Rickp Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I posted this also on How did you play. Played this morning with my neighbor as a twosome and played 2 balls, ProV1 & MTB RED. Results in Stage 2 which hope to get together soon.

Rickp Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Red seems to be just fine as far as durability goes. However, in my play yesterday I got a weird unremovable mark on my ball. I am not sure what it was from as I way killing the fairways and not taking any short iron full swings that can sometimes cause these type of rashes. I'll post an image later.Looking forward to seeing the mark. I've had no marks or discoloration at all.

kingcscott Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It is very small and grass stained. The stain doesn't easy come off at all. It surprised me as I was only hitting grass. No rocks, paths or trees. It was a brand new ball when I started the day. Only played seven holes also. I saw this after the third or fourth hole. I suppose it is probably a club mark or something Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungkory Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I tried the MTB Red this past weekend and it doesn't feel any more "firm" than the black to me, but I only have one round with each so far. It does seem to spin more off of mid irons and wedges though. Fun video below, I didn't expect this to be on the green at all, but it was pin high and about 12 feet away.
