I have a slow swing speed since I'm young. I hear the e6's are good for slow swing speeds.I get free prov1's. Is it worth buying e6's or should I stick with prov1's?

If you get ProV1s for free, it takes the cost per ball out of the equation, so stick with them (or at least stick with something)

Pro V1s could be hurting you since you have a slow swing though.  You may find that you get more distance with a ball that is more low spin.  You might want to try a ball like the Bridgestone E7 or really any ball in the $20 a dozen range.

The ProV1s should be good. My son also uses them.

In the uk there are pro v1 & pro v1x One of them is softer for a slower swing speed, but I forgetwhich one, as I only play Bridgestone.

Free is good!  Do you get all Titleist balls for free, or just the ProV1's?  If it's all Titleist balls, you might also try some of their other offerings.....maybe the DT Solo as a first option.

Failing that, the ProV1's may not be right for your game.  If you find something you like better, maybe a lower spin ball that gives you some extra distance, I'll bet you can find some barter opportunities. I'd be happy to buy, and swap you a dozen of just about any ball you like, in exchange for a dozen ProV1's.......and I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a bunch of others willing to do the same locally!

I second the vote for DT Solos. I like them because the don't spin too much but still stick the greens pretty well.

      Golf Workouts

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
