DMDoran Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I love Snell golf balls! Great price on a great ball. I usually play the MTB-X, but actually have a stockpile of the neon yellow Get Sum balls for sunrise morning rounds. Huge fan. Here’s my question for other Snell users: Do you find that the balls collect mud/clumps on them more than other balls? Maybe just a phase I’m going through, but it seems to me that I get more mud balls with my Snells than I do other balls. I’m wondering if there is a cover difference that is more susceptible. Or maybe I’m just imagining things. Anybody else have similar experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtActual Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I would say that urethane covers seem to hold mud more than a surlyn cover does, in my experience. Quote Tiger is the GOAT, change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMDoran Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I should have thought of this sooner, but an alternative, and better, theory is that the problem is not the ball, but a change I had made on my driver. I recently went to 10 degree draw on my Cobra Speedking and still had the weights set for high spin. I had noticed that my ball was descending pretty sharply—sometimes backing up or bouncing sideways. Not being too bright, I was just thinking it was due to the recent rain and didn’t think about shifting the weights. Well, not surprisingly, once I shifted the weights to low spin and flattened out the descent of my drives, the ball is staying clean (and getting some great run out). Glad I don’t do this for a living or I’d be broke by the time I figured stuff out! HardcoreLooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
