Hi Neil
Thanks for the free samples ( nxt tour - nxt tour s )
The nxt tour was great the way it performed in windy conditions. Really good ball flight and to my playing partners surprise, the ball didnt seem to slice as much.
The nxt tour s was very simular but didnt travel as far but made up for it around the greens. Great feel coming off the club and putter.
Cant wait for them to come into my pro shop, as i think they both could help me get my handicap down.
If i had to choose one of them i think i would go for the nxt tour s, just for the feel it has around the greens.

Hi, Thanks for the free samples,
Played with the Velocity ball first, it has a similar flight to my normal ball (AD333) off the driver but seemed to fly higher off my irons. I like that anyway as it gives me more control on the green. Only down side was seemed to be soft off my putter (Odessey White hot two ball) with a bit of practice i could sort that out.
Played the DT solo the next day, again similar flight to the Velocity, was a bit shorter off the T. again seemed to fly higher off my irons than the AD333. Softer off the putter as with the velocity, but again with practice I could improve that.
Overall, I liked the Velocity ball the best seemed to be quicker off the driver and no issues from my irons, I just need to sort out my putter - may require a replacement!
Thanks agin for allowing me to test drive the new balls - my playing partner was not happy.
I will be changing to the velocity ball asap - any more lying about just put them in the post I am converted.
Many Thanks, David Tufft.

First of all thanks for the samples. Tried out the Velocity yesterday. Have to say very impressed. Nice soft feel and control off the face of both woods and irons, long and short game. Putting was very good and the alignment marker is excellent. Distance wise difficult to tell any personal improvement at the moment with heavy ground, however, as the weather and ground conditions change I believe increased distance will be achieved. So much so I've pre-ordered a dozen to start the new season off !!!! Going to try the DT Solo at the weekend. Thanks again.

Quite impressed with the Velocity and DT balls. Velocity adds some yards over the DT and remains as good as the DT around the greens. Only downside of the Velocity is that the cover didn't last as long as the DT. Either way both balls will be in my bag for the coming season. Think you are on a winner!!.

Many thanks for the trial packs of NXT Tour and Tour S. What a nice surprise to get them through the post and to be asked for feedback.
Have now tried both types and prefer the Tour S as I seem to get more distance and feel around the greens. Managed a gross 78 yesterday with the Tour S but despite having 41 Stableford points I still only came second!
The only downside is lack of any homing device. My course has a lot of OB and boundary walls are the curse of a good medal round. One of the Tour balls managed to go awol after only 4 holes. Needless to say I was heartbroken.
Thanks again and I will definitely be using Tour S from now on.

I have played a few rounds with the Velocity ball and I like it very much. I can see me changing to these on a permanent basis now, very impressed with them.

Hi thanks for the NXT Tour S golf balls, I tried them at the weekend and cant praise them enough.
The flight and distance was great and best of all was the control you can get on the approach shots, I will definately be using these.
Thanks again for these.

I got the chance to play with the DT solos this weekend.I found them shorter on drives ,but had better feel and control with irons,putter and short game than the velocity.All in i prefer the dt solos to my Soft Feel and will play these in future.

Many thanks for the Velocity and DT Solo balls you sent me recently. I have now had the opportunity to play with both types. Getting these balls coincided with me starting work with a new coach so my experiences on the course may be attributable to either. However, of the two types I have to say that the Velocity was the ball that performed best for me. At my home club we have a very difficult shot from our 17th tee (Par 5). The shot has to be threaded between trees and the fairway slopes to the right to out of bounds. With a left to right wind prevailing, this is difficult at all levels. In a very strong wind, my tee shot flew dead straight with the Velcocity landing middle fairway ready for my second shot which is a much easier proposition. With the same ball I birdied another of our Par 5's in regulation, at 24 handicap something I have never done before, the tee shot again being easy to get wrong with a very large lake on the right and trees on the left. I have also recently been fitted for Titleist 910f fairway and 910h hybrid clubs and these are also significant in these results I feel. I also found the DT Solo and improvement on the old model but mainly in the area of feel which is rather difficult to quantify. So for me the Velocity was my preference although I would like to have tried the new NXT Tour models instead as my regular ball is the NXT Tour. I would also add that I did discover a design deficiency in the Velocity!! A very poor skulled shot found the strategically placed lake on the eighteenth and I can report that The Velocity DOES NOT FLOAT!!

I absolutely loved the new NXT Tour S - it had a lovely touch and feel around and on the green.
I do not know if it was the extermely cold weather or just a bad day on my part - but I did not get on at all well with the new NXT Tour ball - it felt far too solid for my liking - I will give it another go when the weather warms up a bit and report back !
Thank you Titleist.

just tried out new DT SoLo and does fly straighter and longer (out driving 12 handicapper)
holds well on green, now just need to invent one that you cannot lose out of bounds and we are onto a real winner
thanks for opportunity to try out new ball will be a winner looking forwrd to trying new velocity soon

Received the Velocity and DT SOLO - a very nice surprise thank you! My inintial preference was for the DT as it had a softer feel but on the course the Velocity was clearly better suited to my game. Very solid off the tee with a great flight. Good onto the greens and very true from the putter. I definately plan to put some more of htese in my bag this year.
