revkev 25,667 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So is it ethical for someone who has tried and liked the MTB to sign up for this challenge? I have yet to test the MTB vs. the new B330 RX. I still have the full dozen that I got from Barbajo in March. In fact I haven't even cracked it because I had 2 dozen of last year's at that time and I still have a dozen plus of those left. This is a serious question. I was going to order some MTB when I opened that box. At this pace I'll need new golf balls around Christmas. 4 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 10.5 Aldila Ascent Red R flex Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Wilson D7 forged 5-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex Edison Wedges 54 and 59 KBS Tour Graphite 80's EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Still on that elusive hunt for a 3 wood that I'm able to hit - I don't know why, I crush the 5 wood and it's really a 4 wood anyway.

Rev - I've only golfed with you once but you lose golf balls at the same rate at which I lose weight. I would think a couple dozen would last you the rest of the decade!!! 6 Quote What's in the bag: Driver: TSi3 FW Wood: PXG Gen4 2-wood Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: Staff Model Utilities 18, 21, 24* Irons:; PXG 0211; Pro Combo; FTX Combo;'99 Apex Plus; '99 Apex blades; 2010 VIP irons; VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTZ ZipCore: Riviera 52-56-60 Putter: Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; Buckingham; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B X; Z-STAR XV; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaidJacket 7,737 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I've played them, liked them, and have some. I'd probably buy more sometime. I also signed up. But I won't get picked because I don't want to document my usage of them. But I'd play them if Dean wants to send me doz.

jlukes 16,688 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Beat out my beloved Srixon Zstar XVs. The short game performance and feel + the price was what did it for me. The long game was very similar. Looking forward to hearing others put them against their current gamer. 1 Quote G410 LST 9* Tour AD DI 6X G425 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 - Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW OBAN CT 115X(-) Vokey SM7 50F - 54S - 60D PLD Milled Anser 2 ProV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmikecpa 13,720 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I would give it a go against the ProV1x but I think I am at about the same fail rate as Rookie is with drivers when it comes to new golf balls.

jlukes 16,688 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The Snell MTB is definitely closer to the Prov1 than the prov1x (3 piece and similar compression). I moved from a ball similar to the prov1x (ZStarXV) and love the performance. Definitely feels better on those cold days, too Quote G410 LST 9* Tour AD DI 6X G425 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 - Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW OBAN CT 115X(-) Vokey SM7 50F - 54S - 60D PLD Milled Anser 2 ProV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved from a ball similar to the prov1x (ZStarXV) and love the performance. Definitely feels better on those cold days, too I disagree. I used to game the prov1x and the MTB performs the same or better around the greens for me and on similar strikes with the driver goes at least 20 yards further. No bs. I am able to reach par 5's in two now where I couldn't before with my prov1x. If any of you sign up for this and don't like them, I will gladly (buy) take them off your hands.
