My personal humorous "It's not me" camparison, ProV1 vs Prov1x

[SAGolfLuvr]

Yesterday I played the New ProV1x for the 3rd time in a full round. Being a 12 Handicapper, I knew Exactly how to hit this quality distance ball. With winds gusting at 32mph here in San Antonio, I shot a perfect score of 88 on a par 72. I knew that my excellent chipping and putting after missing 12 of 18 greens in regulation helped me to obtain that score with the Pro V1x. The Pro V1x performed perfectly as said on the outside of the box.

I figured my Superior skills would be better suited for the higher spin rate ProV1. So today I played the ProV1. I used my perfect and superior techniques to zip my club through the ball to create the spin that the outside of the ProV1 box told me about. Unlike yesterday, I made sure that I looked up early on nearly every chip and approach shot to make sure that I could see this ball perform the way the box said it would. I was immensely disappointed. It had a tendency to skirt across the greens and get hit with the blade of my clubs. Why would Titleist they design a ball that would do that???

Judging by the inferior characteristics of the ProV1, I would recommend the ProV1x to anyone looking to upgrade the quality of their golf ball. I appreciate you taking the time to read my totally scientific and expert analysis of the ProV1 v.s ProV1x comparison. I Thank You all in advance for accepting my expert analysis as fact. I assure you that the 28 shares in Titliest that I own has nothing to do with my recommendations.

Cute. Well written also!  :)

Are you serious about the V1 spinning less though? I came to the opposite conclusion. Just curious!

It's SAGolfLuvr's light hearted humor.  When you read it carefully, SAGolfLuvr tells you he skulled his shots with Prov V1.

[SAGolfLuvr]

WMiller, Yukari is 100% correct. I am NOT serious about the ProV1 spinning less than the ProV1x. I believe that the ProV1 DOES spin more than the ProV1x, however, I could not produce that result. Of course, in the spirit of this thread, I blame this on "equipment malfunction" :-)  The seasoned golfer will pick out my flaws in my post and CORRECTLY point out that my technique is the true problem.

Ah... Missed that part. Maybe because I was laughing too hard? Still enjoyed the post though.

I think you need some new irons.  I heard next year's TaylorMade SGI line will detect that you've pulled your head up and extend by up to two inches in a split second, guaranteeing consistent, fat contact.

Zeg, I really Love today's new technology and I Thank You very much for informing me about next year's TaylorMade Irons. After researching the irons you spoke of, I agree that Consistently Fat shots as a result of TaylorMade's 2012 new line of anti-skulling technology irons (SGI obviously stands for Sorry Golf Improved) is exactly what I need to make the ProV1 perform perfectly. It would be so nice if TaylorMade made this new line of irons available by Father's Day. *sigh*

This.

I'd also recommend swapping your glove out for one of these - http://keeperglove.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/fingersave-goalkeeper-glove.jpg

I thought you were being serious until about halfway through when I realised you were taking the piss

Definitely the ball's fault. Anything that's different between your best game ever and any other given game is probably to blame for you not playing that same exact best game. For example, for me recently it was using a different brand of sunblock. It was causing these crazy hooks that couldn't be tamed. I gave that worthless stuff a 1/2 start rating in the equipment reviews. Now I'm convinced that if you're not spending $20/lb on sunblock you'll get crappy quality.

I'm not sure the < $20/lb sunscreen is approved for sale in Canada.

You're right, I meant oz. We were looking at allergy-sensitive sunscreen recently and I was surprised that you could pay $20/oz for sunscreen. I remembered the number but botched the units... :roll:
