NXT Tour vs Pro V1 X

[IUHoosierMatt]

Okay, I know it is probably a large "ego" pill to swallow (i'm counting myself here), but has anyone compared a Pro V1 X vs an NXT Tour?  I ask because I am hearing that the new NXT Tour feels good and has solid control/stop around the greens.  I generate a lot of spin with my shots and the pro I work with suggested maybe we compare the two against each other too see (I also shred the covers on Pro V1 X's with wedges, gets expensive).  I have played the Pro V1 X every since it came out.  Just wanted to see if anyone (since the weather is just now breaking here) has done a comparison like this with the 2011 or 2010 balls.

I have played with both and if the markings were removed and the outer color was identical I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.  Not sure if that is because of the ball characteristics or because I'm not a particularly skilled golfer.

I have played both NXT tour and Pro 1.  I will say the durability of the NXT is better but the spin on the greens is only slightly better with the Pro 1.  I do feel that the Pro 1 is softer coming off of all clubs.  I play the NXT tour full time now unless I run across a sleeve of Pro 1 every now and then.  I also play the NXT because of cost (college students are poor), but I do not feel like I"m giving up anything by not playing the Pro 1.

Here is my Pros and cons of each ball

Pros of the NXT:

Durable

Good spin and control around greens

Distance is great

Cons of NXT:

Not as "soft" feeling off clubface as ProV1

Pros of the ProV1:

Green spin and control are the best

Distance is the same as the NXT tour

Cons of the ProV1:

Not as durable

Price

Why is this a large pillow to swallow??  Play whatever ball suits your game.  If the NXT Tour suits your game, then play that ball.

Playing a Pro V doesn't make anyone a superstar.
