Snell is great. I’ve been buying them for a couple of seasons… I will stray into maxfli or Kirkland occasionally… but they are my go to favorite ball.
I’ll preach sub70 all day. Excellent service and they keep releasing new and better equipment. Customer service is excellent and prices are awesome.
Currently game the 4 utility and 5 iron… was going to pull the trigger on a full set but got furloughed. Now I’m waiting to see what they release this fall.
Ben Hogan Golf dominates my bag. Play their driver, iron set and wedges.
I also play Snell MTB Black balls from time to time.
Have heard great things about Hogan since they revamped their business model
I’m planning to test Hogans next year. The combo set looks very nice.
I won a free driver and 3 wood from hogan two years ago… neither made my bag… I think woods are a much harder nut to crack…
Neither were bad, just not offered in a shaft I liked and even after a reshaft, didn’t love the driver. It looks nice and seems well built. Just not for me.
The irons look awesome though.
Maltby Irons - replaced my 10 year old Titleist AP2s with a combo set of TE Forged and MMB 17 - they go a roughly similar distance and look great.
Did you go for one of the set paks or fully custom? I feel like all the shaft options they offer can be a bit overwhelming.
Custom - got the same TT DG shafts I had in the AP2s and the same specs. It feels risky buying a set without hitting them but I’m happy with the result so far.
Not sure if Tour Edge qualifies but I have two of their EXS woods that just ROCK!!
Also got one of their Sure Out sand wedges for my wife and she loves that thing 
I love the snell brand too. Was pretty pleased with oncore as well. Feels a little harder but still spins pretty nice around the greens. I’ve gone back to the snells, but I’ll switch back and forth on occasion. I have to blame something for my scores.
Hey guys, this is Jason Almeida, Sales & Marketing Director @ Snell Golf. Glad to see many of you have enjoyed our golf balls and happy we could jump into the new Practical Golf Forum! If you have any questions for Dean or our team let me know…
Welcome, Jason! Thanks for joining in!
Thanks Jason! We had a question pop up on this thread regarding the process Snell used to add the yellow color to the ball. Is it part of the urethane cover process or a painted coating?
Yes I saw that one under the DTC golf ball thread… “As for the yellow balls, you are correct that some yellow models have painted covers to make them yellow and others have a pigmented cover material. Some materials like Surlyn and cheaper TPU urethane are easy to pigment. Cast urethane is much tougher (and more expensive) product to the pigment which is why it has been painted yellow for many years now. Titleist has a bit more resources than us (by just a little, LOL), and does now have a system to color the cast urethane that we cannot yet offer. When you damage the paint layers, it does not impact performance but you can now see the natural urethane underneath the paint layers. Let us know of any other questions, happy to hear directly from players at Practical Golf.”
My Sub70 wedges are the best wedges I’ve ever owned. They are still performing well with over 150 rounds played. I’ve hit the Sub70 699s and their pro fairway wood. Both are solid clubs that I could game.
I’ve been playing the Snell MTB, MTB-BLACK and now MTB-X for the last 4 years. Really good performing ball.
My bag was almost all Gigagolf until this year. I now have mostly Maltby - irons, FW, wedges, hybrid. Even though they are technically not a DTC brand I do have a couple of ironwoods from Tour Edge that I bought direct - love their 48 hour turnaround. For balls I play mostly OnCore, but I also have played Cut, Snell and Vice.
I built out a set of maltby on golfworks and was shocked at how cheap they are… I’ll probably run some experiments through them in 2020.
PXG 0211 irons.
These things seem just right for me … especially with the MMT shafts … and I’m really liking them! (also helps that I picked them up when they were running a Special Pricing sale 
)
Agreed that they’re very good clubs for the price. Here’s my review of the full 0211 line:
On Thursday, I ordered my Father’s Day present; a Hogan GS53 MAX driver. I can’t wait to game it, since it will replace my old, yet serviceable Ping. Stay tuned…
