I recently got a free dozen Callaway Tour i. How do these compare with the Pro v1x in terms of distance, feel, and spin?

Well the Tour i is the same as the normal Pro V1(Not X)

Tour iX is the Same as the Pro V1x I like the Tour i it spins more than the ProV1x and and is very soft but rips up much easier than the more durable Pro V1x

Yeah the Tour iX is the one that is comparable to the pro v1x....I like the Callaways the more I play them.

My problem is they don't have the putting A.I.M. line that Titleist does.

I get my balls brand new on ebay pretty cheap and have done a test just last week. I bought a dozen Callaway Tour i, Nike Tour and Prov 1. First off the question should be Callaway Tour i v.s Prov 1. The Prov1x is the counterpart of the Tour ix. But back to my testing. I love how Nike products in golf have come along ways and i play there irons and Drivers but i really dont like there golf balls. I find them a little harder off the putter. They have good feel and good distance but nothing that just blows your mind. The Callaway Tour i's are great. Off the putter they feel like butter They have great control around the green and good distance, but the cover is to weak. I find after a few good iron shots you need to replace your ball. They scuff really easy. I hit a bunker on the first hole and had to punch it hard to the top of a down slopeing green and bring it back. From the first shot out of the bunker the ball almost was completely flat where i made contact. The Prov1 has the distance of the Nike off the tee, the feel of the putter of the Callaway and spins like a top. Tho the ball is also soft it is not as easy to scuff as the Callaway. I think thats why out of 300 tour players 220 play Pro v's and 80 play the others. If it comes down to a money issue i would recommend Bridgestone e7's or top flight gamers.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

Thanks for the takes so far. The reason for the comparison to the Pro v1x and not the Prov1 is because I play the x and want to see how the Tour i stacks up to it. Since its not comperable, I am just going to exchange them for a box of Pro v1x. Thanks.

I actually have that tool. I don't like the look of it though, lol. I've been putting and using Pro v1 and v1x's all of 2009, so now I am SO accustomed to the line that it feels odd using anything else.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
