The "Fastest LONGEST" Golf Ball That Will KILL THE PRO V1, CHROME TOUR AND TP5!?

[@aarontooley570]

I really like the trend with people quiting the big brand's over priced gear for the equal in quality new golf brands. We have had enough of the $50-$60 a dozen balls and the $1000+ golf clubs

[@DMKFACTOR]

Only problem is DTC golf balls still lag behind in the durability and distance department! I’m all for the DTC golf clubs though!

[@JamSoupMusicLols]

They can only squeeze so much right, vote with your wallet

[@justinking2369]

I used the seed ball for about six months. The SD01. I’ve got to admit that it was a very very good ball. The reason I actually left my subscription from seed was that they could never honour my delivery every two months. I had to constantly chase them up because they never had any stock, but I was a subscriber to the product as that was the way to get the cheapest price. I pay about £5 more and get a dozen of premium Bridgestone balls instead. Never a shortage of those and I’ve now got to the point now that I might only lose 1 ball a round at most so willing to a tad more.

[@CinemaSteve]

Which Bridgestone do you play with? I’m in the market for a new ball

[@tjvbham5831]

I've been watching James and Chris for years and started playing Seed balls two years ago when James first started putting them in play. I prefer the SD-01 and love them. Great performance and value.

[@JohnLowe-ry4ik]

Try Wilson Triad 3 pc very good ball!!!!

[@justinsablan7719]

James, I have been watching you for years all the way from Hawaii. I must say you are top 10 KZbin golf creators on the internet. You and your friends are doing nothing but helping the game of golf.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Appreciate you so much Justin thanks buddy

[@tommcnutt2582]

Put it up against another DTC ball! Legato is a great ball at a price of $24-$29 /doz. 3 piece urethane cover ball. Would love to see that comparison. Play Legato’s now and love them.

[@Hunter-zp5hd]

The Legato is my gamer now.

[@wmbishop22]

I’d like to see this comparison as well. I enjoy playing the Legato LTX3085 and think it is just as good as any premium ball.

[@GeezerTony]

I tried it...I liked it too!

[@Peter-de5ou]

Thank you James for another great vid. Really informative on the seed golf ball v a premium golf ball which a lot of older golfers can't afford the later. Golf is a game to be enjoyed, not worrying if you're going to put £4.50 in water or out of bounds.

[@Captinfun101]

Appreciate all the work you put in to new equipment and putting it through your genuine thoughts with us mere mortals. If quality with a good affordable price can play a factor that’s great. And maybe get the big brands to give us a break in the hip pocket.

[@jimbarrie7094]

Love the Seed O1x. My favorite ball. Great performance. Been subscribed for a year or so and tried all of them before settling on the O1x.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Very enjoyable video guy’s and when I’ve found a seed golf ball I’ve always enjoyed playing it

[@curtismelick2513]

Snow on the ground here in Pennsylvania. Enjoying your play here. Received 5 dozen Snell Prime 3.0 from Santa- can't wait to try them out

[@paulhawkins5800]

Just bought another 3 dozen of the Sd01 wronguns!! 17:50 a dozen due to a print defect . I’ve got 7 dozen of them. Can’t beat them at that price.

[@easyswing007]

I play a Kirkland ball and love it😊

[@chrisgirling1097]

I've tried a few different balls but always come back the the TM tour response stripe balls, a brilliant mid range ball

[@adrianadams6237]

I’ve been using seed sd 02 since about July. It’s a fantastic ball very comparable to the the premium TM balls imo. It’s a no brainer in terms of the cost and the quality of ball you are getting

[@RobertSmith-ll9xw]

Only really been good enough last 6 months to comment on something like this, playing the pro v 1 is game changer. Durability,stopping power and flight . I lose the odd ball but have found nothing to replace it , can’t wait to test the new 2025 pro v 1 soon . New tp5 is also good , better in the wind . If your on a budget or loose 3-4 balls a round , seed is a good alternative in my opinion but a direct replacement.

[@davidlee1753]

Love the SD-02. Just bought a mix of 5 and have a box of SDX-01.

[@Lovetheducks]

For some reason I really like their packaging.

[@geno816]

I used to play proV1.. but those wilson staff model balls are so great. Like better than prov1 IMO

[@gregfloyd2059]

Hey James😁 What's the chance of you getting a fourball with Alex Etched and Dan Hendrikson when you are abroad in the near future??? Pushing 300K! Top work!

