They are both good balls with similar feel. I get more green side spin with the Pro V1. Distance off the tee is similar. Feel off the irons is similar. Overall, these balls got more in common than different. I used some Callaway Hex Chrome balls this week. Exceptional ball and I would suggest you try a sleeve of them for comparison. I like them better than the Tour i (s). Perhaps better than the Pro V1, but more time using the ball will be needed to know for sure. The Chrome is going to be a hot seller I am sure. The Hex Black has even more spin, but I like the softer feel of the Chrome and it suits my swing speed better. The black is better for faster swing speeds as I am told. To me, trajectory was similar, but the ball felt harder than the chrome. Couldn't tell much difference on spin, but that could be a reflection of my swing. Another great ball I used lately, the Titlelist NXT Tour S. Fantastic ball for guys that prefer the softer balls. Many great choices out there.

IMO, its every bit as good as the Pro V1.  In terms of performance Id say they almost identical.

I am a fan of the Callaway Tour i series.  For me, it seems to "pop" off my club (esp the Driver) with a better sound and feel then the Pro V1

Question:  Is the Hex going to replace the Tour i?

Probably.   If you go to Callaway's website, they list the following balls:   Hex Black, Hex Chrome,  HX Diablo Tour, HX Diablo, Solaire, Warbird Plus.   There aren't any versions of the Tour i series balls on there.    You can still get the Tour i(s) on Callaway Pre-owned though and they are listed as new.

Razr Fit Xtreme 9.5* Matrix Black Tie shaft, Diablo Octane 3 wood 15*, Razr X Hybrid 21*, Razr X 4-SW, Forged Dark Chrome 60* lob wedge, Hex Chrome & Hex Black ball

Those are my thoughts as well.  And since I can generally find the Tour i(s) cheaper than Prov1s, and less people play them, it is my ball of choice.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I just tryed the I(s) today and they might be a little to spinny for me on my wedge shots.. I had a 54° back up 15 ft. Other than that, they are great!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
