Balls

I’ll te’ll ya what ball I bought since this thread started & surprised me (in a good way) Mizuno RB Max 3 piece 19.99 , very pleased with them and at that price actually cheaper than chips (fact checked (y))

Chips must be really expensive in Mauritius. You'll be pleased to know they are still fairly cheap in the UK.
 
Interestingly, I was just idly around in ChatGPT last night and asked it which golf balls are most similar to the ProV1 but cost a lot less. The number one answer it came back with was the Seed SD-01. Was very interesting and I'd be giving that a go if I didn't already have three boxes of Triads for this year, ha. I'll be keeping the Seed in mind for next year though I think.

Of course, your SD-02 is meant to be closer to the ProV1x. They also have an SD-X1, no idea what that's supposed to be like.
Well, Guy from Rick's channel has just reviewed the SD-01 in a direct comparison against the ProV1.


Spoiler alert - it does very, very well. I was already quite likely to try this ball when my Triads run out, and now I'm 100% convinced.

They also have a ball fitting quiz on their website which I didn't realise before. I filled it in and SD-01 was the recommendation as well.

I've just ordered some to try out. shame they're sold out on Amazon so i could bypass the delivery fee but got 10% off first order

I'm tempted but really trying not to stockpile balls as I have in the past. I'll wait until I run out of my others. By which time they'll be sold out or twice the price I'm sure.

But the balls will have improved by then and be straighter and longer (and have better alignment aids) :)

Give them a go I genuinely believe you won’t be disappointed. Since the Mrs bought that Craig Pack for Paddy’s day, I’ve not used any but the Seed balls. Admittedly I’m using the SD-02, 4 piece so bit firmer than the SD-01. But I genuinely cannot fault it at all, even on the firm hard greens we have at the moment due to the weather they stop so well.

I love the PXG Xtreme Tour X and the TP5X balls, but these SD-02 are every bit as good and cheaper.

The cheaper way to get them is to order them through the subscription service, you’ll get them for £29.99 a dozen and then with the 10% offers they have with postage it’s still cheaper than buying the dozen normally.

Beauty is you also can cancel the subscription at any time so you’re not tied in. Take advantage of the price and cancel subscription once the order is shipped. Rinse and repeat when needed 👍
 
I just wanted to test them. Really. 🤷🏽
But then - at the very end of the ordering procedure (they know why) - they asked EUR 24,99 (!!!) for shipping ! 😱
That would have been almost more than for the balls !That‘s when I decided that they weren‘t worth it. 😤
Thank you, Brexit !🤬

I'm sure we told you this already but as you're in Germany (right?) you might as well go for Vice balls who are also based in Germany.
 
Anyone playing with the latest Srixon AD333? It's the only ball I've used for years now and never had any issue but the latest box are like rocks. Sound awful of the club face and just feel solid. They remind me of the 48 pack of Slazengers I used to buy from Sports Direct for about £14 when I first started playing, although in fairness, I don't recall the Slazengers ever being this bad.

I really hope this was a one off dodgy box and not the normal standard otherwise I need to find a new ball to use.
 
I got two boxes on sale, and shared them with a playing buddy. And we are rapidly losing them all over the course. Can't be the ball really, but I've never lost this many balls so quickly!!

I use the SD01. No complaints!

Do they always offer 10% like? Or just now and then
 
1st round with Seed SD-01 as thought I’d try it out with all the love here. Spent the day round and off the back edges of greens and (sadly) banged it straight into the bunker on the 18th fairway when expected to come up short hitting into a strong wind.

So, so far my finding is that it has noticeably better distance than comparable (2nd price tier) balls, even for non-elite (very much so 🤣) distance player.

That's all I needed to hear, I'll buy mine right now. 😄
