Popular Post GolfSpy Barbajo 9,285 Posted March 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2018 (10) TESTERS WANTED SNELL MTB RED & MTB BLACK GOLF BALLS Yep gang, it's time to kick off the new year for MyGolfSpy Community Forum Member Testing. We have a boffo year planned for you, and we want to kick it off with one I know you'll like... We all know the story of Dean Snell, the original MTB and Dean's roll in shaking up the golf ball industry with a Tour-level ball at direct-to-consumer pricing. Well, it's been 3 years since the MTB first hit the streets, and Dean felt it was time for an upgrade. A double upgrade, to be precise. 10 TESTERS WANTED Snell's new MTB RED and MTB BLACK are hitting the streets this week, and we want you guys to help us test and review them. Both balls share DNA with the original MTB, with some differences that will matter to the avid golfer. The MTB BLACK is a softer feeling 3-piece ball with a urethane cover and features lower spin off the tee and with long irons, but similar performance to the original MTB around the greens. The MTB RED, on the other hand, is a firmer feeling 4-piece ball that spins more for the player that wants it, both off the tee and around the greens. HOW TO APPLY: We take Member Testing VERY seriously here at MyGolfSpy, and we ask that you put some time, effort and thought into your reviews. You MUST apply in this thread only. Step 1: Snell has set up a webpage exclusively for MGS Test applicants to check out both balls and help you figure out which one might be best for you. CLICK HERE to visit the site, and make sure to watch Dean's video! Step 2: In this thread, tell us the following: - Your first name and home state/province - Your current handicap - Your current golf ball - Do you feel you're a "high spin" or a "low spin" player We'll be selecting 5 of you to test the MTB RED and 5 to test the MTB BLACK, so make sure you check out the video and apply for the ball you think might best fit your game. Check back here next week, and we'll let you know who the lucky testers are. ​Thanks for being a part of MyGolfSpy, and we promise you are going to love what we have in store for you this year. 20 What's in the bag: Driver: Sub 70 639D - 9.5; Launcher HB Turbo; ST 190 FW Wood: Tour Edge EXS 220 - 15*; ST 180 14* Hybrids: PXG 0311 22 Utility Irons: Staff Model Utilities 18, 21, 24*; Lynx VT Stinger - 16* Irons:; D7 Forged; PTx Pro, VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Progressives (circa 1993) Wedges: CBX -2, Riviera 52-56-60; Staff Model Putter: Willamette, BB8, Baby Ben Ball: Tour B X (2020); Z-STAR XV Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to post Share on other sites

GolfJunkie302 2,232 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Can't believe it's testing season again! I feel that my opinion might be more valuable elsewhere, so I'll pass on this one and leave it for others. Looking forward to other potential opportunities, though. Good luck to everyone else!

MaxEntropy 6,653 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Even though the weather around here can be fairly dicey until April, I'll throw my hat in... Blake from Ohio Current handicap is 14.5 Current ball: for the last couple years Bridgestone TreoSoft and Taylormade Pentaspeed. For this year, I have Titleist NXT Tour S and Callaway Supersoft waiting to get launched into the woods. I am a low spin player, so it appears MTB Red may be best for me. Good luck to all!

Also auditions for the 14th spot in the bag. Current possibilities are a Ping 26 degree hybrid - duplicates the 9 wood or 5 iron but would be used almost exclusively for chipping or Tour Exotics 3 wood simply because you can carry 14 clubs and I might occasionally hit it in certain unusual wind conditions once every four or five rounds.

downlowkey 3,899 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I don't like breaking rules to make a point but wanted to add a friendly reminder that TPTB have clearly stated the only post a Spy should be adding to “testers wanted†threads is an application _or_ congratulatory missive (after testers have been selected). Posting simply to state you are not applying for a test adds unnecessary clutter for the staff to sift through and can hurt your chances of being selected for future tests.
