Thinking about switching from V1 to V1x

[Spectrums]

I use Pro V1X, even with my slow swing speed. It does help me get some spin, but when I play Pro V1, I don't get enough.

When you're capable of spinning the ball as much as I do at times, you'd be glad you're not using a Pro V1 if it were to hit the green, spin backwards off the front end, down the hill and into a lake. But that's just me, I suppose.

then why use a spin milled wedge instead of just a 200 series?

Just bought the spin-milled wedge yesterday. Couldn't find a 200 series in the loft and (lack of) bounce that I wanted. I can use a V1x just fine with everything else, though. Even though I played 9 holes I never had a chance to use the Vokey (everything required either a pitching wedge or a 60) and I'm not going to play a shot with the wrong club just to try it out...I don't think, am I?

dont really have a preference. i have a fairly quick swing speed, i think ill go with the v1, only becasue of the satisfaction i get when i hit a trapshot at winged foot to see it jump past the hole and come right back to get up and down. Theres almost no difference to me.

Sheesh, you guys really read alot into the ball you use. Give me a premium ball and I'll play it. I go from Callaway HX Tour to 56, to ProV1 to X, and even Hogan Tour Deep. Driving and iron playability and distance are virtually the same. Like iacas mentioned, it's the short game feel that sways me to use one ball over the other. Hard greens cal for ProV1 or Callaway 56, soft greens the HX Tour or ProV1x. My Callaway rep tells me the Hogan Tour Deep is actually the HX56 with regular round dimples opposed to the hex.

That doesn't really make any sense. The Pro V1 spins more, not the other way around.

lol ya pro v1x's are the lower spinning of the two, but honestly i dont think theres any huge difference. The v1 checks up a little more i guess but off the tee i dont notice much, both seem to climb the same way to similar heights and traj.

For what it's worth I played a red white and blue tourny last weekend with a prov1x i bought off a little girl selling balls on one of the tee boxes the day before for .50. I shot an 80 the first day, and had a 39 on the front the next, used the same ball for both days. My course handicap was a 22. Perhaps I was just having a great weekend but that ball performed quite well, our greens are not that firm though. I typicaly play a nxt tour and lose about 1 per round.

well today i got a dozen of pro v1s and pro v1x. front nine i used pro v1s shot a 40 and back nine used prov1x 38. I saw a big difference in my driving with the xs they where alot smoother. But for putting i liked the v1s better.
