Srixon Q Star Tour VS Callaway Diablo Tour VS Oncore Elixr | “Tour” is Just a Marketing Word

Three golf balls that may seem random. However they are all great budget options that offer value. The Q Star Tour is heavily requested, and the Callaway Diablo Tour is another option that many don’t consider. Last is the Oncore Elixr, which I will be honest is on its last leg. I can’t give any more chances. Let’s do this.

Hey my fellow golf ball addicts, welcome back to the channel. We have another triple review for you today and we are doing the Srixen Qstar Tour, the Callaway Diablo, and the Encore Elixir. Three budget golf balls all around the $30 a dozen. Let’s dive right in. Guys, as always, thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it. If you want to support this channel further, we also have a membership that just starts at a dollar a month. But I also do appreciate the free stuff as well. You know, the liking, the commenting, the subscribing. It means the world to me. Thank you so much. All right, so quick disclaimer here. Uh the reason these three golf balls are being paired together is because originally when I had paired them together on paper, the Callaway Diablo or Diablo Tour or whatever had traditionally been a three-piece golf ball. It was that way for a very long time. Then come to find out after I’d already put it on here and done the testing, they moved it to being a two-piece recently. And so that’s kind of why this is going to seem kind of random. Do apologize about that. I probably should have done my due diligence there beforehand. But the other two golf balls, the Qstar Tour and the Encore Elixir, are both three-piece urethane golf balls that are designed for slower to mid swing speeds. And the Callaway Diablo is basically a two-piece distance golf ball. So, it’s a little random out there, but it still deserves a test. and we’re still going to give it a go here. So, let’s start with the most expensive of the three, which is actually the Shrixen Qstar Tour. This used to be $32.99 a dozen, but as you can see, now it’s up to $39.99 a dozen. It changed a few years ago. You know, it it is what it is. It’s it’s still the middle of the pack. I wish it was a little less than that, but it is a three-piece urethane golf ball, and it’s for moderate swingers, so we’ll see that. Moderate swingers. In the past, I’ve had some issues with this ball. We did test it last year, but that was the Divide version. So, you a lot of you have told me that there is a difference between the two. Um, so we’ll test that as well. All right. When we get into the Callaway Diablo, like I said, this is a two-piece ometer golf ball, and it comes at a price point of $32.99, but that’s not for a dozen. That’s actually for 15 golf balls. You get a bonus sleeve in there, which is really nice. Um, but the real value in this is that whether you go to Dick Sporting Goods or you go to Golf Galaxy, they always run a 2 for45 special. So you end up getting them for about 2250 per 15. And by the time you do the math and all that, it really turns out to be an incredible deal. So you do have to buy a little bit in bulk, but only buying two is not that bad. Then last but not least, we have the Encore Elixir, which this is a three-piece urethane golf ball that comes at a price point of $30 a dozen. Uh it’s from Encore. Encore was one of the first few big direct to consumer golf ball companies back in the day. You know, 2016, 2017, 2018 when I started doing this. There was like three big ones and Encore was one of those. Now, I do think that they’ve kind of gone downhill over the last few years. I don’t see much from them anymore and we’ll touch on that throughout the video, but uh at one time this was a really well-known golf ball and I didn’t have a lot of luck when I tested it last time. I really didn’t care for it. So, I’m hoping this time’s a little better. So, let’s get into some design here. Let’s start with the Stricksen Q Star Tour. It comes in just a plain white. As you can see, that’s the logo. It does come in a yellow as well. But what really sets this golf ball apart, of course, as I mentioned earlier, is their divide line, which that’s what the divide line is. I’m sure you’ve seen, you know, these out there in the wild. We have the MC golf ball, which is, you know, red and yellow, and then we have the blue and yellow. We also have the orange and yellow. And these are actually a really great training tool. You know, when you’re chipping, when you’re putting, using this for feedback, it’s actually incredible. You can see the spin really well. Um, it’s one of the greatest