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. Premium 3-piece urethane golf balls. Manufactured at the same factories as the big brands you already know… sold to you at the lowest price on the market. If you’re looking to save money on a multi-layer urethane offering, there are numerous better direct-to-consumer options available. The Good Off the tee the ball is more than up to the task of providing ample distance. It compared favorably and sometimes better than others I tried both the TP5x, Tour B RXS and RX. No complaints here. Spin around the green is…. Exceptional. This ball will drop like a dime onto any green you can hit. So if you spin the ball too much? This may not be the ball for you as I have no trouble getting it to hop and stop even on partial-feel wedge shots.”

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. Okay, so if you look at it across the board, the 2 balls were very similar. According to the machine, I do get slightly better carry, speeds, and overall distance but it is pretty close and I think that you really don’t lose much if you are using a Sugar ball. And I like the way the ball feels, it is very similar to the ProV1. Tester tbarnes80 went straight to a simulator with a launch monitor to get comparisons. He alternated between the Sugar and Titleist Pro V1 with several clubs and had interesting results.

I have a VERY modest swing speed usually only topping out at best low 90s on driver. Irons are in the 70mph to 80’s Id suspect. I had zero issue getting these to spin around the green or with longer iron shots. So this being a par 3/4 course mostly par 3... you get to hit a lot of shorter shots. Spin on these? Fantastic. I also EXPECT that from a urethane cover ball as well. Quite like the short wedge spin these can give. Now this is just watching when the ball hits the green and not quantified by any actual number. It reacts similarly to my bridgestones when i strike them well. It’s an understatement to say the original Sugar Golf ball did not have the best scores in the MyGolfSpy Ball Lab Series. In fact, the original Sugar Golf Ball was one of the lowest-ever rated balls in the series. However Sugar aimed to change this with the release of the new Sugar Pure G2 Golf Ball stating significant improvements in all areas. It doesnt matter what magic bullshit marketing a ball promises. If you dont STRIKE THE BALL well... none of the marketing wank matters or the cost for that matter. In practice, I’ve found that the ball plays well. I get good distance off the tee, with somewhat less roll-out than with a Pro V1 or Vice Pro. I think it climbs faster than either of those, which tells me that for my swing, it has more spin. That also explains the shorter roll.

Played several different balls ever couple of holes. First three holes TP5X, next 4 Sugar, last 3 Bridgestone. Not shabby for almost entirely missing the face and the first and ONLY time I got to hit driver on this course. So a sample size of 1... please stand up. You are not the real slim shady. Need to get a few more good strikes to get a good litmus on it still. So this is tough because I have really liked using these Sugar Pure Golf Balls, they are really a high quality ball that I think the vast majority of golfers would enjoy and get great performance from, especially on and around the greens. I did use them in a couple of tournaments and ended up playing pretty well with them. But maybe it is just what has been pounded into my head that the ProV1 is the best ball on the market that I still just feel a little more confident standing over one. The numbers bear out in the simulator and my scores on the course, so maybe there is something to it. But the differences are negligible and it is really a good ball. Ball Flight – I usually prefer to play a slight draw with my ball flight but did have some shots that required moving the ball the other way. Not sure if it is just a comfort thing because I have played with the ProV1 longer, but I hit the ball consistently closer to the pin and had fewer mishits with it. Both balls are very workable and I don’t feel any hesitation trying to move either of them one way or the other.

Consistency

I have talked previously about the looks and aesthetics of the golf ball but it bears bringing it up again -- these are very attractive golf balls. I really like the modern update to the number placement. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to MyGolfSpy for providing me with the opportunity to test and review the Sugar Pure golf balls. I can't think of any other community that is giving out product for their community to test, it's pretty amazing! As a first-time tester, I'm excited to contribute to the MyGolfSpy community and share my impressions with the Sugar Pure golf balls. As mentioned, Sugar golf balls come in cubes of 27. This was something that our testers were curious about with tester PhilM75072 mentioning the following about his unboxing experience.
