I have been playing this new Callaway Tour iX ball for a few weeks and am mightily impresed with it.
Distance is excellent for a premium ball, in comparison to the Tour i and the ProV1 I found I was hitting the Tour iX around 10 to 15 yards further off the tee.
Low spin off the driver allows for straight hitting in windy conditions. The spin control coming into greens with the tour iX is not quite as grippy as the tour i but it still offers ample stop. I found the ball would run out 5 feet with a well struck 6 iron rather than jump a foot like the tour i.
When it gets warmer and greens get quicker I will possibly revert to the tour i but for now when the courses remain a little softer the tour iX is staying my ball of choice.
Durability wise they are not bad but not brilliant, 1 round and the cover is pretty scruffy. They are an improvement in this respect on the old HX Tour model though.
I have played most brands of premium ball (Taylor made excluded - dont like TM brand sorry) and I like Callaways slightly firmer tour iX ball best.