golf ball inventions in my opinion over the last five, six years. I mean, it’s it’s incredible whether you like it or not. Even if you’re someone who’s really turned off by it, you can use it for, like I said, the the practice, the chipping and the putting just to kind of get some feedback and it’s awesome. When it comes to the Callaway Diablo, as you can see, the front there is the Callaway. That’s just pretty basic, but Callaway’s got a great logo and it’s iconic. Coming over on the side, they, you know, Callaway’s been doing this nice thick line that says Diablo in the middle. That’s great. If I hold that up, that’s awesome. That’s a great alignment tool. It’s simple. It gets the job done. doesn’t come in any other colors, unfortunately. But again, you’re getting such a great discount, you know, under $30 a dozen for this essentially. 32.99 for 15 golf balls. You know, yeah, I wish they’d had a yellow or something, and I’m sure some of you wish that, but it is what it is. You’re saving some money. I’m sure Callie is not going to pump a ton of money into this golf ball. And then we have the Encore Elixir. Looking at the front there, Encore’s logo is uh okay for the most part. That is going to turn some people off if you haven’t seen it before. Interesting font there with the four. Then we come around on the side. I’m not a big fan of this alignment tool. I don’t like it when the words are in the middle and it’s bigger than the line. It makes it really difficult to line your putts up, at least for me. I mean, you can’t see it very well. Um, I wish they had more options. They have not updated this golf ball since 2022. This is the 2022 version. I kind of wish they would at least have some update. Most golf balls update every 2 years. I mean, at the latest, uh, not having one for 2025, I was really, really surprised with. Let’s get out to the chipping and putting green and let’s see how they do around there. [Music] What? Same thing. All [Music] right. So, the first thing you might have noticed is that I had some trouble with distance control when it came to the chipping out there. The main reason for that is all three of these golf balls have a really, you know, bouncy ball, soft cover. And I’ll tell you what, it does not take much when you come back with that wedge to get these golf balls to travel a far distance. It took me a big learning curve to sit there and experiment. That’s why some of them you saw just flew past the hole. I was just trying to get a feel. You know, tour golf balls I have to come back a lot farther uh just because the firmness and the clickiness of them, but not the case here. You know, the Callaway Diablo wanted to launch really, really high like a normal two-piece would. Uh, it actually has decent checkup around the 30% as you can see. I mean, for being a two-piece ball, that’s not bad. The Encore Elixir and the Qstar Tour have a very similar feel and reaction, you know, when you hit them good. Yeah, it’s around the 50 to 55% mark with the spin, which is really, really good. Uh, but again, I had trouble with distance control. They’re just so soft that I mean, it just doesn’t take much to get them up there and get them up in the air and get them to the hole. that also kind of decreased the spin a little bit because, you know, when you only have to take it back a shoulder push like a putt, it just takes a lot of the spin off. So, I had trouble with them. You know, I do think they’re for a little bit slower swingers, but just keep that in mind when it comes to the chipping. These are not going to be, you know, your traditional torque golf balls where, you know, you got to put a little extra on them to get them to the hole. These are going to fly off. I mean, they’re going to have a lot of ball speed coming off even with chips around the green. Heat. Heat. Oh, I pulled it just a little. It’s that way, isn’t it? Yeah. So, there’s not much to talk about when we come here to the mallet putter. They all have a really decent roll. The QST Star Tour is definitely the standout there as you can see. Uh, but when it comes to the other two, they roll just fine. Uh, as far as the sound, they all sound very similar. They all come off the putter pretty much dead with no feeling in the hands. Now, I will admit that the Diablo does have a slight little bit of feedback, just a faint faint in the distance, you know, almost like a echo in the mountains. But other than that, you know, they’re they’re pretty basic, but I didn’t have any issues with distance control, and I didn’t have any issues at all really getting the ball in the hole, as you can see. So