Snyder Soft Plus Performance Notes

Snyder Soft Plus posted the lowest overall Performance score of the 43-ball field. It had the shortest, and one of the flattest ball flights in the test.

That's not automatically a flaw. This is a low-swing-speed, feel-first ball, and its accuracy score lands in the middle of the pack (24th of 43). At $25 a dozen in bulk, it's also one of the cheaper balls we've tested.
