Seed have three elite level balls and this SD-02 model is the option of choice for golfers looking for a cheaper alternative to the Pro V1x and TP5x.

Exceptionally long off the tee thanks to a low trajectory, the SD-02 is also more reactive around the greens compared to Seed’s SD-01 and SD-X1,

We found this model to be very durable and less spiny off the tee, but offer more control in the short game than the other seed alternatives. For the money, they more than deliver the goods.
