Snell is the best ball out there. Cheapest, longest , most playable ball there is. Half the price and kicks their ass, what else do you want?

Dodd Hook

9 years ago

Snell makes the best ball for the cheapest price period. It goes the farthest, plays what you are playing, hook etc. Bar none best ball out there for average price. Thanks Snell!

edouard

9 years ago

I do like a soft feel. From the tee to around the green.

edouard

9 years ago

The feel is the most important to me.

Zimmer

9 years ago

The most important thing i look for in a golf ball is the price, then i look for the best that I can get within that price.

Lastly I hope that the ball will bite the green as I envisioned. If it doesnt, I hope it rolls true to help me make my putt.

Jeremy Thee

9 years ago

The most important for me in a ball is Distance control.

Bailey piper

9 years ago

Defiantly always want a great feel from 150 yards in distance is a key factor but is not necessary as you will find with the vast majority of big brand golf balls eg. Titleist, Nike ect

Christian Hafer

9 years ago

Low spin off the tee and feel on the greens. Also one that smells like a chipotle burrito but they haven’t come out with that… YET.

John M

9 years ago

Distance Control

Denli Struwig

9 years ago

I like a golf ball that goes forward after I’ve hit it…..

Michael Montisano

9 years ago

Greenside spin!

Doug

9 years ago

I look for low side spin off the tee and smooth feel off the putter

Larry Chapel

9 years ago

I am a 120+ handicapper. I really could care less about the ball, but I do know that the right ball will help me out a little. The ball I would like to play would be yellow (makes it easier to find when I miss the fairway), and doesn’t feel like I am hitting a rock. Nothing to soft, but just the right feel.

Phil

9 years ago

I want a ball that is “my ball”. A ball that instills a little more confidence when I stand over it because that ball and I have been through all types of experiences. I look for a ball that spins on command around the greens and gives me a few more rotations on the fairway so I’m hitting last into the green. I look for a ball that doesn’t significantly eat into my green fees and plays even better than the those that do. I like having a ball that provokes pride when others ask what ball I’m playing. At the end of the day, I enjoy playing a ball that enjoys hitting greens and fairways and most of all dropping in the cup.

Johnny Barrow

9 years ago

I look for a solid feel off the tee, crisp feel with my irons and how responsive it is around from 100 yards and in.

Bobby B.

9 years ago

I look for distance and control around the greens. Biting on the green is a must.

Jonathan P

9 years ago

I’m always looking for a golfball that has good touch around the greens, but does not balloon up into the atmosphere. I want a ball that will perform in every facet of the game.

Mark S

9 years ago

I look for a ball that is capable of doing it all. Respectable distance, great feel, spin around the greens, and soft off the facenter of the putter. Is that too much to ask?

Eddie Sidenstricker

9 years ago

I look for consistency and feel off the putter and my wedges.

Iona

9 years ago

Controllable trajectory, good ‘feel’ and high wedge spin

Jonathan

9 years ago

Softness

Dirty Dan

9 years ago

Gotta have some urethane cover action and stopping power for sure! Probably price second and feel 3rd!

Doug

9 years ago

Distance and soft feel

Deon Swart

9 years ago

What I like about a golfball, it should be round with dimples. Just kidding.
Real likes 1. Soft, low spin and the right trajectory off the driver. 2 Again a soft feel and stopping power on the greens with short and mid irons. 3 Soft feel off the putter.

Jayson H.

9 years ago

I look for a ball that’s long of the tee but also with great feel around the greens

Michael Soukup

9 years ago

Top three things I look for in a golf ball:

1. How it sounds bouncing back off the baseboards on my living room wall
2. Resistance to teething (9 month old)
3. Spin from 90 yards and in

The Snell MTB scores exceedingly high on all three of these criteria.

Edmund Cruz

9 years ago

I look for distance off the tee and great feel on the greens.

Todd E.

9 years ago

I look for the ability and willingness of a ball that will obey my verbal instructions while in flight or rolling on the fairway or green.

Nerazurri

9 years ago

The most important thing for me is the confidence a ball gives me :)

Marty Neighbour

9 years ago

The most important thing for me is feel. All the top balls will be similar in performance, due to the restrictions put in place. But feel is different amongst them.

Geno V.

9 years ago

I look for a ball that enables me to score.

Scott H.

9 years ago

I look for whichever ball I find on the course I’m playing is clean and scuff free.

Pat R.

9 years ago

I look for consistent performance and durability throughout the round. I’m more interested in a quality “all-around” ball vs. one that claims superior distance or feel.

Scott S.

9 years ago

Has to have a soft feel for touch on and around the greens!

Dave S.

9 years ago

The most important things I look for in a golf ball are feel around the greens and performance in the wind.

Jeremy S

9 years ago

Feel around the greens is the most important attribute for me in a golf ball.

Ed Quiles

9 years ago

I look for 3 things in a golf ball,

distance, feel and durability

Lee L

9 years ago

Low driver spin, soft off the putter face with a muted “click”.

Brandon

9 years ago

Feel.

