Lake Balls - Hx Tour Grade B Design and Technology The HX Tour golf ball is a three-piece, solid-core golf ball with a urethane cover - a similar construction to most premium golf balls on the market today. Callaway's Rule 35 golf balls were among the first such balls on the market in 2000, and the HX Tour represents the latest and greatest in the genre. A high-resilience rubber core is surrounded by a ionomer mantle layer and a thin thermoset urethane cover. The cover is only 0.018" thick, much thinner than many other premium balls, which leaves more room for the core - the distance engine of the golf ball - while still leaving a thick enough layer of urethane to grip the grooves of your irons for plenty of short-game spin. The most visible part of the HX Tour's design difference is the patented HEX aerodynamic pattern on the cover. This geometric pattern of hexagonal and pentagonal shapes makes the HX Tour and Callaway's other balls with the technology (HX Hot, HX Pearl, and Big Bertha balls) the only premium balls on the market without round dimples. The idea behind the HEX pattern is that the construction helps reduce drag during the flight of each shot while adding lift, especially toward the end of the ball's flight. The HEX pattern also works to keep the ball on its intended line better in windy conditions. The HEX pattern used on the HX Tour and HX Tour 56 balls is more advanced than the pattern used on the company's non-urethane balls - you can actually see how each indentation is multi-faceted, which gives you an idea of the precision required to produce these balls. Please note: Although they look and feel like new, used and refinished balls are not covered by the original manufacturer warranties
