The new Wilson FG Tour Urethane Golf Balls are optimized for use with golf clubs using the new grooves required by the USGA/R&A to satisfy condition of competition rules. The new grooves in new and upcoming clubs will produce less friction and therefore less spin and control, prompting golf balls to become the solution to the Tour-inspired problem. The Wilson FG Tour Urethane golf balls are multi-layer urethane golf balls, which produce tour caliber spin, maximum greenside control and excellent distance. In short, the FG Tour sticks (creates more friction) to the shallower and softer edges of the new grooves in golf clubs. Keep reading for more information. Read the rest of this entry »
