GolfSpy Barbajo Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wilson Staff is announcing a new tour level ball today: a re-introduction of the FG Tour Urethane - a 4-layer ball with a soft, cast urethane cover. Ricky Barnes will debut the all-new #FGTour Urethane golf ball this week.More: https://t.co/PuNhuPHkYk#AdvisoryStaffApproved pic.twitter.com/PP2g6ZUUKs— Wilson Golf (@WilsonGolf) January 18, 2017 Barnes will be playing the FG Tour ball this weekend. The new FG Tour Urethane lists for $44.99/dozen - Wilson doesn't have a formal release as of yet as this is a "soft launch' (get it??) for green grass accounts. It is available on their website though.

PlaidJacket Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I still have some older model FG Tour's and they are very good balls. I bought mine at a close out (super cheap) at Academy couple of years ago. I actually played one a week or two ago. However, at $44+ for a doz I'm out. My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I probably shouldn't do this, but what the hell. Costco's Ksig 4-piece tour level urethane ball is gone, and Wilson announces a new tour level 4-piece urethane ball. Huh! Never made the connection. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfspy_CG2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Very interested in getting some in hand. Heard from the rep last fall, that this would be a ball you definitely want to try, and he's not one always prone to hyperbole. Maybe I can score a dozen or so from him next week!!

BIG STU Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I probably shouldn't do this, but what the hell. Costco's Ksig 4-piece tour level urethane ball is gone, and Wilson announces a new tour level 4-piece urethane ball. Huh! Never made the connection. I was thinking the same thing when I read this a few minutes ago. You beat me to it though--- It is funny how old SMART minds think alike. Now it this thing goes like the K-Sig 4 piece ball does I may have to change my ways and pay $44 a dozen for them no joke and adapt to them.

BHLong Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I will try some as I've always been a fan of the FG tour ball (actually liked the original best). Will try a sleeve of these but the market is moving with Costco and companies like Snell and Vice putting out good urethane balls at a much lower price point.

Jiro Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Wonder how these would compare head to head with the duo urethane that run at $38. Looks like the difference is that the duo U are 3-piece.

Rtracymog Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm really looking forward to trying this one out. I love the feel and length of the original but I simply could not spin them enough on the short irons and wedges. I always saw at least 6-10 feet of rollout.

Looks like the difference is that the duo U are 3-piece. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy The Duo-U is 55 compression. Tour level balls are higher compression; the old FG Tour was 75 I think, so I would expect this new tour urethane to be 70-75 compression. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtracymog Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Anyone do any testing with these FG Tour balls? I've got 5 dozen ready to go, but I haven't been able to get out yet. The short game spin is what I'm interested in with these. The previous FG Tour was great in every category except spin. I couldn't get a full 60 wedge to not roll out.

Shankster Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 The last gen was much better to me. I don't like the new ones at all. Good ball, just not quite what I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
