Pro v1 for mid/high handicaper

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 

Should I play the Pro V1 instead of the HX Diablo Tour?

Average Score: low 90's to very high 80's

SS: 90 MPH

What do you think?

I have an 87-90 mpf SS as well.

 

I have played both the Pro V1X and the Diablo Tour(got 4 doz last year for $10/doz)

 

Frankly, I prefer the Pro V1x.

 

Same distance and much better feel.

 

However, at $10/dozen vs $45/dozen I played the Diablo Tours pretty much all last year.....and still have one dozen left.

Academy Sports and Walmart both sell used PROV1 and V1x ($25 plus tax) and used "spin series" ($20 plus tax) balls for much cheaper than they are brand new. The "spin series" has a few NXT and NXT Tour balls which is a "step below" the PROV1/V1x. I like all four balls except that the NXT's scuff easier.  I suggest you buy a box and see how it goes.

 

Also if you have a Golf Galaxy nearby, they will fit you for the kind of ball you should play with.

IMHO, you should play whatever ball is best for your game.  Don't think that you have to play a Pro V1 to be a good player, there are a lot of good players that don't play a Pro V1.

Just played 18 at my local course, 123 slope.  Shot 10 over par, an 82 witha pro v1, wow, this is my ball.

The course is actually a 132 slope. Sorry.

I play the Srixon Q Star but last time out I went birdie,birdie, par using a found ProV1, though I think it had more to do with me actually getting into somewhat of a groove than the ball itself.  I really like the ball but my game is nowhere near where it needs to be to justify spending $45 for a dozen of them when I can get the Srixon's for $25 or even the Nike PD Soft for $15.  I do seem to find a lot on the course though and I regularly encourage hackers like myself to purchase them so I can continue to do so. a1_smile.gif

Nice score then, like another said the srixon qstars are a good ball as well you may want to check them out also I tried a dozen out and was impressed with it's durability,distance, and feel.

Srixon Z-star, long of the tee with great feel around the green. Comes in white and yellow.

I am a big Bridgestone B330 guy. I like the way they spin and hold the green. But I do lose distance when I compare them to the Pro V. I get a better deal on the Bridgestones (that is why I play them). I do like the Gamer 2 though. Price is right.

I played ProV1x's for most of the year, then started to try other things.  The only thing that came close for me was the 330RX-S.  Actually, the KickX that I got from Erik was just as good, too.

 

Fooled around with the Gamer V2 as well.  Its not in the same category but I did break 80 for the first time ever, using it.   

 

 

 

I would say that if you don't lose a lot of balls off the tee, go premium.
