What’s new? How much do they cost? And how do they perform? Jack Backhouse brings you the low down on the new Ram Golf Tour Spin Golf Ball
Ram Golf have released new ball that might just be best in class at its price point. So how did we find it? Find out in our Ram Golf Tour Spin golf ball review.
This golf ball was a real eye-opener for me as to what a brand can produce for a really reasonable price. This ball is long from the driver and 7 iron, providing reasonable spin into the greens. It does feel firm off the wedges and putter, but if you don’t mind that it’s a great golf ball.
PROS
CONS
Out of the box, these balls feel hard. The Tour Spin is a three-piece construction ball with a DuPont Surlyn cover, and in your hands, it doesn’t have the same familiar Urethane cover feel golfers that use ‘tour’ balls are used to.
I do really like the black putter alignment aid Ram Golf have printed on the ball. It has 392 dimples which Ram Golf reckon is the perfect number to create a stable high flight and will lead to straighter shots.
My test of the Ram Golf Tour Spin golf ball started on and around the putting green hitting a variety of putts and chips. The ball has quite a distinct sound and feels really firm from the face, but doesn’t lack spin. A golfer could absolutely get used to the firm feel after a round or two.
My 50-yard pitch shots were pretty consistent at a good launch and 5000rpm spin. This is on the low side for a pitch shot for me but is still pretty good. What I did notice was how durable the dupont surlyn cover is, as after all the short game, there were barely any marks on the balls.
The 7 iron shots are where I really started to become impressed with the Ram Golf Tour Spin ball. 120mph ball speed for 175-yard carry are perfect numbers for me, and at just under 6000 rpm, I get a nice high ball flight and loads of control with my approaches into the green.
From the driver again, these numbers are brilliant! 164mph ball speed, 275-yard carry is great for me. I couldn’t comment on whether the dimple pattern actually gave me the long straight ball flight, but the shots I hit were great. You can’t feel the ball’s firmness with these longer clubs and full swings.

I would have preferred higher levels of spin personally for me to look at putting a ball in the bag, but this ball offers a lot to golfers for £13 a dozen. Yes, that’s right, £13 a dozen. There are no golf balls out there offering this kind of performance for that price.
If you are a golfer that like a firm feel around the green, doesn’t often need to play a spinning shot with a wedge into the green, and is looking for a stable trajectory with the longer clubs at a low price, do not look any further than the Ram Tour Spin golf ball.
