With the flood of new golf club releases in January, it’s easy to overlook the latest golf balls hitting the market simultaneously. If you’re wondering what’s new, here’s a quick rundown of all the golf balls that came to market in January, including options from Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway, Wilson, Srixon and more.
Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x (2025 Model)
Titleist released the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models. They came to market on Jan. 25 and retail for $54.99 per dozen.
The new Pro V1 and Pro V1x should provide more speed off the tee, better iron control and more wedge spin compared to the 2023 model. The reformulated core is supposed to increase consistency and produce a slightly lower ball flight for the Pro V1x.
TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x TRK-R
If you have an indoor launch monitor setup, the release of the TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x TRK-R will be of interest to you. These golf balls have radar reflective markings to help launch monitors track spin in indoor settings.
The performance of the TRK-R golf balls is the same as you’ll find in the TP5 and TP5x models. They retail for $64.99 a dozen.
Bridgestone e12 Series (HiLaunch, Speed, Straight)
The newest Bridgestone e12 golf balls are the HiLaunch, Speed and Straight models.
- e12 HiLaunch: Higher launch for slower swing speed players struggling to get enough height on their shots.
- e12 Straight: Less slice/hook spin for straighter shots
- e12 Speed: Higher compression for a more penetrating ball flight.
The e12 golf balls are also available with the MindSet alignment system to help with visualization. All three of the new e12 golf balls retail for $34.99 per dozen.
Wilson Triad (2025 Model)
The Wilson Triad isn’t a new golf ball but it’s been updated for 2025. The latest model is an 80-compression ball with a new ZnPCTP core additive to enhance speed. The goal is to increase speed while still providing a softer compression. It’s for mid- to low-handicap golfers who want lower driver spin but good iron control.
Pricing on the new Wilson Triad is $39.99 per dozen.
Wilson DUO Soft (2025 Model)
The Wilson DUO Soft is a softer-core golf ball with a compression of 37 that is designed to provide an ultra-soft feel. The DUO Soft is a lower-priced golf ball at $22.99 per dozen. It comes in several colors and is great for golfers looking for a soft feel and extra yardage off the tee.
Callaway Chrome Tour Triple Diamond
The Callaway Chrome Tour Triple Diamond is a new premium golf ball release, a lower-spin alternative to the Chrome Tour X. It’s designed to rival the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash. The Chrome Tour Triple Diamond is a four-piece golf ball. Pricing on the new Callaway Chrome Tour Triple Diamond is $54.99 per dozen.
Srixon Z-STAR, Z-STAR XV and Z-STAR Diamond (2025 Models)
The new lineup of Srixon includes the Z-STAR, Z-STAR XV and Z-STAR Diamond. The new Srixons also feature a biomass-infused urethane cover. Each model in this lineup retails for $49.99.
- Z-STAR: Lower compression (88) for softer feel, lower driver spin.
- Z-STAR XV: Higher compression (102) with more iron spin.
- Z-STAR Diamond: Slightly softer feel, reduced driver spin.
Mizuno Pro S and Mizuno Pro X
The Mizuno Pro S and Mizuno Pro X feature a thinner cover but a thicker mantle layer to help increase speed. The Pro S is a softer-feeling ball with a mid-trajectory flight. The Pro X offers a firmer feel with a higher ball flight. They retail for $47.99 per dozen.
Maxfli Tour Series (Tour, Tour X, Tour S)
The new lineup of Maxfli golf balls focuses on faster ball speeds. The Tour S, Tour and Tour X feature a center of gravity balanced alignment. They are priced at $39.99 a dozen. Keep an eye on these because there are usually promotions if you purchase more than one dozen at a time.
- Tour S (85 compression): Softest feel, best for moderate swing speeds.
- Tour (95 compression): Mid-range compression for balanced playability.
- Tour X (100 compression): Firmest feel, optimized for higher ball speeds.
Final thoughts
While it will be a few months before we test all of these new golf balls, they are available for you to test today. Whether you need a bit more speed and distance or you are looking to fine-tune your spin rates, there are plenty of new options in 2025.

The Wilson Triad is such an underrated ball. It would have a huge following if Titleist or Bridgestone made it.
The compression was lowered for this new ball to slot it more in the middle between the Duo and Staff lines. Hopefully Wilson didn’t mess too bad with the Triad formula.
