What’s not to like about Chris? A most knowledgeable golf techie that exhibits the excitement of a 3 year old at Christmas. One of the best brand ambassadors in all of golf!
Looks like its a great ball to try out no matter what.... should be tested neck to neck with those premium balls on the market. Felt to me that Chris was born to be there with u guys .. quality guy ... with huge knowledge and eye to what could go better in a fitting. Great stuff yet again ;)
I hope you guys know the influence you have in golf. You guys have the best videos and explain everything in a way anyone can understand. You have opened my eyes to a better way of thinking and over the past season I’ve made some significant changes in my game that has lowered my score significantly all because of your approach to fitting and the entire game. Ian, you are so technically proficient and Matt is just an amazing striker. The two of you paired up compliment each other. So thank you for the awesome videos and please don’t stop.
I have been impatiently waiting for this video! So cool to have Chris Voshall himself there during the test to educate us and show how much belief Mizuno has in their balls. I was fortunate enough to have a friend that is a Mizuno rep send me 2 - 2 packs of each model. I’ve been testing them at the course for the past 2 weeks. I like both balls and could happily game either. As a natural high launch low spin player (driver CHS 100 mph/ 6i CHS 83 mph) I was interested to see what spin numbers Matt would generate with the balls. My friend said I would benefit most from the X ball. This video supports his contention. Now, when will the balls be available in yellow?
just got off the course after I bought a dozen of the RB Tour at a private shop near me. easily my favorite ball I have played over my 12 years of golfing. RB Tour then B XS. hands down. thank you so much for all the great reviews guys!
Finally, I actually watched the vid. Great work Guys, Chris fits in so well to the TXG mindset100% integrity Zero% Bull shit. Quick question on behalf of my dear friends in Canada, "Is this Ball suitable for Lefties"?
I have a Mizuno fitting coming up next month and am very excited seeing the new swing DNA system and Mizuno ball's coming out. I guess I finally timed one fitting right..! Can't wait to see how it pans out..
Chris is awesome. You know you're getting quality products with a guy like that. If there was ever a company I'd want to be sponsored by it would be Mizuno. You could play 13 clubs and a ball so easily.
Picked up two dozen of the RB tours, favorite ball ever, it’s taken spin off my longer clubs and I’m finding fairways. I’ve broke 85 four times in a row (first time ever) and my last round I shot 77. That was the first time I’ve broke 80. They couple great with my MP-60’s. When you sweet spot this combo, melts like butter.
I saw Chris at Chipotle near the Mizuno HQ... I totally fanboyed, introduced myself and told him how much I loved their current clubs. I'm sure it was a little embarrassing for him, but he was super cool!
I know I have commented on this video before however I must again. The RB Tour and Tour X are easily my favorite golf balls. I started playing the B XS because of you guys awhile ago and made the absolute change to the RB. I have always like Mizunos fairway metals, wedges and bags. When I saw these and this video it was a necessity to try them, both. They perform crazy different. Feel on both is rewarding. If I'm playing a course where I know I'm hitting my driver often or it's a gusty day I will play the Tour. If I'm playing a course where I need a lot of scoring based in irons and wedges I play the Tour X. I have never played a ball that had such a drastic difference in flight. They are both Exactly what I want from a ball, depending on the day! Thank you so much guys!
Great video, speaking with knowledge and for the layman. Added note as 67 year old 12 handicap, I purchased a box and wow 😲.. straighter flight. But I'm headed back to buy a full box of the Tour not x and see the difference.
Another strong product from Mizuno. Just need to see what comes out for wedges and bring putter to North America, anyone can seriously play Mizuno from top to bottom. Nice that there remains a little Mizuno blue. Great video as always!
Iron game is always strong, but Mizuno looks to have taken a step up with the driver this year, and now have a ball line that looks competitive, and provides clear options.👍
Big Will. Mizuno seems to have stepped it up big time. It's almost reminding me of the last few years of Nike, except Mizuno has always made quality golf gear.
Quite frankly I didn’t think Chris knew much about his product considering he works for the company. A lot of answers were “I’m not completely sure”. How you not sure lol you’re the ambassador for the brand.
Great informative video (as usual). Picked up a dozen of each to test this Spring. Both feel great off the putter. After watching the video I'm leaning towards the RB Tour. Works great off the tee with a 3W and spins enough with mid and short irons to stop from anywhere. I don't have Matt's swing speed so the slightly lower compression is probably a better fit.
