Thank you.
Mizuno RB Tour and RB Tour X Golf Ball Review Thread
Your welcome, I think?
I have played this ball for the last 13 months. It's a keeper for me. Where it was manufactured was not a deciding factor for me.

For golf ball models I like to know compression and also country or origin. In recent years Srixon is the only brand I know of that lists compression numbers for their models. On the packaging all the brands have country of origin written.
Just really now noticing: the Mizuno name isn’t anywhere on the ball. Just the running bird logo. A few playing partners have really questioned “what the hell is this ball?” when trying to identify my ball. Folks maybe just aren’t used to seeing that on a ball just yet.
Will ask the team at the Victory Cup if the next iteration of this ball perhaps might adopt the Mizuno scripting found on irons which might be more familiar.

The bird is the word!
I sure hope not. I think the current graphics are perfect.
I never noticed that. I had a similar experience where a playing partner in league misidentified my ball and I almost had to go back to the tee. I asked if that was my Mizuno and he asked Chrome Tour? Another guy said “triangles” when he was grabbing my provisional. And a third didn’t know that Mizuno made golf balls.
It might be obvious to some of us but I think golf logos that don’t include the manufacturer’s name aren’t recognized by the general public. I think the ball looks good with just the running bird logo but I can’t help but wonder if that affects recognition. Especially considering the display side of the dozen does not include the Mizuno name.
I see both sides here - having just the logo is a differentiator, as most (all?) other balls have the brand name. I can only think of Bridgestone, but at least that’s a B so it’s an easy association.
I’m a Mizuno homer so just trying to figure out how to get these in more hands.
Having pounded the daylights (relative to me) out of the current balls today I find this to be inappropriate gif level exciting.
Oh so yeah since ball thread I was feeling decent today, and salty about not playing yesterday, so I compared a couple driver setups..
..and touched 180 ball speed 4 times with the RB Tour.
Not. Too. Shabby, Mizuno.

Played the RB Tour today - Nice ball!
Had some nice draws from the tee today. Lands soft on the wedges.
No torn covers - Cover held up well.
Will be playing the "X" tomorrow.

Ok, played the RB Tour X today - Like it more than the "Regular" Tour.
Seemed like I got more distance from the ball and it sat nice for wedge shots.
Both balls impressed me with no scuff or cut marks at all - much improved over the last gen.

Got a dozen of the RB Tour X over the weekend. I have a tee time Thursday afternoon. Hopefully the swing is working and I can get some useful thoughts.
At that sale price they're definitely a solid value.
