AVANT 55 – 2 Dozen Pack

I have played the Avant 55 exclusively for the past three months. The low compression ball goes further than most balls, especially off the tee. However, the ball has a very hard cover and rarely stops after hitting the green from 125-150 yards. Usually, it rolls off the back. On the flip side, if the ball lands short of the green due to a heavy hit or the dreaded right hand goes first move, my chips and pitches invariably roll past the intended point where I want the ball to stop. I have played the Elixr and the Vero 1 as well. The Elixr goes almost as far as the Avant 55 with most clubs and handles much better with chips and pitches. The Vero 1 does not travel as far as either the Avant 55 or the Elixr except when I hit the ball on the sweet spot. Though it does not happen regularly, I do manage to hit the sweet spot several times a round and when I do, the Vero 1 flies as far or farther than even the Avant 55. I normally hit a 3 hybrid about 185 yards with a good strike. Recently, I absolutely nailed the 3 hybrid (it’s a Ping in case you’re interested) on a long par 5 and the total yardage was 228 yards.That is a bit more than I usually get from my Driver.
90% of that distance was in the air and I was going up a hill on the shot. That was something to see. When I am on the greens, both the Elixr and the Vero1 are far superior to the Avant 55, especially on long putts. The Avant has a hard cover and is difficult to cozy up to the hole without it going by for 12-20 feet. I miss most of the comebackers at those distances. The Elixr and the Vero 1 are lovely about stopping within a couple of feet from the hole. Especially the Elixr, which you have been out of stock for so long that I wonder if you are ever going to bring it back.
Going into the colder season now and I probably will use the Avant 55 since it really does outdrive the others more often but I will have to switch to a Bullseye putter or some other light weight thin putter that won’t leave me looking at a three putt.
If you don’t start producing a modern version of the Elixr, I will eventually switch to the Vero 1 or, most likely, go back to the Bridgestone E-6. The Vero 1 is a bit too pricey for me as I am retired and play an average of three times a week. I don’t lose many balls but they do sustain scrapes and scratches and need to become backyard tee fodder instead of playing with them.
That is as honest and straight forward about your golf balls as I can be. I will NOT publish this review to the masses because I am really rooting for your company to prosper and I don’t want to put any negative vibes out in the ether. Good luck, Dave

The Avant 55 ball feels soft, plays well, and travels far off the club.

What's with your company not having the WHITE 55 golf balls. I don't use the color golf balls. It doesn't make sense that you do not offer them. No OnCore golf balls for me unless there White.
