Okay, I know it is probably a large "ego" pill to swallow (i'm counting myself here), but has anyone compared a Pro V1 X vs an NXT Tour?  I ask because I am hearing that the new NXT Tour feels good and has solid control/stop around the greens.  I generate a lot of spin with my shots and the pro I work with suggested maybe we compare the two against each other too see (I also shred the covers on Pro V1 X's with wedges, gets expensive).  I have played the Pro V1 X every since it came out.  Just wanted to see if anyone (since the weather is just now breaking here) has done a comparison like this with the 2011 or 2010 balls.

I have played with both and if the markings were removed and the outer color was identical I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.  Not sure if that is because of the ball characteristics or because I'm not a particularly skilled golfer.

I have played both NXT tour and Pro 1.  I will say the durability of the NXT is better but the spin on the greens is only slightly better with the Pro 1.  I do feel that the Pro 1 is softer coming off of all clubs.  I play the NXT tour full time now unless I run across a sleeve of Pro 1 every now and then.  I also play the NXT because of cost (college students are poor), but I do not feel like I"m giving up anything by not playing the Pro 1.

Here is my Pros and cons of each ball

Pros of the NXT:

Durable

Good spin and control around greens

Distance is great

Cons of NXT:

Not as "soft" feeling off clubface as ProV1

Pros of the ProV1:

Green spin and control are the best

Distance is the same as the NXT tour

Cons of the ProV1:

Not as durable

Why is this a large pillow to swallow??  Play whatever ball suits your game.  If the NXT Tour suits your game, then play that ball.

Playing a Pro V doesn't make anyone a superstar.

    • Wordle 1,816 2/6* ⬛⬛🟧⬛⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧   forgot to play yesterday
    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.
