Jeremypeeps1526 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I have played the Titleist Tour Speed for a few years now and really liked how they played with my particular swing. My swing speed is around 100 mph give or take a few and play a natural draw. I’ve played the Pro V’s before and with my swing and the ball spin I often overcooked my draw and didn’t play well. With the reduced spin rate of the Tour Speed it fit my game quite well. Now that they are discontinued I am on the search for something similar. Anyone have any suggestions to try with something similar to the Tour Speed. Open to any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Wieskemp Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I'm not sure what your location is, but in Canada, I was able to connect with Titleist and get a virtual golf ball fitting. It's not very scientific, but you discuss your game and your preferences, and afterwards send you two free sleeves of balls based on their recommendations. I'm similar to you in that I want less spin on my full swing shots and so they sent me the ProV1x Left Dash and AVX. I'm in the process of trying them both out before making a decision, but this might help you!

TCMP Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I agree with the AVX ball from Titleist. Titleist left dash feel heavy and hard to me (compared to the AVX).

TG8 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Gamed the tour speed for a couple years. similar ive seen is: 1. Vice pro plus 2. avx(barely spins a little more than tour speed) 3. Chrome soft x ls and chrome tour 4. taylormade tour response (probably imo the closest to the tour speed in terms of LM data) Edited March 11 by TG8 Added ball mention GregGarner, injectedcutty, Bobbers and 2 others 5 Quote WITB Driver: TSR4 9* - GD VF 5x FW/Hybrid: Stealth Plus 15* 3 wood | 18* 2 hybrid Irons: Mizuno MP225 4-GW - modus tour 120X Wedges: Edison 2.0 52* | 56* Putter: L.A.B.

storm319 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The new tpu AVX or the Tour B RX are probably going to be closest. GregGarner 1 Quote TS2 9.5 909F2 15.5 690.CB 3-PW Vokey SM5 50, 56 Works Versa 1W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGarner Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Callaway Chrome Soft is going to be closer to Tour Speed than Chrome Tour, but I agree that the Taylormade Tour Response is probably your closest overall match. Beyond that, might be worth looking at the Maxfli Tour S if you're in the US.

Tour speed had to be one of their best bang for your buck balls. I would make the argument that's part of why they're discontinuing it. Seems they'd rather move folks into the AVX, given the switch from cast urethane to TPU. (TPU was what the Tour Speed was using.) And for folks who don't want the price bump up to AVX, the ionomer-covered Tour Soft is now the same price as the Tour Speed was TG8 1 Quote Driver: ZX5 LS MkII 9.5* (@ 9.0*) with 46.5" Ventus Blue 6X 3-wood: SIM 15* with Diamana Limited 75S 5-wood: RADspeed 18.5* with Motore X F3 60S 2i: ZX with SteelFiber i95 Stiff 4hy: TS3 23* with Tensei AV Blue 70 S 4i-7i ZX7, 8i-PW Z-Forged, Modus3 Tour 120 S 50*, 55* RTX 6 Modus3 Tour 125 60* RTX Full Face ZipCore DG Spinner S400 Putter: Toulon Chicago with a Quad Tour or HB SOFT Milled 10.5S with UST All-in Ball: Chrome Tour (but I might still have some Left Dashes hanging around) Bag: Ltd Edition Tartan, blue/green/yellow Using to keep track of my shots Tested: D7 Forged 3i-PW, KBS Tour-V 110S - Official Review Blind Ball Test (Ball #3 vs Ball #4) - Unofficial Review V3 GPS Watch + Tags - Official Review Vero X2 - Official Review The Stack System - Official Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically make it the more budget friendly left dash since both are lower spinning off the tee.

The Tour Response has many similar characteristics but does spin a bit more than Tour Speed. The Maxfli Tour and Wilson Triad might also be worth a look, especially if price is a consideration.
