New Pro v1 or Pro v1x

[delav]

I bet you could give a ProV1 to almost all amateurs and tell them it spins more, and they would think it spins more. Give them a ProV1x and tell them it spins more, and they would think it spins more. My advice is to buy the cheapest ProV you can. They are all excellent, and there's not a lick of difference between them for our games.

Funny you mention that.... I found several pro v1 392s in an old golf bag. Play like any other Pro V1 I've used recently, especially on the stupid shots that I hit far too often.

They dont?

I guess they were originally 58 a box. My local shop had a sleeve for like 15 and the titleist prov1's were like 12

If you are going to "try" the ProV balls, I would suggest purchasing a 4-A or 5-A rated dozen from lostgolfballs.com. They are absolutely good as new and half the price including shipping.

so I just picked up a sleeve of the prov1x balls, Im impressed with them so far and I think I will like them more than the prov1. Out of curousity I checked titleists website to see which one the pros are using. The prov1x is used by way more pros by like a 15 to 1 margin.

I play with Prov1x ball, I noticed that they are straighter of the driver and longer irons (probbaly due to the less spin) but still feel crisp enough for me around the greens and on shorter iron shots.

I prefer the Prov1x over the Prov1

I thought the new TP reds are the spinnier ball and the blacks are like the prov1x
the bnew ones being the LDP 360 dimples not the 332 or whatever they were
Even on the box it says what they're supposed to be

Thats cause they are longer and spin less. As good as 99% of pros swing, they can make a V1x spin plenty. A regular V1 would probably spin TOO much for them......as in hitting 10ft past the pin, and ripping backwards past the hole and off the font of the green. Us mortals dont necessarily have to worry about that, though! I personally prefer the "X" as wel, though.

I like the softer feel of the v1 more than the v1x, although I can't say that I've noticed a big difference between the two in actually playability. It's more in my head than anything else.

Pro V1x for me. I spin the regular Pro V1 waaaaayyyyy to much and have a real hard time controlling it with my short irons. With a full wedge off the fairway, a Pro V1x back up about 5 feet from where it hit on the green. A Pro V1 I have had spin all the way off the green.

Not go off topic, but.... I am playing TM Penta. I think it is right in between the V1 and V1x. Great distance / great control.

Agreed, the ProV1 spins too much for me, the ProV1x is the perfect all around ball for my game

[motteler621]

yea I just played a full 18 with the prov1x. I like it much better. Doesnt brown up, goes longer and straighter than the prov1, feels good off the putter and still spins and stops great. its like the perfect ball that I have found so far. The others I have used are either too soft or to hard and wont spin at all.

Pro V1 for me.

[CRODOG]

Personally I use prov1s as they spin more and I am fairly long off the tee anyway. It really depends on what you feel more comfortable with

[CRODOG]

Same, Great Choice!

What is 'brown up'?
