Titleist launched the Pro V1x a few years ago amongst much hype, so much so that initially they were very hard to get hold of, that is not the case nowadays as they can be easily purchased at any local Pro Shop or major golfing outlet.
Not long after came the Pro V1x a ball that spun a little less and was meant to go that little bit further again. For a few seasons I used the Pro V1x but have only just got round to writing the review (for the record I now rarely used the Pro V1 or Pro V1x).
The like, all the top performing golf balls (including the Maxfli Revolution which I have just reviewed), is a three piece construction with a solid core, a softer outer layer and a thin, soft shell. This type of construction has replaced the more traditional balata ball construction as it outperform in terms of distance, spin and durability, the latter of which is most important to me as I don't want one thin to result in the ball being ruined, although the Pro V1x is still pretty soft and does mark / scar quite easily, whether that be from a thin, or bouncing off a path/tree etc.
In terms of distance the ball is second to none, for a ball which is very soft it travels a long way through the air, so much so that it is as long if not longer than all but the hardest of balls (such as TopFlight XL) and the same can be said for spin too. A well struck iron, even it is a short pitch in or an aggressive chip will bite nicely.
The Pro V1x has a different ball flight to most others, it tends to climb steeply and then drop almost vertically, which can initially be disconcerting as you think that the shot is going to be far too long (initially this may be case as they can play a up to a club longer than some other balls.
To conclude my review the Pro V1 ball is, in my opinion, the best out there for the distance / spin / feel combination (although others such as the Maxfli Revolution, and Nike One come very close). However as mentioned they ate prone to scuffing and at anywhere between £30 and £35 per dozen they are now a bit too pricey for this new home owner !