DKings

9 years ago

Long and straight off the tee, soft around the greens.

P. Evans

9 years ago

spin off the driver and around the greens are my most important factors to me in a golf ball

Matt T

9 years ago

Holding greens and solid roll off the putter.

Gradius

9 years ago

Low spin off driver. Drop and stop spin on greens – soft feel added bonues

Mathieu M

9 years ago

I like a golf ball that has a soft feel to it, this leads to my second point of durability. The ball can’t be so soft that it gets chewed up every few holes, I’m a big fan of a ball if I can go an entire round with not having to worry about nicks and scuffs. And last is consistent roll while putting.

Jason Korfhage

9 years ago

Reduced spin off the tee, feel in the short game.

Alex S

9 years ago

Feel and consistency around the greens

Isaac Scott

9 years ago

The ball has to go straight. The majority of the time I do not want anything more than 5 yards of curve. If a ball can help me keep it down the middle. I’m a fan.

John

9 years ago

Reasonable price, distance, durability and control

Tim

9 years ago

Distance with the driver and soft on the putter…

DL

9 years ago

Combination… soft off the putter, long off the tee, touch around the green, consistent distances, durability

Tom M

9 years ago

I look for green side control with my golf ball. 75 yards and in.

Wayne Starr

9 years ago

I’m looking for a spin around the greens, a soft feel and accuracy. Having just shot 6 under my handicap on the weekend you’d think I’d be happy with my ball but if Snell can help to continue to push my handicap down even further then I’d love to give them a hit. Cheers

Gilbert Schumpert

9 years ago

I want a distance ball that is not hard and feels soft off the driver.

Jayn Russell

9 years ago

I want my ball to be durable and to have some spin also.

Jayn Russell

9 years ago

I like for my ball to be durable and that will spin also.

Jayn Russell

9 years ago

I like for a ball to be durable and that spins enough to stop on the green.

Nelson Estell

9 years ago

I look for more spin in the summer and more carry in the winter.

Tommy K

9 years ago

I like a ball that is consistent, feels soft and doesn’t punish me if I miss hit it.

Wee Sern

9 years ago

I like the balls to be soft, gives reasonable amount of spin and durable.

would be better if the ball is attracted to the hole… :-)

Travis Goodspeed

9 years ago

I look for a golf ball that is water repellent, is kind to the squirrels and trees, and prefers darkness over the light of day. When my ball goes soaring over the water, I expect it to skip along gracefully back onto the green stuff. When it goes offline into the woods, I expect it’s due-diligence with mother nature to pay off, allowing favorable 90* ricochets back into play. People call these “member’s bounces,” HA! I know better than that… But honestly, above all else, what I expect the most is for my ball to just go into the hole. I don’t care where I hit it, how I hit it, whether my divot goes farther than the ball. I just expect my ball to go into the hole. Is it really so much to ask to take a score of 18 for a round of golf?

John Marsh

9 years ago

I look for a golf ball with a soft feel that will find the bottom of the cup

Mark

9 years ago

I look for my golf balls to be for sale in the UK

Kevin DeMeza

9 years ago

I look for durability in a golf ball as well as soft feel around the green without sacrificing distance off the tee. Hitting them long and straight is great, but getting a ball to check up on the green instead of rolling off the back edge is better.

Jacob Babbidge

9 years ago

Feel, distance and spin are what I look for especially in my driver and wedge.

Jacob Babbidge

9 years ago

Feel and distance are key

Daeho Hong

9 years ago

Driver distance + Feel and spin of wedge shots. I just look for cast urethane cover balls like My Tour Ball!

Alex Shattuck

9 years ago

I look for a ball that feels soft and reacts as predicted. Durability is also a key factor in my ball choice.

L Yu

9 years ago

Stopping the ball quickly on the green. Feel when hitting irons.

Glenn H.

9 years ago

These Balls are the “Real Deal” for those looking for performance at a reasonable price. I purchased a box after solid reviews and Golf Spy’s endorsement and I have been very impressed. I have played many brands, but, these balls will be staying in my bag going forward. Thanks, Dean!

Tom Wethekam

9 years ago

I like a golf ball with soft feel and lots of spin around the green

Cal S

9 years ago

The thing I look for the most is spin around the greens.

Jeff

9 years ago

Long and straight, with a firmer feel off the putter, and controllable around the green. Lot to ask, and this ball delivers!

Jim S.

9 years ago

Feel – driver, approach, short game, and putting.

aldo

9 years ago

Soft and Long!!!

Ken

9 years ago

Long and straight!

Chris Backhouse

9 years ago

I look for a ball to have a good feel, in my terms that’s not too hard or too soft. It has to produce consistent distance with each club, come off the putter well, be durable and offer good value for money.

Gary M.

9 years ago

Distance, Consistency,feel, and contro around the greens — am I asking for too much?

Phil

9 years ago

Feel on the club face and durability.

Chris Harman

9 years ago

Spin control throughout the bag.

