OnCore is bringing tour-level performance direct-to-consumers for better prices and outstanding feel. OnCore is best suited for players that want tour-level consistency, better prices, and a luxurious soft-feel.

OnCore ELIXR Detailed Review
Design and Technology
The OnCore ELIXR golf ball is a 3-piece construction that uses a polybutadiene rubber core, a metal-infused ionomer mantle layer, and a urethane cover to give players a diverse spin profile and softer feel. Each layer is designed to give players lower spin from the driver and longer clubs for distance while maintaining spin and control around the greens with wedges and short irons. The OnCore golf ball is one of the softest on the market making it a luxury experience during chips and putts. One of the greatest advantages of OnCore balls is the continuous bulk pricing and the offering of a color selection that makes visualization easier during year-round play.
Our Experience
Golf ball testing begins and ends mostly with feel and control around the greens. Premium golf balls will lend themselves to repeatable performance as you try to sure up shots after missed greens or control distance during your putting. The first impression of the OnCore ELIXR was its unique feel. The ELIXR is one of the softest tour-level golf balls I have ever played. It is an absolute pleasure to putt and chip with. The beauty of the 3-piece construction is that the softness does not completely dull the feedback required to play great golf and I believe that this is truly the hallmark of the ELIXR golf ball.
Golfers that want luxury feel but know they must retain a sense of feedback from their golf ball will love the ELIXR’s performance. I continued to be impressed with how soft the ELIXR golf ball felt while still providing me a perfect sense of where I was striking the ball on the clubface.
Specs
The OnCore ELIXR golf ball is available in three different color options, white, yellow, and lime matte green. All three colors retain a similar playing profile and offer golfers a variety of visual options without sacrificing performance. ELIXR golf balls are sold as individual units for $35 total but can be order in sets of 3 or 6 to reduce the price further. Sets of 3 will be sold at a price of $33 and sets of 6 for $29.83.
Conclusion
Professional golfers are paid to use the golf ball they play on TV and on Tour, it is likely that you, are not. Paying top dollar for golf balls will not ensure that you are playing better golf and the largest determining factor in golf ball performance consistency is playing the same golf ball every shot and every round. The bulk pricing model and superb performance of the OnCore ELIXR golf ball bring tour-level performance to golfers at prices that allow them to get the best out of their game each time they hit the course.