Love your show. Most comprehensive equipment information available, recommends it to all my golfing friends. Any chance this will come in a yellow for us with poor vision?
Mizuno seems to be the company that just quietly goes about its business and doesn't worry about what everyone else is doing. They compete against themselves to make the best products they can, and I like them for it. Other manufacturers should follow their lead.
They've pushed up they're marketing a lot more than a few years ago, but yeah, there's just a different tone to their approach. With but one exception, there's nothing in my bag that depended on marketing super selling "the best club(s) ever" to me. Mizuno has always had a great reputation along a number of sports, they make good products that really sing for a number of people, and it doesn't hurt that they make some of the most beautiful clubs by most people's tastes. I'd love for them to find a path to bringing costs down, but at the same time, when you make equipment that lasts and people fall in love with it, the little premium doesn't hurt in the end to have some keepers.
I hit the RB tour yesterday and loved the free side feel & spin! I pitched a shot that came up short and hit the 1st cut then in one bounce the ball bit hard! I was very impressed thinking it would run out! Downside I hit a hard wedge trying to squeeze every yard out of it and hit it solid but noticed a small cut! The cover is crazy soft and loved the ball but durability it won’t hold up as well IMO!
Just grabbed a dzn of Tour just to check them out. Happy to see that they are good in the wind. Here in the SFBA, that’s probably as important as any factor.
I'm having a hard time finding information online that compares ball spin across different brands (e.g. ProV1x vs. ZStarXV vs. Cromsoft X). Can you do a video on this? Having this information will be very beneficial to many golfers.
Good to see Mizuno ramping up in the golf ball market. They have always been available here in Australia but no profile. Here they are the same price as a ProV1 so gaining market share is going to be tough.
👏👏👏 wow ! Take a bow guy's. Awesome vid. I love the look of the Mizuno iron's.(JPX 919 forged) I hope they'll like me ?😁 Would love to put a set in my bag this year. Maybe the ball as well ?😊🏌️
Matt/Ian, did you guys test any half swing/chip shots? Did the X having more spin continue on shorter shots? I would assume around the green the softer ball would spin more since you aren't really compressing the ball much from 30 yards?
This appears to be a great option from the big brand ball companies and a quality ball at a reduced amount to get into the ball market. Maybe Mizuno should run a special price for 2 dozen balls to entice buyers to try the balls. When I run out of my TPx balls I will try this ball. Great job on the video...
Hi Ian, I was wondering, If the Mizuno RB tour x is a higher spinning ball than the standard RB why did the X roll out longer than the RB on the 6 iron?
Can get six dozen of these balls on amazon for about $24/dozen. Tour or tour x. Love the channel, would love to get fit into some mizuno equipment this year. Their stuff just seems to work!
Loved that. Should, or more importantly, can you buy your balls based on clubhead/ball speed or must you use a launch monitor. Not sure if I could get the selection of balls and time on a machince to check myself.
Guys, plans on testing the Snell balls? Would love to see that as they are so much cheaper but perform well. Would like to see if their spin differences between balls is this dramatic.
The rb tour x balls are really good. I play tp5x from TM, and i think i prefer the mizuno balls more. I get alot of distance, alot of spin on the greens and putts consistent.
I returned to this video for a review. I am gaming JPX 921 irons and T22 wedges. I thought that I would try a softer ball and I bought the RB Tour and Tour X Balls. While they feel good and gave me good length, they are not durable. They scuff easily. For now I will stick with the Pro V1x.
Great Vid. initially i wasn't going to bother as i thought a half hour vid comparing two balls would be dull dull dull. How wrong I was, really interesting, where did 29mins 25 secs go?
A bit confused, Chris said the lower compression creates lower spin and lower launch, but I believe Ian said in the past when you get more spin it launches lower to create the lower launch. So who is correct here? Just want some clarification
Great video. How would the Tour RB ball stack up vs the Titleist AVX? I am fighting everything possible to kill spin on the driver. The ball is likely the best place to start
I guess it’s great that the 2 balls are different enough to make it a better fit , but I suppose it’s more crucial to get it fit properly. What can some one do to fit a ball without sophisticated fitting, which may be difficult to come by?
Great video guys. A quick question, how does GC4 or other launch monitors that work with photometrics in the first few feet of flight show a large difference? My thought would be dimple patterns would affect the entire flight more than the first few feet. Not sure if this makes sense or not so my apologies if it doesn’t.
