Dean Snell is considered to be one of the foremost golf ball authorities.
With more than 28 years in golf ball development, 40 U.S. granted patents and a successful background in plastics engineering, after leaving TaylorMade (where he was VP of R&D) Dean founded Snell Golf, a golf ball company committed to developing premium golf balls at affordable, direct to consumer pricing.
Dean has been behind some of the most ground breaking golf balls - including the TP Red & Black, Penta (golf’s first five layer ball), Lethal and the TOUR Preferred line which are played today by Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Justin Rose among others. He also led the design of the Noodle, Burner, RocketBallz and Project (a), golf balls designed to perform for average players.
Snell worked closely with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Davis Love III to bring cast urethane technology into the golf market with Titleist Professional ball as a co-inventor of the original ProV1 and Professional balls.
