  1. Played the Tour only on Saturday. The ball striking, distance, spin were all really good. At times, I hit my driver better/farther than I normally do, and that could be attributable to the ball, but may just be better striking on my part. Score was 78 with 3 doubles, so overall, I didn't feel like I screwed up because of the ball. One double was a shank out of bounds. I did lose a ball early on, and kept one ball the remainder of the round, and it really held up. no noticeable marks and I may play it again next weekend.

  2. Work surprised us and let us out at 2 so I just played a quick 90 minute 9 hole that felt like 3 hours. My goal was to focus on the Tour. It was my main ball today. I occasionally dropped the Tour X to see how it matched. I played well and was impressed by the spin of the Tour. I honestly didn’t like it initially compared to the Tour X but I’m feeling more at ease with it. 
     

    on the first photo I teed off both balls and while the Tour went further, it was hit better.9CABB640-7576-4ACC-98C7-9CB85F3969BB.jpeg.1456c52fc232a95dcff4fc44184d9d3e.jpeg

    Picture two is the approach on hole 3 from about 150 that had some backspin (The closer ball was a chip)B53F726F-A33B-4B3D-B01F-5D5E764D897A.jpeg.4efa9b97e4492c20d51d14d2bbed7b6b.jpeg

    the last picture is from 200 into number 8 with a 4 iron. I was happy with the spin08F711A1-E513-4309-A12A-DA7221557BB7.jpeg.16f16709251f9ad440ae8de27db9f1de.jpeg

     

    i was happy with my score. Greens actually rolled even with the obvious holes or damage. 

  3. Yesterday, I played CCNC, where the US Junior Amateur was just played, so the conditions were amazing. I played mostly the Tour, and surprisingly a wedge into the green rolled a lot further than I expected. The greens roll faster than I'm used to, but I didn't expect what I was seeing. Their range balls are Pro V1's and they were spinning on the practice green. I know these balls aren't necessarily in the same league as the ProV1, but I was still surprised at the lack of sticking, especially compared to what I have been seeing with the Tour X.

  4. Played 18 yesterday. Plan was to play 9 with the Tour, and 9 with the Tour X. After blowing the Tour in the water on a hole, I reached in my bag and grabbed what I thought was another Tour, but turned out to be a Tour X. I seemed to play better once it was in my hands. Finished 3 over, and was 1 over through 16, but finished bogey bogey. Either way, the ball felt good. This Tour X has seen 22 holes at this point, and honestly the spin is great for what I'm looking for. 

     

    First image is the spin on a 240 yard 3 Wood. It held quite nicely. Image 2 is the spin on a slight mishit from 195 with a 4 iron. it was into a slight slope, but still went a little backwards. 

    I mentioned in a prior post about the sound off the putter. I didn't notice that much this time. Likely because I'm used to the balls. Tomorrow I will be playing 18 at a course with much faster greens. It'll be interesting to see how I do. It is the Country Club of North Carolina, so I expect the greens to hold well since this course is nicer than what I usually play.

  5. I played Saturday. Scored well. The ball spun relatively well for me, rolled about 2 feet on an uphill par 3 with a 5 iron. These greens are pretty firm bermuda grass where the ball marks are shallow. I think it helped that I was playing well. Best I struck the ball in weeks. Played front 9 with Tour X back nine with regular Tour. Initial thoughts are that I'm a bigger fan of the Tour X. I also went out putting later in the day on Pinehurst's Thistle Dhu. I will say that, when putting, both balls sounded different, even compared to my Pinnacle Soft or Titleist Tour Soft. A strong positive is that these balls seem very durable to me.
