Seed SD-02 The Pro Tour - 4-piece Urethane Premium Golf Balls

Product Information

Dean worked for several well known golf brands all over the world. He started out with smaller, independent companies before working for larger, global brands. Getting behind the curtain and seeing how the big guys operate was a revelation. Testing on the course, both balls had similar ball flights, albeit the Pro V1x flew a touch higher. The only times I noticed a deviation in trajectory was when playing into a cross wind with the SD-01. While it didn’t necessarily lose distance, it struggled to penetrate the wind and resulted in me having to play with the wind, rather than hold a shot up against it. As we all know everyone's swing is different so robot testing will only off suggestions for a 'robotic swing'. Since we can't all swing it like Adam Scott, it's best to try several out – there will be a Seed for your game. I really didn’t like what I was seeing. Performance and innovation were stagnating, yet prices kept going up. Design was driven more by market share gains and everyday players were seen as sales targets. The marketing departments had taken over. I was in danger of becoming just another sales spruiker, toeing the company line at the expense of what was best for real golfers.”

What you can expect from Seed are products that perform extremely well, at a price that makes golf more fun for more players. The big brands don't like talking about it, but USGA and R&A equipment regulations mean the playing field has been levelled for all golf brands. We’ve said it a million times, but right now there couldn’t be a better time to commit to using the same ball every time you play. It gives consistency and similar results, which for most club golfers would be a decent step forward from using the different balls they find. DTC brands often offer discounts when you buy more, so if you can invest in five dozen for the year, it means you’ll get the best possible price, too. Can you tell the difference between the balls? Seed is on a mission to change the way golfers think about their equipment, how they buy it and how they play it. Premium tour grade golf balls were expensive, and the choice was often overwhelming and confusing. Which ball was best? It was hard to say. The guys had tired of all the “longest / straightest / best on tour” marketing hype from the big brands. And as one commented after a particularly rough day, 'losing expensive balls isn't fun'.It means giving regular golfers the option to play with high performing equipment for less money. It means giving golfers a better product, and a better way to buy. It also means no marketing hype, no crazy performance claims and no expensive celebrity endorsements.

Seed was formed because we wanted to make people as passionate about the game of golf as we are. We also wanted to create golf gear that delivered great performance for golfers like us, and left enough cash to shout your mates at the bar after a round That's a big claim, but we felt we had the ability to develop products that performed just as well as the big boys. And by using a modern method of sale & delivery, we could deliver those products directly to you for less. My average carry number on the day with the Pro V1x was 292 yards with 2403rpm and an average ball speed of 168mph. If I'm honest, because of how much the SD-01 spun off the wedges, I was not expecting this to be a close fought battle, yet I was pleasantly surprised to find out this was not the case. Yes the ball speeds were lower than the Titleist but so was the spin, which helped the Seed to a tasty 289 yards of carry. This may well be down to a new larger high-energy transfer core in the SD-01, which has been designed to increase launch and speed throughout the bag.The SD-X1 Pro X1 is optimised for a lower, tour-preferred flight and maximum driver distance. Players who choose it are likely to low handicap or stronger swingers looking for maximum distance off the tee.
