Folds over the ball? Why, that doesn't make the bore to patch ball any tighter.  You only have like a 1/16" to 1/8"+- contact along the contact equator of the patch/ball.
Looks different , like a square patch I've used in the past.
 If it sells go for it!

At the range I lube with water soluble cutting /cooling fluid, distilled water and cutting fluid concentrate with nothing else added in.
 Hunting is a grease patch of what ever I have opened, which most of the time is several tubes or cans of bacon grease looking stuff.  I even have some bear grease.

I believe it was Mike Nesbitt who wrote a review for Muzzlloader Mag. Believe he liked them.

The "daisy effect" I believe is for a more uniform patch around the ball instead of pushing
down a ball that may be off center if you will, patch wise.

In ay event good luck with them.

for my centerfire rifle jag cleaning i typically use rollpatches, which have 4 unique folding sides.  kinda sorta the same principle as the daisy patch.  the rollpatches work quite well for cleaning, dunno about the daisies for patching.  i prefer not to use precut patches, i'd rather use a patch strip and patch knife for a precisely even and concentric fit of the patch to the ball, to the barrel ... this way, no patch is ever off center as it goes down the tube, as that might cause the ball to exit the muzzle with a bad spin and not fly true.
