Mizuno RB Tour, RB Tour X & RB Max golf balls | Inside Golf. Australia’s Most-Read Golf Magazine as named by Australian Golfers

By Michael Cooney

G’day golfers! 

This month I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing the Mizuno RB Tour, RB Tour X and RB Max golf balls. Delving into the realm of the Mizuno RB series has been a personal journey that has truly redefined my approach to the game. The RB Tour and RB Tour X, with their incredibly soft feel upon impact, presented a seamless fusion of precision and comfort. The softness of these balls allowed for shorter shots around the green to feel nothing short of effortless, providing a delightful sensation that enhanced my confidence and finesse on the course.

The innovation in the RB Tour’s 272 dimples and the AXIALFLOW technology immediately caught my attention. The refined flight off the driver and the controlled trajectory of short irons were standout features that transformed the way I approached my game. The attention to detail with Mizuno’s Urethane RB Tour cover, balancing softness with an unwavering commitment to durability, exemplified the brand’s ethos of perfection.

Now, let’s talk about the RB Max. This ball, an entirely new addition to Mizuno’s lineup, is a revelation. Combining the characteristics of a Tour ball with a more robust cover, it harmoniously marries speed and launch capabilities with enhanced durability. Personally, the RB Max’s DualCore technology, with its soft inner core and resilient outer layer, added a distinct layer of assurance and power to my shots, especially when faced with challenges on the course.

What resonated deeply was the Mizuno AXIALFLOW dimple design, not only reducing drag but enhancing the ball’s ability to pierce through the wind, bestowing me with a new sense of control and distance.

In summary, the RB series embodies Mizuno’s commitment to excellence. These balls are more than just equipment; they’ve become integral to my game, transforming each shot into a personal pursuit of perfection. Mizuno’s unwavering dedication to innovation, seen through the extensive three-year testing and development, is evident in the craftsmanship and performance of the RB Tour, RB Tour X, and RB Max.
