Titleist ProV1 & ProV1x

When thinking of tour golf balls, the Titleist ProV1 and ProV1x are usually top of mind. The 2024 balls have improved their performance with high gradient cores and high flex casing layers. Titleist’s flagship golf balls, the ProV1, are the most played model in golf and the preferred ball for players who like exceptionally long distance, soft feel and mid flight trajectory. The ProV1x offers maximum distance with higher flight and more stopping power, as well as a firm feel and high flight trajectory. And remember, the combination of a ProV1 and a Vokey Wedge can truly take your golf game to the next level!

TaylorMade TP5 & TP5x

The TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x have been around since 2017, but this year’s models are equipped with an all-new Speed Wrapped core and progressive 5-layer design, impacting speed, sound, feel and overall performance. The TP5 is intended for players who want to focus on enhanced spin and softer feel while the TP5x prioritizes ball speed and distance without sacrificing control. Pair the TP5 or TP5x with the 2024 TaylorMade Qi10 family for the perfect blend of distance and forgiveness.

Wilson Staff Model & Staff Model X

Wilson’s 2024 golf balls include the Staff Model and Staff Model X. Both golf balls feature a V-Cor unique core composition for greater distance performance and a 362-dimple pattern seamless urethane cover for shot shaping and stopping power. The Staff Model had a medium compression core for stability and control for players looking for maximum distance, while the Staff Model X contains a firm compression core for faster ball speeds and more spin off the tee for players looking for maximum speed.

Callaway Chrome Soft, Chrome Tour & Chrome Tour X

Not only has Callaway upped the game with ball technology in their 2024 Chrome Soft, but they have also added 2 new balls to their lineup: the Chrome Tour and the Chrome Tour X. Each ball is equipped with a new Hyper Fast Soft Core, Seamless Tour Aero aerodynamic package, and High-Performance Tour Urethane Soft Cover. Players looking for high ball flights with low spin and soft feel are best suited to the Callaway Chrome Soft, while the Chrome Tour offers consistently stable ball flights and the best balance of long distance and soft feel. The Chrome Tour X is best suited for players looking for maximum speed and distance, as well as spin and workability for the most precise iron and wedge shots. All three models are available with Callaway’s signature Triple Track, 360 Triple Track or TruTrack designs. Using a Callaway ball with a club from the Callaway Ai Smoke line almost guarantees you’ll find your sweet spot.

Srixon Z-Star, Z-Star Diamond & Z-Star XV

Srixon’s 2024 golf ball offerings include improved Z-Star, Z-Star XV and Z-Star Diamond lines. These enhancements feature a reformulated FastLayer DG core, which is soft at the center and gets firmer from the inside out, and New Spin Skin+ coating that increases friction leading to even more spin and control. If you are looking for maximum spin and unmatched stopping power, the Z-Star will be the best choice for your bag. The Z-Star XV offers the most speed while still enjoying greenside control, while the Z-Star Diamond is the perfect blend of distance and control. The Z-Star and Z-Star XV also come in Srixon’s Divide design, helping players aim more accurately and track their spin.

Bridgestone Tour B X, XS, RX & RXS

The REACTIV X System is the highlight of Bridgestone’s newest golf ball lineup which includes the Tour B X, Tour B XS, Tour B RX & Tour B RXS. This system increases distance, feel and control by combining the REACTIV iQ Smart Cover with the XCLRNT mid-layer for improvements across all ball models. The Tour B X and XS are both geared towards players with swing speeds over 105 mph, with the X offering additional distance and stopping power and the XS offering additional spin and a softer feel. The Tour B RX and Tour B RXS have the same features as the X and XS, respectively, but have been designed for players with swing speeds under 105 mph. All four of these models are also available with Bridgestone’s MindSet, a visual cue on the golf ball designed to help separate analytical thoughts from athletic performance.
