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.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
