Mizuno Golf Balls Review - RB Tour + Tour X

When you select a golf ball in today’s market, there are two types to pick from. A golf ball that does everything well, or one that does one thing really well. The new RB Tour and RB Tour X golf balls from Mizuno fit into the first category in which they do many things well. Technology in golf is about materials and application. Mizuno has created a ball that is very close in many aspects to any other tour level golf ball on the market, but what makes them unique is the dimple design. As described by Mizuno, “The new Cone (C) Dimple is the result of 12 years wind tunnel testing at Mizuno’s MT (Mizuno Technics) test facility. The C-Dimple creates more trigger points to keep fast flowing air close to the ball’s surface for longer – simultaneously reducing drag, and strengthening trajectory.” The easiest way to describe them is like a cone with a flat bottom. The flat bottom is what allows the air to be disrupted as it moves across the surface, allowing the air-stream to move faster across the ball and create a more stable ball flight. The same technology is being used in drivers today. Looking at the crown of a driver, most companies have air trips to move the air faster along the surface to make the club move faster while in swing. They remind me very much of Cut golf balls.
