Snell MTB-X joins MTB golf ball lineup; all MTB balls now available in Optic Yellow

Snell-MTB-X

Snell Golf has unveiled its latest model of golf ball – the MTB-X, with the company additionally now offering all MTB golf ball models in Optic Yellow.

The Snell MTB-X is the successor to the company’s MTB Red ball, and its two new models consists of the MTB Black and MTB-X. The MTB Black is designed for players who seek a softer feel, with the ball aiming to provide players with a medium level of iron spin. The MTB-X, on the other hand, looks to offer players both a firmer feel and higher iron spin. Both of the new models are designed for low driver spin to provide players with maximum distance off the tee.

The new addition from Snell is offered in a one dozen “MTB Test Pack,” featuring two sleeves of each MTB model and a fitting guide to help players choose which ball works best for their game.

Speaking on the new addition, Dean Snell, owner and CEO of Snell stated

“In 2018, customer feedback of our MTB RED model led us to a new design target. We felt we could provide high spin for approach shots while lowering driver spin and maximizing distance off the tee. The new MTB-X model has accomplished both of those goals and has added the elite feel & durability of a cast urethane cover.

“Players who enjoyed the MTB RED model will find MTB-X to be very long, extremely durable, and offer improved aerodynamics for strong performance in windy conditions.”

The company are now also providing every MTB model in Optic Yellow.

The MTB-X is available to pre-order now from SnellGolf.com, with shipments scheduled for early April. Pricing for the MTB models starts at $32.99 for a dozen, with the price being reduced to $27.99/dz should you order five dozen.

    Costco’s balls are just as good as anything out there, and under $12 per dozen…

    The name, Smelly Balls seems odd, doesn’t it?

    I would like to know which ball will launch higher off of the driver?

    So people are going to bitch about the price of a dozen golf balls delivered to your front door going up by a buck? $31.99 vs $32.99 Wow. If that’s the case, I’m sorry about your plight and maybe you can find some affordable golf balls for your budget.

    The price has gone up, but the 5-pack deal is really good for a tour-level ball. They also offer 2-day shipping free. With tax, a pack of 5 dozen costs $147 (assuming 5% sales tax; YMMV). If you purchase the same number of ProV1s with the same sales tax it would come to $252.

    Personally, I’m not particularly price-sensitive; I want the ball that fits me. But this is significant…and for a very good ball.

    I preferred the MTB Black over the Red, so I’m looking forward to gaming the MTB-X to see if I like the firmer feel with the greater iron spin. Because I hit single-length irons, the trajectories are low for the 4-7 irons; extra spin might help.

    Looks like Snell is going the same way the others are. So much for the $25 bucks a dozen. Good ball, probably worth $35, just sad to see they didnt hold the line.

      $140 for 5 doz = $28/doz

      Kim, they start at $32 and get down to $27 as you buy a few dozen, plus FREE 2 day shipping. For cast urethane golf balls that perform well that’s a great deal.

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored.  One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs.  They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done.  This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did.  But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest.  They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world.  I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