they all putt nice. I have nothing bad to say. Go, go. [Music] Oh. Oh. So, there are some changes when it comes to the blade. Now, the Diablo feels the same and rolls the same for the most part, but I will say that you do notice the feedback in the hands a little bit more, and the click obviously is a little louder. Um, I don’t think it has as good of a roll, though. You’ll notice that I started to come up short during a couple of those putts. Uh, it’s a lot different because now all of a sudden, I’m having to come back twice as far as I do with the mallet. And with the mallet, I was able to get into a rhythm and I got some confidence. But with this one, I had to come back so far to get these golf balls to travel and get toward the hole that I just ended up really losing confidence fast and I ended up missing and coming up short. Now, the Qstar Tour is still a 10 out of 10 roll. It still feels fantastic. A nice little kiss. It feels crispy now. Um, it’s a really great golf ball around the green. That’s what this is intended for. Now, once we get to the Elixir, you know, this is where it definitely changes. So, the roll is still a 9 out of 10. I don’t mind that at all. But the golf ball feels hollow. And when it comes off the putter, it really gives you these dark thoughts. Like, I mean, immediately you get queasy in your stomach. You feel like vomiting. You know, you have really depressive thoughts. Okay, maybe not that bad, but it’s bad. It’s a bad feeling. I can’t stand it. You could see my facial reaction. Um, I definitely there’s no way I would ever putt that golf ball with a blade. The mallet wasn’t too bad, but no. If I had to use a blade, I’d be finding myself a different golf ball. I’d use a nitro before I put it with this one. All right. When it comes to the sound of these golf balls, they all sound pretty similar. I mean, that’s why I really didn’t even label them, as you could tell. Uh, they all sound similar, and there’s nothing really to talk about. There’s nothing that’s going to alert someone one way or the other. Now, once we get into the feel, we’ll go from worst to best here. Uh, the worst of the three is the Encore Elixir. It has this heaviness to it. It just doesn’t feel like it has any type of explosiveness off the club at all. Um, it feels a little heavy, too, and it’s just it’s just not there. You know, it’s it’s close to a two out of five. I’ll go ahead and be nice and bump it up to the three out of five, but it’s really not my cup of tea. Some of you might like it. Then we get into second place, which would be the QStar Tour. Again, it’s not bad, but there’s just not a lot of explosiveness. It feels like it has a little bit of marshmallow in there. It feels like I might be overcompressing it. Um, I definitely would give it a four out of five. It’s not bad. Um, but again, it’s close to a three out of five. I I’m being generous today. I’m feeling nice. But, uh, the winner, the the stand out of the three is definitely the Callaway Diablo because it has this firm press to it that is just fantastic. And it just has this pow. I mean, it comes off the club. There is so much, you know, power packed into it. And it really feels good. Whether you mis hit it, whether you hit it pure, um it feels like this golf ball travels a long way. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s one of my favorite feeling golf balls of the year so far. So, I did not see that coming. Okay, so let’s talk some data. Let’s go ahead and dive into the 50ard pitch. Starting with the backspin, of course, and we are looking at the Srixen Qstar Tour at 7,833. So, just slightly below average. Pretty respectable. But look at that low launch. I mean, it definitely wants to launch really low. 7,874 with the Diablo. That’s again just slightly below average, but it’s still in that medium kind of range. Uh, a nice little mid-flight there. And then same mid-flight with the Elixir, but look at the difference in spin. I mean, that’s really low. And that’s why I tell a lot of people, you know, there’s still this common myth that’s like, oh, you know, urethane golf balls spin more. You know, it depends on the golf ball. There’s so much, you know, difference in technology now. Uh, the Diablo is a two-piece ometer golf ball and it spun 300 RPM more than the Elixir did. The Elixir is supposed to be one of the highest spinning golf balls. And as you can see here, it just didn’t come off the 50-yard pitch that way. So, keep that in mind. Then, let’s get into the pitching wedge here. And we start with the Qstar Tour. Not great numbers from any of the three there, but the Diablo is at