Minimum swing speed for ProV1 or ProV1x

I think many golf balls have a soft feel but lack performance (spin) around the greens on partial and delicate shots, half wedges, etc.

The ProV1 has a soft feel and spin - some believe it is too much spin around the greens and not predictable for them. As a result, they may go to a similar ball - a 3 to 5 piece urethane covered ball of another brand.

If you believe the Titleist adds, there isn't a minimum swing speed for the Pro V1 ball.  I think you should play the ball that best suits your game, are you looking for more feel, more spin, more distance?  Find a premium ball that will help your game.

A firmer ball will almost always have a higher ball speed.

If you don't spin a Pro V1 or V1x quite enough, that's why you might want a softer ball, but that's about it.

I use the ProV1 and my driver swing speed is only ~ 93 mph.  I like it for the stopping power on the greens.  I can get a 7 iron to stop pretty well from 150.  With other balls like the NXT Tour, I would have to plan for twice the roll out.  The ProV1 tends to rise a bit more than the ProV1X for me too and come down a little steeper.

If you do switch, chips will check up a bit more than you are used to.  I would suggest buying a sleeve and trying them out.  They are more durable than the NXT Tours as well.  I will use them for as many rounds as possible.  The last one I used for one 18 hole round and three 9 hole rounds until it met its end in the woods.

On durability I used one for I think a whole round and then on hole 8 of my next round I mentioned to my buddy hey I played this ball all round at navy and I step up to the Tee and snap hook OB.
