The Golf Monthly team reviews Titleist NXT Tour Balls
When testing these with a set of Wilson Staff FG Tour 100 irons (featured on p142), the feel off the face was very impressive.

The Pro V1 offers noticeably more spin on chip and pitch shots from close range. Players with the budget to pay premium prices will still find the best performance from the Pro V1 and Pro V1x. Those looking for a soft feel from a ball at this price should try the NXT Tour S.
