Snell MTB-X Golf Balls

Product Information

Each ball was subjected to Launch Monitor testing as well as on course play by our testers. Our testers were also asked to hit multiple chips and pitches with high lofted clubs to verify durability using the same ball in each instance. Long game or short game? -Which aspect of the game is most important to you? Do you want to get as much distance as possible out of your golf ball or would you prefer a model that allows your short game to flourish thanks to improved feel? On the subject of price, the Polara doesn’t come cheap but they should last you longer than the average golf ball because they’re much harder to lose! Last but by no means least, they aren’t handing over millions in endorsements to leading tour professionals in exchange for them using their equipment. Players wouldn't use that gear if it was no good, but it's the endorsement contracts that usually make one brand stand out ahead of others for tour pros.

Using one of the best-selling balls in all of golf as our control sample, we put six of these upstart balls to the test. Our field includes: Whether it be DTC companies or the game's major players, however, they all seem to be following a fairly standard format these days in what they are producing. We are pleased to be able to offer these recycled Snell MTB balls at amazingly low prices. Their makers claim that they offer tour caliber golf balls to the everyday player at an affordable price. So why not give them a try and see how they can improve your game? Now I have to try that Snell ball. I was not aware that Dean Snell was an inventor or co-inventor of some many top notch balls, including the ProV1, the Penta, etc…

When we put the best mail order tour level balls up against the game’s top-selling ball (the Titleist Pro V1) in the summer, we had no idea how good they were going to be. Not only in terms of data, but feel, too.

Cover material -Urethane-covered balls offer the best spin control and feel but do cost more. Experiment to see if you notice enough of a difference to justify the extra cost. TaylorMade updated the Tour Response golf ball in 2022 and we noticed several improvements when comparing it to the previous model. For example, the new ball was faster off the face by 3 mph versus the previous generation, with a fraction less spin being. In total, this created six extra yards of carry and, what's more, we noticed it spun a little less with the irons and wedges as well but yet there was no loss of control or feel. What we really want to know is: Are any among this new wave of direct to consumer golf balls worth putting in your bag? The founder of this company, Dean Snell, spent many years with Titleist and TaylorMade in their golf ball research and development before branching out on his own to great success.

Vice produce some quirky looking golf balls of varying bright colours and the “drip” colour scheme has proved especially popular even if it won’t sit well with golfing purists. Put it this way, if you are a member at one of the more, shall we say, stuffier golf clubs, you don’t want to be pulling one of those out on the first tee of your Sunday medal comp. I have used the latest version of the ProV1 (not the ProV1X), and it actually feels pretty soft as opposed to firm, at least in my opinion. No, it’s not a “Noodle”, but it is soft compared to a lot of balls. The soft, cast urethane cover works with the mantle layer to create excellent short game spin, control, feel and durability Furthermore, they aren’t spending fortunes on marketing and TV advertising either, which once again helps to keep costs down. When you're watching the Masters on TV you will be bombarded with adverts as the big brands compete for your attention with claims over how they have produced the best driver on tour. I genuinely appreciate your article and everyone who has followed up with comments. I think, for a lot of us, we like to play brands that are not mainstream/shoved down our throat OEM equipment. Perhaps the boutique nature of these balls will spawn a similar path with clubs in the near future.

However, it was around the greens where the Get Sum was slightly let down. When hitting a full shot, it had some receptiveness and grab, but, when chipping or pitching, it would not really react, rolling out once it made impact with the turf. They have cut out the middle man if you like. You won’t find these products in the golf retail outlet or the pro shop at your local golf course. That’s a big saving as there is no mark up on price. Usually you'll have a premium, urethane cover, multi layered ball aimed at the more skilled player with a faster swing. There's generally a lower spinning version of that. Think ProV1 and ProV1x or TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x.
