The New Nike 20XI golf Balls now launched in the UK
Today has been the launch of the next generation of golf ball technology.
Using a completely new resin core material we have moved away from heavier more dense rubber to a lighter faster material off the clubface, enabling the golfer to generate quicker ball speeds at impact. The added benefit of it being lighter means we can make it lighter at the centre of the golf and heavier towards the edges giving the ball a higher MOI, basically meaning the ball will not deviate so much on off centre shots, cross winds or directly into the wind, making it all round more penetrating through the air. Also a major benefit is we have managed to create a steeper spin slope through the bag, basically creating more spin with a wedge and less spin with a driver, compared to our competitors.
In 2000 Tiger won the first major with a solid core golf ball (previously wound) with the Nike tour accuracy (something we did not shout about enough), this is the next step in golf ball core technology, we have 15 totally dedicated golf balls specialists working on and researching this product for the past 5 years at our golf plant, called the Oven west in Oregon US. Here through working and experimenting with numerous potential new core materials came out with Resin as the core material ideally suited to be in the core of a golf ball. We believe none of our competitors will be able to produce this sort of material for at least two years, meaning we will lead the way in golf ball core technology for some time to come.
The quality of the product is proven due to 80% of the Nike tour staff already making the switch prior to Christmas, and we are confident everyone will be in it by the time the season really kicks off. Our new signing Ross Fisher is using this ball.
In summary – Why is it better than the competitors?
- Lighter less dense core – heavier at the edges = Higher MOI, more stable. (Perimeter weighted)
- Steeper spin slope – Creates more spin with a wedge and less spin with a driver
- More efficient manufacturing process – Less steps in the procedure – less variance in performance from ball to ball (more consistent)
- Faster Ball speed – Core Chemistry – Greater distance
RZN CORE = More Distance + More Control