Alan Larson

9 years ago

Most important is feel from 100 yds in. I suppose spin is part of that, but the ability to be consistent on pitches, chips and bunker shots is paramount. Even if the spin rate is not fantastic, if I know that, I can compensate, as long as the ball is consistent.

FTWPhil

9 years ago

Feel off of the putter.

Brian

9 years ago

Easy question… PRICE! Lose to many golf balls to spend lots o’ money on them.

Alex Hampson

9 years ago

Durability is a must as well as greenside spin for those tight chips and bunker shots!

Adam Dolson

9 years ago

Spin control on tee shots (left/right) and around the green (stop/release). Also durability.

PBH

9 years ago

Consistent feel and spin

Rocky

9 years ago

A cover that last and a ball I can feel off the shorter clubs.

Chase VanCappellen

9 years ago

I look for distance and control in a good golf ball!

Keylan

9 years ago

I love hitting the long ball so it needs to have pop off the face to get that ball speed up but it can’t compromise the spin around the green l need a ball that will bite the green.

Ron Hill

9 years ago

Distance off the tee.

Chris C

9 years ago

Soft Feel and green side spin

Don B

9 years ago

Control around the green

Jack Sher

9 years ago

Being a lover of the “short game”, consistent spin, is tops, for me.

Bill Gabbert

9 years ago

I like to have a soft feel to the golf ball. Distance off the tee and the ability to hold greens on approach shots.

Torre Patrick

9 years ago

The ability to stop on a partial wedge shot.

Bradd F.

9 years ago

Distance off the tee, spin and softness around the greens and that they roll straight.

tom whitehead

9 years ago

a soft feel on irons is most important for me…tom

Luigi Pitis

9 years ago

I consider important duravillity and design!

Consistently predictable is what I want from my golf ball.

Ray Porter

9 years ago

9 years ago

My endless pursuit to look for a ball that offers the best balanced blend of distance and green perfornance.

rick wurth

9 years ago

consistency with every shot

rod macdonald

9 years ago

Soft around the greens so the ball stomps down, and stays down

Bill Ledbetter

9 years ago

Softer, better feel

Jason Harrison

9 years ago

I prefer a ball with low spin rates for driving, but with good ‘feel’ around the greens.

Ricky S

9 years ago

I want a ball that is long off the tee and consistent around the greens.

Russ B

9 years ago

Soft and spin on the green

Mike S

9 years ago

I want a ball that performs well tee to green at a reasonable value. Control is a must.

Vincent Tan

9 years ago

Definitely a soft feel ball that not only give extra distance but more importantly, a truer straighter flight. Approach to green must be soft landing with minimum roll, backspin would be a bonus.

Tom Hester

9 years ago

I like using a softer ball with more spin

Steve Thomlinson

9 years ago

Distance, reliable performance and good feel around the green are the key determinants of a good ball in my opinion.

Brent

9 years ago

Feel is king

joe

9 years ago

Price and feel….living on a budget!

Mark Dvorchak

9 years ago

green grabber

Matt Wiseley

9 years ago

Spin- low driver, good short game

Thomas Spielbusch

9 years ago

When I’m BROKE, it’s any ball that I can find. Otherwise, I look for a softer ball with better feel.

Mike Sullivan

9 years ago

Feel price are durabilty are what I look for in golf balls.

Kym Davies

9 years ago

Predictability is the most important thing for me in a golf ball. I need to know that my good shots will be rewarded with a ball that has consistent flight, length and spin.

Mike Chaney

9 years ago

When you want to know the most important thing, I would take that to be the one most important thing. Playability around the green.

Thomas Vanover

9 years ago

Performance off the driver and irons and feel.

Jon William

9 years ago

Two things I look for in a ball, first is price and just as if not more important is the feel off the club

billy malooly

9 years ago

how they feel and hold up, and these are amazing!

Randy Kitts

9 years ago

Versatility,Long off the tee,soft feel off the irons & soft touch around the green

Kris

9 years ago

Feel off the club face and control around the greens especially as I am a blind golfer

Dthomcat

9 years ago

Feel off putter. Distance off driver

Ryan Jeffery

9 years ago

Im looking for a ball thatboffers versatility around the green and can still perform in windy conditions.

tim

9 years ago

feel

Wayne F

9 years ago

It all starts with performance around the green which is how you should evaluate a ball. Let’s face it, most top balls will perform the same off the driver.

Jan Kowalewski

9 years ago

For me, most important in a golf ball is short game control.

Gadiel Gonzalez

9 years ago

Low spin off the driver and long clubs, but good spin with the wedges . Also likes soft feel on iron shots.

R. C.

9 years ago

feel, price & proformance

carlos

9 years ago

Feel & distance

SJ

9 years ago

The ball must feel good leaving the club. It must react as expected approaching and around the green.

Golfer Burnz

9 years ago

Feel, durability, roundness, balance, graphics.

Brett A

9 years ago

I like a ball to retain its white throughout a round, despite what i might put it through!

John Schiavone

9 years ago

I look for a urethane cover for greenside spin.

