The PXG Xtreme golf balls are very strong performers.\u00a0 Tour-level across the short game and long game.\u00a0 Excellent feel.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

Over the last few seasons, PXG has been pursuing two goals: offering the highest performance gear in their 0311 line and delivering great value in the 0211 line.\u00a0 With the introduction of their new Xtreme Golf Balls, they\u2019re doing both things at once.\u00a0 PXG claims their balls meet or exceed the performance of the #1 ball in golf, all while costing $15 less per dozen.\u00a0 They also aim to simplify the buying process by offering just one model.\u00a0 Can this ball really be all things to all people?\u00a0 I tested them to find out.<\/p>\n

Feel<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to try to compete with the #1 ball in golf, you need to get the feel right.\u00a0 Few high level players are going to game a hard ball, even if it does perform.\u00a0 PXG knows that, and they nailed the feel.<\/p>\n

Off the putter, the PXG Xtreme Golf Ball is a dead ringer for the Pro V1x.\u00a0 It\u2019s soft while still feeling responsive.\u00a0 There\u2019s a quiet \u201ctock\u201d off a milled putter face.\u00a0 That same mix of soft and crisp is present with the wedges and irons.<\/p>\n

A Few Words on Testing<\/p>\n

Before continuing the review, I want to credit PXG for their commitment to publishing data.\u00a0 With almost every release, they\u2019re willing to share cold, hard numbers to show how they\u2019ve improved on previous efforts or how they compare to their competitors.\u00a0 That\u2019s true of the Xtreme Golf Ball, with PXG\u2019s site offering comparisons to the Pro V1 and Pro V1x in wedge, iron, and driver testing.<\/p>\n

The data they\u2019ve shared is taken from robot testing and, as I\u2019ll discuss, it differs from what I saw in a couple ways.\u00a0 This does not discredit either test.\u00a0 In fact, it\u2019s to be expected.\u00a0 Some golfers hold out robot testing as the be-all-end-all, but it\u2019s not.\u00a0 When you test with robots, you have to make numerous choices: club, swing speed, angle of attack, etc.\u00a0 The robot can recreate those inputs almost perfectly, but it\u2019s still just giving you data based on those inputs.\u00a0 My testing is no different: I report what a piece of gear does with my swing.\u00a0 My one data point is not any more or less important than the robot\u2019s or anyone else\u2019s.\u00a0 In the rest of this review, I\u2019ll speak to my data and PXG\u2019s, and you can make your own decision about whether or not to give their ball a try.<\/p>\n

Short Game<\/p>\n

One of the most exciting pieces of data shared by PXG is the stopping power they found in their golf ball.\u00a0 They report wedge spin that\u2019s slightly higher than both the Pro V1 and Pro V1x.\u00a0 In my testing against both new Pro V1 models [review HERE<\/a>], I found the PXG spun slightly less in the short game.<\/p>\n

Whether you look at my data or PXG\u2019s, it\u2019s most important to recognize that the differences are not huge.\u00a0 All three of these balls are peers.\u00a0 PXG\u2019s data shows they have an edge of about 100 RPM.\u00a0 My testing showed the PXG about 300 RPM behind.\u00a0 There are many possible explanations for this discrepancy, but the practical takeaway is that the PXG Xtreme Golf Ball has plenty of short game stopping power.<\/p>\n

\"PXG<\/a><\/p>\n

Long Game<\/p>\n

In PXG\u2019s iron testing, they found that the Xtreme Golf Ball produced spin rates between the Pro V1 and Pro V1x, carried slightly farther than both, and stopped just as quickly.\u00a0 My testing mirrored these results almost perfectly.\u00a0 The Pro V1x and PXG Xtreme produced almost identical iron spin numbers, both a couple hundred RPM higher than the Pro V1.\u00a0 Carry and total distances were not meaningfully different.<\/p>\n

Finally, turning to the driver, I found my biggest discrepancy with PXG\u2019s robot testing.\u00a0 PXG reported driver spin that was over 300 RPM higher than the Pro V1 and ball speed almost 1 MPH faster.\u00a0 In my testing, I saw equal ball speed across the three models, but the PXG was in the lower spin range alongside the Pro V1.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll reiterate, these are not big differences that you\u2019ll be able to see on the course.\u00a0 Unless you\u2019re an extremely high level player, you could play any one of these three balls and not know the difference.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

While this review ended up deep into the weeds, the big takeaway is this: PXG has built a golf ball that can rival the Titleist Pro V1.\u00a0 The PXG Xtreme Golf Ball performs well across all aspects of the game, and it feels great.\u00a0 Perhaps most notably, they\u2019re offering this ball for $15 less per dozen than the Pro V1.\u00a0 That\u2019s innovation that everyone can appreciate.<\/p>\n
