olf balls are taking
a big bounce for-
ward this spring.
With the help of new cores
and covers, this crop of
golf balls will take you
places you don't often get
to see – as in farther and
straighter down the fair-
way. Whether 2-piece,
3-piece, or 4-piece con-
struction, the cores and
covers are getting softer,
and the control is getting
better and better. This new
technology is enough to
make your head spin, but
you'll love the results on
the golf course.
TAYLORMADE
TOUR PREFERRED
n Some of the world's best
players use the new Taylor-
Made Tour Preferred golf
balls – and for good reason.
The new tour-level golf balls
provide the Holy Grail of golf
ball design – superior dis-
tance with the driver and
long irons, great control with
short irons, and tremendous
feel around the greens. The
Tour Preferred is a four-lay-
ered ball and offers a slightly
higher ball flight and a softer
feel than the X. Featuring five
layers, the Tour Preferred X
spins less and provides a
penetrating trajectory and
better distance and control.

NIKE
RZN TOUR & SPEED
n Believe it or not, you can
judge a golf ball by its cover.
Exhibit A is Nike's fourth
generation premium golf
balls, featuring a revolution-
ary cover that offers what
Nike calls Flight Suit Technol-
ogy. An examination of the
dimple pattern reveals a
whopping 13,558 (although
who's really counting?) micro
dimples, which reduce drag,
improve carry, and give you
overall added distance. The
RZN Tour is available in two
models: Black (lower spin) or
Platinum (more spin). The
RZN Speed has a 3-piece
makeup and a lower price.

CHROME SOFT
n The original Chrome Soft
merged a low, 65-compres-
sion core typical of distance
balls with a urethane cover
usually found wrapping
higher compression tour
balls. The result was excep-
tional distance and control.
The new version is a 4-piece
design that provides golfers
with even more shot-making
control. The new construction
features a dual core with a
soft inner layer and firmer
outer layer that create more
speed at impact, reduced
spin on longer shots, in-
creased spin with shorter
clubs, and all at under $40.

TITLEIST
NXT TOUR
n When considering a golf
ball to place upon your tee,
there are always two impor-
tant factors you want to
consider: Does it deliver
great distance and extraor-
dinary control? The new
NXT Tour balls deliver on
both counts. The big bene-
fit is the special multi-piece
construction and a large
dual core with a soft center
surrounded by a new soft
Fusablend cover. You'll love
the low spin off the driver
and long irons and greater
control around the greens.
Not to mention the better
all-around feel.
