I have been a PV1X only player for the last two years. I tried this ball tonight for the first time and actually thought it played better than the PV1X. I dont think in all my years of playing I have felt a better ball from 7iron and in. I play my club 2-3 times a week and know all the spots I hit to good and bad. I can say for me I noticed no loss in distance but gained tons of feel on wedge shots and even felt better off the putter. I usually bought PV1X X-Outs for $24.99 a dozen, grabbed the Nikes at Walmart for $15.00. I honestly think this is my ball for a long time untill something better comes..WOW
