It is DLC and it is durable - so far the sole hasn’t worn yet at all, I’ve probably played 10 rounds and 20 times at the range. But the face.. if you don’t hit in the center, it leaves marks on the face..
I had the 0811x. Never tried the XF. But I’m in love with Ping right now and I don’t think XF can beat 410, or even come close..
