A good ball and deffo deals to be had. The Black is a very solid replacement for the Prov VX whilst the Platinum offers a touch more softness alike the ProV.

What's the difference between the RZN tour black and the RZN black?

I could be wrong, but I think the ones with TOUR in the name are 2016, and without are 2015. You'll be able to tell by the price.
Whilst technically speaking the black should be closer to the ProV1x, it's worth noting that Rory is using the Platinum this year whereas I think he used the black previously.
My usual ball is ProV1x. I've used both Nike balls and prefer the platinum, although there's nothing wrong with the black.
TBH if i was looking for a cheaper alternative to a Prov1 i would go Chrome soft

I've just started playing a Pro v1x - normally play a variety - mainly Pro v1 and Chrome Soft.
Is it my imagination or do the Pro v1xs fly straighter and higher i.e. are they less 'spinny' or something. May actually just be that I'm hitting the ball differently and better - or could it actually be the ball?

If it's an alternative to the Pro V1X I would suggest the Bridgestone B330 or B330-S or the Chromesoft X. All with a firmer feel more like the Pro V1X.

I had a ball fitting at a Titleist Thursday. From the results which backed up what the Titleist expert said the V1 has a flatter ball flight which is particularly noticeable with the driver. The X generated more spin and a high ball flight with all clubs. We spent quite a lot of time around the greens and the X definitely had more grab for me. For my swing characteristics I found the 1 to be longer than the X by 5 ish yards in carry even though it had a flatter lower flight. For me around the green X was better. V1 is softer, X is still soft just 1 slightly softer.
Interestingly when talking about golf balls in general, I was using the Chrome Soft at the time, the Titleist guys likened its performance more to their NXT range rather than the ProV in terms of what the ball the average punter can buy and were quite scathing of the build and quality control of them.
The main reason I switched away from pro V was the price but have managed to get enough consistency into my game to not lose as many golf balls anymore so I can just about justify the cost again particularly as I split the cost of the loyalty offer with one of my mates 2 boxes each which brought the price per box down to Chrome Soft range.

Recently bought some of the Vice Pro plus to try and am hugely impressed with them. Perform as good as Pro V and, imo of course, feel even nicer of the putter. I'll be sticking with them for the foreseeable, no brainier at half the price per dozen :thup:

Here are you saying that they were saying that the Chrome Soft was like the NXT range and it was the CS they were scathing about.
Wilf

Sorry yes, if you going to compare apples to apples they would compare the CS to NXT not Pro V and said the CS was inferior, bad quality control of the balls (Cores not centred etc) so no two balls behave the same.

played with a low handicapper recently who had been given a pack of Vice Pro Plus. He normally plays Pro V1x and felt that the Vice were a great match for them. I tried one and have to agree!

I use Vice Pro Plus. Very similar to Pro V 1x & much cheaper

Must give the Vice Pro plus a go - I think @JamesR plays them - and played one round my track day before H4H.

I play 330 RXS as my main ball and would not consider it similar to V1x
The 330RX would be closer

I just resurrected an old thread as my question was related to it, of course when a thread is about golf balls an old thread will almost certainly be out of date...
