Legato LTX 3085 Golf Ball Review

- I have had plenty of request for this one. How does the Legato stack up on our ever growing list? Is it a Pro V1 Killer? Can it at least hang with most of the other D2C crowd?

Great review. Very thorough. You’ve got a new subscriber here.
Thank you very much. You as well sir!
Yay! Two of my favorite channels have found each other!
Gabe from Lets Play Thru uses a Legato ball.
Awesome. Thanks for that. I always forget 😁
Gabe from Let’s Play Thru linked to this review. “like, comment, subscribed”. Feeding the algorithm 😊 great review.
I really appreciate game for doing that. That's a class move from a class man. Thank you so much for coming 😃
Switched from Pro V1 to Vice Pro Plus. Switched form Vice Pro Plus to Legato LTX 3085. Legato is significantly better than either Pro V1 or Vice Pro Plus. Longer and straighter than either of those other two balls.
That's awesome. It's amazing how sometimes and underdog can come around from nowhere and hang with the big boys. 🤠
Gabe says it's a pretty darn good ball and he's been pretty accurate on a lot of his reviews
Awesome! What channel does he run?
@GolfBallAddict let's play thru is the name of his channel he's based in Florida and makes a lot of great content 👌 you always have great and insightful videos as well
Love my Legato golf balls. They have same day shipping in my area on Amazon.
Oh that's super cool. Nothing like getting it same day! :-)
Great review. I bought a dozen after seeing Gabe’s review awhile back. I like the low launch and had the same results with feel as you did. What really sold me originally was the price on Amazon prime.
Don't blame you at all. It's hard to beat that price especially with some of the deals people are getting
Great review!!!👍 I haven’t had a chance to play mine yet, tomorrow, so very excited as I need that spin for around these fast summer greens.
Also, these appear to go on sale during the big Amazon days as I purchased them for $24 a dozen. I’ll see if I need to stock up after my round.😊
That's amazing. That type of value is unheard of for this level of golf ball
Seems like a nice ball with some exceptions! Thanks
Anytime friend. Thanks for always watching and commenting. It means the world
I’m going to try a dozen and see if they are as straight as my Srixon Soft Feel balls. The Srixon and my STZ 220 Driver are amazingly straight! I do need something better around the green. This ball may work well, worth a try!
Awesome. Please let me know what your findings are. Also I love your driver choice as well. 😁
My experience regarding durability is that the ball nicks fairly easily. Otherwise it is a nice ball.
I might have to do some further testing. I did not come across this when I did my durability test. I'll keep an eye out though. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback :-)
Gabe at Lets Play Thru tested it against the Pro V1 one and it held it was comparable. I use it and love it.
I love Gabe's videos. Good stuff there. He even is a faster swing speed than I am and he says it still holds up. Which really shows how great the golf ball is
Hey this is the first time ever commenting on the channel I have been binge watching tons of videos. I find learning about golf balls interesting. I did have a question. I recently tried the Wilson zip which was 2nd on your top 100 list. I loved the ball it was great for a high handicapper like me. I got them on Amazon 24 for like 29.99. I looked ok Wilson website to see if they would have better deals and looks to me like they do not advertise them anymore. When I looked at the value balls section it showed a new ultra line for 2024. Would love to see a review of the new Wilson products and keep up the good work. Kinda sad to see them not continue the zip. Sorry for the long message.
No problem for the long message. Thank you so much for commenting and providing your feedback to help the channel grow.
I'm stuck in a weird spot with the Wilson zip. My fear is that they discontinued it. I wish Wilson would stop coming out with so many different models of their two-piece lines. I think they have like seven or eight right now, it's like a zip is by far the best one I've tested.
If that is the case and they do end up discontinuing them permanently, I will do my best to test the rest of the lineup and find the most comparable golf ball
Another great review. I know you said 85-110 and I am "barely" at the 85 range. Probably gonna stick with the Vice Pro Air and Srixon Q Star for now. Also trying the Mizuno Tour X u recommended.
Awesome! Please let me know any feedback you have after testing them. 😁
Love this ball! Saw the review from Gabe @LetsPlayThru so I got curious and wanted to learn more. Found your review and confirmed I had to try. One round my playing partner and I played and we are making it one of the 2 or 3 balls we play constantly. Performed fantastic in all facets for us. Thanks for the great review! P.S. Where did it end up on the top 100!?
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. It means the world to me.
I did not know about Gabe's account until it was recommended on here. He's got some amazing content and if he says it's good then it's good enough for me.
I'm so glad you guys like them. Hopefully it shaves a few strokes off here and there. I haven't named it on the top 100 yet but when I do I imagine it'll be pretty high 😁
I think these will gain more popularity, unfortunately that tends to lead to price increases. I love them and have been playing them for 7 months. I'd put them up against any 3 piece urethane out there. Great review as always. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much. Really enjoyed the golf ball. Hopefully they keep the price low because if they do and they continue to make improvements it could be a top 10 contender
I've played Legato balls for a couple of years. For about the first sixth months at their website they ran a BOGO free from their website. Occasionally from their website they will run that same offer. I think about the time you were recording this they were running a BOGO free at their website as a Father's Day promotion (ran it for about a week) and I was able to get four dozen including shipping directly from their website for $92.
One more note -- they run a program at the Legato site called the 'Dryve Program'. If you have a son/daughter playing in a competitive golf program (they list what they consider those to be, but the most inclusive one would be a youth in a First Tee program) then you can sign them up with proof of enrollment in the program and they will receive a free dozen Legato balls each monthy until they turn 18. And I might sound like I'm a representative of them but I'm not, LOL. Just really love their product.
This is really good information. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it.
