Question:
I just tried both the NXT distance and NXT tour. The distance ball did seem to jump a little more off the driver but I really didn’t see much of a distance difference between the two. The tour ball was much software (but not as soft as a titleist professional) and did seem to stop fairly well on the greens.
(software ?? – presumably you meant "softer" but your fingers got in your way… :-) My verdict: I think I will stay with the tour distance SF for now. Mark
Haven’t tried the TD SF yet (I’m still working on a box of DT Spins). The SF seems to be priced a little higher than either the NXT or Precept Lady and give roughly the same performance. Had a chance to try out the next Titleist golf balls (NXT Tour and NXT Distance). About all I can say is that they sink like any other. Titleist delivered them to the club the day before the tournament, ahead of their commercial availability. The NXT Tour is supposed to be similar to the Precept Lady that everyone is fawning over, but I don’t have the swing speed to make use of its spin characteristics (or to notice the distance, at least).

To Doug: I just got a sleeve for next weekend and will give them a go. (I can share your sentiments: ANY ball especially off my clubs can find itself in the woods or at the bottom of a water hazard. Hazards make no brand name distinctions when they swallow them.) If they are a couple yards longer – bonus. I just like a softer feeling ball for irons and putting the NXT Tour seems to fit the bill as they are relatively inexpensive. As for the Precept Lady – I thought it was designed for those with slower swing speeds in the first place. It was just that men started using the ball and finding out how much extra spin/control they could put on this type of ball as opposed to other types.

It’s distance that make the Lady attractive (hmm, that’s profound 
)– anyway, Titlest’s ads are stressing how much longer the NXT is. Is it? reg
