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.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.

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.
