2020 Bridgestone Tour BX v. TM TP5X v. Titleist ProV1?

Has anyone had the chance to compare these three balls? Any thoughts? Thanks!

I got a pretty good deal on some of the new BX, and I like them. I put them up against the Titleist ProV1 71’s that I had, and I did like the ProV1 a bit better. It feels a bit better of the club face to me. I think durability has been my biggest issue with the BX. After a hole or two, it’s scuffed from wedge shots and normal iron play, more than other balls.

I go back and forth on the TP5X, but I think it has more to do with my need to hit the TP5 and not the X over the actual performance.

I played V1 for several years, TP5x rarely, and this year made the switch to the 2020 Tour B X... here's why.

For me, BX is like playing two different balls - it's low spin with strong trajectory and FAST off the driver, but the closer you get to the greens, the more spin it delivers.

Before I tried the new BX V1 was the best compromise for what I was looking for - low spin off the driver and enough spin into and around the greens.

The magic, for me, of the new BX is it's lower spin and longer off the driver than V1 with more spin and control into and around the greens than V1. How could I go wrong??

Regarding TP5x, I was never a fan. For me, it didn't do anything better than V1. Plus, it had to little spin on approach and touch shots, and for my game, that is not an option.