[@jacsmithwilliams1083]

As long as the ball is consistent every time with numbers. A lot of ppl chop and change ball to often buy 1 box off seed then next box is a taylormade. As James and chris have said b4 you need to try for a few months with the same ball

[@royclose946]

I use taylormade tour response ball but the seed looks a good ball n 25 quid a dozen can't fault that 😊 well done James 👏

[@loutennant99]

They are a good ball but to get the low price you need to buy a lot. You can get the same price and quantity without spending £120 for taylormade response or Wilson even cheaper both great balls.

[@gezkemp1263]

I’m just trying to use same ball to be fair as I don’t lose many but I’m certainly not that good to know difference between mid price and expensive just that range balls and are terrible and inconsistent and so can lake balls be lol

[@glennpacker8161]

In Australia, you can’t really try any of the DTC balls because they cost so much for a dozen, ie about the same as Pro Vs, so effectively they’re just another premium priced ball. To get a reasonable price, you need to buy 3 or 4 dozen, which no average golfer will do without testing them first … I would suggest they need local distributors that sell sleeves of 3 balls if the want us to try/test them.

[@JAAGGolf]

If you're looking for courses to play for your next 100 tour, I suggest the course I play at which is Brett Vale, just outside of Ipswich. Massively underrated and also a pretty unknown gem of a course, you should check it out if possible mate 👍🏻

[@L3WTY]

Would like to see you test the new Mizuno pro s and x golf balls as well as the s3 irons and the new wedges

[@richardjacobs7632]

I just picked up a dozen Seed SD-15J’s. Haven’t put them through their paces, snow on the ground here! Thanks

[@marklaborde3540]

Been playing the SD-15 and honestly bought in bulk (looses) for best deal. Know they are cheaper ones, but honestly I enjoyed them more than SD-01 or SD-02. Plan to just stick with one ball; but may have to try X1 with Jack marking on them as well.

[@Powder148]

They used to have the Seed balls in Walmart where I live haven’t seen them there in 2 or 3 years though

[@wajopek2679]

Just had 5 boxes of SD-15 green delivered yesterday. They last a long time and hard to loose. (Hcp 15).

[@Hunter-zp5hd]

I’ve never tried a Seed ball, but I think I found a cheap go to ball. The Legato ball off Amazon is fantastic. On Prime Day they were $24 a box. Great ball that’s durable, spins good, has nice distance, and just overall a nice ball. $24 a box is a great deal too. On the flip side, Seed ball boxes are $35.

[@seanwhitman4365]

add shipping theyre around $45

[@thomasmccauley9607]

How does the ball do for putting and other short game shots?

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Nice mate. Love the new alignment aid and feels soft

[@davidwhittington9498]

Certainly does give you SEED for thought James's 😂😂. Yes sounds like a good ball

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Hahahahaha

[@jeffnahass8373]

Thanks James. I’d play them. I find ProV1 balls and give the $4.60 ball as a tip to the cart girl. I play Costco balls. I want something that doesn’t feel like a brick. I also play the Taylormade Tour Response. They are cheaper at the golf course shop.

[@michaelrandold4656]

Seed SD01 as good as they come. Same distance as TP5x and the feel of a Chrome soft

[@shawntaylor7442]

Another Left Dash competitor? I know Callaway have released one. If a company could get you left dash distance with green side spin, that would be my secret sauce ball 🤙

[@Mjones8383]

Are these comparable to the Hex soft from Callaway? I get them now and they seem to be great for $45 for 2 dozen

[@hoppman6649]

Would like to see the X1 in yellow, will it be available in the future in yellow?

[@davidgolf3245]

James you should check out the Maxfli tour soft ball for 35 bucks. Pretty good ball if you ask me. Let me know if you do a video. You are welcome.

[@robster230]

It's so hard to get in the UK, need someone to send him some 😂

[@JamSoupMusicLols]

Jimbob whats your thoughts on this. Typical run of the mill aversge golfer - play off 18, average speed 140-145 ball for driver.... Would an sd1 be wasted on me and should i be getting a 2 piece ball like the sd-15/ad333 ?

[@marynewton-e3x]

Club head speed indicator seems to be all over the place on the Golf Zon you’re using

[@DMKFACTOR]

The only issue I’ve ever had with DTC balls is the durability. I’ve played a ProV1 for 12 rounds in a row before still had the tacky feel until I lost it! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten 2 rounds out of a DTC ball before. I also have struggled to find a ball that can preform like a ProV1 too. Either they lack distance or they lack spin around the screen, and more often than not they lack in both areas. As much as I dislike paying the prices for ProV1s, nothing has ever checked the boxes for me. Vice Pro Plus is the closest!

[@josephblackman8902]

James would you do a video on Mizuno TPZ irons?

