What OnCore says about the Elixr ball:

“The enhanced OnCore ELIXR golf ball features the same three-piece construction and proprietary perimeter weighting as the original.

“But we’ve modified and enhanced the polybutadiene core for higher ball speed with even more carry and roll.

“A firmer cover with a 350-dimple pattern (up from 318) and mid-compression delivers a pure feel off the club face and gives the new ELIXR superior greenside control, durability and unmatched performance in its category.”
