Hi Matt, I’ve been playing with the TaylorMade TP5’s for a couple of years now as I find them to produce consistent distance and great scoring iron feel and workability. I’m a 50 year old hitting of 6 and previously only used the Pro VI’s. Just find the TP5’s suit my game as I just feel more confident with them.
Matt just watched your video on the open qualifying. I say well done for having the courage to have a go . If people are giving you negative feedback its because they have never been there don't let them in your head . Great channel i watch you all the time
Best golf ball is the one that suits you. The one that gives you confidence. Over the years i've pretty much tried all the premium 'tour' balls, as well as the mid-range offerings. Never really got on with Pro V1's, and in the main played AD333's for years. Now switched to Q-Star, which i've found suit me better off the tee and give me more confidence from 100yds-in. Whether a ball is £15/dozen or £50/dozen, if its right for you're game its the right price.👍
I tried them a few weeks ago. My swing speed is a little bit on the lower side (90-95). I hit a soft ball 10 yards further but I was totally unsatisfied with the spin and control hitting into the green with a 6-P iron. I played VICE PRO SOFT and I was not 100% convinced. I tried the INESIS 900 TOUR and I was immediately pleasantly surprised. Feels softer than it’s probably is but the control and back spin around the green is fabulous. My ball was consistently a little short (until 1 foot) of my pitchmark (even with a 7 WOOD). I’m playing this ball this season and it doesn’t break the bank.
Very interesting. A few more questions I'd like answered before making the switch. Is it as durable as the ProV1? Does it only last 3/5ths as long as a ProV1? What about consistency in manufacturing.... are they all identical or is there an unacceptable amount of variance from ball to ball. There are many balls that can match a ProV1 for a few shots. Need to see what happens to the ball half-way through a round.
Would love a review of the inesis v titleist v Callaway v Srixon from 150 yards in or something of that ilk. Including around the greens, bunkers, long putts etc to see if the good feel translates to them shots or if it feels too clicky/springy and so on.
Good stuff! I wonder how well they would fare as far as dispersion, the PV1s almost always win the dispersion test in robot testing, like the ones done by MGS and Today's golfer.
Would love to see a review of the more budget friendly offerings from the big brands like the Supersofts, AD333s and Tour Soft/Speed etc. Probably worth comparing against the ProV1 as well. Someone else in the comments has mentioned the Seed balls as well, I'm intrigued by those too.
Would be great if you could review the Seed golf ball and perhaps the Snell golf ball. I try and find good deals on balls like these as an amateur, beginner golfer. I still want stable performance but know I'll lose some or alot.
Bought these today at local decathlon to test them. First test was only putting, but I like the soft feeling. Will test them tomorrow for short game and more. Thank for your comparison vid!!! They were 35 Euros in Germany, while decathlon sells ProV1 for 67 Euros. So Inesis Tour 900 is nearly only half the price
All well and good Matt, which ball will you actually play. Most amateurs swing below or just about 100 with driver, not enough to compress a ProV1. I use Callaway toursoft, age 67 still drive 245 carry, ProV1 isn’t as long. My fitting pro, couldn’t believe it when in the sim, he gave me a new ProV, i hit 10, then i produced the Callaway and out drove the ProV with every shot. He now recognises compression in a ball is important to consider when selecting your ball.
Decathlon are doing some great things in their golf section……. Beginner golfers can start with premium performance and feel on a starter budget. And why would you change lol👍😂 Big names in golf are really gonna struggle soon. And if Kirkland bring out a brushed satin version of their new irons I’m having them fitted….. 😘
Just watching it, kind of interesting. Thanks. Really is there that much difference between them? And that’s just based on your data, which by the way is amazing. You are a very skilled golfer. 280+ carry is no joke.
First time watching and although a good comparison strategy, surprised that you never gave detail on the condition of the balls after being hit a few times; this would have a major impact on the cost of ownership factor.
Been saying this for ages,the inesis ball has a superb feel off the clubface. It feels like you’ve struck it, it’s also good for the short game imo. Even their cheaper ball feels better than comparable priced balls
Not sure its a fair test as the prices don't tally up, the kirky is miles cheaper so saying it's not good is unfair, for the price its the best ball on the market its cheaper than an inesis seed and many other balls. Atleast gove it the credit its due keep up the otherwise great vids and all the best Matt good luck in your future endeavors
I am not carrying my driver 280, is more like 240 with the kirklands, so i am a only losing about 6 yards if the math checks out, but I am getting almost 4 dozen balls for the price of a dozen ProVs, I feel ok about that.
What if he said budget performance ball? I get his point. Im not going to play a Real budget ball because of the performance. However, I'd like to pay less than Titleist money for a nearly similar ball.

