Product Description
The Titleist Pro V1 represents the coalescence of three of Titleist's industry leading technologies: large solid core, multi-component construction, and high performance Urethane Elastomer cover technology. Fast initial velocity, lower spin and high launch combine to produce a flatter, less arcing ascent and straight ball flight for exceptional driver and long iron distance. The trajectory profile of the New Titleist Pro V1 generates a steep angle of descent into the green and provides Drop-and-Stop performance on approach shots.
The Titleist Pro V1x delivers very low driver and iron spin combined with very high speed. The result is exceptionally long distance and a straight flight, particularly for the game's hardest hitters.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Titleist Pro V1 golf ball is designed for serious golfers of all levels that demand Tour-validated technology and performance. The ball offers such essential features as a soft and resilient core that improves your feel and distance, a resilient Ionomer casing layer, and a high-performance Urethane Elastomer cover. The technologies combine to produce low spin off your driver or irons, while maintaining soft compression for outstanding feel when approaching the greens. Golfers will especially appreciate the Pro V1's Drop-and-Stop control, which helps them better influence the spin on approach shots. The A.I.M. side stamp, meanwhile, is terrific for putting, as it helps you align the ball with the hole. Other details include a higher-coverage 392-dimple design that improves the flight trajectory and a staggered wave parting line that enhances distance. Titleist also sells an upgraded version of the Pro V1 called the Pro V1x. Designed to boost distance even more, the Pro V1x retains many of the same features of the Pro V1--including the staggered wave parting line, A.I.M. side stamp, and Stop-and-Drop control system--but offers a 332-dimple design for added length, along with a soft-center 1.55-inch dual core design that produces less spin off the driver and long irons. This makes the Titleist Pro V1x particularly valuable for the game's hardest hitters, as it's longer off the tee than the Pro V1. Golfers who want a softer feel should opt for the Pro V1 instead.

Best golf ball on the market today, period November 26, 2005

Don't let anyone tell you that playing with the right equipment doesn't make a difference in your game, because it does. Getting a set of affordable custom-fit clubs was the key for me in finally getting my index down into single digits ... along with a few lessons and some serious work, of course.
Similarly, the difference between playing a professional ball like the Titleist ProV1 and a low-cost, low-quality alternative adds up to anywhere from 1-2 strokes per round, if not more.
If playing your absolute best and posting the scores to show for it isn't worth paying a few extra dollars to you, then fine. But it is to me, even if these days I'm lucky to play once every couple weeks or so.
The real decision is whether to choose the softer, more forgiving ProV1 or the longer, less workable ProV1x. Both are professional quality ... which one is right for you depends on your game and preferences.
Although I'm past 50 years of age, height and distance have never been a problem. I've never been one to rip it 300 yards, but am consistantly in the 250-275 range when I hit it on the screws. Over the years I've learned the lesson of the "drive for show, putt for dough" mantra. Course management and short game are the secrets to going low.
Which is why I prefer the ProV1. It's plenty long for me, but the real deciding factor is the soft feel off the putter and around the green. It does spin -- in fact the first time I played it I spun back and off the green when landing pin high twice on the front nine. So it may take some getting used to at first.
The ProV1x is a fine ball if you need the extra distance. But after playing the ProV1 it does feel a little on the hard side, especially with the flat stick.
Look, 90 percent of the pros wouldn't be playing these balls if they didn't deliver for them week in and week out, and in various playing conditions. So the next morning you're handing over the credit card for green fees and a cart, toss a sleeve of both the ProV1 and ProV1x on the counter and judge for yourself.
What do you have to lose besides a few strokes (and a few extra dollars)?
Fairways and greens, my friends.
The best ball I've hit February 20, 2005

I'm not exactly a scratch golfer, but my equipment is more geared toward a scratch rather than a golfer of the handicap I actually am. That's because I'm seeking to become scratch, and don't want to be dependent upon any what I call "crutch" equipment, but want my improvement to be skill based.
I've found the ball, at least for me, is the golfer's most important piece of equipment. I also chuckle at guys that will drop $400 on a driver, a club they probably can't hit very well, but will nickle and dime for whatever balls they can get away with buying. Yes, I realize balls have to be replaced much more often than clubs, but saving a few dollars isn't worth the trouble. And you can buy x-outs and practice Pro-V1 balls that are exactly the same as in the new box, except for cosmetic stuff.
I started out playing with Top Flight, as those were about the cheapest. They might as well be rocks. I then started experimenting with premium balls in the logo overrun bins. There I found Maxfli Revolution, which are (or were) really good balls. After reading other reviews, I started using Precept Lady (yes, guy's, that's right -- its a good ball for you), and liked those balls as they were compared to Pro V1. Finally, I tried the Titleist and have no plans on changing until they stop making them. Unless I hit something that I like better.
The Maxflis had much better spin than the ladys. Now the Titleist balls have better spin and better distance than the lady ball. Not as much spin as the Maxflis, which is helpful around the green, but better for me off the tee and in the fairway.
Pick up a box of X-outs and try them.

These balls will aways be the best of the best if you can afford them. I usually can't.

All there products are truely overpriced and substandard. I used the product as well and know for a fact that these balls suck. They only work if you have a perfect swing and super exellent control. [...] If your wondering what ball to buy instead try a sack of rejects or used used. Fyi Rejects only have distorted logos and Every golf ball only has a hundred hits in them, but the used ones have about 60-70 left. So if you insist on this type of ball used ones are the ones to get.
