Premium Balls

Great I hear you say but what does it mean?The soft core gives outstanding feel for iron play and the 392 dimples mean a higher penetrating trajectory to give a longer driving distance and and dynamic drop and stop control.A ball which is premium priced but you do get what you pay for.
Pro V1x - The sister ball to the Pro V1.This ball has a dual core matched with fewer dimples, 332, to give a flatter penetrating flight.It has the same softer Urethane Elastomer cover to give the increased short game spin for total control at greenside. Generally this ball drives the furthest.
With either ball once you have driven it down the fairway and wedged it onto the green the AIM, or Alignment Integrated Marking helps you to drain it in the hole.
Mid Range Balls
NXT Tour Designed with the average to skilled player in mind the NXT Tour features a dual core with a Fusablend cover.The 392 dimples give a high spin ,higher trajectory which translates as more carry and less roll thereby giving the drop and stop control round the greens.
NXT Extreme - A harder ball than the Tour with 332 dimples and as before this gives a lower spin off the tee and a flatter flight.This is a ball for the higher handicappers who need a little help keeping on the straight and narrow.
