Sugar Golf | 2023 G1 | 27 Balls | 3-Piece, Premium Urethane - White

Product Information

I have talked previously about the looks and aesthetics of the golf ball but it bears bringing it up again -- these are very attractive golf balls. I really like the modern update to the number placement. Some capture highlights from the round. I absolutely domed this ball off my driver crown and top of the face. This is pretty promising for honestly about as bad a mishit as you can get and still gain distance. Low spin perhaps? It went straight so thats all I care about. After playing some of the best golf of my life while testing these golf balls, I think it is clear that these balls are here to stay in my bag. The more I play with these golf balls, the more confident I get and by extension the more fun I have while playing -- which is an often overlooked part of this sport/hobby!

In practice, I’ve found that the ball plays well. I get good distance off the tee, with somewhat less roll-out than with a Pro V1 or Vice Pro. I think it climbs faster than either of those, which tells me that for my swing, it has more spin. That also explains the shorter roll.Okay, so if you look at it across the board, the 2 balls were very similar. According to the machine, I do get slightly better carry, speeds, and overall distance but it is pretty close and I think that you really don’t lose much if you are using a Sugar ball. And I like the way the ball feels, it is very similar to the ProV1.

With the balls unboxed and into the bag, it was time for our testers to get to the course and start taking notes on how they performed. And I received my shipment and am working through some first impressions and Day 1 at the course. I have lots of videos and photos that we are going to edit down, so please stay tuned for my thoughts. So far, I am very impressed! Additionally, many forum members were curious about the Sugar Pure golf ball and the updates to the new G2 offering. So we reached out to Sugar to see if they were interested in getting their new Pure golf ball in the hands of Forum members to test, review and keep. I found ball flight off the driver a little lower than other balls, but noticed no difference off the irons compared to the other balls I've used.

Conclusion

Ball Flight – I usually prefer to play a slight draw with my ball flight but did have some shots that required moving the ball the other way. Not sure if it is just a comfort thing because I have played with the ProV1 longer, but I hit the ball consistently closer to the pin and had fewer mishits with it. Both balls are very workable and I don’t feel any hesitation trying to move either of them one way or the other. Core color was generally consistent. However, we did note a swirly appearance in a couple of cores. In at least one case, the core variation correlated with a significant difference in compression. Cover When it comes to golf balls I typically play value/budget offerings like: Srixon Soft Feel, MaxFli StraightFli, Callaway Super Soft, and etc. The Sugar Pure golf balls caught my attention because they market themselves as a higher quality option, but without breaking the bank. While they are slightly more expensive than my usual balls, I am interested to see if the performance and feel they offer could be worth the upgrade.

I've been playing with the Sugar Pure golf balls for about a month now, and it's time for me to collect my thoughts, and render my verdict. I've put the Sugar Pure through 6 rounds of golf, 4 different courses, two states, numerous practice sessions, one putting "competition", and dozens of lost balls. Sugar squeaks out the win in Putting which lines up with my putting "competition" I posted earlier on 7/21. However, it loses out on the other 4 categories. Ive played since I was roughly a preteen and then maybe once or twice a year for the past 20+ years. I got conned, well maybe not conned... into joining a golf league and thats really when I became obsessed. Getting fitted for irons, buying other new equipment... becoming a regular in the CHA thread....

At the end of the day, we all agreed that the Sugar balls were for real. Soft without being mushy. Great feel. Nice spin when hitting into the greens. Whether hit with the driver or irons, the feel was simply really, really nice, and with the putter the results were very predictable. The towel is standard waffle pattern towel... though I'm not sure Ill be replacing my current one till its totally worn out. Sorry Sugar you kind of lost this round to no fault of your own. My cat however.... loves the towel. The hat is what I would call a shallow structured hat with a velcro adjustable strap and curved brim. It is made out of a performance like material and is very light. The towel is a tri-fold waffle towel with a carabiner to attach to a bag. I prefer a carabiner attachment for ease of on/off the bag throughout the round. While not the subject of this test, they were nice surprises.

I don’t have the skill level required to “work” a ball (yet). So that aspect I cannot speak to. Flight is high, but that’s more so a product of just my swing and club model choice.Skraeling gave it 79. He liked the ball overall and found good results but prefers to play a colored golf ball. Sugar’s 2023 Pure is the second generation of the Sugar Golf Ball. It is a 3-piece, multi-layer, urethane golf ball that brings tour-level performance to golfers with both fast and slow swing speeds.
