I was recently lucky enough to win a dozen of these balls from GM & Titleist. The last week has seen me play rather a lot of golf so I thought I'd give a run down of their performance.
I played the NXT Tour towards the end of last season. Prior to that I'd played TM TP Red until it was withdrawn from production. I like a ball that performs well on the long shots, but that can still give good control on shots into the green. To be honest, the NXT Tour that I played last season didn't quite give me all that I looked for, especially on shorter shots into the green.
The new NXT Tour S seems to have been matched nicely to my list of needs and wants. It's a good ball off the tee and with the fairway woods and long irons. Good ball flight and a good overall distance for my swing. It's around the green that this ball has improved upon the old NXT Tour. This ball does play very well with short shots into the green. It's not a replacement for the ProV1, but it's a much better than several other manufacturers offerings for this type of ball. It is also a very nice ball to putt with. this is an area that is very subjective, but, it feels like a softer ball when you are putting with it.
Having played several rounds in just a few days I've been able to gauge the performance in cooler conditions through to the very warm conditions at the weekend. The ball has performed well all the way through the contrasting weather conditions.
Durability is something that gets mentioned often on the Forum. Whilst it is obvious that the ball has been played and has taken a good few wedge shots, it has not been skinned or shredded like some others I've played with or seen at close hand. The NXT Tour S seems to tick most if not all my list of needs and wants, so when this dozen are sacrificed the the Gorse I'll be more than happy to buy another dozen to take their place.
A good all round ball for those that don't want to pay premium prices but still want a quality ball that performs very well indeed.
