He and his wife are shipping orders so his employees don’t expose themselves. This is a company in Massachusetts. I am very pleased at his commitment to his employees and customers.

Plus it keeps his payroll costs down, while giving he and his wife something to do.  :whistle:

Maybe he’s still paying them. I mean if we’re going to make assumptions one way about it, might as well assume the other, too.

I may need to buy from him. Any recommendations on which ball? I use a Wilson Ultra. Can’t imagine that is helpful to my question. Reg flex shaft in all clubs, driver distance avg 225

I don't believe you will find a ball as cheap as your wilson from the, but all 3 of the options are good balls as far as I know. I play the MTB-Black, which I believe is the one that is similar to ProV1, the MTB-X is similar to ProV1X, and the Getsum is their budget ball. Coming from the Wilson, the Getsum is closest in price, and is Surlyn covered as opposed to urethane.

I imagine that many of them are.

You can’t make, or for that matter ship, golf balls from home though…   

I have a buddy who just got a box of balls delivered. I’ll have to let them know that Dean Snell shipped them himself!

Just received a test pack of the MTB and MTB-X.

Excited to try them out when the rain goes away.

Got to try the balls out today and I loved the mtb black. I didn’t do terrible with the mtbx, but I definitely preferred the regular mtb black. I usually play tp5 or prov1 and I was getting the same results off the driver as I do with those balls. I was also getting a lot of hop n stop shots into greens with the snell, which is what makes me love the prov1. I like the tp5 but it doesn’t stop quite as well. 
 

In conclusion, there’s no way I’d pay extra for a prov1 or tp5 over the mtb black and this is my new ball!

I was a little skeptical about trying the Snell because I really didn't have good results with Vice.  Bought 5 boxes and ended up giving 3 of them to my brother.  Not sure if it was the spin or what but I lost 20 yards of carry on my drives and my irons were about a 1/2 club shorter.

After learning more about Snell I had to give them a try and wasn't disappointed.  The Snell MTB Black are great balls and seem to fit my swing really well.  I really didn't notice much difference between them and the TP5 balls I was using.  On my launch monitor they launched a bit higher and had less than the Vice and TP5.

I finally got around to buying a dozen. Played the get sum today. Hard to give any feedback yet. It was raining all day and I have just begun on some swing changes. 
 

Will need a few rounds I would imagine. I will say they are like every ball I have ever played, they don’t float.

    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
    • At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.
