Snell MTB X — frequently asked
What is the compression of the Snell MTB X?
The Snell MTB X has a compression rating of 92. 92 is firm — designed for fast swing speeds (105+ mph driver). On slower swings it will feel hard and underperform a softer ball.
Is the Snell MTB X a tour ball?
Yes. The MTB X is a tour-tier ball — 4-piece construction with a Urethane cover for high greenside spin and full short-game control.
What swing speed is the Snell MTB X best for?
Best fit is driver swing speed above about 100 mph. At 92 compression the ball is firm enough to compress correctly only on faster swings.
Does the Snell MTB X spin a lot around the green?
Yes — the urethane cover grips the grooves of a wedge in a way that ionomer or Surlyn covers cannot. The MTB X produces tour-level greenside spin (typically 9,000 to 11,000 wedge rpm), which is what allows pros to stop the ball quickly on firm greens.
How much does the Snell MTB X cost?
MSRP is $40.00 per dozen. That sits below tour-flagship pricing, which is typically $50 to $55 per dozen.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the Snell MTB X?
Pro shops and major retailers (PGA Tour Superstore, Dick's Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy) sell the MTB X at full retail. Snell's own website is the most reliable source — they sometimes offer free personalization that third-party retailers don't. Used / refurbished options on Lostgolfballs.com run 50 to 70 percent below new.
