Snell Golf balls in Japan Big in Japan?

We have all heard the story of the legend that it is Dean Snell, one of the original designers of the PROV1 while at Titleist as well as the Penta and Tour preferred while at Taylormade. Currently Snell holds 38 U.S. Patents in golf ball technology and design.

Snell's mission is to create Tour-spec balls with the technology found in all the big sellers but at a much, much lower price. Creating a stir in the US is one thing, but in Japan- a very fickle and loyal-to-domestic-brands market, how has Snell Golf Japan faired in their first year in the Japan market? Dean is quoted as saying 'make the game more affordable, without sacrificing performance and technology.

What happens if your ball strikes another players ball? Golfing Rules, Seriously!

What happens if I ground my club in a bunker? The new rules of golf explained

In 2020, the US Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) made several changes to the rules of golf.

One major change was to the "drop procedure" when a ball is lost or out of bounds. Players are now allowed to drop the ball from shoulder height, rather than knee height, making the process more consistent and less prone to mistakes. Another change was to the rule regarding penalty strokes. Players will no longer be penalized for accidentally moving a ball on the green, such as when marking or lifting it.

Additionally, players are now allowed to repair almost any damage to the course, such as spike marks on the green. The changes also include simplifying the rules for bunkers, allowing players to touch or move loose impediments...
