The last two years have been crazy busy for Buffalo, N.Y.-based OnCore Golf, makers of the industry’s only perimeter-weighted golf balls. The direct-to-consumer company rolled out (no pun intended) its new three-piece ELIXR and four-piece VERO X2 during that span, both of which have earned numerous accolades and awards due to their distance and accuracy. OnCore – which boasts Buffalo QB Josh Allen and financial legend Charles Schwab as major investors – now offers the following golf ball lineup:
VERO X2 – OnCore’s relatively new four-piece ball featuring a 95-compression for golfers with high swing speeds who also want total control around the greens. ($50 a dozen)
VERO X1 – The flagship four-piece Tour ball that topped Titleist Pro V1® and Pro V1x® in driver and iron testing by Golf EQ including 60% less sidespin. ($40 a dozen)
ELIXR 2022 – The revamped ELIXR features a new urethane cover, 350 dimple pattern and an increased compression rating of 84. ($30 a dozen)
ELIXR 2020 – The company’s first 80-compression three-piece ball still offers the perfect feel around the greens and added distance and accuracy off the tee. ($30 a dozen)
AVANT 55 – Ideal for golfers with slower swing speeds, the super soft, two-piece AVANT 55 offers big results at a budget-friendly price. ($20 a dozen)
A big push in 2023 is Club OnCore, which one media outlet referred to (and we paraphrase) as the “Amazon Prime” of the direct-to-consumer golf world. Basically, golfers can pay an annual fee of $250 for Club OnCore Plus or $100 for Club OnCore Basic and get free shipping and big-time discounts on golf balls, gear, customization, and partner offers.
And as always, golfers who haven’t tested OnCore golf balls on the course to get a feel for the advantages of perimeter weighting can always order a Performance Pack for just $35 that includes the VERO X1, X2, ELIXR 2022 and AVANT 55.
OnCore’s having a major impact on the games of amateur and recreational players, but it’s also continuing its reach into the realm of professional golf as well. In 2023, OnCore became the official golf ball of the EPSON and APGA Tours and continued its long-running partnership with PGA TOUR / Korn Ferry Tour player Erik Compton.