Scott H

9 years ago

Soft feel around greens putts great,

Nathan

9 years ago

After reading the article on mygolfspy, and learning that Mr Dean Snell has designed or at the very least had his hand in designing ALL of my favourite golf balls going back to taylormade TP red.
It is obvious that what I look for in a golf ball is in order
1.who designed this ball, and
2.spin around the greens
3. Distance and minimal spin off the tee

Paul

9 years ago

The most important factor is the ability to hold a green. I hit a high lofted shot and I want the ball to hold the green.

Greg

9 years ago

I only use a ball for 18 holes and then it becomes a practice ball, so it’s got to have enough durability fir 18 holes, it’s got to work with my clubs to come off the face smooth and solid, it’s got to land and stop on the green and be able to spin back when played with spin and it’s got roll over and over into the centre of the cup.

Rob

9 years ago

The number one thing I look for in a golf ball is consistency, I like when the lift, roll etc are the same throughout a round even when a ball is lost.

ThinkingOfGolf

9 years ago

The number one thing I look for in a ball is consistent spin inside 100 yards. I want a nice penetrating iron shot with a nice hop and stop wedge.

Todd J

9 years ago

I’ve got to have a ball that feels good, with durability.

John K.

9 years ago

I look for soft feel while playing the short game, but also a ball that provides feedback off the face of my driver down through my bag! Thanks,

Robert Peed

9 years ago

I prefer a ball that performs well in distance and spin, but it has to feel right. I don’t like a mushy golf ball, or a Fred Flinstone golf ball.

Mike Stanley

9 years ago

I like a soft golf ball that travels a long way. The best ball I found so far is the Bridgestone B330 rd. I look forward to trying the Snell golf ball.

John Chalmers

9 years ago

I want distance, control and feel. It is very nice to have that feeling when I’m hitting Snell’s My Tour Ball. And at the same time I know I don’t have to hit the sweet spot to achieve that feeling.I really enjoy the ball and it’s performance. Everyone that i have let try My Tour Ball has ordered on line.

Aaron M

9 years ago

Soft feel

D tadeu

9 years ago

Distance, spin, soft feel

Jeff Mitchell

9 years ago

I prefer a ball that avoids water, sand and trees.

John Silvas

9 years ago

I like a ball that has a soft feel around the greens, but is still durable enough last a whole round.

Daniel Hinzman

9 years ago

Low spin soft feel

Richard

9 years ago

I like everything I have read about the Snell Golf Ball, hope to win and start hitting them!

David Lewis

9 years ago

Low spin from driverand control around greens.

Tom Ford

9 years ago

Currently playing Titleist Pro v1.

This looks like a pretty awesome golf ball!!! Would love a years supply of it!!!

Andrew

9 years ago

Price point is excellent, specs sounds excellent, I would love to play this ball.

I hit a sleeve the other day, and the performance was better than expected.

Would love to play this ball on a regular basis.

Dan Smith

9 years ago

The ball that goes in the hole the easiest.

David oliver

9 years ago

Long off the driver with great control around the greens.

Zane

9 years ago

Always look for a ball that feels good in the short game and feels soft coming off the putter face.

Hans Wimmer

9 years ago

Low spin off the driver and soft feel around the greens.

Frank Schuhmann

9 years ago

I like a soft feeling and sure – long distance

Rev. Mike

9 years ago

A ball the is a consistent product sleeve to sleeve.

Rev. Mike

9 years ago

A ball that is a consistent product from one sleeve to the next.

Ashley Jones

9 years ago

Spin around the greens. Having a wedge shot back up a few feet but not crazy. I can’t really tell the difference between balls on long shots, mainly just short game.

Gary Gammon

9 years ago

Feel around the greens. Good short game spin, but controlled. Low spin with the longer shots is a plus and price/durability are too but it’s mainly the feel inside 130 yards or so.

Andrew

9 years ago

If it plays anything like the Bridgestone b330rx that I use at the moment, then I’ll start using them.
Andrew

Cole V.

9 years ago

Soft feel and good spin and distance control.

Matt M

9 years ago

Great distance, wind resistance, low driver spin but high lower iron spin and a soft feel for all clubs in my arsenal.

Don

9 years ago

Price, forgiveness and soft feel.

Joe Perez

9 years ago

Soft feel on iron shots, but not a cover so soft that it produces too much spin with a driver. I’ve purchased 8 dozen My Tour balls (not because I’ve lost a lot of them ^_^ ) and this ball works for me as well as the B-330 RX.

Jon Puritz

9 years ago

I like a golf ball with consistent distance control and soft feel

mackdaddy

9 years ago

I look for low spin off the tee and soft feel with controlled spin from 135 yards to the hole. Durability is a key factor as well.

Graham Upshaw

9 years ago

I want my golf ball to be predictable. I want it to check if that’s the shot I’m playing or spin back if that’s the shot I’m playing. No surprises

Larry Horrie

9 years ago

I look for a golf ball that has a hard time getting lost.

Tom

9 years ago

consistency around the green. Knowing how the ball will react
allows for good short game results.

ted

9 years ago

distance

Kurren

9 years ago

Low spin off everything except the short game!!

