Description For golfers seeking long, two-piece driver and iron distance. High partial wedge spin and extremely soft feel provide exceptional control on approach shots and around the green.

Summary: My swing speed is around 100 mph and this ball suits me quite well. It has less spin than some of the pricier balls, which can be a good thing on drives. Distance seems to match or surpass any other ball I have played. Usually stops within a foot from where it lands on the green with short and mid-irons, (but note that I usually shoot high shots, not low, spin and check shots). The cover does seem to get scuffed up easier than the Nike Ignite even though the two balls are close in siftness. Overall has a nice feel on and around the greens.

Summary: OK I NEVER write reviews but after searching for the correct ball for this 12-14 handicap golfer I found it. Over the past 5 months I have played the Pro v1 and V1*; Bridgstone 330s; HX Hot; Hx Hot Bite; Callaway Tour ix;Bridgstone e6+;. What I found is that my new driver hits the ball with a lot of spin usually up which made most balls balloon out to 290-305 with very little roll. However the NXT tour is more like what I was used to with a medium height and good roll (310-320 driver). Short Iron play was good; cover is soft however its hard to getthe ball to back up or check like a pro V1 or HX Hot Bite. (Hx Hot bite is like the old Balata every good short iron hit you may need to throw the ball away due to cover damage:) The NXT tour cover damage was minimal played the same ball for 4-5 holes before getting a new one. needed 3-4 balls to complete 18 but at 29.99 who cares. IF you have 60-85 degerees and holding greens this is the ball. hotter harder greens opt for a softer Pro V1/V1*; try the HX hot bite for par 3s; CAN'T PLAY PAR 5'S AS IT IS A SHORT BALL OFF DRIVER ;). NXT TOUR LOW FLYING OFF DRIVER; LONGER THAN AVERAGE; GOOD LONG IRON ( FLYS LIKE THE IRON PLAY SHOULD; GOOD SHORT IRON. *BEST BALL FOR 29.99 BAR NONE FOR MID HANDI.
**Ideal is to change my shaft to a lower flying shaft and play the Pro V1 and V1* to get the back spin on the short irons.
Customer Service: N/A Many have reviewed a problem with cover durability obviously these people do not play soft hi-end balls or they would understand the trade offs. Just be glad they are not 45/ dozen.

Summary: The first round I played with this ball I played terribly (of course I blamed the ball). Played them again today and was able to more accurately review it.
It's a long ball and has great spin with all irons. Feel around the green is OK, but a little stiff.
I was skeptical about the review stating how easily these balls get scuffed up ... but no more. First shot with a new ball and a pure 5-iron caused a nasty scuff. That continued all day.
Overall, a nice ball. If you like to play with a unscuffed ball though, look elsewhere.

Summary: was given a couple of dozen of these. They are definitely a decent ball. I really don't notice anything particularily special about them though. Cover seems a little easy to scuff up on iron shots.
Overall pretty decent ball.

Summary: Titleist ProV1x would have been my ball of choice because of its low driver spin and fairly good greenside behavior, but I have three teenage boys who eat too much. The new NXT Tour has very low Driver spin, great ball stopping spin with irons and is almost half the price of the the Pro V1 or Pro V1x. On excelent dry greens I backed up an 8 iron 12 Inches. Wet lower qualität green let the ball run about 3 feet with an 8iron.
Low driver spin. Adequate iron spin to keep the ball from rolling off the back end of the green and good solid putting feel.
Durability has been no problem until now. 18 holes with one ball is no problem with very little wear and tear.
I'll play the ProV1x when I'm a grandad and my boys are paying the bills.
Customer Service: never needed. H2O :-)
