I play nxt balls, mostly refurbished ones, tried the tour S version last year. didn't see a difference.

I like the nxt because I can't regularly compress a proviwan. Only play about 175yards with 7iron.


Nxt's follow on ball is Velocity.  Have you tried it?   They are distance balls but can't hold green.

I don't have a problem with the Velocity sticking to soft muni greens, I hit high so more often than not it is within a few feet of the mark. Just figured out Walmart sells surlyn x-outs for $9.99 a dozen. I looked in the box and it was the NXT Tour and Velocity, more NXT tour than Velocity.

Bingo. The ProV1X, ProV1 and NXT Tour all have wedge spins in the 11,000 RPM range. The Velocity is in the 6,000 range. Plus its not Titleist's longest ball based on recent comparison test.

I guess I can say this - it was on golfwrx.com. I don't think I can post a link but just go there and search, it's readily available. What I got out of the review was the nxt tour was a much better ball than it typically gets credit for and the nxt tour s seemed poor in comparison.

I see this has been reported in this forum already. See post #7 in the thread "The Real Differences in the Titleist Golf Balls" for link.

Reviving an old thread.  I've been away from golf more or less the past 6 years, so I'm trying to play catch up.  I'm used to playing the "tour" balls (Pro V1, V1x, urethane equivalents from Callaway, Nike, etc.).  Played 9 holes yesterday, alternating holes between NXT Tour and the S model.  Loved the feel of the S and it really seemed to jump off the face of the club (although very little feedback).  I didn't really notice any differences in distance between them, but it was only 9 holes.

Any of you guys who used both balls for a longer trial period have a recommendation between regular vs S models?  I'm sure there are other companies' balls that are equivalent, but I'm narrowing it down to just these 2 for now.

I personally like the regular NXT Tour better than the S ball. I can't tell much difference in the spin hitting into the green. The regular ball seems hotter off the driver. I would say if I'm going to play Titleist it is the regular NXT tour, if another brand, I love the Callaway Hex Chrome. It seems hot off the driver and spins well into the green.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.

      Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
