XXIO has been very busy lately with the release of the XXIO 12 and XXIO X lines. However, there’s just one more thing to add to the list, and that is the new Rebound Drive golf ball.

Rebound Drive is a new 3-piece golf ball that combines a FastLayer Core (soft), High Resilient RB Mid Layer (firm), and Super Soft RB Cover (soft). This construction is reminiscent of the Rebound Frame we see so heavily featured in the new XXIO club lines and helps produce high ball speeds on drivers and irons while maintaining enhanced spin on approach shots so that golfers can achieve optimal control. According to XXIO, Rebound Drive combines the distance of the XXIO Eleven golf ball with the spin of the XXIO X-EKS, making it a ball of little sacrifice.

Rebound Drive specs out more as a distance golf ball that launches high and feels very soft. It casts a pretty wide net for a swing speed recommendation, but it would probably be a sweet spot for golfers with a driver swing speed between 80-95 MPH. For those interested in compression ratings, Rebound Drive checks in with a rating of 78.

Do you use a line on your ball when putting? If so, the new Navigate Line 2.0 might be of some interest. This enlarged alignment system has four different parts, including a concentration mark in the center to help keep your eyes focused on the ball. A target line to help line up your putt, as well as an intersecting line to help with putter face angle. Little arrows make up a stroke navigator within the thick target line, which sets to help players focus on their putting stroke. These marks are very noticeable, so as stated earlier, if you use a line on your golf ball, this could be for you.

Within XXIO’s internal testing, Rebound Drive has proven to beat other current golf balls in areas such as speed off the driver, driving distance, and 7-iron distance, all while still maintaining higher spin on approach shots. That combination is quite impressive.

XXIO golf clubs always seem to have a little bit of flair to them, and these golf balls will be no different as they are available in four color options: White, Premium White, Lime Yellow, and Premium Pink.

Interesting. It’s not quite triple track level, but it might be my 2nd most favorite alignment aid I’ve seen on a golf ball. I really like the way it looks, don’t love the price point though. Just not sure I’d risk buying these over another premium brand at the same price point.
I have a sleeve of these I am going to put in play tomorrow.
Looking forward to it and like the alignment line quite a bit.
I’ve never come across an XXIO ball before, but I really do like the alignment line here. Be interesting to hear reviews from these in the wild.
The alignment aide is well done I like that it’s useful and not just the name of the ball.
Given the corporate tree, I am expecting good things! As with all XXIO price is premium
I was not aware of the XXIO golf balls. Interested in how they hold up over time. I like the alignment as well.

I’m not a guy who regularly uses a line for putting, but I’ve dabbled with this one for the last week or so. It’s big and easily noticeable.
Love the alignment, hate the price!

Price is such an interesting dynamic with golf balls.
Price them low and people think they are inferior (see Q-STAR Tour) price them too high and people think “why should I try these”? Its such a tough nut to crack.
If you were setting the price of a premium brand like XXIO, what would you have priced them at?
Nice work on XXIO new releases [USER=782]@ddec[/USER] !
So, is this a relabled QSTAR/QSTR Tour Ball?
That alignment has a “JDM” feel to it.
A lot of Golf Balls if seen from the Asia market have vertical and horizontal lines on them.
Actually, not as expensive as I was expecting.
WWIO is so singular in their approach. Gotta respect that.

no, it’s a different ball than the QST.
The writeup makes it look like this would be a ball aimed right in my wheelhouse, with a driver speed between 95-100 depending on the day. However the price and potential availability for me would be barriers to trying it out. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a XXIO ball out in the wild or on the shelf anywhere. Plus, this type of ball is in a VERY crowded marketplace.
I like the alignment tool – it’s interesting with the little – – on it.
The alignment aid is interesting. Is the cover similar or in the same vein as the ERC Soft?
This appears to be a ball that would work for me and I do like the alignment aid. I will be interested to hear more from those who have put it in play.

really surprised more people haven’t gone with a vice-style pricing where a single box still has a “premium” price but buying multiple gets a discount.
seems like best of both worlds.
guess doing that through retail would be fairly complicated though.
I like the alignment aid it looks good. I have never seen XXIO balls for sale anywhere here. I would try them and the price is no worse than any other high end ball.

Nice writeup Dean, the alignment aid on this reminds me of an old school propeller plane and it looks pretty sweet.

Sadly no, weather didn’t cooperate and hasn’t, but they are in the bag for next weeks round.
I really do like the thought process for the alignment aid here. Pretty well thought out actually and I like it quite a bit. It does have some nice color options. $49.99/dz deters me some, but mostly because I don’t consider XXIO a ball maker. Don’t want to pass judgment on them without first trying them though. Can’t wait to hear what THPers have to say.
I played this ball today and kind of dig it. Low spin off the tee, good durability and looks great with a light shimmer to it
I used a sleeve of the all day long for my singles match at Rivalry. I lost one ball, but otherwise had no issue. Low spin off the tee, nice mid to high ball flight and had plenty of spin on approach shots, including one that sucked back about 15 feet (slightly uphill green). It worked well for me, as a lot of the softer balls do. It also looks great, with a slight shimmer from the cover.
I used the pink one today, didn’t lose a ball and it continued to work well for me. Good distance, great feel and plenty of launch.
What do you guys think of this? Too much or just right?

I started messing with it on the greens and home because I feel like my alignment is just off and it’s frustrating. I had a mix of this and CSX TT going.

Kinda like it, if they brought the smaller lines back to make it easier to align to the face like more so a sword it would look really nice to my eye.
I don’t hate the alignment aid there…the green color meh
Missed this article, but saw [USER=3]@JB[/USER] playing these at Shaft Up #2. These sound right up my alley. Anyone got some comps to more popular balls? They don’t seem like a comp to other low spin high launch balls as those are generally ultra high compression.
[QUOTE=”Landy, post: 10778991, member: 21078″]
Any new insight?
[/QUOTE]
What would you like to know?
Used it a lot. Low spin, soft cover despite not being urethane, great distance. If you have something specific I can certainly dive in deeper to that area based on my experience.
Thank you [USER=3]@JB[/USER]
How does it compare to others in the Srixon range. Where does it fall in?

Really quite different.
Cover is softer based on spin and texture of that of Soft Feel. Ball also feels softer compression wise than that of Q-STAR Tour.
Definitely low spin off the tee. I dont have much to compare it to, because it looks and feels so different.
[USER=3]@JB[/USER] hello. This is great insight thank you. Will pick up a dz to try. Will keep you posted.
I found one on a golf trip in South Carolina last week and I played 3 holes with it. What sold me on it was the sound it made at impact with my epic driver. i played all 3 holes at even par and lost it on the 4th hole in a pond I didn’t know about 300 plus yards from the tee. They have a certain feel to they and act like an AVX. I have some coming in the mail.
