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