As when buying clubs players are looking to fit their golf balls to the needs of their game and PXG’s second entry into the golf ball market is in the premium-price “tour ball” category.
Both the Tour and Tour X are three-piece urethane cover models with high rebound center and a more rigid mantle encased in a urethane cover of 338 dimples. The difference between the two is the Tour X has about 3% more spin off the driver and the tendency to produce a couple yards more carry plus a firmer feel compared with than the Tour.
“The launch of our first golf ball was a huge success,” said PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons. “Now, we’re taking it to the next level with the introduction of the new PXG Tour and Tour X golf balls. With these options, golfers can confidently be fitted for and choose the ball that best fits their playing style and performance goals.”
