I've tried a number of DTC (direct-to-consumer) balls - Oncore, Snell, Vice, Cut, etc. and in my opinion, the best performing ball is the Snell MTB Black. From tee to green, it just checks all the boxes. What's your experience and favorite?

I've found Vice to be good when I used DTC balls. However, Snell just seems to be the top dog in DTC golf ball arena in regards to quality and performance. I would put them up against ANY top tour ball on the market.

I have to try Snell again but I remember them being very good, I just don't play them cause they haven't been in stock in Canada for months, they come in and gone in days. But a lot of other DTC like Vice and OnCore are solid options, Kirkland for the price is solid as well.

Justsomeguy

The mtb-x is just a great ball. That being said, the vice pro doesn't get the love it deserves.

Snell. I switch between the MTB-X and Chrome Soft X LS. If I remember correctly, Dean used to work for TM and Titleist at one point in R&D.

teetogreen11

Average golfer and I never buy balls in-store. I've cycled through a few online DTC brands. Curious what the opinion of the community is. Aside from the big companies out there, I've tried: Vice, Oncore, and Snell. Heard of, but haven't tried: Cut, Quantrix, Sugar, Penfold, or Seed.

phizzy30

Snell MTB-X for me. Very long off the tee with enough spin around the greens. Don't care much for feel but it's not as soft as the AVX which I put in play as well. It really depends on course conditions which ball I play. 115-118 mph ss and 175 ball speed here.
