Very straight ball and very good overall
April 16, 2021
I have used the SD Tour X and SD Tour plus the least expensive Pure Speed. The PS and SD Tour may be two of the best putting balls I have ever played with. I have tried all kinds of golf balls that I have found or bought. Pro V1, V1x, AVX, Tour Soft, Velocity (no thanks), Cally Supersoft (not bad), ChromeSoft (good but expensive), Z-Stars, etc. I personally like soft Wilson golf balls especially off the irons.
The SD Tour X has to be probably the straightest ball that I have ever hit. I can pretty much find 95% of my fairways with it. My driver is the very forgiving and good Cobra F9. If I am not careful, I sometimes have a slice but very very rare with this ball. It is a long ball too. Great off the driver, fairway woods are fine. Irons are good though the SD Tour is a little software. Wedges are fine and you should be able to get enough spin to hold the greens. Putting is good but the SD Tour seems to put a little better.
This is supposedly a Pro V1x clone. They are close but I think I like the SD Tour X better. They are also slightly different and are not clones. If you are playing a tight course and need your drives in the fairway - try this ball.
Pros
- A very straight ball. If you have a slice issue - this ball will help. Tight fairways or water on the course - use this ball. Overall it is an excellent ball.
Cons
- The SD Tour is a little softer but they are both so close.
