Remember that mojo regainer round I tried? Yeah... it was also a bit of a redemption for the balls. This was nothing to do with how they played and 100% just me being your utterly average golfer who had a bad day.

The one place I found the Sugar balls really differentiated themselves from the others was driver spin – the spin numbers were several hundred rpms higher than nearly every ball I tried.Additional driver spin could be a great thing or a massive problem, depending on your game and swing.For my game, and several of my regular playing partners, the added spin reduced carry distance and caused some ballooning of drives, particularly into a wind. So this is tough because I have really liked using these Sugar Pure Golf Balls, they are really a high quality ball that I think the vast majority of golfers would enjoy and get great performance from, especially on and around the greens. I did use them in a couple of tournaments and ended up playing pretty well with them. But maybe it is just what has been pounded into my head that the ProV1 is the best ball on the market that I still just feel a little more confident standing over one. The numbers bear out in the simulator and my scores on the course, so maybe there is something to it. But the differences are negligible and it is really a good ball. However, not everyone found the Sugar Golf balls to be great in all areas. Tester BallsLeon had significant struggles off the tee with the Sugar Pure. In my short game testing, I found that the Sugar Golf ball is the equal of the number one selling ball in golf. From short pitches to half and full wedges, this ball produces all the spin you could want. Long Game After playing some of the best golf of my life while testing these golf balls, I think it is clear that these balls are here to stay in my bag. The more I play with these golf balls, the more confident I get and by extension the more fun I have while playing -- which is an often overlooked part of this sport/hobby!The ball features a soft and resilient core, a fast mantle to boost speed off the club face, consistent spin / control, and a low-drag, aerodynamic, seamless dimple design. As far as bigger OEMs go, Launch Tech’s most notable client is likely Callaway. It’s the factory that produces Supersoft and the chip-embedded TopGolf balls. Srixon and Mizuno are also LT customers. I played another round yesterday. It was the "breeziest" round so far. I was really impressed how this ball performed in the wind, both off the driver and the irons. There was no "ballooning" and I did not seem to lose as much yardage as my playing partners hitting into the wind, as the distance between my ball and theirs seemed to increase! As a result, approaches were really easy to judge. For example, the "shot of the day" was 130 yards to the pin on a par 3, 8i to 4 feet. Several other approaches, both with full shots and partial wedges, were within 10 feet or so. Very pleased with this ball! If only I had putted better!

I have a VERY modest swing speed usually only topping out at best low 90s on driver. Irons are in the 70mph to 80’s Id suspect. I had zero issue getting these to spin around the green or with longer iron shots. To test the performance on the course, I played two 18-hole rounds of golf and used 2 golf balls, one ProV1 and one Sugar Pure. I also had my dad playing with me doing the same thing so that we could get his thoughts and comparisons. I played at my home course, Glen Eagle (https://golfgleneagle.com/), from the Blue tees which run 6621 yards, 70.2/123 Slope and Rating. I play here 4-5 days a week and know every inch of this course, so I can usually score pretty well here. Let me get to the details: It.... never really got much better from there. So I kind of had to scrub this playtest as really... none of the data felt valid. I was just playing too poorly. Could NOT get out of my own way. I was able to get out to the course a couple of hours before my weekly league round to hit the putting green and chipping area where I was able to put Sugar and Vice head to head in more "real world" scenarios. This was my first time to the course with my LAB MEZZ.1 MAX so I was very curious to get the putting green and practice. My local course has a fairly large putting green with 8-10 holes. I typically do a sort of zig-zag practice focusing on puts greater than 15 feet (I can practice less than 10 feet at home on my "office putting green" aka carpet) since my approach shots tend to leave much to be desired. This was the best drive of the day I had.... not great. I average roughly 230/245 off the tee on a competent hit from myself.Ive played since I was roughly a preteen and then maybe once or twice a year for the past 20+ years. I got conned, well maybe not conned... into joining a golf league and thats really when I became obsessed. Getting fitted for irons, buying other new equipment... becoming a regular in the CHA thread.... I wish there was more to say here, but it’s as simple as this: Sugar Golf makes a really good golf ball. This ball is trying to compete with balls exactly like mine so I expect performance on par (badum - tish) with my Bridgestones. If they come close for the price point that Sugar are targeting.. then thats a win. Just wish they had funky colors. I prefer playing yellow balls. No idea why. I had never heard of this company, but I can respect what they are trying to do. Has a coating feel on the cover that almost cheapens it? Makes it feel more like a Callaway Supersoft ball, if you know what that feels like. Hard to say much negative here, I was very pleased with everything the Sugar Ball did. Tee shots flew long and true, my draw was consistent and I did feel like I could work the ball the other way when needed. The Sugar holds greens well and it is awesome on pitch and chip shots, seriously spins like a Tasmanian devil. I LOVE the line on the ball for putting, it is the perfect size for my eye and liking. And while I didn’t beat the ProV1, I feel like it would be able to on any given round. I am totally comfortable playing it.
