If I was a multimillionaire pro, I'd have my own new batch of ProV1x's brought to hit at each range session. Donate them to the First Tee or another kids program after.

There's no need really. The ball flights aren't going to change that much between a normal range ball or a top shelf ball. When they're on the range, they're simply warming up and working on striking the ball well and testing the waters. The ProV1x's qualities are only going to come in to play in the short game and putting for the most part. Despite what people think about low-spin balls not slicing or hooking as much, the numbers actually don't change that much.

Can't argue with that. But if it was pennies to me, I'd probably do it anyhow! Haha

They get balls of their choice.

There are bags of ProV1, ProV1X, Callaway, Srixon, Nike,  whatever  - all available to them

They ONLY hit the balls they use in tournaments.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Check out this Back Stage Pass segment on a PGA Tour event. Slide 10 shows you that the practice range offers big-name balls to the players. http://www.golf.com/photos/behind-scenes-pga-tour-event/range-balls#320952

Interesting. I was actually wondering about this too. First time I saw a range use top end balls was when I flew to Arizona on a golf trip. We get range rocks up here in Canada :D

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
