If you want “premium” performance at a price of about half of what other premium balls cost, this is your ball. The Loco Tour D is an excellent golf ball. Since the cover is about a zillionth of an inch thick, I didn’t find the flaking issue to have any bearing on the performance. This is not shearing like can happen with many balls, the cover is simply coming off. After a few holes and some crisp shots the cover started actually flaking off. The main problem I have with the Loco Tour D golf ball is the cover. In the wind the ball performs very well thanks to that 432 dimple pattern. You can really feel that “95 compression” compressing on solid irons and drives. The Tour D ball spins very well with short shots and you have a ton of control and feel around the greens.Ĭrisp iron shots feel great. The ball is plenty long, but not quite as long as the longest distance balls. I found the performance of the Tour D to be very similar to that of a regular flavor ProV1. My friends gave me some grief because I was playing a golf ball made by a “tire company.” But they stopped giving me grief a few shots into the round when they saw how well the ball performed. This pattern provides the player with a slightly lower, more penetrating ball flight. The cover of the ball consists of a very thin urethane cover. (I didn’t know they were putting a number on compression anymore.). The Tour D is a three-piece ball with 95 compression. The sports division is where you’ll find the golf balls for now. As it turns out licensing issues currently have Dunlop split into a golf division and a “sports” division. In fact if you go to you won’t find a single golf ball, just other equipment. Not much can be found online about any Dunlop golf balls. Up until recently John Daly played this ball on tour. It’s meant to compete with the ProV1’s and HX Tours of the world, and compete it does. The Dunlop Loco Tour D is Dunlop’s “premium” golf ball.
The Dunlop Loco Tour D is the first of the 7 I’ll be covering in my upcoming reviews.
I’ve had 7 different types/brands of golf balls in my review queue. Day 6 of 7 straight days of golf equipment reviews!
