these balls are fantastic! i have a special way of marking them as well and it makes them look even better.

but in all seriousness, the ball has seriously good distance, extreme durability and is good around the greens. not as good around the greens as a v1 but more distance in my opinion.

Someone gave me one to try out. It was nice, but I found it a little hard, but I felt that way about the HX Tour too. I like the feel of the Pro v better.

These balls don't get check on chip shots like the v1's do but they are deeper, and still spin enough. Personally I like the hx tour 56 more than the tour ix.

Preach on brother. I bought a sleeve for use at a tournament. They were ok but not as good in my opinion as my HX 56's. Luckily the Callaway rep was at my local pro shop the other day and made me a good deal on some 56's so at least I have some for a little while.

I guess the tour i's are supposed to be more like the 56. We'll have to see how they play when they come out.

All fires eventually go out!

I love the new Tour ix balls. I never tried the HX 56s, but I got a free sleeve and since switched from Pro V1. Overall, I get 8-10 yards farther than the Pro-V1, and about as far as the v1x. The main reason why I switched was durability. They are as slightly harder than v1s (and I mean very slightly), but a lob wedge won't destroy them like they do the Titleist balls, and they check up on the green just fine.

I am a Titleist loyalist, so its hard for me to accept this, but I think Callaway has a winner with these balls.

During practice I hit a Tour ix, prov1, and D2 feel off the tee with my driver and they fell 20 yards apart - longest:Tour ix, ten yards back was the prov1, and ten yards back was the D2. Tour ix and prov1 would stop the quickest with a lob wedge - not a lot of difference there. Tour ix showed wear before the prov1 and the D2 was by far the toughest skin. Tour ix did back up when it landed on the green after being hit by a 4 iron. I reserve the ix for situations where there is wide open space as losing a few would make the round much more expensive.

Great ball. I usually play the "distance" ball out of the tour balls (like Pro V1X instead of Pro V1) because I don't really get that much backspin on short shorts. Compared to the HX tour, the iX went a couple yards farther. I also found it to be a little more durable than the HX Tour. Good distance and feel. Might not be too soft but I play forged blades and my putter has an insert so the impact is soft anyway.

Caddyshack, I did so I can but I can't do anything consistently and that's why I'm sitting at 20.

Ok....I'm going to forget about buying any new sticks and just run to the pro shop and buy a couple dozen of these balls. I couldn't back up a 4-iron even with a whistle and a leash!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Callaway!!!!!

Dangitman.....you had to go and bust my bubble with this response. For a minute there I was under the illusion that my golf game was gonna be saved by this ball. Now you've brought me back down to earth....realizing that I'm cursed to hit my couple of super shots and numerous ugly shots per round.

I have been playing the Tour ix for 3 rounds now and have found them to be an improvement over the HX tour. They seem to be more durable and maybe a few yards longer. I have gone a round and a half with the last one I have played and it still has some life left in it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
