WHY USE A 3-PIECE BALL?
The Tour 900 is a ball for advanced golfers. We need it to go long when driving, and to stop very quickly when attacking the green. These are two conflicting attributes. For driving, you need a ball that flies off the face of the driver quickly and with little backspin. And for wedging, on the contrary, you need maximum backspin. To achieve this, we need a 3-piece ball.
3-PIECE URETHANE
The core is what ensures the initial speed of the ball and the urethane cover grips the grooves of the club to generate backspin. The Tour 900 ball's Surlyn midlayer serves as the interface between the core and the urethane cover. It fine-tunes the balance between distance, softness and control.
CLASSIC OR GLITTER
The Tour 900 comes in two colours: white or yellow. The yellow Tour 900 has an attractive glittery finish to make it shine even brighter on the fairway.
Take your aim
Across the range, we have redesigned the Inesis ball alignment line to make it more effective without being off-putting if you are not using it. And if you pair it with one of the new Inesis putters, that's when the magic happens!
IT'S HAD A MAKEOVER
The Tour 900 ball now comes in a brand new colourway — ice blue — which is a white shade with a slight tinge of blue. Of course, it's still a white ball, but if you compare it to the old version, you'll notice a slight difference which reinforces its luxury aspect.
We've also worked on the marking. The figure is now in black, which is the standard for balls with a compression around 90/95 (it's red for balls with a compression over 100).
