2) Amazon Basics Core Soft Golf Balls

It is 1994, Jeff Bezos is about to launch Amazon, you are sat having a coffee with him discussing his plans for the soon to be online book store and he says – By 2025 we want to be supplying, direct to golfers, an Amazon golf ball that can be delivered next day at a click of a button.

Well, fast forward 30 years and this is exactly what Amazon are doing – the Amazon Basics Core Soft golf ball is now available in the UK and US.

If you wished to try out the Amazon Basics Core Soft golf ball you could get it delivered to your door step tomorrow, in the typical Amazon packaging (above).

Priced at under £18/$15 per dozen it can be seen as a challenger in the budget and beginner’s ball category.

In recent years, some of the most popular balls in these categories have been the Kirkland Signature , Seed and Vice golf balls. Kirkland are known pretty much solely as a high performing budget ball which is only really available at Amazon. Vice offers a wider range of balls and can be purchased direct from the Vice website as well as off Amazon. Seed is pretty much direct to consumer and can be purchased from the Seed website.

It will be interesting to see if Amazon, similar to Kirkland, look to dominate the budget category or in time look to offer a more premium ball, similar to Vice and Seed.

3) Seed SD-01 The Pro One- 3-piece Urethane Premium Golf Ball

Jack Backhouse reviews this golf ball and commented – Overall, the Seed SD-01 is not just a budget alternative, I think it’s a legitimate contender in the premium golf ball market. From spin and feel to distance and control, it delivers everything a serious golfer could want. If you’re chasing tour-level performance without the tour-level price, the SD-01 deserves a place in your bag.

If you are looking for a new shoe for the Spring/Summer I would seriously consider the PAYNTR brand. What’s more if you get lucky with your size and colour preference there are some great deals to be had – read on to find out more.
