1. All the PGA Tour pros play urethane balls exclusively.
2. You will hit closer to the pin with a urethane ball. Shorter putts mean more made putts no matter what your handicap is.
3. Urethane balls are always the highest performing golf balls out of any maker's line-up.
4. The urethane ball feels better when struck with any club in your bag.
5. Urethane balls are more expensive to manufacture. They therefore have more precise tolerances and more rigorous quality control standards applied to them (even for parts unrelated to the urethane cover).
6. Urethane balls are nearly perfectly balanced—and that means straighter putts and drives.
7. The dimples' shape and depth are more consistently controlled giving you straighter, longer drives.
8. Multi-piece urethane balls have low driver spin for more distance and higher wedge spin around the greens.

How did we test the balls?

To prove to ourselves that a new product performs well enough to offer it to you, we rely on our testing facility. At the heart of our facility is the Iron Byron swing robot. This machine imitates the golf swing of the late golfing great Byron Nelson, who arguably had the best golf swing of any man ever. The Iron Byron duplicates this human swing, every single time.

All during the test we monitor weather conditions gathered from the weather station that sits high above the roof. Wind velocity and direction, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure must all be within tight tolerances to continue. If at any time these fall outside the proper range we suspend testing until conditions permit.

For the distance measurements, the balls are hit down a 320 yard long fairway with yardage markers. Field testers place sensors where the ball lands (for carry) and where it finally stops (total distance). The distance of those sensors is then calculated using an engineering-grade laser measuring instrument. It captures the data electronically and sends it to a record in a computer database that also contains the weather data simultaneously captured from other equipment. As an additional check, the electronic distance measurements are confirmed with the field testers via two way radios.

For the spin measurements, each ball has special markings applied for later analysis. It is then hit with a wedge in the Iron Byron. A high-speed camera takes up to 10 images recording the first 10 inches of the ball's flight. The images of the marked ball are merged into one and that is then computer analyzed, calculating and recording the spin rate, launch angle and ball velocity.

The Iron Byron swing robot allowed us to compare the MG Tour C4 performance against the Pro V1 under identical conditions with identical hits. Our measurements included carry distance, total distance, accuracy, and wedge spin rates. The data produced from these rigorous tests lets us confidently say without hesitation, the Tour C4 BEAT Pro V1!
