Hi Glen 

i am having the same delema. Been playing golf for ever but never played much in winter.

I used an nxt recently and felt the firm feel on the greens positive with both chipping and putting.

Not quite sure about the distance or feel issue, I would like to hear from the Titliest Team as to what the technical view is.

I have found that the X offers me considerably lower spin with my 913 D2, but It always feels a lot more receptive on the green when it comes to the shorter irons.

I've never really noticed that much difference in distance with the two when I have compared. One thing is for sure, with the weather being so rubbish and the temperatures getting to below freezing, you're always going to lose distance come winter time!

Roll on summer is all I can say!

Hi Mike

Evidently the distance spread throughout the Titleist range is only 4 yards, so distance shouldn't be the main criteria, i use a ProV1x in the summer, but use the NXT Tour in the winter as you don't need to hit the putts quite so firmly and in that way you protect your putting stroke, also the NXT isn't as costly to lose under the leaves.

Hi guys, 

Haven't got an exact answer to this but I was reading up on the same question a couple of weeks ago and found this answer from TT to someone posting the same question a while back:

"While we do not have specific data available to be shared, there are really two aspects to the question of temperature - : the temperature of the ball itself, and the temperature of the air it's flying through. When the ball gets cold, the materials lose some resilience ("bounciness") so they come off the club face slower and thus lose some distance. The materials also firm up, which makes the ball feel harder on impact. Since most golf balls these days use similar materials inside, these effects will also tend to be similar. 

"The air temperature affects ball flight because colder air is denser ("heavier") and thus caused greater aerodynamic drag. There is nothing you can do about this one, and it will affect different types of balls in essentially the same way. It's not a huge effect but it can be significant."

Just to get a better idea, I watched a Sports Science episode recently looking at the real difference between the temperatures. It turns out that the when balls stored in minus 40 degrees centigrade only went 10 yards less than balls stored in plus 40 degrees centigrade (there goes that excuse). The basic science behind it is that when the ball is warm, the molecules inside the ball will move faster, becoming more elastic, this means the ball will get more surface area contact with the club face, staying on the club face longer and more energy is transferred to the golf ball, all adding up to more go-power!

Hope this kind of gives a bit of an insight!

Hi,

I don't think you will have more distance with the V1 instead the Pro V1x.
