It’s next to impossible to identify the current top-selling direct-to-consumer golf ball brand but I don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest it was Snell Golf that was first to effectively reach the masses with the message that golfers don’t need to pay big OEM prices for quality performance golf balls.
Spoiler alert: That’s still true with the new Snell MTB Prime and MTB Prime X golf balls. We’ll get to those in a minute but feel free to skip ahead if you’re not interested in how we got here.
Kicking in the door for DTC ball brands
Dean Snell’s pedigree as a co-inventor of the Pro V1 and numerous TaylorMade golf ball technologies brought credibility that others in the DTC space lacked–and the market was ready.
Timing, as they say, is everything. “We stepped into it at a decent time and created a niche,” says Snell.
Whether Snell is the largest DTC brand, I can’t say. That it’s beloved by many golfers for its quality products and sensible prices is inarguable.

(Frisco, TX) Today in a joint press release, the PGA of America and the LIV Golf tour have announced a new inter-league matchplay competition. Following the international success of the Ryder Cup and the President’s Cup, both leagues hope that the new Odium Cup competition will garner a similar level of popularity. The underlying hope is that this new tournament will also be the first step toward improving relations between the two leagues.
The Odium Cup is named after professional golfer Connor Odium.
Odium was a prolific golfer from the early 20th century who became famous for playing on all existing golf tours at the time. While originally from Wyoming, Odium often described himself as a “citizen of the golf course.”
“We felt that Odium exemplified everything that is happening in professional golf today. We wanted to show golf fans that the LIV and PGA tours are not fractured, but whole. Ultimately, this event will allow the tours to stop the arguing, and make a statement by playing with their balls instead.”
