I really have to finally ask. Why in the world are people using the phrase "suck back"? It's ridiculous and ignorant sounding. Why not say "spun back"?

What's this really got to do with the topic at hand?

I know the answer, and the result is me saying "let's get back ON topic." You want to discuss this phrase, start a new thread or something.

From what I understand, and has probably been reintereated already, is that the V1x is the harder ball that will give you more distance, but slightly less bite. Its basically a NXT Tour with a V1 dimple pattern. Both will not last more than 5 or 6 holes if you trap the ball well with your irons, regardless if you hit a cartpath or tree with them. Both it seems are balls make specificially for touring pros that can rip them up at will, and are not really designed for the ametuers needs in mind.

I used to play the V1x and stop playing it for the durabillity issue. I could barley get through 9 holes with one of those things. The NXT tours are not really that much more durable, but are at least slighty cheaper. I also heard a rumor that both V1 models in their current spec might be non-conforming next year.

Note that for most players - even those on the PGA Tour - the "less distance" thing is about 1-2%. It's not a big deal.

Uhm, no. Three-piece vs. four-piece. "Fusablend" cover vs. urethane.

The dimple patterns are the different on the V1, V1x, and the NXT Tour, but if you wanted to say two were similar, they'd be the V1 and the NXT Tour. Both have 392 dimples of 5 sizes.

Bupkus. 100% false. Why post trash like that?

We need r7 425 to come back and explain the difference here .

The pro v1 is a softer ball that goes slightly less far than a pro v1x. It is softer and spins more. The pro v1 black is for the dry summmer. The Pro v1x in my view is a fantastic Autumn and Winter ball. Id say that the Pro v1x plays like a Titleist pts and is more expensive. You re better off using an NXT Tour or a Pinnacle Exception, pocketing the change, and buying a new glove or something. Anyway, the differences are actually so minute that its hardly worth talking about, unless you play at a level where it really matters .
