    Default Snell Tour Ball

    Playing with a 3 cap yesterday who was using these Snell Tour Balls. He thinks they are as good as Pro V's and had bought this 6 dozen pack. The guys behind irt apparently had helped develop the Titleist and TM Tour balls. Thpughts?

    i have bought the trial pack and played 3 rounds with them. they are comparable with other urethane balls are far as i can tell (average golfer). currently trialing forte tps, apex 6 & prototype1, vice pro & pro+, srixon z, snell mtb, chrome soft. looking at no more then $45 a dozen

    I reckon the forte will win.

    Ive had a few hits with the Snell, felt and performed fine.

    Vices offering is quite good too.

    I play off 1. Its all in the head. Any of the premium balls work fine. You just want to use the one that you are most confident with.

    I reckon if you took the branding off any premo ball, I couldnt tell a difference.

    One of our pro's found a vice ball and thought it was an old balata.

    It felt like a marshmallow off the club. And I thought it flew weird but I'm not sure what model it was.

    Ill stick with the vision reds

    I bought a club from some one a few months ago, and he gave me a sleeve of the Vice tours... hit it once, but then left in the bag and forgot about it.
    Was kind of accidental that I used it on Sunday's game as I forgot to bring a new sleeve of my normal Chrome Soft balls....
    I have a slowish swing speed at 95mph max for my driver; 7 iron distance is around the 140m mark
    Compare to the chrome soft I was using on Saturday, i found my short game with the Vice tour was excellent in terms of able to feel and control the right distance with my putting and chipping. spin rate must have been good because i find the ball was not moving much on the green from where it landed.
    Only downside I found was it seems to be slightly harder to control compare to the chrome soft off the driver..... not sure if it was just my swing for the day...

    But was impressed enough for me to order the 5 dozen to try out

    Couldn't agree more, I play off 2 and I've messed around with Titleist, Forte, Callaway and have landed on the TP5 or TP5x. I'm more comfortable hitting it, for whatever reason that is i'm not sure. I used to feel pressure playing a Titleist, mainly because I didn't want to lose a $6 ball haha, so the original Tour Preferred TM ball got my vote as it was $20 cheaper. Played my best rounds with it so I've stuck with it. If they're all blank, you wouldn't recognise a great difference I wouldn't imagine, maybe around the greens and putting.

    I see Snell are releasing 2 new balls - MTB Black (3 piece) and MTB Red (4 piece) with the red getting a optic yellow cover option. Unsure of a release date in Oz.

    Vice Pro is leading at the moment (lowest scored round) but i have just ordered some Vision X Reds to trial. I do believe that it is probably mostly in my head as others have said!

    I tried a Vice ball and found it to be very nice.

    Just bumping this, Ive been playing the original Snell since around Xmas. Got an end of year deal for 6doz for just over $200. Really like them and have not found them lacking in any area and in fact I think theyre more durable than other premo pills.

    At the recent OzGolf QLD Champs I won a few sleeves of the MTB Red and they are just as good. A bit too much spin for me with the irons but theyre great balls. Much brighter white than the original ball but still really durable and the feel is great. Will be buying a few more of the Black soon because Im down to my last dozen.

    Yeh been playing the Black for a while now. Love them. The Reds are a touch too spinny for me on the PW-8 iron range.

    If you grab 3 dozen you get a bit of discount down to around $3.75 a ball. The durability is amazing. I retired my first 3 after 3 rounds each just for practice balls. Easily could keep playing them as the dropoff is minimal.

    Totally recommend them.

    Not sure if the durability is surprising but it is fantastic, I have never seen a premo ball last as long. I 100% agree with the spin in the short irons, still manage to hit it a long way off the tee with driver and fairways BUT when you spin them it really spins.

    Has anyone tried the Vice Pro Soft? Im keen to get some as Ive read good things.
