Seed SD-05 Golf Ball Design & Features

The Pro Soft, as the SD-05 ball is named, offers a Super Soft feel and offers an alternative to the likes of Callaway’s Chrome Soft.

The SD-05 is a low-compression ball with an incredibly soft feel and produces a higher laugh angle and trajectory.

This model is ideal for golfers with slower swing speeds, and the softness of the ball means you can expect a high level of spin from short game approaches.

It is a three-piece ball with a 336-dimple pattern on a soft cast urethane cover with a soft feel rubber core and an ultra thin DuPont HBF mantle.

The SD-05 ball is available in only White but feature a black alignment line. There is no The Jack version of the ball, unlike some of the other models.

Seed SD-05 Golf Balls Review: Are they any good?

The SD-05 is one of the mass market options from Seed but it is one of the best sellers too and for a good reason as it suits a range of handicap golfers.

It is one of the softest options and performs very well on all fronts from distance off the tee to soft, spin rates around the green.

In testing, the SD-05 more than stood up to the Chrome Soft and Titleist’s Tour Soft on a lot of aspects and more than lives up to the hype as being incredible value for money.
