After 99 prototypes and the most exhaustive testing, we've put a Mizuno ball through, we created the perfect duo for our next generation of tour players. Both the RB Tour and RB Tour X feel sensationally soft at impact, as you would expect from Mizuno. Both lower spinning and efficient from the driver. With an AXIALFLOW dimple that creates a high launch from the driver (compared to other tour-type balls) and a flatter flight from the short irons (compared to other tour-type balls).
"The ultimate difference with the new RB Tour has been the time spent working on the prototypes - 3 years of player, robot and greenside feedback across every possible performance attribute. Via parallel R&D teams - our original ball group in Japan, backed up by our unit in Atlanta US." David Llewellyn - Director of R&D / Mizuno USA
Our most exhaustively tested balls ever: Mizuno set 2 R&D teams the task of working in parallel for over three years to identify the ideal balance of construction, compression, dimple configuration and cover.

AXIALFLOW dimple
On full shots, the new dimple generates a higher driver flight and flatter wedge flight, when compared to other tour-level balls.
Sensationally soft feel is not everything
A soft feel is always expected from Mizuno - but the new RB Tour cover was tested for over three years to ensure its durability is equally satisfying.
Just 272 dimples for a more defined look
A larger, more defined dimple creates a more precise outline and visual effect preferred by the majority of our testers.
Choose RB Tour X for low driver spin and RB Tour for even lower: Golf balls engineered for a new generation of faster clubhead speed players.
"We purposefully slanted the performance of both RB Tour models towards our younger elite players. Both models launch high off the driver - one with low spin, the other lower. Yet both balls demonstrated a flatter flight from full wedge shots. A remarkable accomplishment from the aerodynamics team in Japan." Chris Voshall – Director of Product / Mizuno USA
