It's also interesting that I get quizzical looks when I tell my fellow golfers I'm playing Snell. Of course, many of them are playing found balls and haven't a clue what shaft they have in any of their clubs. Same here. Most of my regular golf buds (about 15) can't understand why I BUY and play Snell golf balls almost exclusively. ALL of them play found balls, or lesser Titleist models mostly (Velocity et al, not ProV1's). The only upside, two of my golf buds have given me bags of Snell's they've found since they all know I prefer them... I don't think there's any significant difference in performance between an MTB and a ProV1, but MGS and others report Titleist is more consistent quality. Fortunately the variation in my swing is far greater than the variation in either ball... 4 Quote Callaway Rogue 10.5° & 3W Mizuno CLK 3H 19°, JPX900 Forged 4-GW, S18 56.10, S18 60.06 Evnroll ER5B (replaced ER2) Snell MTB-Black Link to post Share on other sites
CGuff 0 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Has anyone else noticed a difference in the MTB-X white versus optic yellow? I have been playing them side by side along with the MTB Black in both colors as well. Seems to me the MTB-X in white is a bit firmer off all clubs and may fly a couple yards longer off the driver versus the MTB-X in yellow. Seems to me the MTB-X in yellow plays more closely to the MTB Black, just an overall softer feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you look back in the comments here someone was saying that they are seeing more ball speed with the yellow over the white, but that contradicts what you are seeing.

Yes I noticed that, my observations on distance are minimal at best. The biggest difference I noticed was in regard to feel. Especially off a putter without an insert, they fell/sound like 2 totally different balls. Not knocking either one as they both perform. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scooterhd2 504 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Cant comment on the Snell MTB-X, because I have only played the yellow. But with Srixon XV's I've always found the yellow to be a touch longer and definitely more durable. 1 Quote 2020 TESTER Ben Hogan UiHi 18* Utility Iron Driver: G410 Plus 9*, Oban Gold Hybrids: Super XTD 17* Hybrid Fubuki AX, , Apex 20* AD-DI 85S, Apex 23* Oban Purple Irons: Z585 5-6, Z785 7-PW, Modus 120s Wedges: RTX4 50, Modus 120x, , Hi Toe 56 & 60, Modus 120x Putter: ER3 @ 33" Link to post Share on other sites

ballplayer002003 1,227 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 So I just ordered a box of the MTX-B for my trip to Pinehurst next month. I have been playing the Srixon Z Star XV this year and I am not happy with the cover/durability of this ball. Needless to say, I will not be playing Srixon's once my stash is gone. So it's either back to Bridgestones (which I loved) or the Snell's. I have not hit them before, but if they work out as well as everyone is saying, then it just may be them!!! 4 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Sub Zero Hzdrs Smoke x flex 70g 3 Wood: 917 w/ Diamana Whiteboard stiff 5 Wood : Epic Flash 18* Hzdrs Smoke stiff 4 Hybrid: Apex w/Kuro Kage stiff Irons: 5-7 Apex forged 19 w/ Modus 120 X 9-A Apex Pro 19 w/ Modus 120 X Wedges: MD5 52&56 Jaws Dynamic Gold wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Del Mar 34" Link to post Share on other sites
ballplayer002003 1,227 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I ordered a dozen of the Snell MTX-B and they came yesterday. I quickly opened the box to find a hand signed packing slip. Now, I know this may not seem like a big deal to some, but I have to say that I LOVED this little touch by Snell. This gesture only takes seconds to do on their end, but for me, it's the little things. This is how you build brand loyalty. In my previous life, I owned a small sporting goods store and I tried very hard to form relationships with my customers, this is what I believed brought customers back time and time again. Snell is doing this for me as we speak and I have not even hit their ball yet. Man, I hope I like it. I'm impressed so far Snell!!! 6 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Sub Zero Hzdrs Smoke x flex 70g 3 Wood: 917 w/ Diamana Whiteboard stiff 5 Wood : Epic Flash 18* Hzdrs Smoke stiff 4 Hybrid: Apex w/Kuro Kage stiff Irons: 5-7 Apex forged 19 w/ Modus 120 X 9-A Apex Pro 19 w/ Modus 120 X Wedges: MD5 52&56 Jaws Dynamic Gold wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Del Mar 34" Link to post Share on other sites
TR1PTIK 2,876 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Figured I'd just post here instead of creating a thread for it, but I just received my Snell MTB Test Pack. I've gamed the MTB-Black before and thought it performed well, but didn't appreciate the feel. With all the Ball Lab reports coming out, I've been more intrigued with another experiment and wanted to check out the MTB-X as well. I rolled a few putts and had a small (read short in distance) chipping session in my living room. While there are perceivable differences in feel, I don't think either is offensive by any means. Ready to get out on the course and give them a proper test next to my current gamer! 2 Quote Driver: Mizuno ST190 9.5* Aldila RIP Alpha 60 S Fairway Wood: Mizuno ST190 15* Fujikura Atmos Blue 6S Hyrbrid: Mizuno CLK 19* Fujikura Speeder EVO HB Irons: Bridgestone J40 CB (4-PW) Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Wedges: Bridgestone Tour B XW-1 50*, 54*, & 58* Nippon Modus 3 105 Putter: Cleveland Huntington Beach SOFT Premier 4 34" Ball: Snell MTB-X Bag: 2017 Titleist Players 5 Stand Bag Link to post Share on other sites
TR1PTIK 2,876 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 First round with the Snell MTB Test Pack. Rotated between these and my current gamer every three holes. Standout performer of the day was MTB-X by a mile as I played 6 holes at even par with it - birdie, par, par, bogey, par, par. I really liked the flight I was getting with that ball in particular and also seemed to be able to control it quite well. Twice, I had to flight the ball due to some tree trouble and had absolutely zero issues hitting the trajectory and shape I wanted. It's definitely a firmer ball, but not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Curious to see how the next few rounds go as I continue to test. I'd like to go back to the course I played today and switch up the rotation as I do feel the MTB-X may have had an unfair advantage. Although looking at the handicap for each hole would indicate that the six holes I played MTB-X were quite a bit more difficult compared to the other balls... 5 Quote Driver: Mizuno ST190 9.5* Aldila RIP Alpha 60 S Fairway Wood: Mizuno ST190 15* Fujikura Atmos Blue 6S Hyrbrid: Mizuno CLK 19* Fujikura Speeder EVO HB Irons: Bridgestone J40 CB (4-PW) Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Wedges: Bridgestone Tour B XW-1 50*, 54*, & 58* Nippon Modus 3 105 Putter: Cleveland Huntington Beach SOFT Premier 4 34" Ball: Snell MTB-X Bag: 2017 Titleist Players 5 Stand Bag Link to post Share on other sites
