I just wish the premium balls came with a more pronounced alignment line on them instead of using a sharpie that invariably smudges
You’re in luck! You can get them with enhancement alignment markings now.
New Pro V1 or Pro 1x?

Don’t you have to special order those from titleist

No, you just have special needs if you order them.
Seriously, these lines on the golf ball make zero difference to the score, and cost about 20 minutes a round.

I find that my propensity for losing balls makes these an every now and again buy. I do find a lot when I’m in the clag though

I’m amazed that you find other golf balls in areas where you are looking for yours ? Are you sure they aren’t balls you lost their previously

That's ok, there's no rush to get round

Possibly, not sure, I usually buy in their yearly bulk offer with my name printed on them. Last batch lasted 3 years. I won’t get my name on them next time - that turned out to be a really stupid idea because of where I lose some of them.

That's better but I would still like to see a decent line that goes about 1/4 to 1/3rd of the way round.

The question isn’t whether you can feel the difference, more whether you can hear it.

My current HI is +1 ?, if feel was a real thing, isn't it more likely I'd be promoting the old "feel" clichés?
You started by saying that you can tell the difference "in feel" when putting between a ProV1 and a ProV1X. I'm telling you that is nothing but absolute brainwashed nonsense.
Hit some putts, chips and full shots with no knowledge of what ball you are hitting and without being able to hear the contact. Just try it, then find out for yourself.
Do you have a ball you always use? If so which is it, and why ( why not) do you use the same ball?

And, to be fair, it's been preached for some time now that feel is really the sound so they're intertwined
Sound is feel, feel is sound....and "feel" is such a subjective word anyway..

The whole feel debate also comes down to your putter and if it has an insert or not ... some inserts have a huge effect.
With respect to feel off your irons, I agree you won’t know much if your playing a hollow head or tuned cast head ... they are designed in a way that kills any idea. A blade yes you can tell but you have to be pretty good at finding the middle because anything off the toe feels horrible.
I would also say having a low handicap is not a measure of sensitivity, it was never that way in any sports I have been involved in.
As an example we would use Rubens Barrichello to conduct tyre construction tests as the differences they give are so subtle, David Coultard used to do it as well and compound selection was pretty easy for all of them. Then Mika would just take DC’s set up and favoured tyre and drive it hard. Feedback would be “yeah it’s okay”

I have read lots and seen a lot from Today’s Golfer and My Golf Spy that show that ProV1X and BX are pretty much what I want from a ball
I found a BXS and bought a sleeve of BRX and BRXS — to be honest the ProV1 and BXS do feel/sound/feel/sound to me better for putting than the BX and 1X — but for the whole course I want the BX and 1X
Snell MTBX has amazing MGS ratings but not in Britain esp cheap, and slightly worse dispersion and production consistency (which is important for me)
BX seems to be about £8 cheaper per dozen so I’m going to use that exclusively this year
During the winter though I’ll be using Srixon AD333. Supposed to be the best ‘cheaper’ ball and £15 cheaper per dozen than the BX —- and its winter — the greens aren’t great LOL

Glyn keeps a golf ball for months at a time. He hits them so softly that they never really scuff up. He would put his phone number on there and hope anyone who found a ball he actually managed to lose would call him and post it backPossibly, not sure, I usually buy in their yearly bulk offer with my name printed on them. Last batch lasted 3 years. I won’t get my name on them next time - that turned out to be a really stupid idea because of where I lose some of them.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
In the same way “muscle memory “ is stated when muscles have no ability to memorise anything.?

The AD 333 was my ball of choice. One day I lost one and pulled out a Mizuno I had found. Played with that and loved it. it is now my ball of choice through the winter. Ironically I will be back playing Pro V1xs during the summer months again.

i am going to wait for the 4 for 3 sale in April I think, i have just looked and I still have 2 dozen tp5x from last year. I don’t think even I could lose those in the next few months.

If you buy the 6 dozen at once the Snells come out at £28 a dozen, so still cheaper, but I'm sure it was closer to £24 even only a year ago, so seems their price is creeping up. If it gets over £30 the saving is small compared to the option of not needing to buy in bulk and keep loads in stock, especially if you get a 10% off code or similar.

4 dozen pro v1’s come out at £27 a dozen with the 4 for 3 offer and 10% off.
