Where do you think the price point will be? How many layers and do you think it will be a contender for your bag?

It is a 3 piece based on the USGA conforming list.

I am guessing it will be a $35 to create some disruption.

With as crowded as the DTC space is at $35, I think you've gotta go under that, which then raises the question as to what PXG even is anymore as a brand. I wouldn't be surprised if we go to $30, playing below the Vice/Snell/OnCore price point for their higher-end balls.

I refer to one of the first threads I posted when joining MGS Forum... about ball logo dictating whether or not I could play a given ball.  In this case, my answer is no... for me.

I guess it depends on which market they are trying to court. As stated previously the direct to consumer market is crowded. If this is a ball on par with say OnCore Elixr, then they have to be in the $25 a dozen range. However, if it turns out to be a premium ball like OnCore Vero X1 or X2 then they need to come in at $40 a dozen. This might just be a small market ball to appeal to loyal PXG customers. Interesting move by the company.

Play like a champion today!

The only surprising thing about this is that it took this long. Hopefully my local rep will give me a sleeve to try.

Not really if you think about things over the last couple years.

One it takes time to design, develop and test a ball. Then add in the supply chain issues that occurred and how it was hard for all ball manufacturers to get the materials in to make a ball. Then consider existing large customers are going to get priority over the dtc brands.

Not to mention how many balls are on the market and that gaining market share is hard. Prior to 2015 cobra considered a ball but the smart guys like Mike Yagley convinced them to save the money for the exact reason of market share and how hard it would be to make it a wise investment

Going to be an interesting ball for testing. Price is right where many guessed. Nothing too crazy, but maybe more expensive than what many had maybe thought. 

If I find a sleeve I'll be sure to pick it up for purchase if anything to just see what its like.

Yeah, I was interested to see what they would offer.  Seeing it now at $40 a box I'm not really interested anymore.  There is a multitude of Premium DTC balls that can be had for this price or less.

Oncore Vero X1 and X2 come in around this price (X1 less if you buy two boxes, X2 same price if you buy 2 boxes).  I've really thought these Oncore balls were the best for me but I'm not really purchasing too often as I find the price creeps too close to Pro V1's.  I bought a bunch when they had Black Friday sale (ended up at $27/box), and hoping it makes me through the season.

Snell and Vice balls come in less than this as well.

At $40 for this PXG ball I'm not jumping to get any.  Might try it at some point, but the price point to me significantly lowers my interest level.

Like I said when this was first brought up, I think they've priced wrong... but it's going to be a middle-of-the-curve ball with a urethane cover at $40. For some, it'll be perfect, for others it won't.

I will say though, the journalism student in me who took some advertising classes for copywriting purposes loves the ad copy PXG puts out, it's always good for a chuckle.

With the Hero’s discount I was able to get a dozen at 34.99. That is worth trying the ball out. I have played OnCore X1 and X2. I like them. However, they both cost more so, it’s worth a try. I have also tried Vice and Snell, but I don’t care for their balls. I was a hardcore Pro V1 fan, but recently changed to OnCore. We shall see how these balls workout.
