Deadspin DS Tour Golf Balls Review: Are they any good?

The Deadspin DS Tour ball is an impressive option for the money. It is a mass market option similar to the Callaway or Volvik’s matte balls and an all-round performer.

It blends a good amount of distance from the tee with a soft enough feel around the greens and covers plenty of bases.

Suited to golfers of all swing speeds, you will find plenty of performance gains at a cheaper cost than some of the bigger brands. This is more than just a gimmicky release – although we aren’t a fan of the black balls.
