Oncore Vero X1

Good morning fellow golf nerds!

TXG just released their review of the Oncore Vero X1 (with a nice little shout out to MGS's ball test and compression numbers). Since I couldn't find a thread on it when I made a search, I wanted to ask if anyone's used these yet? Any thoughts or opinions. The performance looks really good, especially at the price.

I tried these balls when they first came out and was pretty impressed with them. They did everything I needed them to do in a premium ball. I didn't find the price to be all that great of a value compared to a lot of other premium balls out there so I decided to stick with my Maxfli Tour CG balls.

I was part of Golf EQ's testing back in the summer and played several rounds with it as well as some dry-ball data collection. I think it's a great ball for a player needing to reduce their spin. Personally, it didn't work for me. I couldn't keep it in the air off the driver! My spinniest shot was somewhere around 1800 revs. Off the irons though, it's a monster. Towering shots that carried forever and (somewhat surprisingly) high spin around the greens. Honestly, if it had just a couple hundred more rpm off the driver, I'd game it immediately. We couldn't correlate any data to confirm that the 'perimeter weighting' made it more forgiving, but anecdotally I did seem to have more trouble working the ball (i.e. it likes to fly straight) which could just as well be because it's generally and relatively a low-spin ball. (Not Left Dash low-spin, but certainly lower than ProV1.)

If you do OnCore's ball fit quiz, you can get a discount plus they generally run sales and discounts periodically. I would recommend grabbing a dozen and trying it out.
