Snell My Tour Golf Balls (One Dozen)

Snell is making a mean golf ball.Over the past two years I've been using ProV's and Chrome Soft as my ball of choice, with Chrome Soft being my most recent gamer. For me the Chrome Soft performed so closely to the ProV around the green that I couldn't bring myself to spend the extra money on the ProV's.I saw an add for the Snell balls, did some research and decided to buy a box. I was extremely and pleasantly surprised when playing this ball at my home course today. The ball performed extremely well off the tee with distances and flight comparable to either competitor that I mentioned. Spin inside 100 yards was predictable and very similar if not identical to the Chrome Soft. The kicker for me, and why I will likely be a full fledged convert to the Snell ball, is it felt so good off my putter. I have a milled face putter and the Chrome Soft felt almost mushy when hitting putts over 15 feet. This ball did not. The Snell ball still felt soft but noticably more crisp than the CS, much like the ProV. For this reason I think I will be switching my ball for the rest of the season to see how it goes long term. As of now I am extremely impressed with how the ball performs from tee to green and it was durable enough to make it through my whole round. I would say buy with confidence and expect to be very satisfied with the performance and value that the Snell ball offers.Update 10-24:NOTHING spins around the green like this ball! I've played prov1x, chrome soft, b330rxs, tp5x. Nothing checks on chip shots and full shots inside 150 like this ball. I've gone back to trying other balls after playing this one and they just don't compare. I don't know what it is but I'm a believer and will not game anything when it counts other than this ball. If you're looking for a ball that off the tee compares to the best balls on the market and around the green cannot be beat then buy these with confidence and excitement!

Highly surprising results from these relatively cheap golf balls. I looked into Mr. Snell (founder and creator of this ball) and apparently he's like one of the god father's in the golf ball world. He helped design the original Pro V1! I had seen some information on these balls, but never got around to ordering a dozen. Did some additional reading and was impressed so I decided to pull the trigger.To preface this review, I've been golfing for 15+ years, currently getting on the course 4-6 times a month, playing about a 7 or 8 handicap, and I usually play either bridgestone 330 if I can find them on sale or taylor made project a (good ball in the cheaper price range). Also, I used to play exclusively high end balls (Pro V1's, Taylormade tour preferred, etc) but somewhere along the way I started playing some mid range balls and didn't see a difference in score, so I saved a little money.Now, regarding the golf ball itself. It feels good when you hit it, very soft. Actually took me a few holes to get used to it. Although the feeling is soft, distance doesn't seem to be sacrificed at all. Balls react well on the green and feel good off the putter. Also able to get good spin with my wedges. Probably the most surprising part was the durability. When I felt how soft the ball was, I figured that it would maybe last a few wedge shots before getting some nice scuff marks. Nope! Played majority of the round with the same ball and it held up quite well. Anyone who's scuffed a Pro V1 with one solid wedge shot knows how disappointing that can be. In all honesty, the best ball I've played at this price point. I ordered another 2 dozen.

Quick review stuff:1. One sentence review: These could be my go-to summer golf ball2. Biggest Surprise: Feel (though, perhaps I should not be so surprised given Dean Snell's history in the industry)3. Summary: Good for distance, shot shaping, green control, and feelNow the longer-winded review, for those of you that would like more info:To preface; I have not hooked up to a launch monitor, so the following review is based on objective feel, and stats tracked by the Arccos gaming system. Playing conditions were two clear, beautiful summer days playing in Southern California - one round at the incredible Irvine Oak Creek Golf Club and one round at the stunning North Course at beautiful Pelican Hill. Both are Tom Fazio courses, so the greens were immaculate, gorgeous, and challenging.Around the greens:The days I played, the greens were playing very fast. I found pitching the ball high, trying to spin the ball was going to prevent a lot of headaches, so I was really able to put the Snell ball through its paces. It did not disappoint. I was able to pitch with such confidence, that on the last hole, I aggressively pitched off of a downhill lie toward the most narrow part of the green, with a sand trap danger toward the back.This is not to say that this ball will fix bad strikes. I lost at least three at Pelican. Those were all my fault, and no amount of marketing jargon would fix a pulled hook. :) My point being that the Snell ball has a great potential for control.Off the tee:In general, I found the My Tour balls went further or as far as the Pro V1x (pre-2017 release... so maybe comparable to the current Pro V1 model), Nike RZN Black (R.I.P. until Ping releases them under their brand name), Kirkland, Callaway Chromesoft X, and tour B330. My swing speed with driver varies quite a bit; between 110 and 120 at last measurement. The feel of the face of my driver was easily comparable to the nice feel of the Chromesoft X, and therein was my biggest surprise. I am genuinely impressed with how the Snell ball feels off of the driver. Not squishy at all, and not too firm. I am looking forward to my next round, just to chase that feeling.Value:At the time of writing this article, the Prime price is ≈ $32.00 . For me, this is a good price for a high performance ball. Considering the next closes at current pricing is either Kirkland (impossible to find), Vice (currently ≈ 35-40), or brands that randomly go on sale, the Snell price is something great on which I can rely.I'll be trying more brands shortly, but they will need to impress considering Snell My Tour Golf Balls (One Dozen).Thanks for reading, and have a fun round.

Great Ball !! This ball is very close to a ProV1. I am a diehard ProV1 guy, but as soon as I got home I ordered 6 dozen of these at 26.33 a dozen you can't go wrong. You will not be disapointed !! I am a 6 handicapp if anyone was wondering about my golfing skills. It was long and soft around the greens. It is a great putting ball also. It is a very good ball, hands down !!