Hello, Great content and insight thank you for you channel. Just asking. I don't have a high swing speed about 90 mph with the driver but my spin numbers are high and I get a lot of stalling and drop out with the ball with the driver.(I have a 9 Deg driver and my launch angle is 13-14 Deg) I know it's a combination of things but which ball? STD or X to try to help with this I'm currently using a pro v1)
Can you do a video on Chromesoft and compare the non graphene version (2017) to the new version with graphene? The cost jumped from $36 to $44 and I think the spin around the greens was significantly diminished. I am now playing Cut and Snell MTB due to your videos by the way. Thanks
A little advise please and thanks: I swing my driver 95-ish mph, and I hit an 8-iron (mizuno T-zoids) 155 - 160 yds. Should I use an "X" for more spin or would I not compress the ball enough to take advantage of that?
Step aside Titleist. Mizuno and Bridgestone are pressing hard to deliver a comparable, if not better, golf ball at a cheaper price point. It would be interesting to see how the 3 piece Mizuno RB 566V performs against other 3piece balls
What’s not to like about Chris? A most knowledgeable golf techie that exhibits the excitement of a 3 year old at Christmas. One of the best brand ambassadors in all of golf!
Great video again. Chris is a great combination of sales speech and engineering knowledge. An asset to Mizuno and TXG.
Looks like its a great ball to try out no matter what.... should be tested neck to neck with those premium balls on the market. Felt to me that Chris was born to be there with u guys .. quality guy ... with huge knowledge and eye to what could go better in a fitting. Great stuff yet again ;)

Great video, please ask Dean Snell to come in with there new black and blue tour golf balls.
A similar in depth review would be really great.

Excellent video. A real treat to have Chris provide great insight into the differences in the Mizuno balls. Time to try the new balls.
Finally, I actually watched the vid. Great work Guys, Chris fits in so well to the TXG mindset100% integrity Zero% Bull shit.
Quick question on behalf of my dear friends in Canada, "Is this Ball suitable for Lefties"?
great to see a large difference between these. I would love to see this same test between Snell MTB-X and MTB Black
Agree. They could bring Dean Snell in to talk about it. He's a pretty blunt and entertaining guy.
I love the CUTS! - Thanks for turning us on to them.
I have a Mizuno fitting coming up next month and am very excited seeing the new swing DNA system and Mizuno ball's coming out. I guess I finally timed one fitting right..! Can't wait to see how it pans out..
Chris is awesome. You know you're getting quality products with a guy like that. If there was ever a company I'd want to be sponsored by it would be Mizuno. You could play 13 clubs and a ball so easily.
Another sweet video fellas! I've played Mizuno irons for yearsssssssssss and now a ball! Can't wait to give these a go.
Mizuno for life! Stoked to finally have a ball to go with my awesome irons and woods
Chris and Ian are a great combo and Matt. Chris is a gent. I'm buying a dozen of these X balls. A noticeable difference
Picked up two dozen of the RB tours, favorite ball ever, it’s taken spin off my longer clubs and I’m finding fairways. I’ve broke 85 four times in a row (first time ever) and my last round I shot 77. That was the first time I’ve broke 80. They couple great with my MP-60’s. When you sweet spot this combo, melts like butter.
Chris, seems like a good fellow. I'm sure he must feel some relief that the balls performed as they were intended by the human Iron Byron!
I saw Chris at Chipotle near the Mizuno HQ... I totally fanboyed, introduced myself and told him how much I loved their current clubs. I'm sure it was a little embarrassing for him, but he was super cool!
This video is so good. Golf ball fittings are something that is so interesting. Great job guys!
Just picked up a sleeve of the RBTour and hoping to get to play them tomorrow. They feel awesome off the putter.
Let me know my friend :) Mahalos -Bubba
Mizuno are just smashing it lately, just need to enter the putter market now for the complete set! 👍🏻🤤
MP A-Series. A301 to A306.
Eval Hell good call
They used to make some gorgeous putters with TP Mills. I've got a beautiful buttery soft TPM2.
Love this. Was a JPX S player. Will be all over these. Very soon
I know I have commented on this video before however I must again. The RB Tour and Tour X are easily my favorite golf balls. I started playing the B XS because of you guys awhile ago and made the absolute change to the RB. I have always like Mizunos fairway metals, wedges and bags.

I have never played a ball that had such a drastic difference in flight. They are both Exactly what I want from a ball, depending on the day!
Thank you so much guys!
You guys should 100% go to the golf event that Rick Shiels is hosting in the UK. Everyone would love to see you there
Mizuno really making a statement this year.
