How it performs

What I was looking for

At my company, Club Champion, we test anything that involves golf. For example, we were doing a series on what golf balls gain distance. We were given the opportunity to test the Callaway REVA golf ball.

Why I chose this golf ball

This golf ball is marketed to create more distance for golfers, and that is what it does. I gained five yards on my drive and off my long irons. Our company decided to sell this golf ball off the shelves because it does add a good distance to one’s golf distance. We compared this golf ball to the Titleist Pro V1. We chose this golf ball because it was catered more towards women golfers, but we wanted to see what gains men golfers would see.

What I love about it

• Distance: This is the main feature of the golf ball, and it lives up to it. I was able to gain five yards. The solid core in the ball, which is also lightweight, helps gain this distance.
• Color: Glossy white. This helped me find the ball very easily.

Issues I’ve encountered

• Feel: It’s not the most premium feeling ball. Sometimes it sounded like it was going to break.
• Green Spin: I could not create a backspin with this ball. Due to the lack of grip, the ball has off the clubface, making it hard to spin.
• Durability: I felt like it was going to break on some drive strikes. Resin is more cost-effective than not.

Best shot with this golf ball

I was on a par 5 435 yards and could drive this ball 330 yards at the Greene County Country Club. I hit green on three strokes and got the first birdie of the day! This is a great ball for par 5s.

Value for the money vs. other options

The price compares with some of the more premium golf balls. I feel as if the price should come down just a bit. The Callaway REVA ball should be less expensive because it is only strong in one aspect of golf: creating distance. The Pro V1 is the ball I use in tournaments, and although this ball created some distance, it did lack in other aspects.

Final verdict

This ball is great for high-handicap golfers trying to gain 5-10 yards off the tee with long irons.
