I’ve decided to change golf balls. And with so many great options, I put them thru a battery of tests on course to find out which is the best golf ball for me.

Should this have a sponsored content banner? 🤔
I really love my Legato balls, but I'm willing to give these a try. What do you feel is the biggest difference between the two?
Here's the 100% free to download Golf Ball Testing Sheet I use to evaluate the best ball for me, hopefully it helps you: https://bit.ly/golf-ball-test-sheet
This was the perfect chance for the Golf Ball Addict collaboration.
Not sure if everyone can acknowledge but, wow! I have to say, the editing on this is seriously impressive. I used to be an editor for a golf magazine, so I know how much work goes into making a video with this many elements (traces etc..) flow so smoothly. You absolutely nailed it! Are you doing the editing yourself? Either way, you've definitely earned a new sub (had to make a channel to comment). Keep up the great work!
Great video Gabe probably my favorite all time. I will be interested in a ball for 85-90 swing speeds
Volvick is one of the few I have not tried…..
I do have a golf ball compulsion.
out of curiosity what were you gaming before this Volvik venture?
Legato kicked to the curb eh?
I really don't like the Volvik name. Kinda Scandinavian medicine treating herpes or something
Ball testing suggestion would be to play 9 holes with each different ball for better results. 9 holes each day, and take 5 days to test them. Because what you are doing with all of these longer shots is wearing yourself out and then by the time you get to the last ball you are just exhausted, leaving you with mixed results at best with even the 3 balls. Your last 3 shots on that par 3 from the tee you could see the drop off in swing from exhaustion, meaning the results can't really be all that fair.
Hey Gabe – 2+ year follower and love your content. So are you now fully sponsored by Volvik and will only be using their balls on future equipment testing? I loved the quality of this video, but just trying to get my head around your “relationship” with this company for clarity. Your pitch of Legato as a “good budget ball” was great, but just hoping you’re not exclusive to Volvik now. Just asking … thanks.
Volvik so far hasn't impressed me. I like the old legato, I heard the new model isn't that good.
After watching a number of content creators do some testing, I decided to do my own on DTC balls. After several models, I found the Snell 4.0 felt and performed really well.
I wish that you would have done the test without knowing the attributes of each ball….sort of a blind study.
I have a friend who is super into golf
Balls and he swears by Volvik ballls. I must admit I was pretty impressed by my limited experience with them. Going to be great for the channel love it!!
How can you be unbiased and independent, but also have a partnership with a ball company? 🤔
You can hit a mean 100y shot
Better than the Legato?
I always enjoy your content! I recently ordered the Toura combo set based on your review, looking forward to getting those. Curious what putter was that in this vid? It looks slick! As far as golf balls if landed on the Q-Star so far but I’ll have to check on the availability of these ones ( Canada) new to golf btw so your channel has been a gold mine, thank you!
hey i've partnered with Volvik, here's the reason why Volvik balls are the best
What happened to legato Gabe?
Volvik S3 and S4 were really good a while back! Cool ball Gabe! Congrats to you! Thanks for the review!
Volvik is TRASH!!! Say goodbye to the credibility you've gained through the years!
Hardly a ball test when you only use one brand. You could have at least compared to your current ball. Honestly, this was just a 45 min ad for Volvic.
I played the XT Soft for a while. Very similar to Tour Response and Vice Pro Soft/Air. Going by Volvik’s stated compression on their website, looks like the VTU3 is slightly firmer at 80 compression (vs 70 for XT Soft) so probably one to try for me.
I'm buying Volvik just because of the smart ass comments on here. Jerks
The proof that the change is successful is if your scores go down. If not then it is all a personal preference on ball selection and the test will hold no water. Should have put the legato against your final 2 choices.
No no no no no….
c'mon gabe, theres a reason why there isnt a single player on any your chooses tp play a volvik
Maxfli Tour X are the way to go
Gabe, we need trackman numbers, compression numbers and pricing …..
I truly believe all balls are approximately 3% different from one another no matter what the brand or series. It's 97% mental.
So that’s the best ball for you, not the best ball for me, not the best ball for my neighbor, you guys are just trying to get views turned into a bit of BS
Gabe please continue to get different sponsors. Reading the fake outrage comments is almost as good as the fake moral outrage comments on a LIV Golf video😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
one more “honest” partnership with a company, lol ! ok , next video !
This whole channel was built on nonsponsored reviews and the second he started getting sponsors he sold out and now he just makes corny not helpful or honest reviews. I mean congrats on finding a way to get paid to golf but i seriously cant stand any sponsored guk guk 9000 content.
the crystal is a fun ball. but i dont like vivids. they are super hard. i should try more volviks
Currently using Seed SD-01
Good on you Gabe, a bit of sponsorship must be good for the channel. I'm sure it was a big effort putting this together. You were looking tired by the end of the vid. Good effort
