The Science Behind OnCore Golf Balls
OnCore isn’t guessing when it designs performance golf balls. They lean on physics and high-tech materials to boost stability, control, and carry.
Perimeter Weighting and MOI
• Strategic mass placement near the outer edge
• Increased moment of inertia (MOI) for wind-resistant flight
• Fits players who slice or hook under pressure
Material Layers and Compression
• Multi-layer cores tuned for driver speed and spin control
• Cast urethane or Surlyn blends for feel and durability
• Compression ratings from 55 to 95 to match swing tempos
These features let you dial in spin, trajectory, and feel. No more guesswork or random test flights. If you want tailored coaching on how your swing interacts with these layers, Immerse yourself in the transformative Zen Golf Experience, curated by our esteemed Zen Coach, Darren Webster-Clarke.
