Brand new JPX balls released by Mizuno
Mizuno have announced their new JPX golf ball aiming to delay ball descent when in flight.
The Japanese company worked closely with the Fukuoka Institute of Technology to create a new technology to slow down ball descent.
The new technology adds a cluster of micro-dimples around a large dimple to extend the time the ball is in the air therefore increasing ball distance.
“The micro-dimples have little effect at higher ball speeds generated at impact. However as the ball peaks and slows, they start to take effect. By stalling the descent phase just a fraction, we were able to increase the JPX’s overall airtime.” said Masashi Tamakoshi, Head of Golf Ball Development.
In addition to the new JPX balls, Mizuno is also releasing the MP-S and MP-X balls for better players.
