It’s an understatement to say Sugar Golf balls haven’t had the very best scores within the MyGolfSpy Ball Lab Sequence. In truth, the Sugar Pure was one of many lowest-ever rated balls within the sequence.

However, many Discussion board members have been curious in regards to the Sugar Pure golf ball. So we reached out to Sugar to see in the event that they have been eager about getting their Pure golf ball within the fingers of Discussion board members to check, overview and preserve.

Sugar makes one golf ball: the Pure. Sugar claims it’s “the lowest-priced golf ball in its class which competes in opposition to the Titleist Professional V1, Callaway Chrome Smooth and different main Tour manufacturers.” It’s made with a S1X resilient core which Sugar claims promotes distance and management in addition to proprietary urethane expertise which “gives a reactive and sturdy cowl for Tour-caliber efficiency.” Essentially the most distinctive side although is that Sugar golf balls are available in what they name “cubes” that features 27 balls versus the 12 in a normal field. At $59.95, the worth is actually there from a worth standpoint however we needed to see how these carried out for our testers outdoors of the Ball Lab and on the course.

Chosen testers obtained one Sugar “Dice” for testing and have been requested to get as a lot information, apply and on-course outcomes as attainable to inform us how these balls carry out.

What Testers Mentioned – Unboxing

As talked about, Sugar golf balls are available in cubes of 27. This was one thing that our testers have been inquisitive about with tester PhilM75072 mentioning the next about his unboxing expertise.

“Upon opening the field, I used to be curious as to how the balls are numbered, given the odd variety of 27, I suspected, and it held, that the balls are numbered 1, 2, or 3 with 9 of every quantity. Every layer of balls was a distinct quantity with the highest layer being all #1 balls, all of the balls within the 2nd layer have been #2, with #3 balls on the underside.”

Tester DRLEONARD58 appreciated the minimalist bundle of the Sugar Golf Balls.

“I attempt to do my half to cut back my carbon footprint — I stroll nearly all of my rounds, I search for alternatives to cut back single-serve packaging, and so on. So, the packaging of the Sugar golf balls was, for my part, very considerate. Not like different manufacturers the place you’d have a field that contained 4 sleeves of three golf balls, we obtained one dice of balls stacked neatly 3 broad, 3 throughout and three deep for a complete of 27 golf balls.”

One other constant statement from the testers was the texture of the Sugar ball. Tester BallsLeon recapped what had been described by all of the testers.

“So far as really feel. I’ve described this some, however there may be an nearly cheesy layer on the floor of the ball that feels noticeably completely different than different urethane balls I’ve tried. The balls are noticeably comfortable, however firmer than one thing like SuperSoft or Smooth Really feel.”

What Testers Mentioned – Efficiency

With the balls unboxed and into the bag, it was time for our testers to get to the course and begin taking notes on how they carried out.

Tester tbarnes80 went straight to a simulator with a launch monitor to get comparisons. He alternated between the Sugar and Titleist Professional V1 with a number of golf equipment and had fascinating outcomes.

“The two balls – Sugar Pure and Titleist Professional V1 – have been very comparable. In response to the machine, I do get barely higher carry, speeds, and total distance (Professional V1) however it’s fairly shut and I believe that you simply actually don’t lose a lot if you’re utilizing a Sugar ball. And I like the best way the ball feels, it is rather much like the ProV1.”

Tester Skraeling was simply impressed with the on-course efficiency.

“Off the tee the ball is greater than as much as the duty of offering ample distance.  It in contrast favorably and typically higher than others I attempted each the TP5x, Tour B RXS and RX.  No complaints right here.  Spin across the inexperienced is…. Distinctive.  This ball will drop like a dime onto any inexperienced you may hit.  So for those who spin the ball an excessive amount of?  This might not be the ball for you as I’ve no hassle getting it to hop and cease even on partial-feel wedge photographs.”

Nevertheless, not everybody discovered the Sugar Golf balls to be nice in all areas. Tester BallsLeon had vital struggles off the tee with the Sugar Pure.

“I wrestle driving this ball with any type of accuracy. I’ve misplaced a miserable variety of these balls, and needed to order extra balls mid-review so I didn’t run out. Aside from one outing, I scored larger than my GHIN common.”

There have been two constructive features which got here up repeatedly with our testers: Spin and sturdiness.

Tester PhilM75072 said “it’s most likely probably the most sturdy urethane ball I’ve ever performed!” and at one level had used the identical golf ball for 72 holes. The ball had one mark from a cart path, nevertheless was in distinctive form.

Tbarnes80 simply mentioned “Sturdiness is off the charts.”

Then got here the extra spin which testers famous summed up by DRLEONARD58 “The one level I took away from the heading in the right direction efficiency of those golf balls is because of the slight studying curve of adapting your recreation to account for the additional backspin. Earlier than Sugar, I might play for an excellent quantity of roll-out into greens irrespective of which membership I hit. Now, I’m adjusting for considerably much less roll-out and infrequently anticipating the ball to back-up or cease at level of impression.”

The Backside Line

The Titleist Professional V1 is the gold commonplace of golf balls for a cause. It’s what most each firm compares themselves to or strives to beat. Sugar claims to make a golf ball cheaper however performs simply in addition to the highest manufacturers.

Our testers discovered there could possibly be one thing to their claims. Whereas they discovered the Sugar golf ball to primarily succeed within the spin and sturdiness classes, the ultimate scores mirrored an excellent outing for Sugar. The bottom rating was a 53/100 from BallsLeon who will likely be going again to his Maxfli Tour. Whereas he cherished the seems and really feel, the efficiency off the tee wasn’t near assembly his expectations.

Skraeling gave it 79. He appreciated the ball total and located good outcomes however prefers to play a coloured golf ball.

Rounding out the ultimate scores have been two 89s from Tbranes and PhilM75052 who raved in regards to the sturdiness and a 95 from DRLEONARD58. All three will both play the ball shifting ahead or give it very robust consideration.

DRLEONARD58  will get the ultimate phrase.

“I might suggest Sugar golf balls to each kind of golfer, however the high-handicap golfer may not get as a lot out of those golf balls because the scratch to mid-handicap golfer. The additional backspin that I, and different reviewers have skilled is likely to be irritating for golfers who wrestle to hit greens after which have to look at because the ball spins off the entrance of the inexperienced (been there, accomplished that as a part of my studying curve).”
