Following the success of its golf ball range over recent years, Mizuno has launched a new, softer, next-generation two-piece JPX golf ball that promises excellent all-round performance at a great price.

The micro-dimple JPX ball features a larger soft-compression core – Mizuno’s softest to date in a two-piece golf ball.

The new, low-compression core design, meanwhile, means there’s no compromise in the age-old quest for greenside feel and explosive tee-shot distance, with a durable multi-blend polymer cover working with the core to provide the soft feel required on those delicate touch shots around the green.

This unexpectedly smooth feel combines with elevated ball speeds at
low-to-mid swing speeds courtesy of the large, soft-compression core.

Mizuno’s unique micro-dimple cover, featuring 512 dimples in total,
generates a mid-to-high trajectory and boosts the JPX ball’s
aerodynamics, sustaining hang-time long into the ball’s descent for
longer, more stable tee shots.

“The low compression core in combination with our micro-dimples means that you’ve got an excellent combination of feel, ball speed and aerodynamics,” said Tomo Aoki, product development at Mizuno.

“Our two-piece ball has evolved to the point that the majority of
players now couldn’t tell the difference between this and a tour type
ball.”

Mizuno’s new JPX golf ball is primarily geared towards mid-to-lower
swing speeds in dry conditions, but can deliver perfect all-round
performance for all swing speeds in cold or wet conditions.

The new soft-compression JPX completes the Mizuno golf ball line-up
for 2017/2018, which also includes the tour-proven performance of the
MP-S and MP-X models as well as the revolutionary distance-enhancing
micro-dimples in the covers of the JPX models.
