Volvik has expanded its premium golf ball range and there is sure to be something to suit your game

Volvik has expanded its premium golf ball line-up with the launch of the Condor range, and they promise to be far more than just your another option.

Best known for their vibrant designs, Volvik has made a name for themselves offering premium options at a more reasonable price.

Now they are back with a new range developed by the brand’s research and development team in Korea. The six-ball line-up has been engineered to optimise performance across different swing speeds.

From the Tour-calibre Condor and Condor X models to the softer S3 and S4 Tour Soft options, each ball in the range has been built with a specific player profile in mind.

So which Condor ball is right for you? Here’s everything you need to know about the new range…

Volvik Condor Golf Balls: The Technology

Each model has been engineered to optimise launch, spin and feel for a specific type of swing speed.

At the centre of the Condor golf balls is Volvik’s Hyper White Carbon core technology. These cores have been engineered to deliver strong energy transfer at impact.

This helps to generate higher ball speeds and more a efficient launch.

Different variations of the core are used throughout the range. Variations that include Power, Soft and Dual Power designs. In turn this allows Volvik to fine-tune performance for different swing speeds and launch preferences.

The Condor range features both three-piece and four-piece constructions. This layering system allows engineers to separate driver and iron performance by controlling how energy moves through the ball.

The result is reduced spin with the driver to increase distance. This is combined with higher spin on approach shots for improved control around the greens.

Some models in the range include Elastin mantle layers, which sit between the core and the cover. These layers help manage energy transfer within the ball and contribute to faster ball speeds while maintaining soft feel.

The Condor and Condor X balls feature soft cast urethane covers. Volvik say these provide the high levels of friction required for excellent greenside spin and shot control.

The S3 and S4 Tour Soft balls use a patented L.R.T urethane cover. This iteration places a greater focus on delivering a soft feel whilst also improving durability.

The balls also incorporate specially engineered dimple patterns to promote stable flight.

The Condor and Condor X models use a 336 Perfect Symmetrical Dimple Pattern, which helps produce a consistent and penetrating trajectory.

Meanwhile, the S3 and S4 Tour Soft models use 322 Double Flat Dimples, which reduce air resistance and help maintain stability during flight.

Volvik Condor Golf Balls: The Line-up

The Volvik Condor range features four new golf ball models; the Condor, the Condor X, the Condor S3 and the S4 Tour Soft. Here’s a closer look at each model…

Condor

Condor X

Main Attributes: There is a real focus on distance here as it is designed to deliver explosive ball speeds and a higher overall spin rate.

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
