SNELL GOLF BALLS??? anyone???

[Awesomeguy887]

Heads up to Canadian wrxers Snell golf Canada now has free shipping just like the American version of the site. The steep shipping charges in Canada were what kept me from ordering before but now I will be putting in an order.

 

Ps. Sorry if someone already posted this. I am guilty of not reading the entire thread.

Kinda interesting. I had an MTB ball "crack" its cover after using it in my simulator for about 100 shots or so, so I sent an email to Snell just to let them know. They responded quickly and mentioned "golf balls are tested to handle ~100 shots at most, under optimal conditions so 2 or 3 rounds within any golf ball, will lead to reduced performance or damage".....interesting, I always use a ball till its visibly damaged, or lost, sometime of which its more than 100 shots...if I'm lucky, maybe around 200 or so. How many people change their balls out after 100 shots? Maybe this is why I start to stink it up near the end of the round, because I know it can't be the beer....LOL...

 

Note: I am very happy with the performance of the Snell ball, so not bashing. Was just a little surprised from the response of ~100 shots for a golf ball.

 

Well, I guess if there ever was a case of "to each their own", this would apply. With that being said, I start each new round of golf with a brand new ball.........regardless.

 

So I guess I would fall in the under 100 shots category.

New round, new ball

 

Switch balls every 6 holes in tournaments then use those balls again in casual rounds.

Does anyone know what the compression on MTB is? Tried searching but there's too many posts that mention word compression. Basically just wondering if it's firmer than Duo U or not?

I believe the compression on the MTB is 80.

 

Thanks for posting.

The past two weeks I have been playing both the Snell MTB and Ksig. Both are excellent balls and I will continue to play both regularly. I have 16 dozen Ksigs and 11 dozen MTBs so I will be playing them both for awhile.

 

Out of the two I have been leaning towards the Snell the last two rounds because I find all around (including wind performance) it seems just a hair better for my game. I would highly recommend the MTB to anyone interested.

That and lets be real...the AVERAGE person out there is going to involuntarily "change their ball out" (ex. Lost ball, bad strike off cart path, etc.) AT LEAST once every 100 shots.

 

Even if I'm having a good day and not losing balls, I have to rotate them out every 6-7 holes, because by that point...they're pretty beat up.

9 holes and the ball is moved to back up status. However the Srixon yellow balls can look new after 36 holes. Their yellow can hide blemishes which isn't a bad thing.

the compression rating is mid 80's...

Balls crack all the time on simulators, going from 0-150+mph-0 in a few feet will do that.

Just saw the Mark Crossfield has some Snells and was asking if anyone had played them. Interesting to see the tests and great to see growing coverage of your balls Dean

An interesting golf ball testing comparison with Snell MTB winning:

[PuttCurseRepeat]

If you lost a Snell MTB at Village Links (9) in Glen Ellyn last week, between the 2nd and 3rd fairways, I found it and played 3 holes with it before losing it in the gnarliest of gnarl off the right of the 6th tee.

 

Nice ball. As 3 piece balls go, I'd try this ball again before a ProV1. As long or longer, slightly lower flight, maybe a touch less spin around the green, but still plenty acceptable. Very limited sample but the ball responded well to the good swings I put on it.

 

As was my experience with a found Vice Pro ball, there are several lower priced tour type balls which perform as well, or better than their higher priced competitors.

I recently bought a dozen Snell my tour balls and have tried them for a couple rounds. I really like the feel around the green and how the ball preformed with my short irons but found it was quite a bit shorter with the driver. Like 15-20 yards shorter.

 

Has anyone else experienced This?

Shorter than what ball? I have not experienced any distance loss.

[phil75070]

I certainly don;t experience any loss of distance with the MTB off the driver. In fact, just the opposite; one of the longer balls I have played.

Mid 80's compression. Maybe a ball with higher or lower compression will yield better results. :dntknw:

Prov1x. It must have just been the way I was hitting it that day cause I got out again today and I was hitting it roughly the same distance as I usually do.

 

I really like the MTB off the putter and wedges. I think I found my new ball.

Same here. My best, overall, driving round was with this ball. My young son was with me and still mentions those holes that were over 500 yards on that course. On a couple of them, my third shot was the uncomfortable 30-yard range. Mismanaged by me because I'm not usually that long off the tee. It was a very windy day, too, and the path was great.

thanks for staying with it.. that is always the challenge when people play a new ball and hit drivers and have a perception that a ball is 20 yards longer or 20 yards shorter... It takes some good time and lots of shots to really get a true feeling of a ball, so thanks for continue to test, and I think you will find that the distance of this ball is not a problem at all..

It was a pretty windy day so that probably didn't help either. It was obviously something I was doing though cause I've played 2 rounds since then and didn't notice any change in distance.

 

I just ordered a value pack of MTBs. I hope to have them for the weekend.

[bubbagumpshrimp]

For those of you that have played both the MTB and GS, what is the difference...in terms of forgiveness off the tee...between the MTB and GS? I've got a bunch of the GS, but I'm tempted to try out the MTB. One thing I really like about the GS is the forgiveness off the tee.

Think you'll like them. Been playing these for about a year now and nothing else compares. Hit my second hole in one with these last week and getting ready to order my second 6 dozen...

[kingotheworldma]

Mark Crossfield throws out a really honest review. Good stuff.

[RobDMB]

Can you get Snell balls with different numbers? On the website I see a picture of a ball with number 33 on it but don't see any options for different numbers. Thanks.

[monks66]

i think the double digits are just for the "Get Sum" balls...

[Snell Golf]

Correct, the GET SUM balls are numbered 00, 22, 33 and 99... The MTB are traditional 1, 2, 3, and 4 at this time...

[QuigleyDU]

I tried the MTB and was not a fan. i will have to give them another try. i felt the flight was too high, and i felt it didnt do well in the wind. I also was not happy with the durability.

[kobe882]

Shot my personal best today, 77 with a My Tour Ball.

 

[Elite_Digger]

Just ordered a dozen Tuesday night... 6/6 and just saw my email that I wasn't going to get them until Friday 6/16. Yipe! 10 days to ship from East Coast to Wisconsin? =(

Considering it is free shipping........

 

They use FedEx SmartPost so it starts in the FedEx system but then gets handed off to USPS for actual delivery. Takes forever.
