Mizuno launches new RB566 and RB MAX golf balls for 2024

New 566 soft feel and MAX speed dual-core models added to Mizuno portfolio

Mizuno has unveiled an improved version of its RB566 Balanced Performance ball and a completely new high-speed ball, the RB MAX, to be available from 2024.

“Testing with real golfers, we’ve seen that there genuinely isn’t a ‘best’ ball for everyone.  No one wants to leave yards on the table, and everyone wants great feel and spin around the greens.  Yet how we create that is very dependent on clubhead speed and the playing conditions.”

Mizuno RB566

BALANCED PERFORMANCE WITH SOFT FEEL

The RB566 is an even softer feeling version of its predecessor with a new micro-dimple configuration to maintain hang-time past the apex of flight.  With a softer yet higher energy core, the RB566 offers a great balance of high trajectory, soft feel and all-round performance.

“With a softer ball like the RB566, feel is a priority and aerodynamics become the key to maintaining distance.  We’ve found that at lower swing speeds, the higher, straighter flight of the RB566 and impact of the smaller dimples outweigh any minor loss of ball speed (of a harder ball).

Suitable for mid to low swing speeds.

• New high energy, soft feel core:  Creates a satisfying balance of ball speed and softer feel.

• Micro / D-dimple design for added hang time:  At mid/low ball speeds, the lift effect of both Micro and D-Dimples become effective at extending overall flight.
