Titleist NXT Tour vs NXT

[etlreams]

Anyone have experience with the NXT line of golf balls? I was given a sleeve of the old NXT Extreme and really liked them. They were the longest ball I have hit and (something i have been struggling with lately) were really straight off the driver and long irons/woods.

Since the NXT Extreme is no longer part of the line up..... what are people's thoughts on the NXT and NXT Tour balls.

I'd prefer the NXT Tour, so I can have more green side control and spin.... but if I'm struggling with side spin in the long game.... might the regular NXT be better? Thoughts???

I used a sleeve of the new NXT tour this weekend. Its a very good ball. It doesnt have the stopping power of a softer tour type ball, but it flies for miles off the tee. The NXT tour performs well enough around the green that most golfers can play it without much loss in short game control, though. It plays a little hotter off of the putter so a player might have to adjust their distance control if switching from a softer top of the line ball.
