 These are good and cheap. December 13, 2006

I recently bought this pack and tried them right away. These responded great on the course, even on rough I still could get good lift AND spin. On the greens they're pretty firm. Though from the tee these don't have the same feel as Titleists PRO V1 or Callaways HX's. Because of their price, I guess it's a psychological thing knowing no matter how you hit the ball, if it is lost you don't lose that much. It's conforting to know that. I guess this helps hit the ball more confidently. I would definitely recommend these.

I am not a good golfer, but these balls are very reasonably priced and seem to go the same distance as other balls. They are easy to spot on the fairway as my ball due to the red writing on them. Great value.
Also Consumer's Reports did an analysis and said that all golf balls go the same distance regardless of their price.
Best Kept Secret in Golf July 25, 2007

I found an Intech Beta Ti golf ball during a round I was playing a couple of years ago and decided to try it off the next tee. It was my longest drive of the day and I've been playing this ball ever since. I have a 14 handicap but don't really notice any appreciable difference in the performance of this ball vs. the much more expensive "premium" balls like Titleist, Nike or Callaway. Try 'em, you'll like 'em.
Update February 2009: I'm still using this ball and continue to believe it's the best bargain in golf. Yes, they are softer and less durable than other balls but at the price they can't be beat. I've used other balls including Titleist, Callaway and Nike and can't really see much difference in performance. I'm a 15-handicap golfer but I've let my low handicap buddies try this ball and they are amazed by its distance, accuracy and trajectory. Like I said 2 years ago, "Try 'em, you'll like 'em."
Why Golf Balls are like NASCAR October 13, 2009

A friend gave me a sleeve of these balls a week ago and I liked them so much I just placed an order for them on Amazon. Some facts about golf balls that I learned from a friend of over 20 years who has worked for the largest golf ball manufacturer and just retired from that company last year. Years ago I used to buy X out balls to save money, and like you I thought they were blems thus the cheaper price. What my friend told me was that x outs were absolutely perfect balls, except that for that days run all golf balls would be marked as x outs. Why? Because the company knew there were golfers that would play $[...] a dozen, and those that would pay $[...] a dozen, they wanted both customers. Any ball that was not perfect was always destroyed, not sold as an x out. And who wouldn't want a premier ball at a lower price, but there were the guys who wanted the same ball but wanted the prestige of having the most expensive without the x. Like he said you will see pallets of x outs at a pro shops, if they really made that many mistakes they would be out of business.
While he would never tell me the true cost to make a ball he did tell me that the cost between the cheapest 2 piece vs their premier 3 or 4 piece ball was just a few pennies. The extra cost was due to each extra step in a mold to add the extra layer. Also ball manufacturers use the same materials, there is no proprietary materials, but that different formula mixes gave each ball different characteristics. He said that golf balls were like NASCAR because NASCAR set rules so that all cars are the same, very little variance, and the the USGA does the same for golf balls. Basically other than the normal rules like diameter and weight no ball that is hit by a mechanical machine with a 9 degree titanium driver at 120 mph swig speed can travel with roll more than 320 yards. There is even consideration being given to lower that distance because most courses can't be made longer and par 4 and 5 holes are playing one stroke lower with new equipment.
Bottom line is if you think a $[...] dollar ball is a better ball that a $[...] ball, well the ball manufacturers love you. All that is built into that $5 ball could be in a $1 ball, and in some brands is, but why if they can get that extra $[...] dollars. What justifies that extra $[...] dollars is the fact that you see that balls name on a pro's cap on the Sunday final. Status has its price. As for these Intech Beta Ti and also their Limbo balls they don't meet USGA standards, and could be the reason for the extra distance most reviewers here seem to get. I get about 15 yards more than my other approved balls with the Intechs. Keep in mind if you play in a club or USGA event with a non conforming ball like the intechs you will be disqualified. And most informal scrambles or golf outing that that have a prize like car for a hole in one, the insurance company that covers the cost of the car usually in the fine print requires your club and ball must be USGA approved to get the prize for your hole in one. Bottom line don't pay attention to brands or price, play the ball that works best for you, not a pro on the tournament.
Great for older golfers December 29, 2007

Great for golfers over the hill! I accually increased my distance by using a softer ball. That gives me the confidence to ease up my swing and improve my game. I highly recommend this ball for those who find they cannot hit the ball as far as they did earlier in their life.