Shawn grinstead

9 years ago

OH Snell Yesssss!!!!!!!
The only thing I care about in a ball is its ability to find the bottom of the cup!

Chris Oviatt

9 years ago

I look for good distance off the tee with little side spin as possible. But feel around the green.

Charles Bartholomew

9 years ago

Plain and simple, the most important thing I look for in a golf ball is feel.

P.J. Evans

9 years ago

Performance – now that’s a combination of things.
Greenside spin is important, but minimized spin off the metal woods/hybrid/long irons.
Distance – I don’t care how much a ball spins if I’m long 10+ yards on the driver, I won’t play it.
Feel – off the irons or putter, it has to feel good. Hate the hard feeling from distance balls.

I’m playing the Snell ‘My Tour Ball’ and it does all the things I want it to do, it’s a premium ball at $31.99 – support this ball/company and ensure they continue be available for us!

Thomas W.

9 years ago

I look for stopping power on my approach shots and short game control.

Jaxbeachpackerfan

9 years ago

A good distance reputation and excellent spin and feel for short irons and wedges.

Joey Schroeder

9 years ago

I look for consistency. I want to know how far my ball will go, and how much it will spin when struck well or poorly.

Randall W.

9 years ago

I’m looking for the best of both worlds, long off the tee and soft on the greens. Give me distance and feel without compromising integrity or quality.

WILLIAM WILLIAMS

9 years ago

I look for is predictable performance. this includes distance, trajectory, curvature, short game response, putting and overall feel and distance !!

David Orbach

9 years ago

To me, the most important thing is feel around the greens, with wedges and putting.

steve

9 years ago

Golf ball control inside 100 yards helps scoring

Matt

9 years ago

Need a ball that i can control the spin and My Tour Ball allows me to do that!

Jamie

9 years ago

For me, it is important that a ball feels soft off the club face, has low spin off the driver, and has good short game control with good spin on approach shots and shots around the green.

rod

9 years ago

I have tried the Snell balls and are just AWESOME. Importance to me:
1. Performance
2. Feel/Spin around greens
3. Value…great ball & great price

John Barry

9 years ago

Price and spin, but prefer yellow!

Jeff

9 years ago

Love the distance and the feel of both the Tour Ball and the Getsum ball. The tour ball is my favorite although each time I’ve ordered, I’ve gotten a box of each.

chris m

9 years ago

The Snell MTB is awesome; truly is both long and soft and it wears very well. I recommend to all my playing partners.

Bob Trimble

9 years ago

YELLOW!! Enough said, but a great price, too!

Travis

9 years ago

I look at price…after that I want a performance ball that works well off the driver as well around the green. I have the MTB and they are great! I have let others use some and they are surprised as well! Great ball!

Bob

9 years ago

I want a soft feel off the club face and stopping power on the green.

Brett

9 years ago

Lately most important to me is that it’s yellow. But I’ll try any ball once or twice.

Tim Hickey

9 years ago

I need a ball with less spin off the driver and long clubs, but good spin with the wedges and some spin with the other irons. Not too hard, if we’re between hard and soft, I’d go towards the softer side.

Brian Morgan

9 years ago

Feel off the irons

Andrew

9 years ago

I used to think that distance was the most important factor for me in a golf ball but honestly now it has to be the performance around the greens. Short shots matter the most when it comes to scoring on a course. I’d rather get it in the hole faster than hit it twenty yards farther.

Jim Nalepa

9 years ago

A ball has to have a solid feel coming off the club face , a nice feel around the greens, and it must have a soft putting feel.

Cobra_Nut

9 years ago

I need a ball that will hold a line, will do well in the wind and keeps a nice soft feel 5o it but nut so soft as to feel mushy. Oh and one the has a built in laser to the hole would be nice.

KP

9 years ago

Like a soft feel with low driver spin and more spin around greens and distance off the tee.

Dave Rafus

9 years ago

Knowing that the ball will have a soft feel when putting but will not balloon on all other shots because of too much spin.

Mike V.

9 years ago

Low spin off the tee, good control around the green and most importantly durability.

JD

9 years ago

Nick V

The Snell My Tour Ball is right in the middle of a Prov1 and Prov1x. Its just about perfect! It has great feel from 130yds in and is very long off the Tee, which is basically what every golfer looks for in a ball.

Brandon Foster

Distance off the tee and spin on the green. Consistent feel off of putter.

Marshall W.

9 years ago

I look for what probably most people look for, a balance of distance off the driver and feel/spin in the short game. (liked on FB!)

ASR

9 years ago

For me, it’s performance from 100 yards and in. With the introduction of soft feel goft balls of late, I do like the feel of a softer ball of the putter face as well. But the bottom line is consistent spin around the greens.

James Matranga

9 years ago

Good Distance and soft feel

Dan R.

The most important thing for me is that the ball feels good chipping and putting.

Brian Smith

Distance and accuracy off the tee with feel and spin on and around the green.

