Volvik Condor X Golf Ball Review: NCG Summary
NCG SUMMARY
The Condor X is Volvik’s premium, tour level golf ball offering. It features a firm 95-compression construction and a four-piece urethane design that places it directly in competition with models like the tour approved Titleist Pro V1x.
It delivers strong launch-monitor numbers, impressive wedge spin, and a feel that comfortably matches other leading tour balls.
PROS
- Loads of spin around the greens
- Low, penetrating ball flight
- Good value-for-money
CONS
- Geared towards faster swing speed golfers
First Impressions
It offers a clean aesthetic. The logo text is clean and thin, and the Condor X side-stamp presents a tidy and functional alignment aid. Volvik has produced something that looks and feels high-end, with the red design standing out in particular for me.
NCG Review
Let’s kick this review off by going through the tech. The Condor X distinguishes itself from its three-piece sibling, the Condor, through its four-piece construction and its more advanced internal design. It features what Volvik calls a Hyper W Carbonic Power Core, a dual-mantle layer system, and a urethane cover.
Just your average golf technology naming. Whilst we may all be confused about the naming of the technologies, the performance suggests that they work effectively to deliver the speed and spin required from a modern tour-quality ball.
A good short game is what makes the best players stand out and I was impressed with what I saw spin wise. It sit comfortably in the premium bracket. I was able to generate 7,500 rpm of spin with wedge shots which is what I would expect from a high-quality urethane ball – so plenty of stopping power.
Moving further through the bag, I found the performance continued to be impressive. With a carry of 165 yards and a total distance of 180 yards, it behaved very similarly to balls such as the Pro V1 or TP5x when I had a seven iron in hand.
I think most people will be interested in how it performs off the tee. Well with a driver it created excellent speed and a stable ball flight. It generated a ball speed of 160.5 mph and a low spin rate of around 2,100 rpm, which helped to generate a strong, penetrating trajectory.Â

Overall, I thought this was a very impressive golf ball. It certainly belongs in the premium, upper tier of golf balls on the market currently. My expectations for this golf ball weren’t anything crazy, so to find a golf ball that produces the ball speeds, spin rates, and flight characteristics of a more established tour offering, was a nice surprise.
The softer feel around the greens and off the putter face was surprisingly satisfying. And then there’s the price. It offers genuine value-for-money, delivering top quality tour performance without breaking the bank.
Golfers who generate higher swing speeds or prefer a firmer Pro V1x-style feel will find this ball immediately playable and easy to trust.
