is it possible that i lost distance going from a bridgestone e6 to the pro v 1x? the driver shots are as long but the iron shots seem to be a good 15 yards short. is the ball maybe spinning too much and ballooning to a shorter distance? i switched because i love the spin around the greens but the loss of distance is troubling me...

the pro v1x is the lesser spinning of the two.they do go higher due to less spin.try the regular pro v1 it will not go so high with as much spin.

I've never found that my distance was any less with the irons with the ProV1x and that is the ball I play most.

And you surely wouldn't be losing 15 yards with it. Maybe a couple yards or something like 3, but no way 15 yards...

The e6+ will have less spin than the pro v1x, but you're not going to lose 15 yards on an iron shot by switching golf balls. Maybe 3-5, if there's a huge difference between the golf balls, but not 15 yards. You're just hitting the ball differently.

Were these pro v1x's previously used balls you ordered from somewhere? perhaps they had been sitting in a lake for a long time and had been damaged by water?

no, brand new from golf galaxy...

Must've been your imagination then dude. Unless you were into some heavy wind or something...no way would you lose 15 yards. I played with a ProV1x today for about 12 holes and I didn't notice a loss in distance what-so-ever, so you are surely not losing 15.

Yes. On average, the ProV is about a club shorter for me than a ball that spins less. The temperature can also have an impact on the ball's performance. I played a ball similar to a ProV in 102 degree heat last week and it was like hitting a hackey sack. A harder two piece ball would not be affected as much.

So because you played 12 holes with a ProVx1 he is clearly not losing 15 yards on his shots? Do you work for titleist or are you just on their jock? It could be a lot of things they spin more than the e6 so if you cut acrossed it even a little it will show. Plus all of your mishits will not get the same flight as it did with e6. I do agree with possibly trying the tp blacks or zstar if you are looking to change balls then I'd try a bunch.

Agree. 15 yards is ridiculous. I don't think I'd see that much yardage difference between any two golf balls, whether they be Pink Ladies or Pro V1s.

I am not sure but one thing I have noticed about the 09 x's is that they seem to be a bit harder to compress. If you are missing it a bit then you will not compress it.

I have had days when I was 15 yards shorter because I was missing everything.

Prov1 is different from a Prov1X. Pro V1's, at least for me, spin more. The X's don't spin as much.

No matter what ball he is using, he's NOT going to gain/lose 15 yards from golf ball to golf ball. I won't add 15 yards by playing a Bridgestone e6. I've played them many times. 5 yards I could HONESTLY see. But you really think he's losing 15 yards from a golf ball with iron shots? A. He's mishitting the ball all of a sudden B. Into some heavy wind or other play condition It's that simple - If you know a ball that will go 15 yards further than the Prov1X let me know, I'd love to switch to it bro.

I can honestly say they SEEM to be a lot shorter than the HX Hot Plus Callys I have been using. I tried a Pro V for a round and a V1X for another round and switchd back to the HX because I lost distance. I know distance isn't everything but I don't backspin the ball (other than a couple by accident) and the Callaway is $20 a doz cheaper so I won't be going back to the Titleist anytime soon. I had to go 1 iron longer with the Pro V1's and I lost distance off the tee for sure.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
