After three years of rigorous testing and development, Mizuno has launched its new RB Tour and RB Tour X balls.
Following the success of the previous RB range, Mizuno set two research and development teams the task of enhancing the original design. 99 prototypes and three years of testing later, the teams came up with a perfect harmony of dimple configuration, construction, compression and cover design.
“The ultimate difference with the new RB Tour has been the time spent working on the prototypes – three years of player, robot and greenside feedback across every possible performance attribute – by our original ball group in Japan and a new unit in Atlanta, USA,” said David Llewellyn, Mizuno’s director of R&D.
The new range features the unique AXIAFLOW dimple. On full shots, this generates a higher driver flight and flatter wedge flight compared to other tour-level balls. The balls also feature a soft feel, as expected from Mizuno, as well as improved durability – a central theme of player feedback.
