Can anyone that has played these two balls compare them. Which feels more like a rock? Which has a higher flight? Which will stop easier and bite on a green? Any other random coments are welcome as well. Thanks for a great forum!
The PV1x is a better ball IMO. The HX feels harder off the driver and putter. I can get more control on the greens with the PV1x then the HX. I really do not like the feel of the HX off the putter.
Neverr hit the v1x, but I found the HX black to be quite long, with little feel. Not that great a ball, if you ask me. The Hx tour 56 is supposed to be softer. Also, the HX balls didn't seem too durable....
I was asking about the Callaway HX Tour Black but will keep your comparison in mind also.Thanks
Oops! I typed something that I shouldn't have. I was talking about the HX Tour but for some reason put "Nike" in there. I still stand by my statement about the ProV1X being the better ball, IMO. I picked up 2 sleeves on vacation and it felt like that the HX Tour spun just a little more than the ProV1X resulting in being somewhat less forgiving.
I also picked up 2 sleeves of the Tour 56's and to me, they seemed to be more like the ProV1X, while the HX Tour seemed to be more like the ProV1. Simp
So am I corrct in saying that the V1x feels maybe slightly softer and may stop a little quicker on the green an compared to the HX Tour Black?
Yes your correct in saying that. The best ball I have evey hit is the Nike one Platinum...if your intrested. It has the distance of the PV1x feels softer and has better control around the green. It us a little cheaper too. You may what to try a sleeve.
I just bought a dozen after reading everything here on this site. I am basically looking for the longest ball I can find that does not feel like a rock and can still stop on the green with some good action to it. Maybe the Platinum is the way to go.
The V1x is softer and a lot more durable than the HX Tour. I used to play the original HX Tour when it first came out and after a few wedges the ball was cut to pieces.
Now, with the introduction of the HX Tour 56 IMO I think this is the best ball out there. MUCH softer than the original HX Tour and is also softer than the V1x (more like the Pro V1).

I have heard mixed reviews of the Tour 56. Some have described it as hitting a marshmellow. Do you feel this is true? Is it as long as the HX Tour/ V1x/ ONE Platinum? I want as much feel from the ball as possible without it feeling "mushy" & without sacrificing the distance.
