Can this BUDGET GOLF BALL really help you BREAK 90?!

Can this BUDGET GOLF BALL really help you BREAK 90?!

I have never seen a golf ball manufacturer design a ball specifically to help golfers break 90 until now this is the Lagato LTX THIRTY EIGHTY FIVE and it has all the hallmarks of a premium golf ball it’s a three piece build urethane cover and a soft performance feel but what specifically about this golf ball is gonna help you break 90 and how does it compare to the best golf ball on the planet the Titleist Pro V1 the price difference between these two golf balls is insane but more importantly how different is the performance I’m gonna find out in this video and over the next 10 minutes or so we’ll know whether the Lagato LTX THIRTY EIGHTY FIVE is worth putting in your bag let’s get into it first things first let’s address this claim about the golf ball being designed specifically to help us break 90 how is that even possible well manufacturers can design golf balls for specific types of players and the way they do that is by playing around with the compression rating of the golf ball hard golf balls like the Titleist Pro V 1 x have a compression rating of 97 compared to softer golf balls like the Callaway Super Soft which has a compression rating of forty building a harder feeling golf ball helps manufacturers add spin to the golf ball for higher swing speeds while softer golf balls actually spin less and help slower swing speeds hit the ball further now the average male golfer swings the driver between 90 and 95 miles an hour probably closer to 95 miles an hour to be honest and at that swing speed we’re looking for a balance between distance and spin and the perfect compression rating for that is 85 and the Lagato LTX30 85 has a compression rating of yep you guessed it 85 so when they say they’ve designed a golf ball specifically to help golfers break 90 this is how they’ve done it there are a lot of golf balls in this space though most notably the Titleist Pro V1 it has a compression rating of 87 theoretically these two golf balls should have a very similar performance so let’s put that to the test before I put these two golf balls through their paces let me explain how I go about testing golf balls as with all my golf ball tests I like to gather a lot of data so I’m gonna hit four different golf clubs the lob wedge the pitching wedge the 7 iron and the driver I’m gonna hit 20 shots with each golf ball with each club I’m gonna use club head speed as a controlling factor for this test and after I’ve hit all of these golf balls I’m gonna pick the best 15 strikes with each ball with each club just to make sure I’m showing you guys reliable data I’m an average golfer I’m gonna hit some bad shots every now and then and let’s be honest you don’t wanna see bad shots in the data pool all in all I’ve got 160 shots to hit for this test so I better crack on I’ll be back in a second with all of the results that went in the hole right then let’s get into the results shall we I’m gonna start off with the lob wedge and the average club head speed for the lob wedge test was 50 miles an hour now this is basically a pitch shot for me in an area of the game where you need a lot of control and a lot of stopping power something the Provi 1 is well known for so it’s gonna be interesting to see if the Lagato can keep up with the Provi 1 here on screen now are all of the results okay let’s be honest there’s not a huge amount to pick between these two golf balls here the carry numbers are basically the same the ball speed is basically the same the spin is nearly identical and the ball flight characteristics are very similar you could argue that the Provi 1 is the better ball here because it’s slightly better at all of the data points that I looked at but it’s pretty damn close and I’m not sure the golfer trying to break 90 would actually be able to see the difference between these two golf balls here let’s see what the performance is like with the pitching wedge for the pitching wedge the average club head speed was 80 miles an hour this is basically a full swing for me and if I do say so myself I was striking the ball pretty damn good today a week and a half off in Sorrento Italy has really helped my golf anyway here are the results again there’s hardly anything to pick between these two golf balls here the Legato is flying a little higher and a little bit further but that’s about it I don’t think us average golfers are gonna notice this performance difference out on the golf course you could argue that because the Legato is flying a little bit higher that it’ll probably stop a little bit quicker and I know a lot of you watching are probably jumping on that one extra yard of carry as well but in reality there isn’t a huge amount of difference between these two golf balls so far and when you consider the price difference between these two balls it’s easy to understand why a lot of people are considering the Lagato for their game of golf ball but we’re only halfway through this test let’s have a look at the 7 9 results for the 7 9 the average club head speed for the test was 90 miles an hour with this club we’re looking for a golf ball that can fly a long way but still stop on the green the good strikes continue with the 7 iron let’s have a look at the results again not a huge amount to pick between these two balls we are seeing a bit of an edge going towards the Pro V1 here though