Sugar Golf | 2023 G1 | 27 Balls | 3-Piece, Premium Urethane - White

Product Information

At the end of the day, we all agreed that the Sugar balls were for real. Soft without being mushy. Great feel. Nice spin when hitting into the greens. Whether hit with the driver or irons, the feel was simply really, really nice, and with the putter the results were very predictable. Hard to say much negative here, I was very pleased with everything the Sugar Ball did. Tee shots flew long and true, my draw was consistent and I did feel like I could work the ball the other way when needed. The Sugar holds greens well and it is awesome on pitch and chip shots, seriously spins like a Tasmanian devil. I LOVE the line on the ball for putting, it is the perfect size for my eye and liking. And while I didn’t beat the ProV1, I feel like it would be able to on any given round. I am totally comfortable playing it.

I don't have access to Arccos/Shotschope or launch monitor data, so here is where I will talk through my practice routine. Approach shots within 120yds were genuinely fantastic, and I think that's where these balls shine. I always felt confident with a wedge in hand. However, longer approach shots often had the same issues that I experienced from the tee. I feel like these balls really do get up in the air, but that wasn't always a good thing. Higher shots would tend to fall off my target line, and this might be due to Kansas wind. Scoring – It is tough to complain about anything when you shoot 1 under of the course of 4 rounds. Seriously, I played great and was incredibly pleased with the way the rounds went. I have to give the slightest of edge to the ProV1 though, as it just came through and won by 3 total strokes. Now that could just be a ball out of bounds or a bad lie here or there, but I really feel comfortable with the Sugar Pure, it was nipping at the heels of the ProV1 both days! Box of Balls – I am a big fan of this presentation of the cube box, it seems way more efficient than the standard box of a dozen balls, so great job there. I like the 3 rows of 9 balls, with the numbering system going 1,2 and 3. I don’t know if you can customize the numbers or if there is a way to change that, but I have a weird thing that I only like to play odd number balls so there is that. An exceptional standout in the DTC ball market. The price to performance of a urethane ball like this is astounding. I have almost zero complaints with how this ball plays. If you need a competitive urethane ball that will while feeling a little firmer behave to perfection from tee to green? Give these a look.

After playing some of the best golf of my life while testing these golf balls, I think it is clear that these balls are here to stay in my bag. The more I play with these golf balls, the more confident I get and by extension the more fun I have while playing -- which is an often overlooked part of this sport/hobby! Designed to compete with Titleist ProV1, Callaway Hex Chrome, Vice Pro, and other major tour balls.

I don’t have the skill level required to “work” a ball (yet). So that aspect I cannot speak to. Flight is high, but that’s more so a product of just my swing and club model choice. I was able to get out to the course a couple of hours before my weekly league round to hit the putting green and chipping area where I was able to put Sugar and Vice head to head in more "real world" scenarios. This was my first time to the course with my LAB MEZZ.1 MAX so I was very curious to get the putting green and practice. My local course has a fairly large putting green with 8-10 holes. I typically do a sort of zig-zag practice focusing on puts greater than 15 feet (I can practice less than 10 feet at home on my "office putting green" aka carpet) since my approach shots tend to leave much to be desired.The ball features a soft and resilient core, a fast mantle to boost speed off the club face, consistent spin / control, and a low-drag, aerodynamic, seamless dimple design. MyGolfSpy offers a unique opportunity to all of its readers of all abilities, ages and handicaps to test, review and keep a variety of different golf equipment, apps, apparel and more. Successful candidates are selected by forum staff. What emerged was a premium golf ball with a urethane cover and three-piece construction, delivered to customers via a convenient bulk mailer containing 27 balls for the best price on the market. The Sugar golf ball is designed to obtain the perfect balance of distance, control, and feel. That said, Sugar know you still want to hit bombs. So they created a ball that outperforms the Titleist ProV1 in head-to-head robo-swing distance testing. This ball’s Pro V1 impression continues in the long game. With a mid iron, I found launch, spin, and ball speed numbers to be virtually identical. The same was true with the driver. The Sugar Golf ball produces excellent ball speed and mid-low driver spin, relative to other Tour balls.

The hat is what I would call a shallow structured hat with a velcro adjustable strap and curved brim. It is made out of a performance like material and is very light. The towel is a tri-fold waffle towel with a carabiner to attach to a bag. I prefer a carabiner attachment for ease of on/off the bag throughout the round. While not the subject of this test, they were nice surprises. Two balls were flagged as bad due to significant compression deviation from the rest of the sample. Members who are selected interact, engage and write a review on the specific product while enjoying the fun of trying new gear! To test the performance on the course, I played two 18-hole rounds of golf and used 2 golf balls, one ProV1 and one Sugar Pure. I also had my dad playing with me doing the same thing so that we could get his thoughts and comparisons. I played at my home course, Glen Eagle (https://golfgleneagle.com/), from the Blue tees which run 6621 yards, 70.2/123 Slope and Rating. I play here 4-5 days a week and know every inch of this course, so I can usually score pretty well here. Let me get to the details:

Inspection

Around the green, the ball was easy to control though I do not use a lot of spin nor play those little "hop and stop" type shots. Run out from chips and "bump and runs" was consistent and predictable. However, not everyone found the Sugar Golf balls to be great in all areas. Tester BallsLeon had significant struggles off the tee with the Sugar Pure. Pretty consistent even for me. The putting feel on these is quite good actually. Never had much in the way of distance control problems with them. A VERY solid 8/10 for me. The Sugar Golf Ball is manufactured using a proprietary injection-molded process designed to increase the durability of the urethane while maintaining a soft feel.Our ball features a soft and resilient core, a fast mantle to boost speed off the clubface, consistent spin / control, and a low-drag, aerodynamic, seamless dimple design. While I understand the appeal of a value-priced DTC offering that purports to be as good or better than the leading brand, the Sugar Golf ball simply does not live up to the billing. While it’s solidly average for weight and diameter consistency, it’s not only poor for compression consistency, it’s among the very worst we’ve seen to date. Eight percent of the sample was flagged as bad for significant layer concentricity issues.
