Did you see the Golf ball issue in Golf Digest?

Question

Showed that the $29 Titleist NXT Tour ball flies further off the tee and is more workable around the greens than the more popular and expensive Titleist ProV1 and ProV1x..

Of course this was based on specific club head and ball speed.

I've tried both - felt the ProV1 was much softer but I was getting a little further with NXT Tour. My profile fit that article really well.

I'm going to try the NXT Extreme this week. Seems a little harder than NXT Tour.

Answer 1

Squint -

The NXT Extreme is like an expensive Top-Flite....people are not playing pro v1's for distance, they're playing them because they can hit spinning wedge shots around the greens and they feel softer off of a putter face. The bonus to them is they are the longest 'soft' ball on the market due to superior construction and dimple pattern.

That being said, if you don't hit spinning wedge shots, then play the NXT Extreme or other distance ball....you'll be fine.

Answer 2

Yep, read it completely.  And will probably switch to DT Solo's as they seem to be very inexpensive and a good ball for a hack like me until I get better =).  But of course I won't throw away all those $5 balls I find on the course - I need as much ammo as possible.
