PXG Golf Ball

[scott406]

Just hit the Conforming list

If anyone has any info available on cover, layers, price or anything else, please pass along

I am sure the price will change weekly or daily for that matter

 

And some people thought PXG commercials were aggravating before

I'd play them if they were cheaper than the Maxfli Tour.  🤪

[Abh159]

I wonder if they'll be available in XTREME colors

[golfinbrad]

Not sure why club companies want to get in the golf ball market.  Way too many choices already.  I look at Mizuno.  Decent ball, but if I'm not going to drop top dollar to try a ball when you know Pro V, TP5, etc have already been proven.  If PXG handles like the clubs, they will run some crazy low sales.  Maybe it will work and I'll be wrong.  Not the first time.

$49.99 is the rumor

That is what I don't understand.  You aren't going to get guys to give up their current ball at $50.00.  My guess it will be $50.00 for summer, then a buy 2 get 1 free or even 50% special will run.  Could be interesting to watch how they work it.  With PXG there is always a plan.

That seems reasonable.  Regardless of what the official price is, the good news is that they're not made out of eggs so they shouldn't be much more expensive than the comparable balls on the market.

I frequently wonder the same thing. Regardless of what their marketing team tells us, these are not tour level premium balls so why the premium pricing? Same can be said for Wilson and Mizuno. Those balls are perfectly fine for the majority of casual golfers, but if they were really tour level then all of their staffers would be playing them.

 

However, I can't think of a single Mizuno or Wilson tour player who plays one of their balls. 

[McScoots]

Everybody makes golf balls like these. Period.

[SEP1006]

Yeh when PXG first hit the market Parsons was asked if PXG would ever put out a golf ball. His response was "No, you can't get a better ball than the Pro V".

 

Guess he changed his mind on that. Or Dollar signs may have changed his mind !!!!

Hopefully the R&D budget for this was taken from the commercial/marketing funding.

Pfft.  $25 or less, preferably $20 per dozen, and I will use them.  Otherwise, forget it.  Too many other options.

And not from the CEO's cough lozenges fund.

The entire market is overly saturated right now. There are so many ball choices between DTC, big brands, no names, used balls and then those guys that play golf just to go in the woods and walk out with another 10 balls over a round to make sure their next round is covered. But, PXG is so unapologetically themselves, which is why I love them, that I'm excited if they follow through on a release. My guess is a 3 or 4 piece urethane cover with some made up jargon that will sell like hot cakes to the rich boys. Or, they could market to the more cost effective golfer, too.

It's 3 piece, 1 cover with 338 dimples per the USGA Conforming ball list.

So it's a Sirxon Z-Star

 

 

Let me know when they go on sale

Which will probably be any minute now

 

 

[grochol17]

When you hit the ball does it yell "BOOM BABY" or do you have to do that yourself?

[Mitchell]

So is this yet another Foremost manufactured product?

Whichever tree it's in, on whatever course, in whatever country, that ball's definitely mine.

[cardia10]

$49 this week, $29.99 next week but always $60 shipping but hey, you will get a cool box. 

[LeftDot]

Probably going to be named something like "Thirty Aught Six" or "BMG" or "Lapua Magnum"

Don't forget if you want to get any sort of customization it will cost you at least an extra $25 per ball.

[Kmagnuss]

No actual screws in the ball?  There HAS to be a screw in the core at least.  We need an X-Ray machine.
