PXG launches Xtreme Golf Ball: “The one ball that does it all”

Published

on

PXG doesn’t believe you should have to choose between distance and control in a tour-level golf ball. It’s a bold claim, but that’s the message from the Bob Parsons-led outfit, who after a decade of research and development is today bringing a golf ball to market.

That’s right — a golf ball. There’s no PXG Xtreme and “PXG Xtreme X” or “PXG Xtreme Z.” It’s just the PXG Xtreme Golf Ball. And according to PXG, in the company’s internal assessments and third-party testing, performance is on-par with industry leaders in both the “spin” and “distance” versions of tour balls across driver, iron, and around-the-green metrics.

Again, it’s a bold claim, but when, in a product briefing, we suggested skepticism might greet the “one ball” announcement, PXG encouraged skeptics to put the Xtreme Golf Ball to the test and shared the graphic below featuring testing against the 2021 Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

“The one ball that does it all”

It’s worth stating off the bat (or Bat Attack putter, if you will), PXG is pretty tight-lipped about the technology in this golf ball. However, the company touts a unique 388 dimple pattern, which is designed to produce distance with the driver and high trajectory/optimal spin with irons and wedges.

Additionally, the three-piece urethane golf balls feature red, white, and blue layers to honor the company’s U.S. military heritage.

Further details on the layers below.

  • Core: High COR polybutadiene (a synthetic rubber often used in tires) core for high-speed performance
  • Mantle: A firm ionomer mantle layer designed to increase speed
  • Cover: A soft urethane outer cover for maximum spin

Speaking of the cover, PXG Xtreme Golf Balls feature an enhanced alignment aid.

What PXG says

“PXG is first and foremost a research and development company,” PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons stated. “Everything we do starts with a question, ‘Can we make a better product?’ For a long time, despite our best efforts, we weren’t sure if we could make a better golf ball. But we didn’t stop trying. Adding a new partner to expand our engineering capabilities and leveraging years of data and testing, we are pleased and proud to finally introduce a golf ball good enough to earn the PXG name.”

Availability, pricing

PXG Xtreme Golf Balls are now available at PXG retail stores, PXG.com, and over the phone with PXG Player Support. They will also be sold on Amazon starting in March.

Price: $39.99 per dozen.

    Anybody can make a good ball. Few can make a consistent ball. Their official marketing photo doesn’t even have a perfectly centered core.

    Article say 388 dimples, other reports, including the USGA, say 338. Typo? But I digress…$40/doz., I’ll give ’em a try.

      Looks similar to a Srixon dimple pattern. Sounds like a unique ball. It’s cool they are going for more spin.

GolfWRX Members Choice presented by 2nd Swing: Best driver of 2025

Published

on

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
