The Bottom Line
Top-Flite balls always perform well in their category, and sometimes transcend their category. The Super Straight accomplishes No. 1, but not No. 2.
Pros
- Reduces sidespin, helping fight slice, hook.
- Cover designed to produce boring trajectory.
Cons
- Ball is slightly larger than normal.
- Slick surface hurts around greens.

Guide Review - Top-Flite XL 3000 Super Straight Golf Ball
The Top-Flite XL 3000 Super Straight is definitely that - straight. As compared to other "straight" balls, that is. We all know it's the swing, not the equipment, that produces the flight characteristics. But the Super Straight definitely helps those who slice or hook. It's also great at boring through wind. As with any ball that is super-slick with a non-stick coating, the Super Straight is not going to do much in the way of checking up on greens or providing bite. But those who are most likely to benefit from this ball likely aren't going to be expecting that anyway. Overall, the Super Straight is a nice value ball. But one thing to note is that it is larger than most balls - it didn't fit into the ballwasher at my course, for example.
