 Well, it's okay. Thank you for doing the average golfer. I'm down here for golf Chester We're gonna be testing what I consider to be one of the best value versus performance golf balls that there is on the mark in the Marketplace right now, and we're gonna pitch it up against Arguably what is recognized as the best golf ball in the marketplace right now, and that's the tightest probe you want But it's not me. It's gonna be testing it. It's team average. It's four golfers four different handicaps four different swing speeds We're gonna test them first of all dry ball days ahead-to-head pitching wedge seven-iron driver They're gonna take them out there on the course gonna give them balls out there for a week Test them in real conditions, and then they're gonna give you that overall summary Some details about the mystery golf ball, but it's a four-piece golf ball. It's got urethane cover. It's aimed at low spinning off the driver and Great for the short game in terms of providing that extra bit of spin when it's needed the best of both worlds Which is again very much similar to the tail you'd be expecting from the pro v1 We've already collected dry ball data last week, and let me tell you before we go any further There are a few surprises. That's certainly some eye-opener so don't go anywhere. Let's start there one by one Let's look at the dry ball data and see what impact this golf ball had on Performance compared to the pro v1 I was impressed with the consistency of the seed ball in all of the results in comparison to the pro v1 Which I was using to test against it was With my 52 degree wedge I was aiming for a hundred yard shot in relation to all the Pro v1 was slightly under the seed ball was slightly longer, but both in the ballpark The seven-iron again it was consistent in the sense It was a little bit longer than the pro v1 and that was a pattern I found Again with the driver In terms of the dry ball data, it was a very consistent performing ball Which is roughly in the same ballpark as the pro v1 I think the overriding thought I got from dry ball data was how similar the products were I couldn't really differentiate them feel was very much the same perhaps even a bit softer with the seed ball But you know when I actually saw it at the end I thought well, this is a good club is performing Well any club really with the ball and it's performing well just as well as it would be the pro v1 Was you surprised at all? Yes, yeah, I didn't think it would I thought one of these players I suppose like a lot of them they feel guilty if they're not using a tight list Yeah, and you put something else out and you're prejudiced against it. You think this is going to perform as well I'm not gonna like this and the first bad shot you hit you think oh back in the bag tight This comes out again. I've done that a few times. I've gone to Strix on or something like that This ball I wouldn't so when I look through the numbers on both the pro v and the seed they're very very similar There's not a lot in it wedge couple of hundred revs Seven iron again another couple of hundred revs and the same with the driver and splitting hairs really about strike But they both give really good spin numbers. I'd be really happy with any of them if I was hitting them out on the course dry ball data was quite not what I expected the information that came back from Trackman sort of Showed them to the pro v1 to be very similar to the seed to and That was quite unexpected really I expected the pro v1 to be if anything even only slightly better some way better because of well, you you're sort of the price of them you're Encouraged to think that it's a premium ball and therefore you'll get the best best possible Results from it, but that wasn't necessarily the case. Okay, so part one of the test complete a few surprises We've got the opinions of team average, but we all know dry ball data. It's a confined area. It's is it is it real? No, it's not so what we needed to do was face two of this test was to take the golf ball out on the golf course in a real environment and see how it performs in each of the different areas and then it's over to team average to give their Overall summary and what they think of this golf ball when they've put it to the test in a real situation Thought it was not noticeable and I made a point of switching the balls when I played earlier this week between hole after hole I Didn't notice any difference between the seed and the pro v1 in terms of performance So the point where I was having to check the ball at the end of the hole to just make sure which one I've been using on that particular Section, I don't catch the ball Consistently sweetly as often as I would like and certainly didn't that day though Saturday. I had a better day I Found when I was catching the ball sweetly. It was a sweet strike whichever ball I was using and in that sense There was no distinction between them where I did feel Very good with the seed ball was noticeably on putting it felt that it was coming off the putter face very Well, I like the sound of it. I like the little alignment line it has on it and which I have to put on my own pro v1 So yeah around the green I felt I liked it probably more so than the previous. I think pricing seed have got it, right? where seed need to to progress is that most golfers are Habitual players, so I don't buy Brucks of pro v1s at 40 grid I'll wait till titles to have a promotion and then I'll buy the four for the price of three buy them from my club Which gives me an additional discount opportunity or I'll buy pro v1s, which are not brand new but still barely Noticable as far as I'm concerned at 27 pound And I think seed have the opportunity to get into a market They've now got to be really clever about how they change the habits of golfers to get into I like the pricing Their mail order you then stuck with the postage costs I think it's around about five pounds for postage unless of course you buy greater quantities, which might give you a better scheme I think on the basis that Seed want a subscription system That could work But they need to reward loyalty and essentially get it to the point where they have Seed balls throughout your bag because most golfers don't Exclusively play with a pro v1. They'll have other balls that they play with but seed is a price point where you could Actually have that throughout your bag without exception Well, I've played twice with these now one truncated round because of the rain But it was very evident to me though went out there that I wasn't losing any distance now for someone my age senior golfer I know exactly what I hit and I wasn't losing any perceptible distance at all feel was very very good And the accuracy was just the same really I was just again Pleasantly surprised how similar it was to performance of my premium and much more expensive