[@wajopek2679]

Did you superglue the ball back so Gaz can use it?

[@jiripauzrgolfanddarts]

I would like to try Seed balls, actually I tryed to order 01s and bag which I like very much. But the problem is that it is not possible to buy even rhey are officialy in EU. I can pick country but not set the address. So no possible shipping.

[@Lou0830]

Hi mate how durable are they? Do they scuff easily or scratch in the bunkers? Also how soft does it feel to the chrome tour which I think is a fantastic golf ball. Thanks

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

I think we covered it in the video bud? They’re not great but very soft covers

[@jeremysmallwood-vb7yb]

So its good for you both with professional swing speeds - but what about slower swing speeds ?

[@MrAshtute]

Love the channel but in fairness i have to say that you called this the pro v1 killer but the balls you hit against it were callaway chromesoft (another good very expensive ball but not a pro v1). Personally i use srixon z star whenever i buy balls i buy 6 or 8 dozen at once (they last me 2 years maybe a little longer if I'm lucky but buying that many i get them for about £36 a dozen. Brilliant ball and i would put it against any ball. You have to keep an eye out online and grab a deal when it comes up but they do come up every year and its a great way to get a top ball cheap (pro v1 never sold cheaply)

[@SimonS-D]

Let’s be honest, quality, distance, feel and cost are all really important. But the one thing that Seed cannot compete with TP5/ProV1 s on is clubhouse snobbery. They used to say that if you put a BMW badge on a skip, they would still sell like hot cakes just so badge snobs could flash the key fob in the bar. I’m afraid the same is true with golf balls, and indeed clubs.

[@derrickcalcote3808]

Respectfully, the numbers show that the Seed is lacking compared to the premium brands. It's ok for a golfer looking for "good enough" but not acceptable for a golfer looking to maximize their performance.

[@micksumo]

Tbh for the average golfer there's almost no difference. I just picked up a dozen premium 2023 balls for under £30 which is my price point. I love wilson balls, fg tour, triad fantastic balls. Also I'd rather buy an older model club with a better spec. Upgraded shaft etc.

[@TMar1961]

Short answer, nope it's not going to happen. The old models scuffed very easy and did not feel the same off the club as the Prov1x. If you lose a lot of golf balls, by all means get the cheaper one as longevity doesn't matter.

[@stephenfowler4115]

It doesn't have to be either. It could just be a good ball.

Do you want to save money or have better performance? Continually Titleist is the ball to beat but you keep trying while they keep improving is there an end to this or just admit Titleist has the best ball.

[@andrewportman2575]

Good balls for the money but they aren’t in the same league as the top brands, which your test showed. However the average golfer isn’t good enough to tell the difference but tour pros will which is why they don’t use them

[@seanwhitman4365]

unless u buy a ton of them or sign up for the subscription, its only a couple dollars different. $47 dollars for a dozen delivered smh

[@bob5365]

For the average hacker out there, the guy that maybe plays once a week and doesn't practice much, they should be using cheaper balls and the brand doesn't matter. Until you have a very consistent swing with all your clubs you won't see any notable difference. I have a few friends that live on golf courses and they give me dozens of balls and most of them have only been hit once or twice. Buying second hand balls online is also a great way to save money. As expensive as golf is, save a little money and get out and just enjoy yourself.

[@bobpegram8042]

The left and right ends of of the bottom row on your comparison chart are blocked by icons. I assume the bottom row is listing the comparable balls to each Seed model. However, for the last column (SD-X1), I see Pro V1, (everything else is blocked). What is a tour launch angle. Is it high, low, what? I assume it is relatively high. The chart says the SD-02 has a low launch angle. You said it went high. You said you liked the SD-05, but the chart says it has a high launch which you don't want. There are others. Your commentary and the chart are contradictory in a number of places.

[@michaelr9397]

This may be a strange reason for not buying Seed golf balls. But their comparison chart doesn't make sense, I think they compare their balls to the wrong competitors balls, ie, the Titleist AVX is a lower launching lower trajectory ball, but they compare it to their higher launch and higher trajectory SD-05 balls, same with the SD-02 balls being compared to the ProV1x and TP5x. Strange reason, but made me stay away.

[@ncphenom2309]

I struggle watching these comparison videos only from the standpoint of you can’t do this with humans. They have to be done with a robot. Take your swing speed for example you are all over the place. 107-120+. But ball speed was always close which means your carry numbers aren’t accurate ball to ball as launch and spin would be all over the place as well. So it’s hard to say they compare. A robot is the only way I would really pay attention to the results.
