Snyder Tour Performance Notes
As a direct-to-consumer ball fightint to compete against higher-priced, tour-issue options, the Snyder Tour held its own in our testing, particularly in our driver and 50-yard tests. Driver ball speed, spin, and distance all hovered right around the average of our dataset. Meanwhile, 50-yard launch, spin, and roll were also around or better than average. In our 7-iron test, the Snyder Tour churned out slightly less spin and more roll out than its top competition, while delivering a little more distance.
