Mizuno RB Tour and Tour X Golf Balls

Product Information

The parameters for each portion were decided on after consulting with multiple ball manufacturers. The specific configuration for each test condition (including the clubs used) is detailed in the relevant sections below. With the exception of the 83-compression MG C4, the lowest spinning balls are all sub-75 compression offerings. While ball manufacturers often differentiate between driver and iron/wedge spin, the reality is that, if a ball spins of a driver, it’s going to spin off irons and full (and even partial) wedge shots, too. RXS: The softest option of the four caters to average-swing-speed players who want to maximize their short-game spin. When you’re trying to make improvements that golfers with the fastest swing speeds will notice, aerodynamics is important. The flatter-bottom dimple here helps initial launch speed and maintains flight at the slowest speeds downrange to optimize distance.

The balls that were high spinning off the driver (most notably the Kirkland Performance+ and Mizuno RB Tour X) are also spinny off the irons. While there’s not a ton of separation under the conditions tested, the VICE Pro Soft, VICE Pro and Bridgestone TOUR B RXS flew the highest among the top 10.As you would expect, most of the balls in this test qualify as average when it comes to greenside spin. 4. Don’t Overlook DTC and House Brands The 2021 MyGolfSpy ball test was conducted at Scottsdale National Golf Club. Testing took place over five days and included nearly 60 hours of test time. In total, the robot hit just under 4,500 shots. We tested 37 premium balls models (35 of the most popular urethane offerings, refurbished golf balls and Pinnacle range balls). So yes, putting is a major factor, but I have adjusted to it and have found my new play ball. Not hurting my hand, giving great distance and accuracy, and now improved putting is obviously nice. (Nope, the BX is too hard for me and I feel it in my hands.) The LA Golf ball was the longest under the conditions tested, followed by Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash, Titleist AVX, and TaylorMade Tour Response.

Our recommendation is to play 100 percent of your shots with the same ball (model). Given the variation between models, it only makes sense to minimize every variable you possibly can. Below you’ll find we’ve broken this article down into distinct categories to help you find the best golf ball for your game. Feel free to skip ahead or scroll on to learn more about that test, methodology, and key findings. By nearly any reasonable compression comparison, the RB Tour X qualifies as a firm ball. Compression Comparison Chart The point is that a golf ball can fly any number of ways that defy the limitations of simple descriptions like “low”, “mid” and “high” so, when looking for the right ball, it’s important to consider the full flight of the ball. Core color consistency was generally excellent. There are some visible bits of regrind which was common across our entire sample. We didn’t find any miscellaneous chunks or anything else unusual or out of place. CoverThe comments here on refurbished balls (“we highly recommend avoiding refurbished”) are useless. It’s like a teenage male going on one date with a single girl when he was 14 and the same girl again on a break from college and extrapolating the experiences to all women – it’s The wedge portion of the test was designed to replicate a greenside shot of 35 yards. Rather than calibrate to specific launch and spin targets, we configured the robot to hit the calibration ball approximately 35 yards (total). Test Parameters Like last year there are three flavors to cover every driver need: Stealth 2, Stealth 2 Plus, and the Stealth 2 HD.
