Aslan Golf Introduces the Nike Golf RZN Golf Balls
For the second time in three years, Nike Golf is transforming golf ball technology with another industry-first. Building on the success of the game-changing 20XI ball and RZN core technology, Nike Golf is unveiling its innovative Speedlock RZN core technology and adding four golf balls to the new RZN franchise– RZN Platinum, RZN Black, RZN Red and RZN White—designed to deliver more distance, better feel and a more consistent, stable ball flight than ever before.
Nike’s proprietary Speedlock RZN core technology features an interlocking core design – the core’s surface is similar to that of a waffle iron – that interconnects with the compression layer to form a tighter bond and helps promote better energy transfer through the layers at impact. Similar to how snow tires utilize aggressive treads to bond with a road surface, the Speedlock core’s interlocking geometry helps eliminate the slipping that normally occurs between a traditional, smooth-surface core and the outer layer. When a core slides or slips on impact, the ball loses energy and as a result, speed and distance. Speedlock Technology helps to harness more energy between layers for faster ball speed, longer distance and more stability into the wind.
A new spin-optimized coating on the outer surface of the ball helps grip the grooves for better control on wedge and iron shots. The coating, in addition to a softer cover and softer compression in the core, also helps provide improved sound and feel, especially on off-center shots.
The Nike RZN franchise have launched four versions of the new ball:
- RZN Platinum: Tour Performance control and moderate spin
- RZN Black: Tour Performance distance and less spin
- RZN Red: Distance Performance, longer carry
- RZN White: Distance Performance and softer feel for a wide range of swing speeds
More distance, softer feel, less spin, more spin – there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to golf balls. That’s the idea behind the new Nike RZN Recommender, a digital tool that helps golfers find the RZN golf ball.