Inesis coming out with 1.47 smash factor and the Kirkland with 1.45. It's just a less efficient ball off the face. You can be kind and throw 2 yards to the Kirkland for the .8 missing club head speed, and it's still 5-6 yards shorter than the other balls. Now the Kirkland is still the best ball for people who tend to lose a lot of balls, but still want good spin and feel around the greens.
If you're on a budget why you even be considering prov1? You can get 2022 tour B x for 29.99 this season, there's always a new deal out there on premium balls
Listen you cam review all the balls under the sun there is no way any ball will replace the prov1 and for £15 off a differnece its not worth comprising for 15 quid
I perfectly understand that pros do not change because they are used to ProV1 but for new golfers, it is very likely that they will see zero difference between these balls.

Fully agree about the TP5. Especially with irons.

I’d suggest you try titleist trufeel balls. £22 a dozen and perform really well. Give them a try and see what you think
Love the studio! So excited to see the most funnily poetic golf youtuber grow their channel! Keep up the great content!
Would love to see a review of the titleist Trufeel vs pro v1 and Ines is tour balls

Saw the review, bought some. Tried them. The feel is amazing, unexpected. Really enjoyed them, thanks Matt
I look forward to trying one when I find one at my golf club. It’ll make a nice change from always finding Srixon Distance balls!!
A review of the Cavell golf balls would be great. Made in the UK. 3 and 4 piece ball available for £23.99 per dozen on Amazon. Cheers.
A review of the Seed balls would be good!

Please could you look at the feel around the greens, chipping and putting review would make it interesting as an overall alternative
35 Euros here in France! Plus delivery!! And Decathlon is a french owned company.🤨Might as well go the extra and have the Titleist's.
There are decathlon in uk… But I guess you prefer them to be produced in China…And pay more
Pro v1s are 65eur in france.
@@Jean-c7p What the hell are you talking about?
Andy Carter and Matt Fryer v. Rick Shiels and Peter Finch since Fryer and Carter whipped the other 2 at qualifying.
Good stuff! I wonder how well they would fare as far as dispersion, the PV1s almost always win the dispersion test in robot testing, like the ones done by MGS and Today's golfer.

"only" half the price? In which world half the price is not a crazy difference?
@@FGGiskard I never said, that this is not a crazy difference. Maybe I used the wrong word with only, but thats the way we say it in Germany...
@@mikex8537 My excuses then, I definitely misinterpreted your message.
Good review Matt. I hadn't heard of Inesis prior to your video. I'll check them out the next time I need golf balls.
Can you review some mid range balls Matt?
All well and good Matt, which ball will you actually play. Most amateurs swing below or just about 100 with driver, not enough to compress a ProV1.

