Our Story

Come along as we build it.

We are getting ready to release the first Eclipse golf ball, and we are excited to bring you along as we build it. This page will be a running look at the process: the testing, the decisions, the changes, and the progress that takes us from an early idea to the ball we eventually put in play.

Progress

What moved this month: prototypes made, rounds played, numbers we are chasing.

Struggles

What is not working yet, and what we are doing about it. Written plainly, while it is still unresolved.

Breakthroughs

The moments a change finally holds up under testing, and what it means for the ball.

Our first ball.

This is the ball we are building. Three-piece, thin cast urethane cover, tour-level performance at a price that does not assume you are on tour. The spec will move as we test it, and every change shows up here.

ConstructionThree-piece: high-energy core, high-performance mantle, thin cast urethane cover

CompressionMedium-firm, tour compression

Ball speedHigh. The core is built for efficient energy transfer

FlightMid trajectory

Driver spinLow

Iron spinControlled, mid

Greenside spinHigh

FeelSoft and responsive, not soft and dead

Cover goalThin enough to generate real wedge and greenside control

Mantle goalSeparate low long-game spin from high short-game spin

DriverSpeed with low spin.

IronsPredictable flight and control.

WedgesHigh spin, responsive feel.

PutterSoft enough to feel premium, firm enough to feel precise.

This log covers the ball. My personal writing lives in the Journal.