slightly longer carry and slightly longer ball speed the spin is basically the same but looking at the flight numbers the Pro B1 is flying higher and landing softer so should stop just that little bit quicker than the Legato I’d argue that the spin is a little bit low with both golf balls here and that’s not to say that the Lagato won’t stop on the green it definitely still should but you’ve probably got a little bit more control with the Pro B1 so far I’m really impressed with this Lagato golf ball there isn’t a huge amount to pick between these two balls performance wise the only thing I’m noticing that I haven’t actually got in the data points here is that the carry dispersion numbers are a little bit tighter with the Provi 1 although the averages are the same the Lagarto’s dispersion front and back is a little bit wider than the Provi 1 I’m starting to think that that’s where your money is being spent when you buy a Provi one it’s the build quality and the consistency which explains why pros use Provi ones not Lagato golf balls anyway we’ve got one club left to go in this test let’s have a look at the driver results let’s be honest this is the club results you actually wanna see I bet even some of you have skipped all the way forward through this video just to see the driver results well let’s not keep you in suspense the average clubhead speed for the driver test was 105 miles per hour and here are all of the results let’s be honest the story of this video is that there isn’t a huge amount to pick between these two golf balls the performance with all clubs is very similar and again with the driver we’re seeing a slight edge in performance going towards the Provi 1 we got longer carry and a higher ball flight but honestly there’s not much in it at all if you’re trying to break 80 are you really noticing your golf ball with a driver carrying two and a half yards further I’m a mid 80s golfer and I can’t tell that difference at all and when it comes to the flight characteristics I mean you’re probably gonna get a little bit more roll out with the Lagato but my ability to control that sort of trajectory and the consistency I have in my flight isn’t good enough for the driver to even consider those numbers an issue or even a performance difference what this test is showing is that if we’ve got a golf ball with the right compression rating we’re able to get some performance out of it and for £30 a dozen which is basically 40% less than the Pro V One’s price it’s definitely worth a go the extra money that you’re paying towards a Provi 1 is basically going towards the build quality you’re gonna get more consistency out of a Provi 1 but I’d argue that an average golfer isn’t consistent enough with their golf swing to see the performance gain in the consistency of the Pro V1 I’m not sure if that makes too much sense but hopefully you get the point I’m trying to make the big question of this video though can this golf ball help you break 90 if you’re trying to break 90 should you put the Legato LTX30 85 in your bag the simple answer to that question is yes it’s a viable option for you when people buy golf balls they look at one of two things they look at the brand name or the price tag this is a price tag golf ball if you’re not playing with premium golf balls at the moment then this golf ball is definitely worth giving a go the performance is gonna be very very similar you’re just gonna lose a little bit of consistency but this is the whole point of the Provi 1 versus series I’m trying to show you guys that there are plenty of golf balls that give you enough performance at a fraction of the price and when it comes to the Legato golf ball this is very very true this golf ball has the right compression rating for most of you guys watching this video you’ll barely notice a performance difference but you will notice the difference in your pocket but as always you guys you’ve got to give it a go yourselves and see what you think guys thank you so much for taking the time to watch this whole video that’s another interesting budget ball tested on this channel if you’ve enjoyed this video or enjoyed the testing process hit that subscribe button I’m always testing golf balls on this channel and if you’d like to see a golf ball put up against the Pro V1 get in the comments and let me know which golf ball you want me to test next again thanks for taking the time to watch this whole video and I’ll see you next week for another

Can a golf ball really help you break 90? In this video, we test the Legato LTX 3085 against the Titliest Pro V1 to find out. A huge BUDGET GOLF BALL TEST!

The Legato LTX 3085 claims to be the first golf ball designed specifically for golfers trying to break 90. With a compression rating of 85 and a three-piece urethane cover, it’s built to optimize performance for average swing speeds—especially around 90–95 mph. But how does it compare to the legendary Titleist Pro V1, one of the most trusted balls on tour?

In this data-driven review, I test both golf balls head-to-head in real-world conditions, analyzing spin, distance, feel, and price. I break down the compression science behind why this ball might be a better fit for your game if you’re a mid-handicapper or weekend golfer looking to shoot in the 80s.
If you’re an average golfer who wants practical, evidence-based advice to improve your equipment choices and performance, you’re in the right place.
