What happens when you get golf ball experts from competing manufactures in the same room?
Plenty of spirited conversation.
Dean Snell (Snell Golf), Adam Rehberg (Bridgestone), and Alan Hocknell (Callaway) sat down (virtually) with MyGolfSpy staff to discuss a variety of pertinent golf ball topics.
No company makes a perfect golf ball 100% of the time. But, should golfers get a refund for balls with known defects?

4 months agoI love the accountability of these tests. Can we cut it open before we hit it? Obviously not but if manufacturers are being called to account for their quality, inevitably the quality produced will be higher. End result, consumer gets a better ball. Callaway’s investment of 50 million into their ball manufacturing process is testimony to this fact.
Keep up the great reporting MGS!

4 months agoHow exactly am I going to know if a ball is “off.”? While I think it’s great all this research has been done regarding the balls, there is still no quantifiable way to measure this would affect my shot. 1 yard difference? 10 yards difference? And I can only imagine folkss contacting the golf ball makers & saying since their shot was bad, it must be a bad ball so I want a refund. This would get comical.

Golf balls can fly 20+ yards offline, when hit by a robot, when out of balance.
