I have currently got the 460 (original) and a good friend has the tour version of the same, smae shaft and loft.

Having hit all of Nike's drivers i have to say for general use the original is the best, especially in terms of sound, the new ones sound awful. Although undeniably the new models are more forgiving, this is something i am not necessarily looking for, and when you are using 460cc of clubhead, there is plenty of room for error already.

If you are someone who slices, steer away from the tour version as it is designed to be more workable, hence it will slice more.

It is just a matter of trying them out and seeing, but my opinion is that the original is the best

Best look
Best sound
Great feel
Great workability and very forgiving
Great distance

I believe the Tour doesnt have a closed face...I know the sumo has a higher MOI than the original

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I have the Sasquatch 460

I love the sound, its not too quiet or too loud. And it makes a nice classic PING that you'd like to hear. I really dont know much about forgiveness, but on a mis-hit it seems to Still give you the distance you'd like, but obviouslly not the accuracy you'd like.

The Driver makes the ball very workable, and Distance is a whole nother story! WOW very impressed with the ammount of distance it can give you. The driver also feels very very light to me, and very easy to swing.

    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
    • I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.
