Can anyone tell which of their NXT Tour model balls compare to the Pro V1 and Pro V1X? I love playing the Pro V1s, yet am not a pro and have a very high handicap. Yeah, love them for my short game. But depending on which courses I play on, I often lose a bunch during a round. Therefore at $48, I would rather pay $10+ less for their balls.

I think you hit the nail on the head though. My advice, buy a sleeve of NXT Tour S but also maybe a couple other brands, grab you putter and putt them. There is so much emphasis in the ball market on distance that we tend to forget how much of the game is 50 yards in. These days the balls are so adaptable for each swing, it's not like the old days of something was either a spin ball or a distance ball. At the least, narrow your choices down given short game feel and then maybe look at long-game attributes.

Yes, I agree. I also like the Bridgestone E6, but now the E5 since my drives no longer have a severe spin. Yet I do like the Titleist. Only thing about them is you can not contact them via Email. And it's a pain to call their parent company. Because I also have a question on their California putters. BUT, this is why we have this great TST forum with their great members.

Titleist has a section on their website that you can ask questions like this.  The NXT Tour S has a soft feel around the green.  Check it out.

They also have a golf ball fitting tool that will suggest alternate ball types.

      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?
