What happened to the nxt?

[Matriga]

Hi there,

 

Since about a year or so I tend to lay with titleist nxt balls because they are the best for me. I went to te proshop some days ago and the seller told me they weren't for sale anymore and that the velocity ball had replaced it.

Is it the same ball?

The nxt worked really well with me...

Guy is full of poo and you could find them online and get your answer. They made a S model this year that is softer, and yellow as well.

Your proshop is correct. The NXT has been discontinued and replaced by the Velocity. There are now two versions of the NXT Tour ball. Any NXT's still to be found are the end stock of last years model.

NXT is still here, however the ball isn't as good and now costs more money.

Titleist sent me a two sleeve sample of both the NXT Tour & the NXT Tour S (one was yellow).

I have now played both balls, and find that I like the performance of the NXT Tour S the best. I have a slower swing speed (87 mph average) so the softer ball performs better.

I did get good performance from the NXT Tour as well, just not better than the S.

My current ball is the Callaway Diablo Tour, of which I have three sleeves left. When they are gone, I will probably go for the NXT Tour S. (I am a 16 Handicap).

The active Titleist ball products are the ProV1, ProV1x, NXT Tour, NXT Tour S, Velocity, and DT Solo. As I previously stated any NXT's still around are not current. I work at a golf course and we haven't had "regular" NXT's all summer. A quick look at the Titleist web site should confirm this.

Thank god they got rid of that rock called the NXT. If you liked the NXT try a Pinnacle or Top Flite or Slazenger or any other really hard 2 piece with a surlyn cover. If you *must* stay with Titleist to validate, use the Velocity.

try the Srixon tri speed

Agreed. The NXT was replaced by the Velocity (same pricepoint). NOS of the NXT can still be found, but it is no longer in production. The Tour Distance was not part of Titleist's main lineup (same with the Tour Prestige and HP3).

The Velocity has higher overall compression than the NXT but share the same dimple design and overall construction/dimensions.

They are definitely still selling NXT's. I bought a case of NXT Tours yesterday, lol. Great balls, all I play.

Wrong and wrong. Velocity replaced NXT. Tour Distance was simply discontinued. NXT S is a new entry. NXT is dead, except for last year's models, wherever it can still be found.

This is my favorite type post. The OP asks about the NXT ands someone has to post something off topic that he thinks adds to the conversation. You can find these on almost every posting.

+ One.

It's amazing to me how many people will post information and not know what they are talking about.

The NXT is no longer being produced, but it still can be found for sale. The NXT, which the Velocity replaced, is not the same as the NXT Tour. They are two different balls. The NXT Tour S is a new model, which also should not be confused with the NXT or the NXT Tour.

[Smash Factors]

True. The NXT was a 2 piece ball; the NXT Tour is 3 piece. Velocity is 2 piece.
