PXG enters elite arena with Tour and Tour X golf balls | First Look

Last year, PXG announced its intent to compete against some of the biggest names in the equipment industry with the release of its Xtreme golf ball. The offering turned out to be a preview of bigger things to come.

On Monday, PXG officially unveiled two more models to expand the ball lineup: Tour and Tour X. As you’d expect from something with the word “Tour” in the name, both three-piece balls feature a thin urethane cover, robust polybutadiene cores, and an ionomer layer sandwiched in between to decouple launch and spin at the top and bottom of the bag.

“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 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.”

While the ball constructions are similar, the Tour X offers a firmer feel, enhanced spin and higher trajectory than the Tour, making it a good option for golfers who require more spin and a higher trajectory.

The 388 dimple pattern found on the urethane cover is engineered to deliver efficient aero characteristics for maximum distance off the tee without affecting iron and wedge spin.

Both balls come in an ultra-bright white, as well as a yellow option that was created based on consumer feedback. The Tour and Tour X retail for $49.99 per dozen.
