ELIXR

The flagship in high performance for OnCore is the ELIXR™ tour ball. It is a 3 piece ball with a urethane cover.

My testing indicated that all of these goals are true.

CALIBER

The most interesting golf ball I may have tested so far is the CALIBER ball from OnCore. It was most interesting because of the hollow metal ball in the core instead of a typical rubber compound.

AVANT

The OnCore AVANTis a low compression ball with SoftCell technology. I’ve hit many low compression models before and the soft feel is much the same in most of them. The feel of the AVANT is best described as a marshmallow. I saw a drop in driver distance, but a gain in iron distance. The key to this ball is the really low spin.

The price is right

The ELIXR and Avant balls are also very affordable, which is one of the ways you get consumers to switch. With retail prices on the ELIXR at $35 and the Avant around $20, it makes both balls immediately competitive, especially when you consider their performance.

Can a golf ball last forever?

Of course, no golf ball can last forever. While losing the GENiUS ball is unlikely due to the GPS, the cover of a golf ball will ultimately have a shelf-life with no manufacturer yet to come up with a casing—the GENiUS has a durable urethane cover—that won’t eventually damage.
