PXG has made a return to the premium golf ball market with the release of two new balls, the Xtreme Tour and the Xtreme Tour X. In this review, we focus on the Xtreme Tour X, which boasts a three-piece construction featuring a polybutadiene core for high-speed performance, a firm ionomer mantle layer for maximum ball speeds, and a soft urethane cover for optimized spin, feel, and control. The white finish of the ball is particularly bright and appealing, with an alignment aid on the side to assist with putting accuracy, which is a great help for players in their short game. Additionally, the Xtreme Tour X is available in a bright yellow option for those who prefer a different color.
While the Xtreme Tour X has a firmer feel compared to other premium golf balls, it still delivers excellent spin around the greens and impressive durability, making it suitable for players who enjoy lengthy short game sessions. The ball speed is a key highlight, with an increase in speed compared to competitors and the standard Xtreme Tour model. The addition of spin and height improvements make the Xtreme Tour X a top choice for players looking for a ball that offers both distance and spin control. The impact of the Xtreme Tour X on performance is noticeable, with subtle improvements in spin and peak height that can make a difference in a player’s overall game.
For players who prefer a higher spinning ball, the standard Xtreme Tour may be more suitable, but both models offer similar performance in testing. As a family of balls, the Xtreme Tour and Tour X demonstrate PXG’s commitment to providing premium options for players looking to enhance their game. Priced at $49.99/£44.99, the Xtreme Tour X is competitively positioned in the market, making it a worthy investment for players seeking distance and spin gains. Overall, the Xtreme Tour X is a standout option for golfers looking to elevate their performance on the course and explore the benefits of switching to a premium ball.
