Took your advice and gave these a try. About five more yards than my usual Calloway SuperSoft and a better feel on the green. Three rounds with one ball, three sand shots, and not a single blemish on the ball. I bought four dozen from Amazon. You are the best golf reviewer on the net. Keep up the great work!
The V3's are much better than the V2, and I loved the V2 BTW. The V3 is more durable, don't know what the other guy is talking about. The V3 is a great ball at an even better price.
They're £40 for a dozen in the uk, if i was spending that much on balls ild rather spend that little bit more for pro v1, the 85 compression of the legato is perfect though. Ill keep to the kitklands @ £28 for 24 balls, more then good rnough for me.
Might have to check them out. To be honest I have to get rid of (ie lose) a few balls before I can justify buying any more golf balls. I have about six dozen golf balls (5 dozen TP5s) so if I buy another box of balls I might have to eat them if my wife sees them. I don't blame her.
That name and logo are horrible. Looks like a Temu ball. So many similar performing balls from well known brands for similar price points that would go in the bag before this. If I found one of these on the course I would have thought it was similar to a Nitro and chucked it back where it came from.
Id love to see it against a Vice Pro Plus. I always had an opinion on Vice as being a cheap, crappy ball due to stigmas from other players. Gave them a try, and I love them. Far cheaper than a proV, and for my skill level, works great.
I'll take the Kirklands for price alone. Lose a little distance and spin a bit much, but I usually don't hit each one more than 10 or 15 times, sometimes a LOT LESS, before it's camping or swimming anyway. If I have to pay $50+ just to play, I have to save funds somewhere else and I honestly won't miss a few yards. I'm 60, play from the white tees and can still hit those Kirklands about 230-240. Good enough for me & my budget.
Been playing these for a year now. Excellent ball. They really jump off the driver yet spin and check around greens. Covers are durable too. They remind me a lot of the Z-Star in feel and playability.
Ball is the same price as the pro v1 here in Canada. Hell if I go to a certain course during the week it's $70 for a round and for an extra $20 I can get a dozen pro v1's
Love these balls! Have only played a single round with them and everything just feels great with them. I play really well with Prov1 balls and some other more expensive balls but this ball plays just as well if not better from the small sample size i've got. Even if it played just a little worse, the price point is enough to forget about any other ball! Thanks for showing us!!
I didn't hear much about centeredness of contact, other than smash factor....makes ALL the difference in the world! And he must own the golf course since he drove his cart right over the teeing area!! Sheesh!
Wow. You're really helping to provoke Acushnet to take this brand down out of the market! Seriously what technology do you think this Legato brand has? Do you think they own any patents or know how a golf ball is actually is made? Maybe good for the buck but will that be the same in their next batch coming in from Asia later this year or later? 😂😂
so like everything... non-pro/non pga tour cant take advantage of equipment and its all about preference. Balls for example can be better at higher club speeds than normal speeds.
Congrats on the weight loss, Gabe!!! So hard to do, especially as we age. Kirklands are my daily players. However, I just put 2 dozen Legato balls in my Amazon cart. Thanks for the heads up!
I was thinking, man that Gabe is a robot, also is that your own course, as I don't think I have seen anybody else out there 😂 joking aside great effort for comparison, keep them coming mate.
Weekend golfers shouldn't golfed with ProV's unless found in the woods looking for lost balls. LMAO... I bought a box of Legato. Gone in 60 seconds. LMAO
Shot a 74 last week with a range ball. So, there's that. Living on a course I find hundreds of new balls a year. About 25% are Pro V's, 25% Calloway's and remainder are what is on sale at the clubhouse.
That is my sweet spot for golf balls price, performance and price, plus yellow! I like my Vice balls...but I may have to cheat on it. I'll have to ping the Golf Ball Addict channel and have him do some analysis too.
Seems like this play pretty good. Through sam's club, I can still get my vice pros a little cheaper at $50 per 2 dozen (which is cheaper than straight from Vice). When the price goes up at sam's, I may need to search for a new ball. I wonder how well these Lagatos do with a higher swing speed.
I've played both and can't say there is a noticeable difference. In fact the only issue I have with the Amazon ball is they don't make a 75 compression like the Noodle for us very senior golfers that need a lower compression ball ..... hopefully soon!!!
I agree and disagree with your recommendation. Just played my first round with it and actually liked it much better than ProV1. Also felt it was awesome around the green, so kudos for your recommendation. Where I disagree is that it does look cheap and like a knock off, if they improved the logo font that would probably help. Great vid! ❤
Hi Gabe, I always enjoy your content. I have just watched your comparisons of the Legato balls to Calloway and Titleist. It looks like the Legato is a smaller ball in circumference, is this possible?
If your swing speed it sub 100, are you really getting the most out of a ProV or similar ball? I'd be curious to see some results with 115 speed and how durable they are.
Would be great to see you run the Legatos against the Maxfli Tour S. Thats been my ball of choice since it released last year but Legato is definitely something on the radar now. great stuff as always!
This is the only ball I buy, I started using them last year and like you said, I cant tell the difference. Why pay more for something and get the same performance. Great ball.
I found the same with ProV1 balls - the irons are shorter length than the TP5 but stop quicker. Will definitely give these a try - the price is great for a 3 piece Urethane ball.
I have played them for more than a year. I nevr payed more than 24 dollars for them on Amazon. They had them on sale for 19 dollars abox and bought about 6 dozen. According to My Golf Spy's compression chart the 2023 Pro V1 is a 87 compression and Legato is not on their chart but is advertised as a 85 compession.
Bought the yellow version of the Legato back in September for $19.99 a dozen. Price has skyrocketed right after that. Loved it too. Would be great if it was still that price though
In Canada the Lagato are 52.99 on Amazon so i might try them i tried the Taylormade speedsoft ink and scored some of my best rounds with it and was very surprised its a 34.99 ball here in Canada also like the TP5 and the Callaway ERC soft and the AVX and the Tour response stripe orange and the PXG Extreme all those ball i like and play well with so i will just get them when one of them are on sale great video by the way Gabe cheers from Vulcan Canada
It's no mystery to building effective golf balls anymore. Everyone knows everything. That doesn't mean you can just play anything, of course, but rather, it's perfectly reasonable to play a ball no one's ever heard of, provided you've confirmed that it performs. This video helps demonstrate that. Back in the balata/wound/liquid center days, Titleist was king. No one made a ball as good. But the internet blew that away, so much so that the professionals got wind of a solid-core ball that flew better, spun less off the driver, and held up well, the Titleist Professional disappeared almost overnight. Tiger with his Nike ball (Bridgestone, actually) sealed the deal, and the industry has never looked back. Now, anyone can make a quality ball. You, the consumer, just have to ensure you're picking one that actually does live up to the standards set by the big boys.
