Good looking putters. Had a friend who had one in high school in the 90’s. I was jealous of the putter, mainly because he was a better putter than I was

I wish I could find my old GBB or Callaway Deuce, but this would be a second best option.

I feel the need. The need for speed. I'm older and fatter and feel my distances have dropped. I'd like to get closer to what I was even 2 years ago.

I love the Tour X. Would love to give the S a try. Also a reason for me to tell my wife I need to play more golf

this news makes me want to break out my old King Cobra Gap wedge. Man I miss that thing

I got to test Maxfli's in 2021, and it was interesting to try different styles. I would love to try these out as well.

doesn't say for lefties, but I have one of their gloves and would love to test a different one.

tears on no lefties

Anytime I see Left Hand, I have to jump in and hope I get picked, especially since my current irons are 24 years old.

This packaging is so much nicer than the gold and white.

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.

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.
Picture two is the approach on hole 3 from about 150 that had some backspin (The closer ball was a chip)
picture 3 is actually the approach on hole 1
Picture 4 is the approach on hole 5 both from about 75 yards the closer ball is the Tour
the last picture is from 200 into number 8 with a 4 iron. I was happy with the spin
i was happy with my score. Greens actually rolled even with the obvious holes or damage.

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.

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.

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.

received mine yesterday, and putting them into play Saturday morning. I may play the Tour for 9 holes and the TourX for 9, or may randomly pick one and see how many holes I can play and what the damage is. Luckily I've played this course before so I'm a little familiar with it.

congrats! I cant wait to see the results

Wow. Whomever gets to test these, enjoy them. I've been loving my Titleist DCI Irons for 22 years.
-
I like lower cost balls, like my Pinnacle Softs. This may be a better alternative.

I currently live and die by 18 Birdies GPS. This would be a nice change
