Are Titleist Pro V-1's worth the price?

Do you know why the price dropped? I work at a Sports Authority, but none of us seem to know.

Every other company seems to drop prices once next years model comes out, I have not golfed long enough to say whether or not titleist has dropped ball prices in the past. With the current economic conditions - all golf related companies have taken a beating - this could also be a result of that.

I've been buying Pro V1 "PRACTICE" from Golf Discount for $25.00 a dozen. At that price I think they're totally worth it even for a beginner like me. Even though I can't spin a ball back, I do notice these stop on the green WAY sooner (sometimes immediately) than the Nike Powerflight (any of them) and the NXT Extreme/Tour. Since the practice balls are the same $$ as the NXT and they're considered "conforming" I think it's a pretty good deal if you don't mind a big ol' PRACTICE yelling up at you...

Also, none of these packages of Pro V1's have the red or black sticker on them that says they were manufactured after September, so does this mean once the new year hits, they won't be marketable?

yes. Very good ball

They are worth the money. I play whatever high end ball I can get a deal on and when I buy I usually get 2 or 3 dozen which lasts me for months. Right now you can buy Calloway HXtour 56 balls for cheap and they are every bit as good as ProV1s. Another I have found for cheap that performs very well is the Nike TA2Spin. Distance is not an issue for me my main buying criteria for balls is spin and stopping power with approach shots. I buy the balls that spin the most for my money.

If I were beginning golf I would buy the least expensive golf balls that I could find.... Precept lady ball is under $8 and Costco sells a version of the Titleist ball, 2 dozen for $29.99.

As a beginner the Prov-1 are not worth the money.
