I bought a box of Titleist NXT Extreme Golf balls before I went out today, and I can safely say that it was a good choice. I shot my best round of the year (87) and loved them. If you get a chance, play them!!!!!

they're just glorified top flite's.

Try a top flite or an ultra and you'll get the same result.

"anything I can find" is a pretty widespread test subject.

This is horseshit. I can make an NXT ball spin, I cant make a top flite spin.

you can make an nxt extreme spin?

it's a rock. a normal nxt is ok, a nxt tour is very good but a nxt extreme is terrible.

There are currently only 2 NXT balls, NXT Tour and NXT. No Extreme anymore. The plain NXT is the old NXT Extreme. The OP must have bought the Extreme's from last year of the year before.

I can make them all spin, just not as much.

If you cant spin a NXT then you need to re-evaluate your swing and not blame it on the ball. Any NXT will spin plenty for most people.

That goes for just about any ball.....

I have found that these balls perform wonderfully and if they don't, do not blame the ball, for it is a bad craftsman that blames his tools.....IK IK CLICHE!!!!

The NXT Extremes work, and I can spin them on the greens just fine.

I would like to know the flaw in your swing that makes it so you can't spin this ball...... As a 13 HC you are pobably not focusing too much on spin anyway. I'm trending an 8 now and I'm finally to the point where I can get the ball to spin on purpose....

This is an interesting exchange. Most golf balls will work if you know how to hit them (not quite there yet) but I;ve gotta say that some just fit folks game better than others. While golfing in Maui last month, I found an NXT TOUR, I've been playing a Pro V1 for about 2 1/2 years, The NXT TOUR fit my game and I've been playing them ever since. Great ball, great distance and green side control. A golf ball is kinda personal to most people, one may be great for one person but not for everyone. You just have to play what feels right for your swing.

I think the NXT Tour is a pretty underrated ball. Many people gravitate toward higher-priced urethane balls before giving the NXT Tour/Trispeed/E5/6/7 a try.

Unless I'm playing faster and firmer greens, I can usually score just as well with a mid level ball.

Honestly I find these debates funny. If any of you have EVER come up short, have you asked yourself what good did all that spin do me? I have, now I play a cheep ball, hit it far, and score low. Just play for the ball to roll out one more foot, its not that hard.

9/10 times this approach will work. But, making up and down when you miss a GIR is the difference between a round near par versus the high 70s. For shots over bunkers, to tight pins or sloping greens, the difference between balls might be a 10 footer versus a 2 footer for a good player.

This is a very good point, its also why I try to split the difference with the d2 feel.

Try the Gamer V2....I got a 15 ball pack @ Golfsmith last month and played them during a 4 day 22 man golf outing in Sebring....2 rounds per day....I won enough money to pay for my trip.

Shooting in the mid 80's now.....and they respond around the greens!

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      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?