Scott Young

Feel is most important to me. When the feel of the ball is right, I have the confidence that I can make it do what I want it to do. I also prefer a softer, buttery feel to the golf balls I play.

Joshua Herrera

9 years ago

A golf ball has to preform from tee to green. The Snell golf ball does just that. Long off the tee and soft around the green!

JT

Feel and aesthetics. It’s gotta feel good and look good.

Brandon C

I look for short game control and feel of the golf ball. Also doesn’t hurt if the ball is longer off the driver than others. All of which Snell provides!

Steve Trust

9 years ago

I love the feeling when a golf ball bites into the green

Susan Risinger

9 years ago

My perfect ball will have a soft feel off irons and the putter and have a consistent backspin when properly struck, also it should have controllable trajectory which can be changed by manipulating the club face.

I love the feel of the My Tour Ball around the greens chipping…getting consistent results is very important. Also putting, my distance control is markedly better.

Julia Schulze

9 years ago

Length (low spin) off the tee, stability in the wind, stopping power around the green (high spin) and durability

Kenny B

9 years ago

I have been playing the Snell My Tour Ball for over a month now and love it. It’s better than the ProV1 off the tee, especially in the wind. It bores through the wind providing more carry bout still has great feel around the green. Love the stopping power from short approach shots. I can play this ball for several rounds and it still looks good; much better than the ProV1. AND, the price point is reasonable for a tour quality ball!!

KC Leonard

9 years ago

The most important performance. I want the ball to do What I expect it to do when I hit it a certain way. So far in my testing the My Tour Ball had done exactly that.

George Mervosh

Mark clayton

Kevin Rea

I look for a ball that is outstanding from tee to green. A ball that has low spin off the tee, but higher spin when hitting shots into the green. I want a ball that can do everything I ask of it, so I guess the most important thing to me is the balls performance.

Wally

9 years ago

Two things define a good balls for me. The feel as it comes off the putter face and the type of feel and response I get from my short game/chips. Distance off the tee is all subjective to me, iron feel is basically the same with most premium/upgraded balls, the stuff close is what counts for me!

mondeau

Short game and putting feel. Added distance would be a bonus, but not at the cost of short game feel.

Liam Toland

Lynne

9 years ago

I want reliable spin around the greens and low spin off the tee for decent distance. I’m a +1 but don’t have high clubhead speed. I rely on shots around the green to score well. The lower compression of the Snell tour ball seems to accomplish that, with a bonus of lower price.

Mike McFerron

Jim

Adam Parker

9 years ago

For me its a soft feel and sound on and around the green.
Been playing the Snell’s for two weeks now and I am really liking the consistency.
Played a round alternating between that and ProV1x and on my good swings the results in distance and feel were very similar.

Chung Nguyen

9 years ago

I play snell and this ball has all the qualities in all top golf balls (long off the tee, soft feel around the green, and good bites on greens for approach shots.) I have hit similar approach shots using snell (my tour ball) and prov1x and snell is the same and on occasions better than prov1x.
In my opinion, if you play snell, you won’t have to yell [fore] because it is so straight!

revkev

The best value that I can find for a ball that offers spin inside of 100 particularly around the green, distance, stability in the wind and consistency. I’m weird, I don’t care about feel in that it will feel good eventually if it has those other attributes.

pre stamped line— what good is it if you cannot read the greens. no offense, i mark the ball, clean and place however it comes out of my hand. the putter gives you plenty of alignment.its all in the stroke, imo

Tom Duckworth

Hoagie22

The kids don’t listen,the wife sure as hell doesn’t listen, so when I golf I look for a ball that will listen to me when I talk to it, I have yet to find one. They always tend to do the opposite of what I want, like spongebob square pants they must all think it’s Opposite Day, or there just doing it in spite, all one big conspiracy , but seriously since they can’t hear me or are ignoring me, either way I look for a ball with feel and responsiveness a ball that responds the way I want when I hit it, a fifty shades ball.

Dave S

9 years ago

I look for a golf ball that has great feel around the greens first and foremost. That said, I’m also concerned with price-point, so I do my best to deal shop and avoid the $50 per dozen balls. In that vein, I’ve been playing Taylormade Lethal Practice balls that I get off Amazon for ~$20. The only difference I can see is that they have “Practice” stamped on them… the feel is the same. Hoping I can get some Snells soon and try them out as they seem like exactly what I’m looking for in a golf ball.

Tom frogley

When picking a new ball, my priorities are the feel off the short clubs and putter coupled with the lowest driver spin. Typically this is a distance orientated tour ball.

Charles P.

Definitely value. I’m a high handicap, twice-a-month, recreational golfer, so I’m not going to be able to detect huge differences in performance in the low to mid-level ball range that I normally buy, nor am I willing to pay much more than $1 per ball if I’m going to lose a significant number of them. But I am a lifelong golf enthusiast who can appreciate quality when it’s offered at a reasonable price. Snell looks like a brand I can aspire to and settle in with as my game improves…

Steve Duncan

Kevin Scott

9 years ago

The most important things for me with my golf ball are how they react off the wedge and the putter , and how they travel thru the air on windy days . After those two , durability is the next factor that concerns me . Every ball seems to be long these days , but not all have the same feel and control on scoring shots .

