Tour ix ball?

Question

How is the Callaway Tour ix ball compared to the HX tour 56 ?

Answer 1

In my opinion its still a lot harder than prov1 or the provx, for that reason short game fell is compromised

Answer 2

Ok for all of the specs, see above.

For actual reality,

The tour ix is softer, flies better, and spins better in my opinion compared to the HX.  That being said, I dont like the way the ix comes out of the rough and off chips.  The spin is really hard to predict sometimes with that ball, and I seem to lose about 5 yards with it.  Otherwise, its a pretty good ball.  Im still a ProV fan myself, but it is a nice alternative.
