holy what is with this golf ball?

The ionomer recommendation at mid speed and the biggest head-scratcher of the test: nearly 90 compression, long, good spin everywhere except greenside, and comfortably the best ionomer ball on the market.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 2 cons
  • +Almost 90 compression, similar to a ProV, which is why it holds up
  • +As long off the driver as urethane balls, with good iron flight and spin
  • +Bespoke Titleist aero package
  • Greenside is a clear liability, as with any ionomer cover
  • $40 is a lot for an ionomer ball when Kirkland, Maxfli or Vice exist

For: Someone who has to play an ionomer ball and wants the best one.
