OnCore Golf’s ELIXR Tour Ball Earns Second Straight Gold
Golf Digest Releases 17th Annual Golf Ball Hot List
BUFFALO, NY – OnCore Golf’s ELIXR tour ball was selected and awarded – for the second straight year – a prestigious Gold Medal by Golf Digest Hot List in the $26 – $35 per dozen category.
Each year, Golf Digest does an intense testing of select golf balls in order to share with the golf world their findings of the best of the best. Golf Digest judges conduct their testing with insight from three independent panels. The scientists advise on innovation, retailers determine demand, and players assess performance. A product’s ranking is based on its weighted average across these criteria, with performance, innovation, appearance, sound and feel largely determining the total score.
The ELIXR’s unique core and mantle construction consist of a proprietary perimeter-weighted design. By shifting weight from the inner core to the outer layers, the ELIXR offers golfers more accuracy and forgiveness off the tee. Additionally, the aerodynamic stability from the high moment of inertia allows the ball to outperform rivals in windy conditions and the feel off wedges and the putter is simply unmatched.
OnCore Golf, which began life as a patented golf ball company, has significantly expanded its activities and technology assets over the past several years. Nonetheless, it remains committed to delivering best-in-class products and proving to golfers that they haven’t lost sight of the importance of their golf balls delivering the best performance possible and continuing to innovate and improve.
“This recognition by Golf Digest is a huge statement to the golf world that this team of innovative and collaborative people at OnCore are capable of bringing significant advancements and value to the great game of golf and across multiple verticals – from products to technologies to experiences. We are thrilled that the ELIXR has earned Gold for the second year in a row and look forward to announcing major milestones of similar importance relating to our other projects,” stated Keith Blakely, CEO of OnCore Golf.
In the past year, OnCore Golf has announced several disruptive projects including the Golf Boost Artificial Intelligence swing analysis app, the iPuttTM ball, OnRange Experience (www.onrange.golf) and a major golf, sports, and hotel complex being built in Buffalo, NY (www.oncorebuffalo.com) .