Sschaffer24

9 years ago

In a new golf ball I predominantly look for feel, adequate distance, value and spin around the greens.

I love hitting a wide range of shots around the greens and I need a ball that is predictable how it will come out. I need something that holds its own in the distance column, but I’m willing to sacrifice some of that in order to give me the performance around the greens.

After testing the Pro V1, Pro V1X, SR3, Z Star, B330 line and Lethals, the Snell offers by far the best performance to value ratio I can find. And compared to the Pro V1X (previous gamer) holds its own in every category. With adding more spin for me on the greens. Which is a huge plus!

Good luck to all that apply! And I obviously would love any prize I receive!

I really like a firmer urethane ball. I feel that the urethane cover gives me a little bit more grip on my wedges around the green. I’m not a great golfer, but I have troubles spinning a harder cover golf ball.
I also like a higher compression golf ball because I already have a high enough spin # on my driver I don’t need anymore balooning!

I’ve been testing the Snell My Tour Ball for about a month now and will be doing a write up on my experiences with it soon in the forums so I don’t want to spill too many beans but for me I look for a feel that would be soft off the putter, lots of stopping power off of my wedges and low spin from my driver.

Philip Hallstrom

9 years ago

Feel, spin, and durability. I left ProV1 because I would chew through the cover in half a round. Nice ball, but that is just ridiculous. I want a ball that will spin around the greens if need be. Mostly I want a ball that will perform consistently from shot to shot.

Consistency is the Main aspect of a golf ball for me. I want it to perform exactly the same every time. If I hit it with an 8 iron and I expect an average distance, flight characteristics each time.

Jim giles

Definitely look for feel on and around the greens.

Anthony L.

Just got some Snell’s in the mail last week. They seem as soft or softer than the ProVs. I look for feel on those 100 and in wedge shots.

Scott Hunter

9 years ago

Low spin off the driver while being able to work the ball with the irons while enough spin to one hop and stop on the greens but not enough to spin back to much. If aging to a number I want count on that distance. Feel should not be like a marshmallow firm enough to tell where you hit on the club face bit not harsh feeling at impact.

Gabriel

Control around the greens, spin inside 100 yds.

Kosta B

Feels so satisfying to have an amazing ball to play without the exorbitant price. Keep up the great work.

Patrick Enright

I am on my 3rd dozen of Snell balls since reading your reviews… It is extremely durable, and has a great feel around the greens! Not to mention there aren’t any distance issue with the above mentioned combo that I look for in a ball!

Performance around the green.

Dennis Duncan

Consistency; ball flights, distance & the way it holds the greens.

Joe Simmons

Best as I can tell, not yet shipping to the UK

Allan Shearer

Low spinning from the tee (for accuracy rather than distance). Enough spin with irons to control spin and stopping

Robert B

Feel off the putter is most important.

Peter Tipps

9 years ago

Performance without the bs.

Bradley Young

9 years ago

Low spin off the tee. High spin around the green

Shawn Callaway

The first thing I look at in a golf ball is the fell off the putter. When it comes time to buy I look for a ball that’s a good value. One that performs well and is at a good price point.

JFirth8

All around performance… but predominantly a ball that has low spin with the driver and mid spin on shorter shots into greens….

Kyle Morris

Trajectory, specifically performance in windy conditions is the most important determining factor for me.

Drew Ely

9 years ago

The most important thing that I look for is price and accuracy off the tee.

Alex Coomz

9 years ago

I open the sleeve and gently bite them. They have to feel pleasingly soft to me. Short game spin and control mean everything to me from a scoring perspective.

sean kim

9 years ago

besides soft feel, a ball that doesn’t shred apart after a full wedge shot.

Sen

9 years ago

Feel and consistency

Dave Crnich

9 years ago

I look for feel and distance off of the long clubs, spin and control from the shorter clubs and great feel off of the putter blade. Also cost is a factor especially when I can get balls for $20 cheaper that perform the same or better.

Number one is consistency. After that control both Greenside and with short game.

Edmund Fernandes

Good consistent trajectory and distance and most important… feel!

Geoff Hamby

By far the most important thing for me is spin from 60 yards and in. After that is performance off the tee.

peter eller

I tried to order some but the cost to ship to Canada was more than the balls!
I am really excited about getting some balls designed for left handed golfers ;-))

Justin

9 years ago

Low spin off the tee, feel around the greens, sound off the putter face, and price. All of which Snell delivers on.

Chris Davis

Good greenside control, holds the green well on approaches, soft feel off the putter, and most importantly: I don’t need to mortgage my house to pay for a dozen of them!

A ball that doesn’t feel like I’m hitting rock. And for a reasonable price.

I am searching for the elusive ball that will magically find the hole on its own.

Aside from that I look for a soft feel off the driver and irons, good spin and control around the greens.

