NXT Extreme vs DT Roll

[LeafsFanNL]

Hi there,

Has anyone gamed these two balls extensively enough to offer opinions on how they perform? I'll be trying them out side by side this spring, and am wondering how different thay are?

Hi there,

The best answer is how is your putting. Due to the make up of the DT Roll it will be harder hit it the correct speed on keen greens, That is the trade off for the added roll on the fairway. The NXT Extreme is a very popular ball in the mid range price area and gives the better combination of all around playability of the two.

I have played both and I prefer the NXT Extreme. I felt like the DT Roll was a bit hard for my taste and the NXT Extreme felt better for me. I liked the ball flight of the NXT Extreme and didn't think the "roll" with the DT roll was really there.

I also tried the DT Carry and liked it a lot more than the DT Roll. I liked the ball flight more and it felt better on all hits, from irons to putter.

I wonder if my slow swing speed (80-85 mph) affects which is a better ball for me?

Id say with that kind of swing speed the dt carry would probably be better

nxt extreme > dt carry > dt roll

Good Morning gents,

I have the time to elaborate more on this so here goes. Last year I was hitting a 10.5 Tour Edge Geomax Bazooka driver at 45" and an A flex shaft. In Titleist balls I only used both types of DT's. With the driver I found that I got a much higher ball flight with the Carry balls, and a lower flight with the Rolls. I am not sure there was a lot of difference with the distances, both being around 200 yds. I do think the Carry gave me a couple of yards more. However, while I did put a lot of the DT Rolls in the woods, I put way more DT Carrys in the woods. Late in the season after losing about 10 balls on my local course, and doing some research I had an inch taken off my driver, and played my last round of the year with some HX Hot balls I was given. I lost a ball on my first tee shot, and only missed one fairway after that. I did note that the ball was very dead for me, and I lost about 10 yards with it. I think the HX Hot is too high compression for me.


After more research I figured out a higher lofted driver would do me good, so i got my new Ping G10 over the winter, and ordered it a 44 inches. I am wondering if the new driver with the higher loft, and higher launch angle and higher back spin will affect all this.

I have some DT Roll, DT Carry, NXT Extreme, e6+, and some of those HX Hot to try out in the spring. I am planning on trying all of these so I can hopefully select a ball and stick with it.

nxt extreme > e6+ > hx hot > dt carry > dt roll

Green side control matters more than distance. I'd take neither ball and get the E5+ from Bridgestone instead.
