[*]I have performed testing on the 2013 Nike 20Xi / 20Xi-X golf balls in the winter of 2013.
[*]My current golf ball is the 2013 ProV1X. Always preferred the performance of Titleist golf balls
[*]I have recently tried the 2015 ProV1X (hate it so far), and the Callaway Chrome Soft (jury is still out). I am going to re-try the 20Xi-X golf ball,as I am going on a golf trip in two weeks to Bandon Dunes, and have always enjoyed the performance of this ball in windy conditions.
[*]Driver SS - 110mph

Bouncing between Callaway Supersoft and Wilson Duo, I prefer a softer feeling ball and the price is right on them...I play pro v1x when I have shop credit but $20 per dozen keeps me safe with the wife which is why I went to the supersoft and the duo.[list]

[*]Callaway CS. I've posted several reviews. I think the ball is straighter off the tee. Adequately long if not the same as other gamer balls like Pro V1x based on my on course testing. Spin is just fine. Love the sound and "soft feel" off the driver and irons. Putts feel like the old days with an old Balata Titleist professional in recent direct comparison. Interestingly, the balata Titleist is a little smaller in size.

[b] Titleist Pro V1 - love the feel, the distance, and especially the control around the green. Will sometimes rotate TM TP into the bag but not often. Ironically won my league tourney in November with a TM Project (a). [/b][list]

[b] Yes.[/b]

[b]In closing thanks for this interesting opportunity. I generally play practice rounds at a local executive course that has a nice mix of 3 and 4 pars. In addition I play practice rounds on a local course during the week that is empty during the summer months which are coming up soon here - the "snowbirds" leave around April 1. I will play two balls and actually do my own comparisons of feel, distance, durability, spin, control around the green, and flightpath. Using this method I was able to weed out balls that just don't fit my game versus those that were, as I have come here and stated, "Interesting". The bottom line is that there are definitely differences in the performance factors of golf balls. I would welcome the opportunity to perform a blind test to see if this unknown brand/ball does as well as my three personal favorites have consistently done. [/b]

[b]Again thanks for considering me. [/b]
