Having not played Titleist for a while, it was interesting to see the difference in the current ProV lineup compared with the version of a few years ago. I tried them at Castle Stuart recently.
I found that the ProV1 had a physics defying propensity to take off at a 45° angle and head towards the beach. Now this may have been due to the fact that the ball was in need of fresh air and a little water as it had been locked up in a box for a long time. However, this destructive action did not go down too well with me. I thought it may have been my own swing flaw resurfacing, but obviously it was the ball.
Having allowed the ProV1s' the chance to swim to the black isle, I tried out the ProV1Xs'. They also liked to try and get to the waters edge. When heading along the 5th hole, the ball dived quickly off the tee to the left. Again, the thought that I may have inadvertantly snap hooked the ball did cross my mind. Having located the ball in question, it was obvious that this too had a great desire to visit the sea shore. It tried again a couple of holes later !
So there you have it, ProV1s' like to go off to the right and ProV1Xs like to go off to the left.
Must be a serious design flaw in these balls, their older counterparts didn't behave like that

Not exactly excited about this, as I use ProV1s anyway in the main. I also find the 1x a bit firm. I don't think there are going to be any suprises here. Just 4 free balls, and a survey.

Cheers Homer, I did notice the post van as I was leaving for work this morning - guess it will be a trip to the post office at the weekend.

I got given two of each at Castle Stuart by the Titleist guy.
Hit my Srixon AD333 into the trees on the 13th at Hever on Sunday so put a brand new ProV1X down as my provisional.
Clattered it straight into the middle of a lake.
They're useless

Sure it wasn't a puddle. To get in the middle of a lake would take a bigger hit than you give it.

It was right at the front of the lake.
About 140 carry with the driver. About the limit of my range but I made it

Having just made the switch to Prov1's from srixon I am amazed at how much better these balls perform. There not the most popular ball on tour by chance!
I had seen other people spin these balls but never really got on with them. Never really been impressed with the new Srixon range since they swapped from Z-URS to STAR I put Titleist in the bag, Now I am holding more greens than before! just!

My first experience of a Pro V1:
Found it in the rough so put it into play.
3 Wood from the tee found the fairway
9 iron to the edge of the green
Putt into the centre of the cup for my first ever birdie.
Next hole took 3 wood from the tee again. Biggest slice I have ever hit to this day and it disappeared into a farmers feild never to be seen again.
hey-ho!
