Titleist Pro V1x

Advantages: Goes FAR further than the average golf ball
Disadvantages: Can only be used successfully by the top players

...~ ~ The Titleist Pro V1x is the successor to the Titleist Pro V1, which Titleist launched back in 1996. Before the mid-1990’s, the golf ball of choice of the vast majority of professional and top amateur golfers was a ball manufactured from soft balata rubber. This was because the softer balata ball with its wound rubber core allowed the top players to impart more spin, and thus to land it more softly on the putting surface. But this extra ...
...this has now changed since Titleist launched the new Pro V1x. So why exactly is it that so many of the top players are now changing to this new ball from Titleist? The answer to that question is very simple and straightforward. The Pro V1x simply goes miles further than any other ball currently being produced. In recent tournaments Ernie Els, the South African professional and current holder of the British Open title has routinely been hitting ... Read review

Advantages: Great name in golf balls
Disadvantages: Not really for high handicappers

...I tried a titleist Pro V1X 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, ...
...that. To me the new titleist ball felt like a Pro V1, and i try not to use those either because they are too soft for me and don't travel like the Solo PTS. I felt the Pro V1 X wasn't the ball for a high handicapper who is happy busting 90 gross each week, I would imagine the ball is really for a low to scratch handicapper who knows all the fundimental rules of hitting a ball, and getting it into the dustbin lid zone on the green. I think the price ... Read review

Advantages: Distance, Feel, durability
Disadvantages: Price

...well as most. Titleist describes its characteristics as: Longer Tee to Green. Straight consistant Ball flight. Drop and Stop Technology. Soft High speed Performance feel. Shear and Abrasion Resistant Cover. With none of this can I argue, but for someone who wants to know how this will affect there game, what does it mean? Longer Tee to Green - I found that I was hitting my irons much further. This meant I could pick a shorter, easier to control ...
...in it's play. If the Titleist weren't available I'd probably use this. Other competitors of merit are the Callaway Hex (the new Black version of this is supposed to be very special). The Wilson True is another ball aiming at lower handicap golfers, i found this ball to be very good on around the green but a little weak off the tee and the fairway. Summary - The Pro V1 has got a hefty price tag (over £3 per ball), but in my view it is worth every ... Read review

Advantages: Very Long (excellent distance), Very soft, Good spin control, Durable, Easy to find!!
Disadvantages: Wouldn`t recommend it for fast and soft greens!!

...playing with the new improved Titleist Pro V1. This is the number 1 golf ball in the PGA tour, and the fact that Tiger does not play with it, doesn`t mean is not good!! As a matter of fact 8 out of the top 10 players last year on the PGA tour played with this ball and most of them will not switch to another ball even if the offer them a juicy contract...why?..simply becuase they know that this is THE BEST GOLF THERE IS. This New Improved Pro V1 , ...
...back as much as the first Pro v1), higher durability (this is impressive you can play 18, 36, 45 holes with the same ball and if you are a decent player the ball might even continue being "useable") and with all the new technology available. I am scratch player and I play golf on the at the collegiate level (golf scholarship)..and all of my teammates, and almost every other university we play against are using this outstanding ball. why?..becuase ...

Advantages: Pro use, Feel, Spin rates
Disadvantages: Durability, cost.

...It was simply marketed because titleist saw the opportunity, through huge pro popularity, to get it onto our courses, thus making them a ton in the process. The advantages of this ball, might be proved in the pro game but to be honest, and as this is from my own point and personal experiences myself and the people that I play with have seen little to no benefit to our games in comparison to other balls that we can get hold of, at a considerably cheaper ...
...to be thought about if titleist are to succeed with the marketing of this golf ball. When we hit this with the driver it felt soft and like penfold or soft strata, not the confidence instilling hard ourer that we were promised. The rrp of these balls are around the £35 mark, they have actually become more durable due to advanacements in the materials they are made out of and this has helped make them last almost a ball a round in my case. The distance ... Read review

Advantages: Price, Overall Package
Disadvantages: Durability ??

...I have being playing golf for since I was a teenager and over the years have tried various balls - and of late, since gaining a reasonable handicap, have always opted for slightly softer balls, that give more control and feel around the greens. Now to my mind the best ball out there for distance and feel is the Titleist Pro V1x and for a couple of seasons that is all I used, however since buying the house a few years ago and not playing as much golf as I used to the £30(+) per dozen is a little bit too much. So of late I have been using the Topflight Zbalata - which I hopefully write a review on shortly - but a couple of weeks ago I won 6 Maxfli Revolution. The Maxfli Revolution, like many balls claims to give distance without loosing the spin or softness to give the control around the greens. The ball itself is a 3 piece ball (hard... Read review

Advantages: the pro v1 is a very good ball and as well as beeing a good performing ball it aspires confidence its a favorate amongst club players and i would recomend it to most golfer BUT if would also recomend trying out the NXT titleist balls before paying £40
Disadvantages: the pro v 1 is very expensive andwill not drop in pirce for sum time

...Yes the pro v 1 is a very good ball and worth recomendation but there is a range of titleist balls on the market that for a fraction of the price perform just as well. last year i used the pro v 1 all season and had some very nice results but i have decided to use the cheaper NXT balls from titleist, alredy the balls are performing just like the pro v1's. i play alot of golf now and have decided to keep using the NXT balls to save the extra cash. So i would recomend you check the other titleist balls on the market before buying the pro v 1s , but dont put the pro v1 balls down they are very very good and if you do have the extra bit of money to spend on some balls then the pro v 1 is probabilly the better option. heres a little more info for people wanting to know more about the titleist balls for 2005 The pro V1X - a good ball...
