On 3/5/2021 at 11:34 AM, B.Boston said: I wouldn't say the ball test itself, but this forum 1000%. If I hadn't read about them on here I doubt I would have given them a second look if they even got a first look, which is a shame since they are excellent. Ditto. I haven't found a ball that performs better for me than the MTB-X, and I like the Optic Yellow color as it's easier for me to see in low-light situations. The Srixon Z-Star XV is close, and I still have a sleeve of those left that will be donated to the woods soon, I'm sure. I lucked out initially and snagged four dozen in 2019 on B/S/T here for a discount, but ordered my five dozen on Black Friday and hopefully should be set for this season.

Keeper905 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm thinking between a few balls this year. I might stick with the Bridgestone BRX again this year. I also tried the Vice Tour last year and found it quite decent for the price. I think I will also give the e12 contact a try this year.

Siamese Moose Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 My ball has been the Bridgestone Tour B X, but they stopped making it in yellow, which I strongly prefer, and I've finally run out of my yellow stock. I tried the MTB-X, but after 2 rounds I think it's the worst wind ball I've ever played. Since that's supposed to be the area of greatest improvement from the older version, I shudder to think how bad it used to be. For reasons unrelated to golf, I have a strong loyalty to Bridgestone, so I'm probably going to go with the Tour BRX.Sent from my SM-T580 using MyGolfSpy mobile app Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to comment

What are you going with this year? Sticking with the tried and true that you've used for years or thinking of something else? I've tried to play mostly Srixon but will admit to branching out and trying some others like the Maxfli; have found a lower price version I'm thrilled with yet. I'm frugal so I try not to go over 30 for a dozen, which cuts out a lot of the higher end balls. I think this year I'm going to try the MTB-X. Can pick up a dozen on Amazon for 33 now and free ship w/prime. Have you tried going to Golfdiscount? They have some great pricing on last year balls.

I began playing them just before the ball test, I had been playing Chrome Soft but they had been busted for being so many off center balls in a dozen. It was pretty close to the same time, and lots of positive feedback from folks here on Snell. Being as there are no golf stores close to me I ordered the MTB and MTB-X and tried each. I now play the MTB-X exclusively.