least yellow and average. So, that’s pretty good. I also swung way too fast with the QStar Tour. So, the Tour had every opportunity to be better, and it didn’t. It’s actually the worst of the three. So, that more on that in a second. Um, when we get into the spin, as you can see, the Elixir and the Qstar Tour, way, way, way high spin. That’s 500 RPM above my average. That’s really high. And yes, that’s good spin. Uh, but that might be too much spin. You know what I mean? Like, you don’t want your golf ball to balloon in the air. And a lot of the time with these softer, squishier golf balls that are for, you know, seniors or slower swingers, that’s what you end up seeing happen. You overcompress the golf ball and you get way too much spin. That’s kind of what I’m noticing there. But look at the Diablo. I know the Diablo is average on ball speed, average on distance, but it’s also mid on spin, so it’s doing everything really well and consistent. Then we get into the smash factor. The Diablo is the only one that’s at least mid there. And then launch, they all want to launch a little lower than mid. So, very consistent there. The standouts, the Diablo, we already know it has a really good feel, but also even though none of those numbers are above average, they’re consistent. Nice mid spin, mid uh ball speed, mid distance. I mean, nothing’s bad. So, I could definitely work with that. And if the Diablo ends up being a little firmer than the other two, who knows? Maybe some of like the mid iron and the driver will be a little bit better. So, getting into the seven iron now. As you can see, again, just three numbers that aren’t really great by any means, which is kind of disappointing. Uh, then we get into the ball speed, which below average, below average, below average. Um, but then if we look at the spin, now the Diablo actually gets above average spin. that’s actually going to have some ripback with a seven iron, which is really, really nice. The other two are a little low, and again, you’re you’re not getting any ball speed. You’re not getting any distance. Um, it’s really, really disappointing to not have spin also, cuz that just means it just ain’t going, you know, it just doesn’t have that pop. U smash factor- wise, everything’s low. Uh, launch wise, everything’s again low. I mean, I don’t know why these golf balls are wanting to launch so low. Maybe it is because they’re tour models, or maybe they’re designed for like the Diablo. Maybe it’s for faster swing speed. I don’t know. But that’s really disappointing because the Diablo again feels great and it kind of holds its own. There’s a couple decent things, but let’s look at the Elixir and let’s look at the QST tour. I’m not getting any decent numbers with them. It’s obviously the Qstar Tour is being overcompressed. You can tell by those numbers. I would have to guess that the Elixir is the same way. I mean, I’m losing four or five yards. I’m not getting any spin. The ball speed is extremely low. it it’s just there’s not a lot here unfortunately with those two. But let’s get into the driver. Let’s see if the driver can save any. Now looking at these numbers. So this is kind of I mean this is like a stepping ladder here. As you can see we start with the QSTAR tour and yeah I mean there’s just no sugar coating it. It’s it’s really bad. It’s really bad there. The ball speed is low. It’s one of the lowest I’ve seen in a while. Uh the spin is way too high which again that’s kind of showing the overcompression. Um smash factor is still decent though. I mean at least it’s green there. But, you know, 224.5 and 233.2 are just not going to get it done. Now, especially when you look at the other two. Now, the Elixir falls more into the average line. Um, it actually has a little bit above average ball speed and the spin is really, really low and I love that. But, let’s be real, the standout there is going to be the Diablo. The Diablo feels absolutely crisp off the driver. It just jumps off the club. And now we have another really top five, top six somewhere in there performance with the driver. 245.8 is awesome. 