Seed SD-01 Golf Ball

Reviewed by Jack Backhouse

I have always been under the belief that spin control is one of the key markers of a high-performance golf ball. The SD-01 certainly excels in this area. During my 50-yard wedge shots, it consistently produced spin rates averaging around 8000 RPM which is a gold-standard benchmark among premium tour-level golf balls that I have tested previously.

Feel around the greens is another strong suit. In my opinion, the soft urethane cover provides a soft feeling off the putter and wedges, closely mimicking the feedback of the Pro V1. Despite its lower price point, there is nothing budget about how this ball performs in the scoring zone.

Off the tee, the SD-01 continued to deliver solid results, although it did not quite reach the very top-end speeds of some competitors. I was able to post a ball speed of 159 mph with a carry distance of 273 yards and a total rollout of 293 yards. While slightly down on ball speed compared to the performance seen with the irons and wedges, the overall distance and control were still impressive and I think are more than adequate for most amateur golfers.

Overall, the Seed SD-01 is not just a budget alternative, I think it’s a legitimate contender in the premium golf ball market. From spin and feel to distance and control, it delivers everything a serious golfer could want. If you’re chasing tour-level performance without the tour-level price, the SD-01 deserves a place in your bag.

PROS

Outstanding spin and control
Soft urethane cover offers excellent feel around the greens
Excellent value for money, especially in bulk

CONS

Slightly lower ball speed off the driver compared to top-tier models

Seed SD-02 Golf Ball

They certainly look the real deal. Seed doesn’t seem to have cut any corners when it comes to the looks and finish. Often when you pick up a cheaper golf ball, it doesn’t look right. The finish doesn’t allow the ball to sit nicely and the text looks cheap.

I actually found that this golf ball flew quite high off the tee. The launch angle was down but the peak height was up. The ball flew considerably higher than I thought it might. This is something that I was happy to see off my driver face as I needed a bit more height with my drives.

In comparison to the other tour Seed golf ball, the SD-01, I was able to squeeze more distance out of this. Coupled with this, the dispersion from front to back was still tight, so it really was a strong performing ball of the tee.

Overall, I was impressed with the performance of the Seed SD-02 golf ball. They really make you beg the question why us club golfers would go and spend over £40 on a box of golf balls. Seed has produced a golf ball that really isn’t far off the mark of some tour-preferred golf balls for half the price.

PROS

Very strong distances off the tee
Promotes quick ball speeds
Sounds fast of the club face

CONS

None

Seed SD-X1 Golf Ball

National Club Golfer and National Club Golfer magazine

Reviewed by Jack Backhouse

The first thing that stood out to me was the feel. Off the putter face and wedges, the Seed SD-X1 offers a soft, responsive sensation that I think players who favour feedback will appreciate. It doesn’t feel mushy like some other budget golf balls. In fact, I found there’s still a satisfying ‘click’ on well-struck putts and a confidence-inspiring sound at impact with full wedges. Compared to the Titleist Pro V1, it’s just a shade firmer, but the difference is subtle enough not to be off-putting.

Distance off the tee was competitive. My ball speeds were nearly identical to those produced by more expensive counterparts. The SD-X1 launched with a mid-high trajectory and, during my testing, displayed excellent stability in the wind, keeping its line impressively well. It’s not the lowest spinning driver ball, so higher swing speed players might see marginally more movement—but it’s not enough to cause concern.

Overall, the Seed SD-X1 might not unseat the Pro V1 or TP5 for elite amateurs, but it doesn’t need to. For most golfers, especially those who want premium feel and performance without draining the wallet, the SD-X1 is more than capable. It’s a golf ball that delivers where it matters, distance, feel, and durability all at a price that feels almost too good to be true.

PROS

Outstanding value
Strong all-round performance
Soft feel with good control

CONS

Slightly less greenside spin than top-tier balls
