I just picked up a sleeve. Played 12 holes with one. Course conditions- soft (rained a little the night before). My swing condition- okay.

Durability- I hit several full 8,9,PW shots (MP-30's). Barely a scuff on it. Ball does look a little dull though- not as bright white as when the round started, just might be me though. Overall, the durability is great so far.

Distance- Pretty long for how well it spins. Just as long if not longer than Precept U-Tri Tours and Titleist NXT Tours. Distance on mis hits was suprisingly good. I hit several thin iron shots, but still had really good results. I usually hit my 3i 185-190yds. Toe'd a shot that still went about 175.

Spin- it was wet out, so the ball wouldn't release very well anyways on pitches or chips for the most part. On 3/4 PW shots (about 80yds out), the ball would one hop and stop about 1-2' from the ball mark. On full iron shots (5i-PW), the one hop stop was within a 1' either direction (past or sucked back) from the ball mark.

Putting/Feel- ball feels good on full shots, not too hard NXT Tours/BB Blues, and just about right- U-Tri Tours. The HX RED rolls pretty true. I'm guessing a lot of my improved putting is due to the Never Compromise Grey Zone 5 I picked up, but the ball putts well.

Bottom line- terrific ball. Right there with the Precept U-Tri Tours. Will I continue to play them? Eh, the Precepts seem to stay bright white longer, but it's a toss up. If this HX Red can handle 15 more holes (putting it at 27), I'll keep playing them (Precepts for me would get pretty scuffed up around that time). So far it looks like the HX Red has the edge in durability.