Golf Industry: Mizuno? Don’t you guys just make great irons.
Mizuno: Hold my beer...
Ehhh, Hold my Sake!
The X model Looks like a must buy
Great video, speaking with knowledge and for the layman.
Added note as 67 year old 12 handicap, I purchased a box and wow 😲.. straighter flight. But I'm headed back to buy a full box of the Tour not x and see the difference.
Matty is an absolute cyborg!! Great ball striking. Love Mizuno stuff, just wish they supported lefties a bit more.
Look at that TXG swagger!!! Do a video and a supplier sells out of stock! :) You have arrived haha
They'll be bigger than Oprah next
Great information as usual. There’s so much choice for consumers...we need guidance. Thanks guys.
Great info from Chris. I'm using Z-Star XV and will try out RB Tour for sure.
Another strong product from Mizuno. Just need to see what comes out for wedges and bring putter to North America, anyone can seriously play Mizuno from top to bottom. Nice that there remains a little Mizuno blue. Great video as always!
I used the new mizuno RB TOUR ball and really liked it! I’ve been using the Titleist pro v1. I’m switching to Mizuno ! I was really impressed
Iron game is always strong, but Mizuno looks to have taken a step up with the driver this year, and now have a ball line that looks competitive, and provides clear options.👍
Big Will. Mizuno seems to have stepped it up big time. It's almost reminding me of the last few years of Nike, except Mizuno has always made quality golf gear.
Awesome stuff! I have two 2-ball sleeves of each of these, so I need to pay a little closer attention to what they do on-course.
Really like the video’s with Chris...you should offer him a spot on your TXG RUclips team 😜😇👍🏽
Quite frankly I didn’t think Chris knew much about his product considering he works for the company. A lot of answers were “I’m not completely sure”. How you not sure lol you’re the ambassador for the brand.
Just received a dozen of the Tour and will give them a go as soon as my new 919 Forged irons arrive next week. 20 mph difference between Matt and I!😳
Great informative video (as usual). Picked up a dozen of each to test this Spring. Both feel great off the putter. After watching the video I'm leaning towards the RB Tour.

Any chance this will come in a yellow for us with poor vision?
Thanks guys, had been waiting for a review of this ball!
I’m so excited to test these out!
Really like there is a distinct difference between the 2 balls. X sounds like it would work for me to get more spin
Mizuno seems to be the company that just quietly goes about its business and doesn't worry about what everyone else is doing. They compete against themselves to make the best products they can, and I like them for it. Other manufacturers should follow their lead.

Man missing another one. I'm going to need Matt to get my work times changed so I can watch these premiere 🤣🤣
Chris and Ian in one video.. could watch you guys talk about golf all day 🏴 and obviously Matty hitting them too
I hit the RB tour yesterday and loved the free side feel & spin! I pitched a shot that came up short and hit the 1st cut then in one bounce the ball bit hard! I was very impressed thinking it would run out! Downside I hit a hard wedge trying to squeeze every yard out of it and hit it solid but noticed a small cut! The cover is crazy soft and loved the ball but durability it won’t hold up as well IMO!
Gonna have to get me those blue balls... 🤣 Nice video guys. Love Mizuno and what they do for the game. I'll be seriously testing their products soon
Great video! Love the separation between the two balls. I tried both, and there is definitely a difference. Cheers 🍻
Looks a really good option, simple is better. Great video thanks for your efforts.
Great to see 3 guys who seem to truly love their jobs.
Absolutely love this channel
Just grabbed a dzn of Tour just to check them out. Happy to see that they are good in the wind. Here in the SFBA, that’s probably as important as any factor.
Mizuno is a mix with classic and engineering golf. The best mix to be a great ball
I'm having a hard time finding information online that compares ball spin across different brands (e.g. ProV1x vs. ZStarXV vs. Cromsoft X). Can you do a video on this? Having this information will be very beneficial to many golfers.
Tried the RB TourX. Seemed a bit too hard for my swing speed of 95.
Will try the RB Tour to compare
Good work guys as usual
Good to see Mizuno ramping up in the golf ball market. They have always been available here in Australia but no profile. Here they are the same price as a ProV1 so gaining market share is going to be tough.
