Golf Monthly Verdict

All three XL7000 balls are all out distance offerings. Again it is hard to pick out big differences between the flights of all three but there is no doubting the length they helped to provide. Don’t expect to get too much spin on approach shots.

Three distance balls designed to offer different levels of spin and feel. All three Top-flite XL7000 balls are softer than the previous XL5000 to help generate more control around the greens. The Super Long reduces the most spin off the driver to help produce as much performance as possible.
