I tried out the ix earlier in the year and was pretty pleased with the ballflight and the results were pretty consistent for the most part... but in my personal opinion, the design of the dimples screws up either the way the ball comes off the putterface, or the roll of the ball.

I clearly am wrong because a lot of pros make a lot of putts and win a lot of tournaments with these balls, but for some reason it knocks the ball offline and I can't make any putts with these balls. Maybe it's just my stroke?

Dunno, that's my 2 cents though.

I think they are more resiliant than the old Pro-Vs or any other high quality ball. They spin (I forget which one spins more) just as much as any other ball I've played, but I'm not in love with the feel of the ball. They seem a little hard. It's weird though because they are soft and hard...I really don't know how to explain it. Good balls though and for that deal, definately worth it.

I'm playing the ix right now. I recently had a ball fitting and that one was top of the list for premium balls. I hesitated to try it because it's so expensive and I was afraid I'd like it but was at Golf Galaxy and saw the free six pack deal and couldn't resist. I'm really impressed. It goes just as far off the driver as the D2 Distance balls I was playing but it's a good bit more accurate and checks up real nice on the greens. As for putting I've had no problems with it. It putts nice and straight and feels good off the putter. When I bought those balls they were out of six packs of the ix so I took a six pack of the tour i balls. Haven't put one of them in play yet but it won't be long. I'm just about to run out of the others. I'd be curious to hear from you guys that have played both balls. How do they stack up against each other?

The Ix is a great ball, excellent around the green, good distance off of the tee and the ball is very durable. The dimples in no way affect putting...

I recently tried a Pro 1x and I am getting an additional 10 yards off of the tee compared to the Ix

I tried switching from the ix tour but had trouble finding something that matched it. What really sets it apart is the way it performs in a strong wind. Instead of the ball going 25-30 yards offline, it will instead only go about 5-10. And I'm someone with a very high ball flight. The only thing you really lose compared to the prov1x is the ix is a little less workable, but that also means it hooks/slices less. And the ix somehow bites better than the prov1x too.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