ball Well, I'm sorry to be boring about this But I thought it was very very similar around the green and what struck me most of all and really impressed me was the Softness of the putter face hold a lot of good parts. I felt confident behind the ball It rolled well, but it felt beautiful the face and it felt like I was gonna hold them some of the chipping really nice and soft That's what I thought I didn't notice anything any different. I'm not the best chipper in the world So I'm probably not the best judge, but I have to say it was certainly no worse I would happily put it in the bag on that basis. I was very impressed My overall summer of the ball is it's a very very good ball for half the price of the famous premium product tight list I think the issues are not about the goal for actually acquiring the ball even though it's online That isn't a problem to anybody. What I think it is it says market breakthrough You know, how do you mark your boys? How you might be tight list is that gonna apply to seed? Is it going to catch on in that way? Well, I think it's just about getting the product out there if they can either find a way of getting it into the pros Into the retailers, you know get a little bit wider than that I think if people give them a sleeve of the balls, you know, and they'll try them for themselves I think they'll be very impressed people are lucky to save money because golf products are going up all the time All the clubs the drivers the irons and everything else at last here's a very very good product coming in at half the price Which will give most of us the average golfers everything we need and be very satisfied with so I think it's just a question of them breaking through in the market I think you get them in the hands of the average golfer They'll want to buy them click of the internet and they'll be well worth money well worth spent So using the ball out on the course I pretty much compared it with a tailor-made tp5 So I'd hit one shot than the other And on a couple of occasions there was a yard or two in it. The seed was longer a couple of times I'd actually say on a full shot with a driver you get a better sound out of the out of the seed ball But like I say the distances were very very comparable so again happy with both so again I compared against the tp5 and From full shots in with a wedge Distances were very similar maybe a little bit further with the seed But again, they stopped really quickly like I'd expect them to not a lot of run out with either of them Then I came in closer done little short chips And I would say the seed ball sounded a little firmer off the face However, they still expected at the deformed how I'd expect them to be still stopped relatively quickly They ran out to a very sort of similar distance So no issues with either ball with putter Again putter. I would say the seed sounded a little firmer, but really nice roll Went roughly the kind of distance had expected to compare it with the tp5 And even though there's a slight difference in sound the performance of the ball was very very similar So the price comparison on them they're pretty much half of the price if you're buying them online And the performance out of them. I would say they're very very similar so You know if you want to buy a trusted brand that you know the name of Tell your mates that you're playing a Probe you want them fair enough But if you want to play a ball that performs equally as well and it's half price Then I'd have no issues buying that's all and nowadays the amount of things that people buy online And I don't really see a problem with buying golf balls and things online. I think it shows good value for money As far as on the cause goes It felt no different to to any other ball. I compared it With the Probe V1X more than with the Probe V1 It would the feedback from the ball was very similar if not slightly better from the seed It was slightly softer Probe V1X felt a little bit firmer on the face Whereas that the seed felt nice and soft and compressing against the face as you hit it especially with the irons Driver and woods to me that they're a bit like chocolate You could know you know, there are different brands, but you can't necessarily taste the difference and so it was with these The control on the short game was was excellent for the seed It was as you'd expected for a Probe V1X But having said that There was very little to be gained by paying the extra money for for the Probe V1 in my opinion The seed was as good as it when it took it on to the putting green The roll was true depending on the putting green But by and large the results that I got were excellent Overall, it's a ball. I would put in my bag. I would game this one There it's value for money. I would normally use the title as ball and I would use it to a soft This felt very similar to a tour soft. It was nice and soft around the greens, but it got good Low spin off the tee the price point would be similar to the To the tour soft rather than the Probe V1 and Probe V1X and therefore it represents better value for money The the point at the moment that they distribute them from Ireland by post Would be an issue for me because if I lose ammo then I want to replace it fairly handily and not necessarily be held up by postal delays But I suppose if I organize myself, I could get things Sorted so that I had enough balls in my bag As far as the future is concerned. I would not hesitate to put this in the bag Right, okay, so it's over to me to summarize But I think in a way the reason I stayed out the video is because as you know seeds support the channel So I didn't want anything sort of too biased So in many ways, I'll let you draw your own conclusions The idea behind this was in October of last year. I first tried out a seed golf ball I was really surprised and shocked by its performance and have been waiting to do this video for quite some time where we get some for independent voices and Let them try them out and like I said from dry ball data through to out there on the course It seems to me from what I've watched a very very positive response So I'll leave it at that and like I said, I've looked through the numbers Maybe pause a few of those clips and just analyze some of that data if you're interested in that It's very very close indeed. There's very little to separate the golf balls At all and I think it just shows that there's plenty of product out there if you have a bit of a route round There's some affordable product that performs really really well I think the seed golf ball fits into that category I'm gonna put the link down below if you are interested in purchasing these things online Then I'll put a link through to seed on how you can do that as ever Thank you for watching And I'll see you very very soon and oh I comment subscribe like do all them things as well. Yeah, I'm off
