20XI Golf Ball, Now With More RZN

Athletes know it is important to exercise and tone their core, but engineers who have studied the golf ball apparently realized that its core is important too. Nike Golf made quite an impact when it released it premium 20XI golf balls, which featured a new innovation called RZN last year.

The new proprietary RZN technology resulted in lighter, faster and a more responsive core. Nike Golf took this a step further by adding more RZN to its 20XI ball. Nike claims this larger, softer RZN core improves feel off all shots while maintaining driver distance. The added RZN mantel offers the promise to produce longer shots off irons while providing a softer short game feel, while this combination of core size and mantle could translate into two times more RZN material than the previous generation 20XI.

The new 20XI will be ready to tee off in February.

And yes, there even a “swoosh” adorned on the side, but from the outside these new balls otherwise look just like every other golf ball.

What makes these balls stand out is what out is that these feature innovative golf ball technology that will reportedly dramatically enhance the performance of golfers around the world and, at the same time, propel golf ball manufacturing into an entirely new level of innovation. Those are big claims, but again this is coming a company that has delivered on its past bold statements.

The Nike 20XI golf ball features a combination of proprietary technology that has actually never before been seen in the golf industry, and more importantly is the result of four years of collaborative research and development between Nike Golf’s golf ball engineers and a team of material and science experts at DuPont. Together they went to the core of creating a golf ball, as in the actual core and opted to bounce out the old conventional rubber core with a radically new resin material. Rubber has been the traditional core for years, so the switch to resin is quite a big deal. Continue reading Nike Tees Off With New Golf Balls