144.1 is incredible ball speed and that spin was really really low. So those are all ingredients of a really really beautiful dish. Um, you know, midlaunch. Yeah. No, I love that. I I I that’s where the Diablo really came in and had some eyepopping numbers which I love to see. Qstar Tour kind of fell off the earth unfortunately. the the engine in the race, the engine blew. And unfortunately, it’s in the rearview mirror at this point. Elixir at least kind of had a little bit of a decent number, but I can’t overlook what we just saw just because of Oh, it’s slightly above average. Really disappointing there. Okay, let’s go to the computer now. Let’s look at the accuracy and dispersion. Let’s check out the charts and let’s see if there’s anything worth talking about. All right, so let’s start with the QSTAR tour. 50 yard pitch looks acceptable. Uh pitching wedge is uh it’s okay. I mean, it’s not bad. The majority of them, they’re right there. You know, there’s one far pool, but you know, that that’s passable. I nothing wrong with that. Once we get into the seven iron though, that is Boy, that’s something. Uh that is all over the place. I mean, left, right, up, down, uh you know, AB, AB, select start. I I am not exactly sure what happened there, but I will say this. I did notice with a couple of these golf balls, and you’ll see this with the Encore Elixir as well, the consistency and the distance control was very difficult for me when I was testing them. You know, I I would hit one, you know, let’s say with the uh 7 iron, 84 mph, and it would go 155 and then I would swing 85 mph and it would go 168. And it it’s just all on how you catch it. And I understand you might say, “Well, yeah, Nick, that’s how most golf balls are.” No, this one’s exaggerated. Like there are times I would hit this golf ball and it would go forever. And then there’s times I would hit this golf ball and it just wouldn’t go anywhere. And some of that was spin too. You know, spin dispersion with these golf balls, especially the Encore Elixir and the Qstar Tour in specific. Awful. I mean, really awful. Sometimes it would be 3,000 RPM and then sometimes it would be, you know, 5600 with a 7iron. And so the thing is I would gain all this distance I didn’t want. And so that’s why you’re seeing such weird distance control getting into the driver. I mean, I wish that was something I could say, but yeah, I mean, you’ve got two far pushes to the right that are almost out of bounds, and then you’ve got, you know, a few in there that are good. Yeah. But, you know, with a soft golf ball like this, I was expecting a lot better accuracy for sure. So, it’s pretty disappointing when it comes to the distance control, and it’s kind of disappointing when it comes to accuracy for the most part. All right. So, when it comes to the Callaway Diablo, I’m not exactly sure what happened with the 50-yard pitch there. That’s kind of interesting. But the accuracy is good for the most part. It’s just distance dispersion. Then we get into the pitching wedge and distance control is topnotch. I mean, that’s all basically right there all the same. Uh accuracy wise, you know, I’d say it’s kind of spread out all over, but I love that. That’s one of the better pitching wedges I’ve seen this year. Uh seven iron a little bit all over the place. There’s two that were short. The push you can kind of add, you know, human air or whatever. Uh but there are one short, two long. The rest of them are all right there on that line. And and then as you can see, this golf ball does have a little bit of bend left and right for sure because I was putting a little draw on it and you can see that that’s why the majority of those are left. So, not bad. I mean, I think it’s pretty accurate for the most part. It’s not the best I’ve seen, but it definitely passes. Then we get into the driver and you know, those are all fairway finders. You know, there might be one on that far left over there, that pool that might be close to the rough, but you know, nine out of 10 right down the center of the fairway. You know, having a good approach shot, really good distance as we know. I like that. So, this this is a great chart. Not going to win any awards, not eyepopping, but it is really good. It’s solid. There’s plenty to build on from here. All right, Encore Elixir. Starting with the 50-yard pitch. That’s pretty good for the most part. I I mean, there’s a lot of little dots right there in that tiny area. I got to give it up. That’s one of the better ones I’ve seen this year. And so, the dispersion could be the best part about the elixir. But, let’s keep going. Pitching wedge. Uh, yeah, not bad. Uh, all close to the green or on the green, you know, average at best. Seven iron again. You know, I I mentioned this like I did with the QStar Tour, just really bad all over the place. I mean, left, right, up, down, distance issues, uh control issues, uh just not great. And then we get into the driver. Driver’s pretty good for the most part. Um the the main thing with the driver is, you know, it had a decent performance when it came to u the numbers and the ball speed and stuff. And