I do like the Pro V1 characteristics. Value, well I get a box from my son in law during the holiday and I find many on the course too! Thanks

🟣 you confirmed my thoughts on loosing distance on the x with my 90m/hr driver 80m/hr iron swing speed 🟣 I found about 30 ish ProV1s and sell the x because they don’t suit me 🟣 a lower compression golf ball is better for me

I find the prov1x is more prone to fade/draw off the drive than the. Prov1. Very durable balls, outlast any other i have tried. I don't loose many.

That's correct. The spin with the x model definitely can get out of hand for some players. I have some work colleagues that also hate the driver side spin on the x

I really appreciate this review, just subscribed and liked. I also have a swing speed in the 90-95 range so I value your perspective. I'd suggest testing the Titleist AVX against the ProV1. The AVX is the lower compression alternative to the ProV1 and works well for this swing speed range, while still being a premium ball. Thanks for your consideration.

What ball do you think is best for your swing speed?
@thomastrain7311
3 ай бұрын
My 9 iron avg is 148 yds for comparison 3 hdcp. The X gives me a bit higher flight with wedges and a bit more spin. They spin more on pitch and chip shots than the V1. Once i get to 7 iron on down to driver there is virtually no difference for me. So, it boils down to this. More spin or lower flight and roll out? If you count on roll out to maximize distance and have a lower flight, hit the V1.
@GolfBallAddict
3 ай бұрын
That's a good take. I would like to add that I think this is for advanced players. Most average golfers don't have a consistent enough ball flight one way or the other which only proves the point that the pro v 1 one should be at the advanced players only. Thanks for sharing the awesome feedback and for watching! :-)

Thank you for this. I picked up a dozen Pro v1x balls because the pro shop was out of pro v1. I Thought how different can they be? I lost an entire club in distance and consistently came up short when chipping. I've looked for spec sheets to try and narrow down which ball is best for me. Why they keep this data hidden is beyond me.

Not a problem. Don't feel bad, this is a common thing for a lot of people. I see it at my work a lot too. As far as why they don't list that, it's all about the marketing. They don't want you to buy the best wallets for you. They want you to buy the most expensive ball. That's why they pay so many tour players all that money, to lead you to believe it'll help your game
@thomastrain7311

Yes I've learned the X will spin more with wedges/short irons which makes it launch higher and come straight down and stop. The V1 has a lower flight and will tend to run out more. Once I get to 7 iron down to driver there is virtually no difference for me. Hope this helps.

You seem like a good guy to ask this question too. I have a very slow swing speed due to some mobility issues, around 70 mph, what ball or balls would you recommend to get the best performance at my speed? P.S. love the vids.
@GolfBallAddict

Thank you for watching and the love. Here are a few you can try that I really like allot: Budget conscience balls: Maxfli soft Pinnacle soft Wilson zip Wilson duo soft After that, there is another ball I think might benefit you quite a bit. Calloway makes a golf ball called the super soft Max. It's extremely easy to get up in the air and has a very low compression. I got great numbers with it, and my mother, it also has a slow swing speed, uses the female version of it. The kicker is at the ball is slightly larger than your normal golf ball. So I never recommend it for putting. But as far as the rest of your shots it's amazing.

In your opinion, what is a more value friendly option that is similar to the prov1?
@GolfBallAddict
5 ай бұрын
The first thing I would ask, is that I would want to know your swing speed. I would definitely recommend being at least 100 mph with a driver to use the pro v1. However to answer your question, there are a couple great options that I think work much better. 1. Sugar golf ball - this golf ball ranked number one in my top 100 list. Lot of features look and feel similar but way better distance, feel, and value. 2. Mizuno tour x - this ball feels a lot more springy than the pro V1 does, the holy cow the numbers are incredible. Ranked number 11 in my top 100 list and I've seen even that my golf spy has them ranked consistently high. A great showing from Mizuno in 2023. 3. Wilson staff model. I had much better results with this ball than the pro v1. Now I know the price is technically similar however Wilson consistently offers buy two get one free. If you can get that deal it's definitely worth it. 4. This one is kind of a wild card but still is worth a shot. A company called brunch golf sent me some balls last year and the testing was pretty decent. The gentleman who ran the company told me their sole purpose was to copy the pro V1 the best they could at a better value. It's $40 for 16 golf balls. So not a bad deal. Definitely worth a shot

I will NEVER play with any ball other than pro V1x……. I’ve tried almost every ball out there & there is a NOTICEABLE difference in my ball flight & feel. It springs off the club. The distance is +30yds & goes straight. Every other ball I’ve tried goes to the right too much. With that being said, it’s difficult to putt with. I’m so used to softer balls I’m hitting this one too hard but that can be adjusted hopefully lol

@@enzy6434Good Ball? Yes. Quality control alone makes it that. Best ball for average players? Not even close. Despite what Titleist claims and so many reviews echo because they'll get torn up by guys like you if they don't, these balls are designed to maximize performance at high swing speeds. They are far from ideal for the average player.
