no matter your handicap, all golfers should play the titleist prov1x, perfect spin rates on the ball, and high trajectory maximize distance on every shot

ignore this comment, it is too broad of a statement and it's clearly not factual.

http://www.titleist.com/players/play...lls.asp?bhcp=1 The following players use a PRO V1 for their CAREERS! They obviously could use a v1x if they wished Steve Stricker Adam Scott Scott Verplank David Toms Nick O Hern Hunter Mahan John Senden Chris DiMarco Bernhard Langer Ryan Moore Vaughn Taylor Paul Goydos Heath Slocum Shaun Micheel JJ Henry Troy Matteson Camilo Villegas My point is there is a lot more to picking a ball than just reading on the box. I'm still trying to figure out which ball is better for me. the V1 or the V1x.

Swing = Stacked and On Plane when possible.

I love the prov1, but to be honest I found a ball I like even better. I was playing a scramble last weekend and somehow started playing with this Nike black. OMFG this thing is long off the tee. spins like a mad dog and great feel on the greens. I'm going to buy a dozen this week and see if it continues, but I'm totally impressed with the ball. worth a try. Pass on the cally hx tour too soft

uhhh, right. Because.....

Steve Stricker Adam Scott Scott Verplank David Toms Nick O Hern Hunter Mahan John Senden Chris DiMarco Bernhard Langer Ryan Moore Vaughn Taylor Paul Goydos Heath Slocum Shaun Micheel JJ Henry Troy Matteson Camilo Villegas are not really very highly ranked. Come on, not to be highly critical here but just admit that your statement was too broad on saying that Pro V1x is the ball EVERYBODY should use.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