so, the fact that it’s it’s paired with some really good accuracy, really the standout is the seven iron there. I just don’t know what happened with that 7 iron. But it, you know, it’s a mid iron. It’s a little less forgiving than some of your like pitching wedges and, you know, your drivers and stuff like that. So maybe that had something to do with it. But, um, for the most part, it’s not bad. I’m actually impressed. I thought it was going to be a lot worse than this. So, like I said, this is going to be the best part of it. All right, let’s talk some durability here. Let’s take a look at the Qstar Tour first. Looking at it, you know, I do see some scuffs. I see some uh some abrasions. This is the side here. I’m going to I’m going to let some of this fly because I had to hit this side over and over and over due to the fact that the uh little metallic dot for reading spin was on the other side. But still, that’s really bad. Even though I hit the same side over and over, that’s really really bad. You know, overall, I would call this a seven out of 10. Um it’s funny because if you guys remember last year when I tested the Divide version, it was a 10 out of 10. And that that still holds true. I did another test on the Divide. Um, and yeah, I mean, it’s still a 10 out of 10. So, that’s interesting. The matte golf balls always have had a little bit better durability for me. It’s no different now. I mean, this is a 7 out of 10, and if you get the Divide version, it’s a 10 out of 10. So, kind of interesting to see there. Then we get into the Diablo. Looking at it, this is actually really good. This held up really well. Um, there is a couple marks, there’s a couple dirt scratches, things like that, but for the most part, this is all intact. Feeling it. I I would absolutely trust this putting. This is a 9 out of 10. I would keep playing with this. I would give it another few holes until there’s a bigger cut or something on there. I love that. Yeah, for the value, you can’t beat it. And then looking at the Elixir, as you can see here, uh it’s pretty scratched up. It’s pretty banged up. Um yeah, there’s abrasions all over. There’s cuts all over. Uh it just doesn’t look good anymore. I definitely don’t trust it putting. And I don’t trust its flight. Um I I would call that a six out of 10. It’s just not great. Maybe six. It’s close to a five, but I’ll be nice and just give it the six out of 10. A little disappointing there. You know, urethane golf ball like this. Traditionally, they do a lot better. Um, but yeah, it’ll get you through a round maybe. Okay, so in conclusion, uh, these three golf balls, we’ll just go one by one because they’re all totally different. Let’s start with the Qstar Tour. Okay. Uh, the QSTR Tour does not do very well for my swing speed. I based on the research I have now, this is my third test in total uh with the QSTAR tour or fourth actually, excuse me, fourth and I think I have enough data built up to confidently say that this golf ball is for slow swingers, not moderate, not mid, slow. This is for guys who are swinging 85 mph and under. And specifically out of those guys, if you’re or ladies, either one, if you’re swinging 85 mph or under, this is going to be a golf ball for a really good golfer who, you know, you’ve played golf your whole life, you’re really good, you just don’t have the swing speed anymore, and you want a golf ball that has feel, control, green side, all that stuff. Nice low flight still, but you just don’t have that swing speed like you used to. You can’t play a prov, you can’t play a TP5. They’re just too firm for you. That’s what this golf ball is really good for. But for mid swingers, the data doesn’t lie. I was overcompressing the heck out of it. It’s dead in the hands. I felt the marshmallow. The spin is way way way way too much on like the pitching wedge. You can tell it’s just ballooning. Um there’s just no good numbers there. Everything’s low. And and you know, I basically can go one of two ways. I can either say the golf ball is terrible, which I know isn’t true, or I can say, “Look, it’s just for really slow swingers.” And that’s the case. It really is. It’s for slow slow swingers. Um, if you’re above that 85 mph, I think you’re going to get some really weird results with it. And again, I I try to look at it from all points. It had a good putting test. Greenside was decent for the most part, but that’s not enough to get you to spend $39.99 on a golf ball. It just isn’t. Now, I do have a video coming out either tomorrow or the next day, and I’m going to compare the results. It’s just going to be a quick video, but