I haven't seen a thread about this, so I'd like to hear everyone's opinion. I've played both, and to be honest, can't differentiate between the two. If you play the Pro V1, tell us why you choose that over the Pro V1x; and vice versa.

I believe that the ProV1x has less spin. It could be the other way around, but I think the Xs have less spin and the ProV1s are a little softer around the green and have more spin. Hope this helps!

If you can't tell the difference, you simply shouldn't be wasting your time playing them. (didn't mean for that to sound rude!) When I was a higher handicap I played the NXT tour and LOVED THEM.

Now, I couldn't play another ball besides the v1X

The V1's are a softer cover with more dimples giving more spin and feel

On the other side, the X's promote less dimples, a harder cover, and give less spin (to faster clubhead speeds) on driving to add extra distance. I notice quite a bit, much like the pros that play it have

They are both 3-piece balls, and can't be matched. I do like the Bridgestone B330S's though, they play nice as well.

I agree. Unlike the TaylorMade balls, the Pro V1/V1x are

distinctly different from one another.

The difference is especially noticeable around the greens (BIG difference in spin) and particularly when putting. The V1x gives you a little bit of a CLICK coming off the face, which is what I prefer. The regular V1 is like putting a super ball -- you can barely tell when you've made impact. This feature is often referred to kindly as FEEL, but as far as I'm concerned it is the ABSENCE OF FEEL, and one of the reasons I prefer the V1x and also the Callaway HX Tour.

Ditto what everyone else said. I play both balls. I play ProV1's in the winter and X's in the summer. The extra spin and softness helps hold hard winter greens and just has a better overall feel in the winter.

Agree with everyone above. The V1x is a much firmer feeling ball than the V1. They're both great balls, but the V1 just feels too mushy for my taste.

Noticed the same thing with the Callaway HX Tour and HX Tour 56. Played the 56 for a month or so last summer, and it felt way too soft. Like the HX Tour much better.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
