Like others have said, your SS does not match that ball, but if you are hardcore on purchasing one or the other. IMO it really doesn't matter which one you purchase, you aren't going to see any difference between the two.

Agreed. It's not that he can't play a ProV1 or 1X without a fast swing speed, but he certainly won't see a difference between the two. And there are balls that are

better suited for his swing and game. But it's his money.

What swing speed is correct for establishing yourslef with the pro v series?

Titleist says "higher swing speeds" which should translate into 105+ or thereabouts. You won't hurt your game by playing these, but you may lose a few yards against a ball suited for your swing speed. Try the b330rx. It doesn't say ProV1, which seems to be a sticking point for you... but you'll be happier with it.

I actually am quite a bridgestone ball fan, and always have been. It just always seems like when I get either a pro v1 or pro v1x on the tee and around the greens I play at my best level. I havent tested my swing speed in about a year and now that I think about it Im probably in the range of 105+ because ive been doing a lot of golf fitness too.

I'll politely disagree with the "swing speed" theory. I've played everything from supersoft to firm balls and distance-wise I've found any difference to be negligible at best. If one goes "longer" it was because it was simply a better shot.

well, it's not a 'theory', it's a fact. a high spin ball will carry farther if properly compressed, but will not roll as far. a lower spin ball won't carry as far but will roll out more. so, if you have a slow swing then not only will it not carry, it won't roll either. and yeah, it is a big difference.

Well, you guys convinced me. I did a ton of research and found that the Bridgestone B330 RX Tour is the best ball for me and my swing speed. Thanks everyone for not letting me get out of my mind and purchase something well out of my league like the Pro V1(x). You guys are awesome! This ball is great!

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
