For Golf balls, our testing group used Snell’s Golf new Red and Black models. From the outset, the oohs and aahs were coming out rapidly from the hitting bays and putting greens. The pricing for the balls was also a big winner with this group.
Dean Snell is the “Dean” of golf ball research and development. Having been involved with Titleist and TaylorMade’s brand name balls, he knows what it takes to produce a high quality and reasonably priced golf ball.
Both models perform admirably. Both balls conform to USGA standards and are legal for tournament play.
The MTB Red is a 4-piece construction with 338 dimple pattern with a Urethane cover providing short game control, excellent feel and durability. The ball is also available in Yellow.
The Red’s NEW inner mantle layer increases spin on short irons for approach shots and the Dual-Feel Technology provides a bit firmer feel on longer shots while continuing MTB’s soft feel on short shots.
The MTB Black is the next generation of the original MTB.
It features a 3-piece construction with 360 dimple pattern with a Urethane cover providing short game control, excellent feel and durability and most importantly, a NEW 7% lower Compression Core maximizes distances by lowering spin off the Driver.
Available in white only.
