In an intriguing test of performance, Amazon's new golf ball has been put to the test against some of the industry's leading brands, including Titleist's Pro V1 and Tour Soft. Using a swing robot, the comparison aimed to evaluate the balls' performance at average-golfer swing speeds, providing insights into their distance, spin, and feel.
The results of the test revealed that while Amazon's offering holds its own in certain aspects, it still faces stiff competition from established brands known for their premium performance. Golfers looking for value may find Amazon's ball appealing, but those seeking the highest level of performance might still lean towards more recognized names.
This analysis is part of a growing trend where consumers are encouraged to explore alternatives in the golf equipment market, particularly as new entrants like Amazon disrupt traditional retail dynamics.
