Xtreme
A three-piece urethane (soft, grippy cover) tour ball with a high-speed polybutadiene core (a rubber-like material used in the ball's center) delivering low driver spin for distance and high greenside spin for control at a competitive premium price.
What do these specs mean?
Compression
How soft the ball feels. Lower numbers (70–80) compress easier and help slower swings get distance. Higher (90+) rewards faster swings.
Cover
Surlyn is tough and cheap — great for distance and durability. Urethane is softer and grips wedges for more spin around the green.
Layers
2-piece: simple, long, straight. 3-piece and 4-piece add layers for more feel and spin control on approach shots.
Trajectory
How high the ball flies. Low = flatter flight with more roll. High = peaks up and lands soft. Mid = balanced.
Spin
Low spin = straighter shots, less curve, more roll. High spin = more control and stopping power on the green (but also magnifies slices/hooks).
Tier
Price bucket. Value = budget-friendly distance balls. Mid = solid all-around. Premium = tour-level spin and feel, costs more per dozen.
Best For
Try a sleeve first — ~$5 for 3 balls before committing to a dozen.

Who It’s For
The PXG Xtreme is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize tour players, tour performance, distance and control, mid-to-high swing speed. In the PXG lineup, the Xtreme sits softer than the PXG Xtreme Tour X.
Feel
With a compression of 88 and a urethane cover, feel is balanced — soft enough for touch shots, firm enough for a lively tee strike.
Spin Profile
Expect balanced driver spin — neither squirrelly in the wind nor knuckling short. Around the green, the cover gives you tour-level greenside spin and one-hop-stop performance on full wedges.
Trajectory & Construction
A mid-flight window — versatile across course conditions. The 3-piece construction uses a three-piece design — one mantle layer manages driver spin while the cover handles wedge grip. Works best in warmer conditions.
Price & Value
Priced at $39.99 per dozen, the Xtreme sits in the value-tour sweet spot — roughly 80% of premium performance for 65% of the cost.
Buy it if

- Greenside spin and stopping power matter more than durability.
Skip it if
- You’re playing below 50°F — consider a softer-feeling ball in the cold.
