Unearthing the strengths and weaknesses of two of the game’s most intriguing options, we have Titleist Tour Speed and AVX golf balls. To conclude, the choice between Titleist Tour Speed and AVX golf balls boils down to the style, preference, and budget of the player. Both offer advanced technology and design, and are leaders in the field. The AVX balls also excel in terms of low spin, especially off the tee and in the long game. This feature aids in getting those extra yards on your drives. These balls also boast an impressive, piercing, and consistent flight, thanks to their aerodynamic design. Pro V1X Golf Balls from Titleist are designed to provide golfers with extraordinary distance and low long-game spin. With a higher trajectory and increased ball speed, the Pro V1X delivers unmatched performance off the tee and on long shots. The advanced technology behind the Pro V1X ensures exceptional control and a soft feel around the greens. If you're looking for a ball that combines long-distance capabilities with remarkable control, the Pro V1X is the perfect choice. This makes it an excellent choice for golfers aiming to add a few yards to their drives. The ball offers exceptional distance and consistency, with a low long game spin.

That last bit is key. There’s an unspoken or perhaps “spoken only in hushed tones” rule at Titleist that says make no ball that risks cannibalizing the Pro V1. It’s part of the reason why it trod lightly when launching AVX. I suspect it’s part of the reason you don’t hear more about the Left Dash Pro V1x and it perfectly explains why Tour Speed is being positioned as the not quite tour-level urethane ball that, while not Pro V1 good, is still better than anything its competitors offer in that space.While the release of the AVX turned heads in a big way by being a golf ball for the slimmest of the bell curve, now comes something aimed at the bulk of it, and I honestly never saw it coming. Today’s avid golfer faces a veritable smorgasbord of ball choices. So, let’s delve deeper and discuss the pros and cons of two stellar options: the Titleist Tour Speed and the AVX golf balls. A Brief Comparison Table Features

I hit 10 of 14 fairways with he Tour Speed, but i hit all 4 of the par fours with it. When i mossed the green on holes, i was usually short sided, so i could bump it into the green side and it would hope like i wanted. The ball held up well. It should go without saying that Tour Speed isn’t the top-selling ball in the Titleist lineup. Its numbers are closer to AVX which is to say it isn’t a juggernaut but it’s enough that it would be the top-selling ball in some competitors’ lineups. It has an audience that Titleist believes is growing. Better still (for Titleist, anyway), the Tour Speed converts aren’t moving down from Pro V1; they’re moving up from an ionomer-covered ball or moving over from competitors’ offerings. The Tour Speed’s soft feel is not just limited to short game shots; players will notice the pleasant sensation throughout their bag, from driver to putter, enhancing their overall experience on the golf course. Optimized for Mid to Low-Handicap Golfers Seeking PerformanceCompared to the balls I was testing against, the Tour Speed was much firmer than the Chrome Soft (clue's in the name!), and pretty similar to both the Tour Response and Z Star when chipping and pitching around the green. Testing the Tour Speed head-to-head with a Pro V1, I found that the Tour Speed had roughly 10% less spin on everything from pitches to full wedge shots. Here’s where I insert my standard caveat: your results may vary. I’m a low spin player, so it’s possible you will see a bigger difference. Wedges: Rinse and repeat the above. I have to play more runout with the Tour Speed than the Tour B XS. I prefer the "Hop and Stop" with the Tour B XS, but I think if I played the Tour Speed long term, I could get used to playing for a bit more rollout. At first glance, I thought that the Tour Speed reminded me a little of a lake ball due to the glazed, off-white colour, and the logo wasn't the same print that I was used to seeing on the Pro V1 range. The combination of distance and control makes the Tour Speed a versatile option for golfers looking to excel from tee to green, providing the optimal balance for consistent play and lower scores.
