A full review is coming in the next few days but I thought I'd post my thoughts here first. Basically, the differences are very, very slight. In my practice and play I observed that the newer balls are:
  • A bit firmer
  • Spin slightly less
  • A bit longer off the tee

The other thing that Titleist touts is a more durable ball. I would say this is true as well but not to the degree of an old Top-Flite. I would consider the changes Titleist has made to be slight and for the better.

Fairways and Greens.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

I just got my first round in with the new ProV1 this past weekend and I really like what they have done with the changes.

My Observations:

Driving Distance was noticably longer while my Iron distance was only slightly longer

I thought the spin on my approach shots and pitches were pretty close to the older 2008 Prov1 model. If they have reduced the overall spin, it doesn't seem by much.

It seems that durability was much better than prior ProV1 models. I played the whole round with one ball and it still looked brand new afterwards.


Overall I have to give this ball a huge thumbs up as one of the best balls I've hit in a long time.

They did this with the nxt brand as well when they came out with the nxt extreme. Personaly I like the extream better than the tours. because of their duribility and garuntee plus it knocks 5 bucks off the price tag for a dozen.

I imagen the results will be the same. more durible cheaper only slitly less spin. titlest always makes good stuff and I dout this will be anny differant. In all honesty I dont like the pro v1s. I know everyone else does but for me they are too expensive not durible enough and too much spin for my tast. One time my friend hit one of the tee on a par 3 and it was a great shot that landed no more that 2 feet away from the pin But he created so much back spin that the ball rolled off the green down a steep hill. All I want is a little back spin to stop the ball and mabe pull it back a little and the nxts do that for me just fine. These prov1x balls may be right up my ally with more duribility more spin than the nxts and not as much as the original prov1s

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
