Volvik Condor and Condor X Golf Balls Review

Go to article
SuperStroke
Im going to run a test on these with the driver, because early on, the Condor is giving me really really good results. Almost dead on numbers to Pro V1 and Srixon Z-Star
 
The driver numbers are interesting to me and honestly I might consider slightly shorter avg for higher flight, especially in the summer time when courses dry up
 
Great write up. Dean you always deliver. I recall using Condors way back when they were british size and illegal in US. Got a few just for haha's.
 
Nice writeup! The differences between the two balls off driver is pretty interesting
 
Just spent a good 90+ minutes hitting shots on the ST+, from wedge matrix, to iron target practice, and then some long iron work. I'm pretty impressed with the Condor ball.
 
Huh. Interesting.. I will try them..

This was me yesterday, minus the 90 minutes part. Just hit 8 irons for a bit and then wedge matrix working with some various golf balls. The Condor is pretty impressive to me.
 
 
Interesting but somehow I can't get past the "old" Condor name, however, they do make a ball called the XT soft which is a urethane cover at 70 compression and it's under $40! Something soft and with spin...up my alley.

Little evening comparison work around the green.

First thoughts. This is just on the standard Condor. The sound is a little more clicky to my ear compared to the TP5s and chrome soft X LS I brought to compare against.

Initial launch “seems” a little higher on chips as well which typically indicates a little less spin off the face but it also seems to be checking up and rolling out the same as the other so I am not sure.

Of the putter it also seemed a little clicky but does not necessarily feel firm..
 
Played the Condor today for quite about 27 holes. I actually really enjoyed the experience. Doesn’t feel too firm, distance off the tee was solid. Greenside and iron spin wasn’t as good as Chrome Tour for me though today. A little mist this morning may have affected that though. Really looking forward to trying the X
 
I’ll get a photo too but color is a bit more off white than bright white and the seam is noticeable if anyone cares about that
 
Got my test packs in today along with my new wedges. That’s surely a sign to do a little short game comparison with a Pro V1. So out the my short game area, aka backyard, I went. These are just a few initial impressions, not a review. That will come when I can get them on the course.

Condor - Soft but not too soft. A little firmer that the Pro V. Sound is similar to my ear. Ball flight and spin look the same to me. I don’t have any numbers to back that up, just the eye test. Initial impression is if you like the Pro V you’ll like this.

Condor X - It’s the firmest of the bunch by a lot. Sounded really clicky off the face also. I’ve been playing the Left Dash this year and the Condor X felt firmer. It may not be, I didn’t grab a Left Dash to go against, I’ll compare them head to head later. Ball flight was higher than the Pro V and Condor. It definitely seemed to spin less. It had a noticeable amount of rollout compared to those two. Not really sure how I feel about this one.

What did stand out to me was the consistency of each ball. They’re pretty different from what I can tell but they each do what they do the same every shot. In this session anyway. I’ll know more when I can get them on the course.
