Ready For An OnCore!

I’m so ready for an OnCore. No, not an encore, but an OnCore, like the golf ball. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to test out the OnCore golf Avant and Caliber in 2016 and was really impressed with them. While neither one fit my swing and performance needs perfectly, it was obvious that OnCore golf knew what they were doing with those balls. The Avant, their distance ball, was extremely playable for a “rock ball” which is typically what I call a distance ball. The Caliber was nice as well, but I just felt that it was a bit off for me.

In early 2017, OnCore finally released the ELIXR, their softer covered, higher spin ball that would rival the best of the best on the market. The good part of the ELIXR is that the price point had it pinned at a 3 dozen to 2 dozen ratio with all the other “tour balls” on the market. To say the least I was intrigued by the new offering. Unfortunately, 2017 flew past me with home buying, dance competitions and just life in general and I didn’t get a chance to test out the new ball. 2018 I starting out a bit different as I won an 18Birdies App giveaway of the ELIXR and have the box in hand ready to go on my next round of golf.

Now to be honest, I won’t be able to get a serious look at the ball until we get some drier weather in the Seattle area, but I have to say, after testing out the Snell Golf MTB again in my last round and shooting a 65 with it, I’m more than excited to get the OnCore ELIXR out there to see what it will do. If it plays anything like the Snell, I should see my driver yardage up about 20 yards over my standard Wilson Zip (about 10 yards over the Wilson Duo) and much better stopping power on the greens. Let me leave it at that for now, and stay tuned for the play by play of my next round with the OnCore ELIXR.
