Advantages: Best combination of spin, distance and feel. Disadvantages: Price, softer shell may may weather sooner than harder golf balls.
I personally would highly reccomend the ball to better standard of golfers who enjoy the playability arond the greens, yet still require extra distance off the the tee combined with the softer feel in comparison to other distance balls. The ball is also renowned for its 'drop and stop' controll. However, to any average to lower standard player, I would advise to play a cheaper, harder ball with more durability as shot making isn't to much of an issue to the higher handicapers. Although the price of a dozen is fairly standard for a top ball, it could however put off some social golfers due to the lack of golf they may get with them. So in all, i think that if you are serious about improving your golf, then this is the ball for you. ...

Advantages: Great name in golf balls Disadvantages: Not really for high handicappers
I'm not really into the science of golfballs, all I know is that there are good balls and not so good balls. I wouldn't play with golfballs that cost 20p per ball such as Donnay because they don't feel nice to hit and yes on the golf course you just don't use Donnay to play low rounds and in tourneys.
I tried a titleist ProV1X today in a Stableford tourney off white tees so I had a little extra yardage to play, I mostly use Titleist PTS Solo because they are designed for mid to high handicappers, and I can hit them, so they work for me. Titleist have brought out this new breed of ball, and as i said I don't know the science so i'm not going to say there is this and there is that, etc. All i know is that these balls are designed to cut out spin, have a lower flight and create more distance, however, I never saw any of that. To me ...
Advantages: great feel and distance Disadvantages: cost
I have been playing golf for 15 years and always play with a Titleist ball. It's something of a habit, but the ball suits my game. In cold wet conditions I'll play with the pts wound ball, and in dry summer conditions the professional balata. That was until I tried the newest product from Titleist, the proV1.
It is the tour professionals choice of ball combining both distance and feel.It is longer off the tee than the balata ball but gets enormous spin around the green.
I'm not sure how Titleist have done it, but I was amazed at the extra length I got off the tee and the control and spin I got around the green. Putting with it is a dream, the ball doesn't fly off the putter like the wound ball.
At the moment the cost of the ball will put off all but the most accomplished golfer, at £35 a dozen you don't really want to 'lose' a ball ...
