Specs
The Wilson Zip golf ball is a three-piece multilayer ball designed to provide the player both spin off the irons and distance off the tee. Wilson says the special rubber composite core is made of high-velocity Neodymium catalyzed polybutadiene designed to provide ultra low compression.
Perks
The Zip is a unique combination of driving distance and feel. Whether it's the core composition or the aerodynamics of the cover, this ball truly flies off the tee and bores through the air on a driving trajectory. The price is right at less than $30 for a dozen compared to other top-line brands.
Sacrifices
This ball is designed for average and even fairly well-skilled golfers, but it is not at the same level as the tour-level balls on the market. The ball indeed spins quite well but does not provide the kind of control tour professionals and top amateurs need to make it truly dance.
Bottom Line
Wilson has built a very fine golf ball in the Zip that is perfect for the vast majority of amateur players.

I got a couple of the Zip's through their 2-ball pack giveaway they ended a couple of months ago. Just got the balls. I had been used to playing Maxfli Noodles and Taylor Made Burner TP's.
Large David Hammer
Great distance, great feel, and super soft. I agree with Baconator...distance control with the putter is difficult (unnecessarily, in my opinion)...due to lack of audible click. Like putting with one of those "superballs" from childhood. Awesome ball tee to green...my only problem was with the putting.
Starched
Just played a round at Tilden Park, shot 80. Nice looking but pretty weird ball. I couldn't agree more with other posters. Tooo soft. i.e. if you hit it solid, there is no feeling or click - you just look up and see the ball going. I would prefer a little more feedback.
BENNYSUPREME
Not a fan of these. They are to soft for my liking. Its like hitting marshmellows. If I played in freezing weather I would consider these.
