Has anyone tried the new Titleist Tour Soft golf ball yet?  If so, what are your thoughts.  Especially, is it recommended for a high handicapper with swing speed of about 80 MPH?

Haven't tried them yet, but I would like to see comments from anyone who has. I would also be interested in finding out if this is just a new version of the NXT Tour, as that ball appears to have been discontinued. I liked the NXT Tour in terms of distance and performance but noticed that the cover gets scraped up easily, especially with wedges, and even on well-struck shots. 

Also, a comparison to the Bridgestone 330 RXS (my current ball) would be helpful. 

What's in the bag:
Driver: TaylorMade R9-460, 10.5 degrees, graphite shaft R flex
Hybrids: Kasco, 17 and 25 degrees, stock graphite shafts
Irons: MacGregor 1025 V-Foil forged irons, 4-PW, graphite shafts R, 2 degrees upright
Wedges: TaylorMade Black Oxide, 52, 56, and 60 degrees, graphite shafts
Putter: Rife Barbados mallet, 35 inches with SuperStroke 2.0 grip                                                                                                      Ball: Titleist AVX yellow

Just a follow up:  I bought a sleeve for a round earlier this week.  Again, I am a high handicapper with a driver swing speed of somewhere between 75 - 85.  For me, this ball is a bit too soft with a bit too much spin.  Although I did hit two good drives (straight and longer than usual), for the most part I found its distance and direction to be lacking.  This ball probably will work for someone younger or with better skills.  But, IMO this ball is not designed for an old fart like me.  So far, the one that I prefer is the Sirxon Q Star Tour.  Much better results than the Titleist Tour Soft for me.
