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.

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.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
