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.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