Frank Mandato

Soft feel and distance

Steven Hong

9 years ago

I look for consistency at an affordable price.

It doesn’t matter if it’s off the tee, on the green, around the green, from the fairway, from the rough, etc. I need the ball to perform the same way every time (assuming I hit it correctly) without dishing out $7 per ball.

mnfats95

The biggest attribute of a golf ball I look for is all around performance. Needs to be decent at every aspect of the game. I don’t want the best ball off of the tee, or around the green, or that feels the best, I want the best combination of all of them.

Mark Cruz

9 years ago

Distance and playability.

Vincent CELSI

9 years ago

I look for a good quality golf ball (soft touch and good feel) and all that for a fair price. Big companies upscale golf balls selling price is too expensive.. That’s just robbery..

Jim Ferguson

Ball control on short game..

Mark Ritter

9 years ago

I’m only a second year golfer. So I’m mostly looking for that feel of a marshmallow when you compress the ball correctly with the driver and it doesn’t feel like a rock.

I bought a sample pack and can’t figure out which ball I like better. The my tour or the get sum.

Pat Kast

I like the feel around the green and how it comes off the putter

To me the most important single characteristic is FEEL!……..

Terry Schott

When purchasing a golf ball I look for the combination of soft feel, ability to stop ball on green and good distance off driver. Getting ready to place order with Snell golf since 3 Up is out of business. Like the small companies that put out great products

Randy Ratcliff

Long off the driver and spin with the irons…great combination!

Tom Sweeney

I look for good feel, a consistent flight, decent stopping power around the green, durability, and value!

Sam

Anything that will help me be more consistent is appreciated. I think that means feedback/feel and some combination of spin characteristics I wouldn’t understand.

Charles

Jason C

For me it’s all about the feel around from 60 yards in.

Brian N

9 years ago

Consistency. I have to play a ball that responds consistently on contact. If I strike the ball the way I intend the ball should react as intended. Nothing more frustrating than a surprise balloon ball or when a ball doesn’t grab the green like it was supposed to.

Jack Sofie

1 – Feel off the putter – soft, smooth

2 – doesn’t spin like a top – I hate balloon animals

3- durability – not trying to play 72 holes, but if I “lower groove” one the ball shouldn’t show it

James Thomas

I look for consistency from my golf ball. Consistent play, consistent distance. Feel off the putter face is also important to me.

Dave Brunner

Feels as soft as a beautiful woman’s bosom.

Justin

Most important thing to me is that they pop out of the woods when I hit them there.

guy crawford

The most important factor I consider when selecting a golf ball is performance. Does it perform off of all my clubs. 2cnd is price. I’m not a tour player so the combination of the two is really what causes me to purchase a certain ball.

Mike McGrory

I look for something with a relatively low compression, that doesn’t deviate too much in the wind.

Justin C

The most important thing I look for is spin. Distance for me is not key to choice. Once off the tee, spin controls.

Low spin off the tee and boring ball flight along with soft as can be feel and stop drop and spin on greens. That’s what I look for in my golf ball

Ron Garland

There are three things I look for in a golf ball. In order, they are:

1. Proper Trajectory – I’m a +1 handicap but a low ball hitter, so I’m always looking for a ball that goes a bit higher. For example, the Pro V1 feels great and goes far enough, but the trajectory is too low. So I play the Pro V1x

2. Spin – If a ball doesn’t have enough backspin, you can’t do much with it on approach shots or around the green. So the second thing I look for is enough backspin to control the shot. The Pro V1 has the spin but as I said earlier, it flies too low.

3. Feel – Even if a ball flies the right trajectory for me and spins enough, if it feels like a rock it doesn’t make the cut. The Pro V1 has good feel and as I said above it has enough backspin, but it flies too low (starting to see a trend here?), so I compromise and play the Pro V1x because it has the perfect trajectory, has enough backspin to satisfy me, but feels too hard, especially on shots around the green.

The perfect ball would be one that has perfect trajectory, ideal backspin (especially on shots around the green) and perfect feel.

I already get your newsletter and really enjoy it.

Greg Drysdale

Trevor Arianna

The most important thing I look for in a golf ball is feel around the green. I need to feel the spin coming off the blade; while knowing the cover isn’t going to be torn up with one shot. Distance off the tee is important but you can’t shoot low without being able to manipulate your ball around the green.

Steven Walsh Sr.

9 years ago

Feel and distance. Snell has both.

Scott Romines

9 years ago

Control on irons and feel around the green

Greg Drysdale

9 years ago

The thing I look for most in a ball is predictability. If I hit my wedge 120 yards, that’s how far I expect to hit it everytime excepting wind conditions etc. Also if I want to work the ball I don’t want a self correcting flight, a draw will draw a fade will fade and not start to do either and them straighten up. Fairly simple – predictability is king!

Brendan K.

9 years ago

For me, I look for feel off the putter and wedges. If it doesn’t “feel” good to me off my short game clubs, I won’t play it.

Alan Grigsby

9 years ago

I look for distance and soft feel

Steven Walsh Sr.
