I got a dozen of the test pack last week. Here's my initial impressions.
I'm a 3 handicap with Driver swing speed between 100-105 MPH. I previously tried the MTB Black/MTB-X test pack. I found the MTB Black did not have enough spin; it dropped out of the air. I gave them away. I found the MTB-X a much better ball, but still 10-15 yards shorter off the tee than my standard Pro V1.
With the MTB Prime-X and MTB Prime, I found them both to perform very much the same with the irons and around the greens, and very much like Pro V1s. But with the MTB Prime-X, I found it performed exactly like the MTB-X -- it consistently was 10-20 yards shorter than the Pro V1 off the tee. Towards the end of the test round, I broke out the MTB Prime; I didn't try it initially and focused on the Prime-X because I expected the Prime to act like the MTB Black. I was surprised to find that the two drives comparing the MTB Prime with the Prime-X resulted in the MTB Prime going 10-15 yards longer than the Prime-X.
So I'm confident that the Prime-X is not going to make the cut. But I'm cautiously optimistic that the MTB Prime has some potential to stack up against the Pro V1. I'll hopefully find some time in the coming weeks to give the MTB Prime a bit more playing/comparison time on the course.
