Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x

[Deleted member 16999]

So, the new and improved Pro V1 and Pro V1x are due in the shops friday at an MRSP of £51.00 per dozen, will you be rushing out to buy them and what are you expecting to get back in relation to your game?

Not at that price and to be honest prefer the Bridgestone RX330 as my premium ball of choice. Got load of the older Pro V models left and doubt very much off 12 I'd see any difference in performance

I'm just hoping to see some deal on the older models and maybe keep an eye out for Practice stamped ones.

Any premium ball in the £25 or below bracket will have me reaching for the wallet.

A friend of mine got a test sleeve of the new pro v from titleist and he was very impressed by them.

I would never pay £51 for 12 golf balls though.

I'll be buying a load











as lake balls next year

1. Nobody will be paying £51 - that's RRP. Expect 39.99 in the shops

2. I doubt I would see any tangible difference from the previous incarnation.

3. I have so many balls kicking around I won't be buying any for a year or 2.

I will wait, and in a few weeks take dog for a walk on the course and find loads of one it wonders.

Few places doing them a £30/dozen think that's about as low as titleist will "allow".

I have 3 doz left so no need to try new ones yet but there won't be many paying £51, that's also the same RRP of existing model no price hike.

Still got five dozen of the current batch to get through. Went to the states last year so stocked up on them. I cannot see them being that much different anyway. Played with a guy yesterday and he was using one of the original models and that went alright.

Over priced and over hyped golf ball.

Over priced and over hyped golf ball.

agreed, especially for us non cat 1 players, it's literally throwing money away.

my good lady gave me two boxes of last years version for Christmas, so those will do me for the year along with the ones i have left.

I've been using any old practice balls I find in my bag for the last wee while now and can't really see they advantage of ProV1 golf balls anymore. Yeah, they look lovely but, to be honest, I'm not noticing much difference between a new one and a scabby old Srixon, Callaway, Nike or other 2nd hand premium ball.

I'm not paying more than £1.50 for a golf ball, I'm afraid, so it'll be re-rurbished, if anything.

Brave, brave comment. Most used ball on tour, so there must be a reason!

I love the Pro V1/x, however, I just can't fully justify spending £40 on a dozen. Picked up some Srixon Z-Star XV's yesterday online for £21.99...so going to try those for a little bit

 

[Banzai]

Titleist gave me 6 dozen last summer and I still have more than 5 boxes left so i don't think I need any of the new ones just yet.

The good thing about them is you sure do not want to lose them which helps

Over £4 a ball's ridiculous though isn't it?

Mrs148 paid less than £25 for last years version from the local pro, i only use a new one for a comp and then that ball gets me a least a couple of bounce games.

Most used ball, most marketed ball, the most expensive ball......... Reason, they have to get their money back somehow to fund both major tours and what better way then to get their money back by hitting the back pockets of us mere mortals...

I changed to Bridgestone 4yrs ago, my scores are similar, they fly just as far and stop just as quick and for a premier ball they cost less.

Can't beat pearl lake balls at less than £1.50 a pop!
