Snell MTB-X Golf Balls

Product Information

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.

Without boring you with the specifics, the dimples are set up in a way that allows the ball to straighten itself in the air. The ball has to be aligned a certain way for it to function correctly, which is of course easy to do from the tee but not really possible on the fairway unless you are playing lift and place winter rules. Most of you have heard of Titleist ProV1, Callaway Chrome Soft and TaylorMade TP5 golf balls. You may have even played with them but even if you haven’t then you’ll surely be aware that most of the world’s top players use these balls so they must be really good. They are indeed really good, and unsurprisingly, they aren't cheap.It depends how seriously you take your golf though. If you’re just playing for fun and aren’t keeping score then you can just line the ball up correctly prior to every shot and then just marvel at the straight flight of your ball time and again. What we really want to know is: Are any among this new wave of direct to consumer golf balls worth putting in your bag?

Now for something completely different that might just blow your mind. Are you ready for this? Ok, just imagine if there was a ball that flew straight all the time no matter how much you sliced it. How cool would that be? Thanks to the 338 dimple cover, the Soft Feel is designed to maximise flight performance by reducing drag and creating the launch conditions to get the ball flying high with enough spin and height to land and stop within a reasonable distance. In testing, it did this very well, with it particularly suiting those with slower swing speeds. Direct to Consumer (DTC) golf balls are becoming increasingly popular because they offer a high quality, significantly cheaper alternative to the established golf brands.

6 Iron Performance

So as we mentioned, Seed also offer a subscription offer which can bring those prices down considerably. You choose which ball you like and then you set the frequency of how often you would like them delivered to your door. The soft, cast urethane cover works with the mantle layer to create excellent short game spin, control, feel and durability The My Tour Ball is a phenomenal all-around performer from tee to green. Take that performance and combine it with the lowest price of any ball in this tests we can’t think of any reason why you shouldn’t try Snell’s My Tour Ball. Based in Germany, Vice are the most high profile of the DTC companies and the Vice Pro is the 'alternative brand' golf ball you are most likely to have heard of as it seems to be developing a reputation for being the choice of the 'cool kids'. Klatt worked for several well known golf brands and did not like the direction things were going. Higher prices, less innovation. As with many of the other DTC brands, Seed recognised that golf equipment, specifically balls, are often extremely overpriced due to the huge overheads the leading manufacturers incur while trying to outdo each other.
