Guide Review - Srixon UR-X Golf Balls
The Srixon UR-X golf ball really puts the rubber to the road. It's 96-percent rubber, in fact.
Says Srixon: "More rubber in a golf ball means greater resilience. With the UR-X nearly all rubber, the tremendous resiliency of the ball generates increased ball speed and longer distance while producing exceptional feel."
This ball plays in the same category as the Pro V1x, Nike TA2 and U-Tri Tour balls. It's top-of-the-line, in other words, geared to the most demanding golfers.
And those golfers should be happy with its high-launch, low-spin qualities. The ball really goes ... yet also offers a soft feel and manages to hold the greens.
The UR-X is a winner for Srixon.
