Summary: May seem silly reviewing a ball that has now become extinct, but this is an outstanding ball and great value. If your fortunate to find them (usually at huge discount prices), you won't be disappointed.
Durability has been very good for me, providing your not blasting trees or spinning it off cartpaths. I have played the Strata TL balls but they don't play like the Tour Ace.
I look for deals on premium golf balls as it's hard to cough up $40 dollars for a dozen golf balls. I found these new for $15.00 a dozen and bought what they had at MC Sports. I have purchased some AAAA balls on Ebay and have been pleased as well.
What I have learned is that you can own really nice equipment, but if your playing a golf ball that is marginal, your score will suffer, no matter how good a swing you put on it.
I think many balls play too hard which really can affect chiping and putting touch. I have tried noodles and some lower compression balls out of curiosity, but I get little or no feedback as to how I hit them. Seriously, I took a drop on a par 3 that I hit solid using a noodle and couldn't find. Later found it beyond the hole by the next tee box. Like hitting a superball. Gave the remaining dozen including the one I found again to a buddy who goes thru balls like water.
The Tour Ace has amazing distance and putts true with a soft-firmer feel. It has great spin allowing you to back up the ball with your wedge. I have stopped it next to the pin after one hop. Times that I have won longest drive or closest too the pin, the last couple of years, it's been with a Tour Ace.
I really like the Pro V1, HX Tour and Nike ONE which are also outstanding balls, but you have to pay full price for these. So many great balls these days.
After my Tour Ace balls are gone, I'll be using the Precept U-Tri Tour which I bought a bunch of, and is another amazing discounted golf ball.
Hope this helped.

Summary: good ball, but beware if you spin your wedges, this ball can spin the ball too much sometimes. backed 1 up yesterday 25 feet, problem is it was a back pin, had a 60 foot putt bcause of that.

Summary: I waited a while before reviewing this one. My first impression was great, but I thought it would slide. It didn't! The ball is very long, spins very well, but is a little 'clicky'. Not harder then say a ProV1, just 'clicky'. You can tell the mantle is very firm, but the core has a soft feel. Even in the rain I backed up a 1/2 wedge shot to within 8" of the cup. Durability is better than most Strata balls. I'm pretty satisfied even though I lost 8 in Las Vegas. That's not all I lost in Vegas, so I'm OK with it!!

Summary: what can i say.. the ace is sweet off of the tee, and when they say it's the one hop and stop ball, well it's nothing short of that.. overall great..