Looks like a fantastic product, hope it gets more use out on tour
👏👏👏 wow ! Take a bow guy's. Awesome vid. I love the look of the Mizuno iron's.(JPX 919 forged) I hope they'll like me ?😁 Would love to put a set in my bag this year. Maybe the ball as well ?😊🏌️

Just bought there 4 an 5 hybrids love them now I have got to try the balls
Fascinating and well explained. Learning a lot.👍
Amazing insight in this video, guys.
Guys, plans on testing the Snell balls? Would love to see that as they are so much cheaper but perform well. Would like to see if their spin differences between balls is this dramatic.
Have to try some. It seems Mizuno is working hard to increase their market share. Good video.
The rb tour x balls are really good. I play tp5x from TM, and i think i prefer the mizuno balls more. I get alot of distance, alot of spin on the greens and putts consistent.

Great stuff again guys 👍
Looks like a great ball! I cant wait to try it! I haven't seen any Bridgestone testing?
Love the blue numbers as well, but Mizuno is not alone. See the Bridgestone Tour B XS.
Great work. Excellent information that everyone can understand
Great Vid. initially i wasn't going to bother as i thought a half hour vid comparing two balls would be dull dull dull. How wrong I was, really interesting, where did 29mins 25 secs go?
Great vid, and always great to see and hear Voshall as well. One other thing, have you considered setting up a DTL antenna for Matty?
Camera? We're tight for space behind the hitting area, but we'll use that angle when we get outside for sure
@@clubchampionmedia lol, yeah,.camera. that is what I get for watching your vids at work, while going through emails
Great vid....will try them in New Zealand!
The rb tour and tour x are great. Especially at $35/doz. And then mizunos rb 566 is a great ball in the $21/doz range.
A couple of questions, if you need more spin but have lower swing speeds
Best ball ever and cheaper than any other premium ball out there!!
A bit confused, Chris said the lower compression creates lower spin and lower launch, but I believe Ian said in the past when you get more spin it launches lower to create the lower launch. So who is correct here? Just want some clarification
Great video. How would the Tour RB ball stack up vs the Titleist AVX? I am fighting everything possible to kill spin on the driver. The ball is likely the best place to start
AVX is lower spin for sure
I guess it’s great that the 2 balls are different enough to make it a better fit , but I suppose it’s more crucial to get it fit properly.
What can some one do to fit a ball without sophisticated fitting, which may be difficult to come by?
grab some sleeves and test on the course and chipping green
What kind of players/swings/swing speeds are best suited for each?
Love Mizuno balls. Got some MP balls to wear out before I buy these.
Got you guys eight more followers at local golf store by getting them to actually start using the mizuno optimizer they had yet to start using:)
👍
$55/dz. and hit the RB Tour yesterday, great feel!
Chris, please stay with Mizuno forever.
Great video guys. A quick question, how does GC4 or other launch monitors that work with photometrics in the first few feet of flight show a large difference? My thought would be dimple patterns would affect the entire flight more than the first few feet. Not sure if this makes sense or not so my apologies if it doesn’t.
Correct, we can't assess the aerodynamics and dimple design of these balls using GC Quad - will need to wait for outdoor testing
Have played the RB Tour for a few weeks. Liked it the spin and distance . However, I found the cover to not be as durable as other premium balls.
Hello,
Great content and insight thank you for you channel.
Just asking.
I don't have a high swing speed about 90 mph with the driver but my spin numbers are high and I get a lot of stalling and drop out with the ball with the driver.(I have a 9 Deg driver and my launch angle is 13-14 Deg)
I know it's a combination of things but which ball? STD or X to try to help with this I'm currently using a pro v1)
LET THE GAMES BEGIN BOYZ!! buy buy buy!!!
Can you do a video on Chromesoft and compare the non graphene version (2017) to the new version with graphene? The cost jumped from $36 to $44 and I think the spin around the greens was significantly diminished. I am now playing Cut and Snell MTB due to your videos by the way. Thanks
Ok. Need some clarification about whether this compression/spin concept applies to TP5/x, Tour B X/S, as well. I’m confused!
A little advise please and thanks: I swing my driver 95-ish mph, and I hit an 8-iron (mizuno T-zoids) 155 - 160 yds. Should I use an "X" for more spin or would I not compress the ball enough to take advantage of that?
A good ball like they irons does exactly as it says on the tin
Whatever Mizuno is paying Vosh, it’s not enough. He is the Tiger of golf brand reps.
Step aside Titleist. Mizuno and Bridgestone are pressing hard to deliver a comparable, if not better, golf ball at a cheaper price point. It would be interesting to see how the 3 piece Mizuno RB 566V performs against other 3piece balls
