Mizuno RB Tour and Tour X Golf Balls

Product Information

This the bread-and-butter driver option offering hefty amounts of forgiveness and is easy to launch while offering low spin. This is the model that should launch and spin in-between the other two, but it actually ended up being the lowest launching for me. It wasn’t by much, but I had an average launch of 10.2 degrees with a 10.5-degree head and the same shaft as the Stealth 2 Plus. The spin was a little higher but only by a very small margin, as I averaged 2,917 RPMs.

Even at relatively slow speeds, higher-compression offerings produced the longest driver distances under the conditions tested. On 55-yard wedge shots, the firmest balls are almost invariably slower (again, due to the comparably softer outer layers). You’re probably not going to buy a golf ball based on an additional 1 mph on a partial wedge shot but it’s interesting to see a complete picture of the correlation between compression and speed.Launch angle may not be something you’ve considered on shorter greenside shots but we do see subtle differences. Observations: The fastest balls at 85-mph driver speeds were the Maxfli Tour X, VICE Pro Plus, VICE Pro, Srixon Z-Star Diamond, and Wilson Staff Model. Also interesting that some of the softer models were faster/longer than expected. Lots of good options, it’s just finding what works best for you.

The fastest balls are, again, high-compression offerings. They include the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash, Maxfli Tour X, Srixon Z-Star Diamond, PXG Xtreme, and Wilson Staff Model. Since those humble beginnings, our endeavour has blossomed into a robust and trusted online retailer, representing the leading brands in the golf industry. We take immense pride in being your go-to destination for all things golf! On our gauge, the Mizuno RB Tour X has an average compression of 95. That’s the same general compression range as balls like the Callaway Chrome Soft X, Srixon Z-Star Diamond and XV (prior-gen) and the 2022 Bridgestone Tour B X. Great examination. There is no perfect test for all speeds and conditions. We all have to be aware that the desert makes everything longer and everyone needs to consider it. But that said this gives us an excellent look into the characteristics of these balls. The ONE thing that can’t be read into these results are dispersion in various wind conditions other than thinking that more spin can mean more dispersion but dimple patterns have a huge affect on this. This can also have a great affect distance. For most of the last two decades the Titleist ProVs were usually longer downwind than the others, but they had more side drift than others of similar spin from Bridgestone and TaylorMade, the ProVs were also shorter into notable winds.. Low-compression offerings dominate the low-spin end of the chart with the TaylorMade Tour Response being the lowest spinning ball in this portion of the test.Under the conditions tested, the list of longest balls off high-speed irons includes a mix of high- and, at least, mid-compression offerings. The fastest “soft” balls under the conditions tested were the Bridgestone TOUR B XS (kinda soft) and the TOUR B RXS, which is legitimately soft. The Wilson Staff Model (and Staff Model R), Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash and Srixon Z-Star were in the Top 10 for all three swing speeds. Without regard for distance, the TaylorMade TP5 and Maxfli Tour X were also notable for higher flight. The list of lowest-spinning models includes a mix of ionomer and non-Tour urethane offerings like the Callaway Supersoft, TaylorMade Tour Response, Srixon Q-Star Tour, Wilson DUO Soft and Titleist AVX.
