The other day out of curiosity I played the NXT Tour S, 2014 version, and I really liked it. I got long straight drives, and best of all I putted and chipped a lot better with it. Plus a nice soft  feeling off the face.

I'd like to know other peoples opinions before I switch. Thanks.

Love it, that is the only ball I play. Well unless I find something decent and toss it in the bag as an extra.

I also play NXT tours love them. I was gaming Bridgestone e6 when shanked one into the woods. I didn't find the e6 but an nxt instead. I finished out the the round with it. I really liked the feel around the green. I haven't looked back.

I played the NXT Tour for several years and did try the NXT Tour S.  I have a slow SS (85-90) and lost quite a bit of distance compared to the NXT Tour although the S was a little better around the greens.  I also switched to the Gamer V2 from the NXT Tour and found it to be a better ball with excellent check on the green and longer, especially off the tee.  I have been playing the Gamer Tour and it is almost as long as the V2 and better around the green.  There are a lot of balls that are as good or better than the NXT Tour Series which are good surlyn balls but I believe overpriced.  Look at the Callaway Supersoft, Wilson Duo, and the Gamer S as examples, and the lower priced urethene balls like Gamer Tour and Maxfli U3 and 4 series have received some great reviews.

My favorite bang for the buck ball for a couple years has been the Lynx Black Cats.  Can always get them at $10 per dozen, but I try to stock up when they go for 3 dozen for $25.  They're not rock hard and feel pretty decent around the green and putting, and seem to be one of the softer "distance" balls that I've used.

Edit - just checked, they're 4 dozen for $30.  Guess I'll be ordering a few tonight.

NXT tour s is a nice ball, I too lost a little distance with the S, I didn't mind though they feel pretty nice offf the club. I only buy higher priced balls when I run out of Gamers, the Topflite Gamer is so close to all of the $30/dozen balls that I am very happy with that. I have also recently played the Qstar,, E6 and both the NXT tour and tour-s. I bought someMax Fli Urethane  u3s, (Rocks IMO), and was given a dozen HEX Chromes in a tourney I played in. I would gladly play any of the above mentioned balls they are all that close. The exception are the Max FLIs, Don't like them.

For me the deciding factor here is price, the gamers are $15/Dozen and I think if the graphics were blacked out that most high to mid cappers couldn't tell the difference between all of the above balls until you hit your approach, I think the Chrome and the Tour s might check up a bit better.

I ordered some balls from MG golf.com. They claim that these balls perform very close to the Prov-1 and they have test results to prove it on their web site, so at $20/Dozen I though I would give them a try. I'll post my impressions.

In my bag....

Bombtech Grenade driver. 10.5* Aldila DVS60 stiff, 45"

Ping i20 irons, ProjectX5.5. 5 thru PW.

Tour Edge 3 Hybrid, Adams A7 4Hybrid

Titelist SM4 52-8. 56-12

Cleveland RTX 60-12 wedge.

Tour Edge xcg5 15* 3 Wood

Cheap crappy Wilson putter that works as well as anything for me.

It's a work in progress, I've only been playing for going on two years or so.

I have swing speed of around 95.   I get the most distance out of NXT Tour & NXT Tour S balls, and I have used many different balls in the past.   The ball works great around green, too.

I play nxt balls, mostly refurbished ones, tried the tour S version last year. didn't see a difference.

I like the nxt because I can't regularly compress a proviwan. Only play about 175yards with 7iron.

I recently saw a test comparing all the latest Titleist balls. The NXT Tour was the longest off the driver, had the least driver spin, and was second in wedge spin to the ProV1X (it actually spun slightly more than the ProV1 off the wedge). The NXT Tour S was shorter than the NXT Tour, had more driver spin, and less wedge spin. It is softer than the NXT Tour however.

Can you post a link to this test?

I guess I can say this - it was on golfwrx.com. I don't think I can post a link but just go there and search, it's readily available. What I got out of the review was the nxt tour was a much better ball than it typically gets credit for and the nxt tour s seemed poor in comparison.

      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

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