I’m going to compare the results to the Divide version. And essentially, what I did was I tested both. I got some different results and I want to share to you the differences between the two cuz a lot of you have asked for that over the last couple years about is there a huge difference between the regular white version and the divide version. There is and I’m going to go over those in that video. So stay tuned for that. So when it comes to the Callaway Diablo, I was actually pleasantly surprised. I don’t think it’s going to light up the scoreboard. I don’t think it’s going to be a top 10 golf ball or anything like that. But I’m I’m surprised. It’s above average. It spins really well. I think a lot of people, if you like value and want something like this Callaway, a little little firmer, clickier, but just a little bit. I mean, this is a great golf ball. I think a lot of you should try it for that. And look at the driver performance. Really, really eyeeping with the driver performance. Everything else, you know, good or above average, just slightly, but hey, sometimes that works. And what I like about it is the feel. It has this this nice firm press in the hands, but it has some power in there. It’s not like a rocket launcher, per se. There’s no bouncy ball. It’s kind of like shooting a 22, you know what I mean? It doesn’t have a ton of like kickback or anything, but it just feels smooth, and that’s kind of like what this is. It’s actually a really great feeling. I would definitely game that. I mean, again, it doesn’t light up the scoreboard, but if I had one on the course, I’d definitely game it. So, it could be worth a try for some of you. Then we get into the Encore Elixir, and this is where, unfortunately, I have to do what I don’t like to do every once in a while, which is where I have to go on a rant and I have to be kind of mean. Um, I’m really disappointed in Encore. And the reason I am is because essentially Encore, like I said, was one of the three original uh big direct to consumer golf ball companies. It was Cut, it was Vice, and it was them. I mean, everyone knew who they were. Everyone and over the last few years, they’ve just kind of hung in the shadows and just kind of let all these other companies come in and rise up. And if we if we take a look here, and I could be wrong, but if we take a look at this, you know, 2022, yeah, they came out with a new elixir model, but since then it’s been, okay, well, we’re going to make the the Vero X1 to try to be like the Prov1. Oh, okay. Yeah, you know, that wasn’t that wasn’t great. Well, now we’re going to make the Vero X2. It’s going to be like the Prov1. Oh, it’s not like the Prov1 either. It’s a good golf ball. Okay, so now we’re going to start developing this, you know, Vero XP golf ball, and it’s going to be like the Prov1. it’s going to be, you know, a tour ball for people to win tournaments with and and now they’ve been trying to make that for a couple years. And now all of a sudden it just feels like their other golf balls are just being left in the dust. And it’s like, what are you trying to do here? And all I know oncore for now is, yeah, Josh Allen’s one of your ambassadors. Cool. I don’t see why it’s relevant, but cool. Um, the Gary Player incident at the Masters, not great press, but that’s what I remember when I think of Encore now. And I just I don’t understand why you not updating these golf balls. Why are you not updating the great golf balls you have made already? The Avant 55, you know, the Elixir, your Vero X1 could use some improvements. The Vero X2 is great, but it still could use a little tweaking here and there, but you just sit silently. I don’t see any advertisements for Encore anymore, and it’s just it’s really disappointing. Now, at this point, when I do my rankings for companies, Encore is going to be toward the bottom. I I need to see more. And even the Vero XP, it hasn’t even released yet. If you go on their website, all it does is just say, “Oh, sign up for, you know, when we get it ready.” I mean, at this point with them working on it for 3 4 years. I hope it’s a decent golf ball. I mean, my goodness, I I would hope it’s decent. I don’t know. I I just long story short, I’m just disappointed. I That’s all it really is. You know, this was a golf ball that I tested way back in the day. It was one of the first golf balls, one of the first 20, I think, I tested. And I just expected more. That’s all. All right, guys. As always, keep watching, keep saving, keep learning. Next, we have up the Shrixen soft field with a couple others going up against it. I’ll see you in a few days.
