Golf Forums - Changing Back To Pro V1's

Over the winter months I've been using Titleist NTX Tour golf balls.

Last summer I used the Pro V1's and really liked them.

Over the last few weeks I've been hitting Pro V1's alongside my NXT Tour golf balls.

Today was the first time that the Pro V1's were travelling as far as the NXT Tour balls.  So after nine holes I changed golf balls.

Over the last couple of months I've started hitting the ball really well, and straighter than I've ever hit them.

Today, after changing balls I was starting to get a fade with my driver.  Although the front nine with the NXT Tour ball wasn't that good!

So now I'm wondering if I should stay with the NXT Tour during the summer months.

All I can do is start to get the ball going straight again and then use a Pro V1 and see if the shots stay straight!

The Pro V1 (and even more so the Pro V1x) is designed as  a softer ball (more feel) which allows slightly more spin to allow the golfer to 'shape' the shot.

The NXT is designed to minimise spin, so better for trying to keep it straight !

Well I played the Priors course again today and the wind was blowing!!!

Decided to play the NXT Tour ball as I didn't need any extra spin in that wind.

I was pleased with my shots so maybe I should hold off going back to the Pro V1's for a month or so, until the weather gets even warmer.
