If you are only losing one ball every 27 holes why would price be a concern. I know after 9 I wish I would lose my ball so I can hit one in better shape.

no Kidding. If I only lost one ball every 27 holes, my index would be single digits :)

At one lost ball every 1.5 rounds I'd be more worried about finding the ball that best fit my game than I would be about cost. However, I do agree with the bridgestone recommendations. They have some really good stuff in their lineup.

"take a couple weeks off - then quit for good"

 

- X-460 Tour 10.5 Fujikura Stiff
- War Bird 15deg 3 Wood
- MX-23 Irons
- Vokey 52 + 55deg wedges

Would you recommend the NXT Tour over the NXT Extreme? Does anyone else have an opinion regarding which NXT is a better choice?

Edit: I just realize how ridiculous it'll look for this post to be at 3:52am - Curse you, graveyard shift :-p

Don't know if it has been mentioned here, but dick's sporting goods has pro-v1 x-outs for $29.99. They are identical to the real thing.

I think the Tour overall is a better ball. It's built the same way as a Pro V1. The Extreme will give you a little more distance but does not spin as well as the NXT Tour
