This advanced core design transitions from a soft center to a firmer outer edge. It delivers a responsive feel while enhancing energy transfer for controlled driver distance and consistent spin with irons and wedges.
Thin Urethane Cover with Biomass Material
The cover is crafted with a plant-based material blend that reduces carbon emissions while maintaining the soft, durable characteristics needed for premium short-game performance.
Spin Skin+ Coating
A specialized coating that increases surface friction, enhancing spin and control on approach shots and chips. It also helps the ball resist discoloration and wear over time.
