HX05 and Tour X
« on: March 27, 2015, 03:57:34 PM »
How close would these two balls be in overall length and back end reaction?  Which one  would you pick for dry conditions?

Length Tour X over the Hx05 overall backend Hx05 over the Tour X Dry lanes the Tour X would be better.  You will find the Hx05 can be earlier then the Tour X.  I found that the Tour X took 2000 or 3000 as well as polishing it better then the Hx05.

For me the Tour X is longer, sharper and hooks more than the HX05.  For dry lanes, I like the HX05 better for control.  But for playing left of third arrow, and there is some oil, the Tour X is better, carries better from deep.  The extra back end gets the ball up on the pocket better to carry the 10.
