Pros: They were free, the cover held up
Cons: Dead flight, no bounce or roll, lousy on the green, an all around bad ball
The Bottom Line: There had to be a reason these balls were free, and I found out that there was, the hard way, playing a lousy round with lousy balls.

| bigdirty's Full Review: Precept MC Distance |
While at a charity golf tournament, I won a box of MC Distance balls as a door prize. Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a prize when I went out to use them. I normally play with balls from the Top Flite D2 line, hence they are my baseline ball.
The MC Distance are very generic balls, with a dimple pattern that mimics Titelist PTS (That's all I can compare to since D2s have an unique set of dimples), and a fairly soft cover.
I took the balls out to a 9-Hole course, and on the first hole, I thought I had hit the ball very poorly (which at times I tend to do), it had a dead flight off the driver, and when it landed, it landed with a thud, no bounce, no roll. Throughout the round, with woods, hybrids, and irons, these balls played with very poor flight, and the subtraction of distance compared to my regular D2s.
With the lousy putter that I am, these balls made it even more difficult, as I use markings on the ball to line my putt. There's not a marking to be found other than the MC logo and ball #. The ball had very little feel to it, and it felt like putting an egg.
After figuring that I don't want to play with these balls anymore, I decided to "donate" most of the balls to my driving range, having dead flight on most of the swings.
I can't reccomend these to anyone, as if I felt they were terrible balls, and the closest I come to the PGA tour is when they play at the CC by my office for the Barclay's, I can't see anyone with superior skills playing with them.
