I played a full round yesterday with the Red and felt like I lost a good amount of distance on a couple of approach shots due to the wind. I'll tell you that it's not as good as your TP5x, from my testing. I put the TP5x in play today and it is much more stable in crosswinds, and doesn't seem to lose as much when it's in your face. That said, the TP5x is longer in general from my 6i through driver.

yungkory Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 That's what I'm finding as well I'm actually starting to like the TP5x more than the Tour B XS The MTB Red is a great ball though. I'm going to order more once my supply of balls runs out. I still have a lot of balls stockpiled over the last 12 months since I started playing again. Once the supply has been thinned out, I'll probably make the #5witch to the TP5x and use the MTB Red for my after work practice rounds at the munis.

MaxEntropy Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Thanks for the bump! I am nearly done with my stage 2, at least with the information I currently have. I feel like I need more but have been out of town for work and won't be back until the 11th. I have a tee time on the 12th. I feel like another 18 will go a long ways to firm up some conclusions. If this is too much time, I can post what I have soon and amend later, but I assume everyone here would prefer more/better information rather than getting to press sooner.

null Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Loved the MTB Red just about everywhere, but once the wind started blowing it became nearly ungameable for me. The difference in the wind between the TP5x and the Snell MTB Red is staggering. Heck, I think the original MTB performed better in the wind than the MTB Red. Almost interested in trying the MTB black but instead I just ordered 3 dozen more tp5x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to shrug off bark marks too, which is a bonus for me! Interesting, because I felt the OG MTB was really hard feeling. Granted, I'm a slower swinger that doesn't do a good job compressing harder balls, so take that into consideration. The more I read about the experiences here, the more I think if I grab any Snell this year, it'll be the Blacks.