I think that's awesome what legato is doing then. It's a great marketing technique but more than that it's just a great morally thing to do for golf
I'll comment the same as I did on Let's play Through. It's not a golf ball test unless you've also checked balance and consistency of golf balls. Sure it's $25 and spins great but if half the box is lopsided they're going to be a problem. I mean take a page out of My Golf Spy and the testing they do. It almost ruined Callaway's golf ball market when they exposed how off they were. Now Callaway X-rays their balls and you'd be hard pressed to find a ball that's not perfectly balanced from them. I worry less about 200 revs of spin and more about a ball that's heavier on one side missing just left of the cup from 10 feet. Golf is hard enough.
So I definitely don't disagree with this comment. It makes complete sense. However here's the thing, I don't have a budget or the resources to buy a full dozen golf balls every time I review one. Most the time I either buy a sleeve or sometimes I even just get a single ball. If that's the case, me doing the balance test really wouldn't do much.
Interesting ball for sure. What's your gamer ball at the moment?
At the moment I'm using the vice air.
If you play medium to fast greens 10+ on the stimp, you definitely want a true roll golf ball.
I definitely agree with this take. I've only played those type of greens a handful of times in my life
Amazon will put them on sale for like $24.99 sometimes.
I've heard about that. That's an absolute steal if you can get them for that price
@@GolfBallAddict I've gotten them for as low as $19.99 from amazon (with a one dozen limit, although was able to get one dozen white and one dozen yellow). Usually only occurs on some of amazon's big savings days, so it's worth watching what they sell for during prime days during July.
Because you're chipping on/to a mat, would that influence the spin at all than chipping on to grass? I would think landing the ball on a mat would make the ball spring and skid a little more. Just a thought.
This is a good observation.
The truth is, with an artificial mat you'll never get the same type of checkup as you would on grass. When I am chipping on to the artificial grass, I'm looking for how the ball reacts once it hits the turf. That's how I gauge how much spin and has.
Now don't get me wrong, there are golf balls that legit spin on that mat. However for the two piece models I always try to hit a cut or I try to close the face a little bit to see if the ball will bounce left or right. That's another good way to tell spin
Have you tested the Trust Brand from Amazon? Curious about those DC style golf ball
I am actually in the process of testing a couple of them now. Should be very soon
👏👏
Love to see it! Great job Legato I was very impressed.
Just got a dozen of these. They feel very tacky. More than any other ball I’ve seen. So much so that I think I’ll wash them off before using them. 😂
Tacky is not a bad thing. Nothing better than when a golf ball comes out feeling real sticky. Grips the green like you wouldn't believe! 😃🤯
Forget the tacky comment I made. These balls performed really good. I just got back from playing 18 with this ball. Shot 80 off 15 handicap. But the thing that amazed me was how much they reminded me of the ProV1’s I played like 8 years ago when I was single digit. Great distance, green side spin, and durability just like your review indicated. Will be my go to for the rest of the season.
That's awesome!
Did you share where this ball would fall on your ranking list?
No not yet. I've taken a break from adding golf balls to the list until I get a few more reviewed.
We just ran into an issue where because of the increased swing speed I now have, 92 to 97 mph, a lot of the golf balls we were testing this year were making it into the top 10 and top five. So just for the sake of collection pool, I'll probably do two updates. One halfway through the season and one at the end of it
I got some of these balls in off season to play this year and I’ve been impressed … for the price on Amazon of around $25 to $29 with sales for average golfers to slightly better golfers. It is a great value ball…. Good feel around greens good spin i’ve always played top flight gamer or chrome soft and E 6 Bridgestone balls …. I don’t use hybrid 3 -5 -7 woods great sticking to greens with low roll out unless you hit hit thin 🫣😂 🏌🏻♂️⛳️
Great feedback here. I appreciate you taking the time to share it. I was very impressed with the legato especially for the price
About 2 mos. ago Amazon had a one day sale on these for $19.99. I'm sorry I only bought 1 dzn.
That's an incredible deal. I can't imagine getting a three-piece everything golf ball for $20 a dozen. That would put it at the top if it's class for value for sure
How did you get only 7.5 yards difference between your carry and total on your driver? I usually see about 20-25 yards difference.
High launch in higher span will do that. To get 20 yards roll you have to be hitting the ball extremely low with a lot of topspin. I'm not that great of a player yet.
Must give these a try. Amazon actually has them on sale for $26.99 right now. 😮
That's an insane deal. Hard not to buy at that price
Let's review the Polara 75% & 50%
I'll see what I can do
Thanks for the review on the Wilson Zips, I've enjoyed those a lot.
Checked their website and discovered that they DONT ship to Canada and the price point was about $48 Canadian - now through Amazon, it appeared that they COULD ship them to Canada - however even with FREE shipping, the cost was almost $60 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, dont care how good they are, the cost is prohibitive 😖 Seems weird and costly. Will stick to my used Vice balls !!
Dang that's really unfortunate. It seems like they could find a cheaper way to ship it to Canada but I know sometimes different carriers are crazy with that., ☹️
How does it compare to the sugar golf balls?
We will find out soon. Honestly It's been a while since I reviewed the Sugars, but they are a really top quality design. I would say The sugar has the edge slightly.
Has anyone with very high club head speed tested ?
Can you be more specific on the swing speed?
Swamp Donkeys! Haha
I try to be funny every now and then
3085 means
3 = 3 piece ball
0 = basically nothing maybe replaces a - or /
85 = compression
I wondered if that was it. But what kept me curious was the zero.
They had another ball that was 4090 but looks like they discontinued it. It was a 4 piece 90 compression. A couple months ago it was still on Amazon but not anymore.
Not cheap enough in Europe
Dang 😥
It’s trash
Any particular reason? Or is that all you're going to elaborate?
