PXG built the Xtreme Tour X to go long without giving up a urethane cover. Robot testing backs up the first half of that promise, and the price makes the second half easy to try.
What's new
This 2024 ball is a three-piece design with a urethane cover, a 338-dimple pattern, and compression listed at about 101. PXG pitches it as high spin but distance oriented, aimed at golfers who want long drives and still expect a wedge to check.
It sells by the dozen in the value tier, and of the two Xtreme models it tested better. A value score of 9.4 tells you how much ball you get for the money.
How it plays
Distance carries this review. In a 2026 robot test of three-piece balls it finished second best off the tee, third longest at 114 mph with 272.8 yards, second at 93 mph with 209.4 yards, and fourth at 78 mph. A separate 2026 test placed it seventh of 44 in high-speed driver distance.
Driver spin lands around 2,400 rpm, roughly 100 rpm above the field median, yet it still sat in the longest group. Workability scores 8.5 and feel 8.2, so the urethane cover earns its keep around the green, and accuracy holds at 8.0.
Where it lacks
Forgiveness, at 7.8, trails every other score. Strike it well and it flies; strike it poorly and the ball does less to cover for you.
Its spin character is also a little unsettled. PXG calls it high spin, one 2025 test filed it as a mid-spin pick, and anyone chasing the lowest driver spin will find better options elsewhere. The firm compression and its slide to fourth at 78 mph hint that slower swings get less of the payoff.
“It flies in the longest group we have data on, and the price barely registers.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- The robot data put it second off the tee among three-piece balls, and seventh of 44 at high driver speed
- Urethane cover adds short game control, with workability at 8.5 and feel at 8.2
- Value score of 9.4 makes it one of the easier dozens to justify
Reasons to think twice
- Forgiveness rates 7.8, its lowest mark, so mishits get less help than the distance numbers suggest
- Driver spin near 2,400 rpm sits above the field median, which may cost low-spin seekers some roll
- Compression around 101 is high, and testing showed its lead shrinking at a 78 mph swing

- Maxfli Tour X LS 2026 - 8.8/10. Maxfli's lower-spin Tour X, built for Ben Griffin and sold well under tour-ball money.
- Wilson Staff Model 2026 - 8.8/10. Wilson's four-piece urethane tour ball matches the longest models tested for distance and spins hard around greens.
- Titleist Pro V1 2025 - 8.8/10. Titleist's most-played ball gets a faster core and adds spin with irons and wedges.
- Callaway Chrome Tour 2026 - 8.7/10. A stiffer mantle gives Callaway's 2026 tour ball more speed without hardening the feel.
- Vice Pro 2024 - 8.7/10. A three-layer urethane ball that matched or beat the Pro V1 in testing for about mid-tier money.
- TaylorMade TP5 2026 - 8.6/10. A softer five-layer TaylorMade that ranked second for greenside spin among 62 robot-tested balls.
