The Pro X is the firm, high-launching member of Mizuno's Pro family. It gives you urethane spin and a steady flight at a price that undercuts most premium balls, though it asks for real swing speed in return.
What's new
Mizuno built the Pro X as a three-piece urethane ball and rated it X-Firm at 103 compression. The spec sheet lists a 12 percent thinner cover and a 6 percent thicker mantle, a trade aimed squarely at speed off the tee.
A 332-dimple Axial Flow pattern handles the aerodynamics, and the ball comes out of Vietnam. Within the family it is the higher-trajectory sibling to the Pro S, and it sells in the value tier for a ball that carries the Pro name.
How it plays
Value scores 8.9, its strongest number by a distance, and feel follows at 8.0. Around the green the urethane cover delivers balanced spin, enough to check a pitch without making it hard to judge.
Distance lands at 7.9 and accuracy at 7.8, helped by a flight that stays put in a crosswind. Durability held up well too: a 36-ball batch turned up only two bad balls.
Where it lacks
Long-game spin is mid-range, so a player who wants a long iron to stop dead will see a bit more release than a tour ball gives. Workability trails the rest of its scores at 7.5.
Compression is the larger issue. At 103 the Pro X needs speed to load properly, and moderate swingers will not get the full benefit of the core. Even for a fast swinger, it trails several 2025 balls on ball speed.
“Real urethane spin at a fair price, but bring some swing speed or it feels like a rock.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Urethane cover gives balanced spin on chips and pitches at a price well below most tour balls
- A 12 percent thinner cover over a thicker mantle adds ball speed off the driver
- Axial Flow dimple pattern keeps the flight steady when the wind picks up
Reasons to think twice
- Spin off the long clubs sits in the middle of the pack, short of tour-level numbers
- At 103 compression it is firm enough that slower swings will struggle to compress it
- Other 2025 balls post more ball speed, so it will not win a distance contest
