The RB566 and RB566V are the new generation of soft compression bullets from Mizuno. They each have a unique pattern of 566 cells for extended flight. Both have a large, high-energy core that reduces drive spin and provides higher lift for more efficient and stable performance.

Comparison between the two models

RB566: the softest ball ever designed by Mizuno

RB566

Associated with a pattern of 566 microalveoli - thought to optimize the angle of descent once the highest point of flight is reached. Stable and manoeuvrable around the greens.

Slow to mid swing speeds in hot, dry conditions. For all speeds in colder conditions or flexible soils.

  • Wide core with soft compression: combines an amazing feeling with a stable and straighter ball flight.
  • A design with 566 micro-cells: Mizuno's microalveoli are more effective when ball flight declines after its apex.
  • Ionomer coverage: for a mix of feel around the greens and year round durability.

RB566V: a ball for everyone, in all conditions

Soft compression, 3-piece construction for better speed when taking off. With a unique design of 566 D-dimple cells, thought to optimize the angle of descent once the highest point of flight is reached A slightly higher launch angle. Very manoeuvrable around the greens.

  • High energy Butadiene core: a new rubber core for incredible sensations with better ball flight.
  • A D-dimple design with 566 cells: the new generation of Mizuno microalveoli, at the heart of larger cells to come into action earlier and thus to prolong the flight of the ball.
  • Ionomer coverage: for a mix of feel around the greens and year round durability.
