Why PXG Believes Its New Premium Ball Can Rival The Titleist Pro V1

‘Nobody makes golf balls the way we do. Period.’ Yes you heard that right, PXG has entered the golf ball market and has its sights immediately set on the lofty goal of becoming the best ball in golf. PXG sprung onto the scene in 2013 and immediately staked its claim as an ultra premium brand with punchy prices justified by extra performance stemming from a new level of custom fitting, a vast shaft matrix and dedicated customer service.

But with the release of the affordable 0211 line in 2022, which included the impressive 0211 driver, alongside premium Gen5 product, PXG’s strategy and focus became somewhat unclear. But with the Xtreme ball, it seems that PXG is once again targeting the premium space by looking to challenge the most dominant force in golf equipment – the Titleist Pro V1.

So what can we expect from the PXG Xtreme ball? The tagline ‘PXG has the one ball that does it all’ sums it up. The Xtreme ball comes to market as a versatile, premium ball offering tour-level feel and performance. The Xtreme ball has reportedly been in development since the brand launched and has seen rigorous testing procedures to ensure the user experience is up to scratch. It will certainly be interesting to see how this ball is received from some of its contracted PGA Tour players such as Zach Johnson and Luke List who have historically played a Titleist ball.

PXG has acknowledged when informing us about its new ball that Titleist has dominated this section of the market since Pro V1 originally launched in 2000, which is why it used this franchise as a benchmark when comparing the Xtreme. The Xtreme ball will look to fit in somewhere between the two main premium Titleist offerings in Pro V1 and Pro V1x in terms of its soft feel, although it will perform more closely to the Pro V1x with its higher flight characteristic. It will have a compression rating of 108 which sits in between the 105 rating of the Pro V1 and 111 of the Pro V1x.