He now recognises compression in a ball is important to consider when selecting your ball.
You went to a "fitter" that didn't previously recognize compression? Lol, what? What am I missing here?
Decathlon are doing some great things in their golf section……. Beginner golfers can start with premium performance and feel on a starter budget. And why would you change lol👍😂
Big names in golf are really gonna struggle soon. And if Kirkland bring out a brushed satin version of their new irons I’m having them fitted….. 😘
£30 the same as Wilson triad, a review between the 2 would be good
How about with short game shots? How does this Inesis perform against the ProV1?
Also would like to see the new Vice balls in a review
How does the 900 perform from 100 yds and less. Good stoppage? Good for bump & run? Good chipping? etc. ....
How does the durability shape up? All very well having a cheaper ball. But if they scuff up after a few holes then you're not really ahead,
Just watching it, kind of interesting. Thanks. Really is there that much difference between them? And that’s just based on your data, which by the way is amazing. You are a very skilled golfer. 280+ carry is no joke.
I would like to see the inesis round the greens and durability test
What are the Inesis like around the green and out of bunkers?
First time watching and although a good comparison strategy, surprised that you never gave detail on the condition of the balls after being hit a few times; this would have a major impact on the cost of ownership factor.
Whats the difference with a 90 club mph speed? Do the distances narrow?
Been saying this for ages,the inesis ball has a superb feel off the clubface. It feels like you’ve struck it, it’s also good for the short game imo. Even their cheaper ball feels better than comparable priced balls
Try the wilson triads Matt
Test the Vice Pro Plus please.
Would love to know how these balls feel around the green and how durable they are. Pro V1's are virtually indestructible!
Wy dont you test the swedish golfboll hitpin?
Is the new chrome tour x really longer than the chrome soft x? That’s the comparison I want to see.
Not sure its a fair test as the prices don't tally up, the kirky is miles cheaper so saying it's not good is unfair, for the price its the best ball on the market its cheaper than an inesis seed and many other balls. Atleast gove it the credit its due keep up the otherwise great vids and all the best Matt good luck in your future endeavors
So Matt..did you play it in your Open qualifying?
How about a review of the AD333, please?
Review of the new Snell lineup would be appreciated
Sadly, Golf gear is not sold anymore on the Decathlon US site.
Loving the Yeti logo there Matt!!
I am not carrying my driver 280, is more like 240 with the kirklands, so i am a only losing about 6 yards if the math checks out, but I am getting almost 4 dozen balls for the price of a dozen ProVs, I feel ok about that.
great comparison but I would like to see the comparison around the greens CHEERS
Titleist will never be beat on sales as they include the refurbished/reissued/second hand balls in its sales numbers.
Would love to see something similar with the Vice balls.
Golf Ball Addict did reviews of the full line. Pro Plus the best. Cheaper Tour ball good also.
What about durability? Pro v1 last a long time. If you don’t loose balls go with the prov1s. I’m not particularly long but almost always in play.
So what I took away from that was value for money the Kirkland is fantastic and Inesis is pretty good.
cavell golf balls amazon, 3 or 4 piece
Driver Spin rate is negligible difference, how can you say that kirkland spin rate is too high!?
I need to know what ball is the easiest to find in the rough
I’ll let you know when I find one 😂
Not for sale in the USA it seems.
Yes but are they as good as Penny Aces
If I buy 5 dozen Vice Pro it’s cheaper and really good ball I find
Tried them and they aren’t a patch on a prov1.
Check out golf ball addicts opinion Kirkland/ pro v
Conclusion unless you are a golf pro or single digit handicapper, given the minimum difference, inesis is the ball
As a laugh, can you test the PGM balls from Temu?
In my opinion. £30 is not really a budget ball.
What if he said budget performance ball? I get his point. Im not going to play a Real budget ball because of the performance. However, I'd like to pay less than Titleist money for a nearly similar ball.

The average golfer will not notice the difference betwern any of these balls
they will notice at the counter though
I'll stick to the used market where I pay around 40p per ball 😅, not paying new prices for balls I'm going to lose 😂
I think I found my next ball.
But your club head speed was fastest on the inesis. And slowest on the Kirkland. You should normalise for head speed
Inesis coming out with 1.47 smash factor and the Kirkland with 1.45. It's just a less efficient ball off the face. You can be kind and throw 2 yards to the Kirkland for the .8 missing club head speed, and it's still 5-6 yards shorter than the other balls.
Now the Kirkland is still the best ball for people who tend to lose a lot of balls, but still want good spin and feel around the greens.
Great video though
Screw the ball reviews, where's the hole in one !?!!!!!! 🤣
👀 keep your eyes peeled today on the main channel. We spoke about it on the podcast channel released today too The Matt fryer Golf Podcast on RUclips
Decathlon are getting serious
For the price, I'd go kirkland all day
At my level kirkland is rhe choice.
Times are gone where 50 pound were 70$....
Inesis balls are getting too expensive
No thanks. Took me long enough to accept that the Seed ball was worth a go.
Shock horror. People pay for a brand name :)
You can play great golf without a 55 dollar a dozen balls
If you're on a budget why you even be considering prov1? You can get 2022 tour B x for 29.99 this season, there's always a new deal out there on premium balls
🐰
Listen you cam review all the balls under the sun there is no way any ball will replace the prov1 and for £15 off a differnece its not worth comprising for 15 quid
Great idea, now go ahead shoot 120+ with your prov1s
😂😂😂 a guess your still being breast fed
Are you on tour
@edanzore no just not a miserable c u n t
Legatos are better, prove me wrong.
Once you can take the ego out, you can play other balls
Spoiler: Budget balls do not kill the pro v1
I perfectly understand that pros do not change because they are used to ProV1 but for new golfers, it is very likely that they will see zero difference between these balls.
I tried them a few weeks ago. My swing speed is a little bit on the lower side (90-95). I hit a soft ball 10 yards further but I was totally unsatisfied with the spin and control hitting into the green with a 6-P iron. I played VICE PRO SOFT and I was not 100% convinced. I tried the INESIS 900 TOUR and I was immediately pleasantly surprised. Feels softer than it’s probably is but the control and back spin around the green is fabulous. My ball was consistently a little short (until 1 foot) of my pitchmark (even with a 7 WOOD). I’m playing this ball this season and it doesn’t break the bank.😊
