All your points are spot on! Your feeling on points 1 and 4 mayyyyy change for 22 thoughI did a little unscientific test today between the Chrome Soft X and the XLS. I played my first 4 holes with the CSX and the next 12 or so holes (donated to the golf gods via a water hazard) with the XLS.
- both fee pretty similar off the tee but the CSX felt les firm to me
- distance off the tee appeared to be the same and I noticed I was getting more rollout with the CSX LS
- off the irons similar to the tee in terms of feel. Didn’t notice any big jumps in distance gains and the main standout was the XLS didn’t have the spin I was used to seeing from the CSX.
- for some reason I felt the XLS was a lot more firmer off the wedges and putter. Again purely subjective, but based on my last year or so with the CSX,I noticed the difference.
I think overall if I had no choice I would put the XLS in play and be ok, but for me the CSX just checks all the boxes and the spin into and around the greens is what separates these two. If there is a golfer that doesn’t need the spin help like I do, then the CSX LS is probably a better fit.
point 3 may or may not be closer together as well
