I have found a few of these but never played one. $19 is more than I usually spend on a 12-pack of balls (I have learned to break 90 on stupid cheap Wilson balls I buy on sale) but bought these just now. Look forward to seeing how they do. Thanks for posting.

Let us know how they work and compare to the Wilson's
These are decent golf balls, if you're in this general area of ability and willingness to spend a few bux more on balls check out Vice, their Drive series is in this price range and is a nice ball for the price. I hear Cut makes decent ones too, both direct to consumer sales (although vice can be found at Walmart and Target as well)

I love vice pros but these legatos are a better ball than the vice drive IMO
I ordered 2 dozen yesterday and they arrived today just a few minutes before I left to play my first 9 holes of the season. I hot a small bucket on the range before playing. For the first two holes, I played 2 Wilson Ultra balls that I had used at the end of last season and kept in a garage that freezes anytime the temp drops below 25. I live in Colorado so these balls experienced many massive temperature changes over the winter. Wilson Ultras are basically rocks but tend to fly straight. Both drives were short (210-230). Took out a Legato on the third hole and played it on 3-9. A quick aside- I don't play ProV1s because I tend to impart too much side spin on them (same with other 'tour' balls). Side spin contributes to ballooning slices. Also, I hate the idea of $2+ balls. So, the Legato... It isn't a ProV1, which for me is a good thing. I hit four drives of 250+ yards, all in the fairway. That is about 20 yards further than my first few rounds last year. A regular playing partner picked up a putt I left 6 inches short and joked about the brand and asked if it was legal (we are very informal and no one would care if someone played with all illegal equipment). The ball is just soft enough to feel it compress on drives.I hit a few long irons (3 on approach shots, one off tee). I pulled one left but the rest flew straight. Off the tee with a 3-iron, the ball just felt fantastic. Distance was about the same as my Wilsons. Short irons were a little mixed as these seem to fly a little different than the Wilson. I had some really nice 9 iron and wedge shots, and a few that I hit off the toe (user error). I need a few rounds to figure out the distances I hit these with each iron. What is obvious is that these balls are not likely to check-up on the greens, at least not until the greens are softer. My putting sucked today, but that isnt a ball issue. My overall take away.... these are good balls for players who shoot 90+ (as was stated by someone else). These are VERY good balls for the price. I would put these above most Vice balls and last years Kirkland balls (I have not hit Kirklands current ball), In sum, unless you are shooting in mid to low 80s, this would be a very competitive ball for most players. I bought a bunch of Titleist Velocity balls at Walmart on clearance in December ($12 a dozen) and look forward to comparing them to the Legato. I suspect the Legato will be the more enjoyable of the two.
I was playing legatos as a newbie golfer for about a year when I discovered I was having trouble holding greens with chips/ pitches cuz the ball wouldn't stop. I switched to vice pros and noticing much more spin around the greens and stopping power. The trade off was less distance off the tee. 19hcp
