I can’t get more than 18 holes out of these balls without them looking dreadful and scraped up. Well actually it was looking rubbish after 12.
Bit disappointing

Seem as durable as any other ball I have used

I'm not a fan of the "x", prefer the v1 or avx.
However, anytime I've used them, durability has not been an issue.

No issues for me and that’s the ball I’m using at the moment.

Usually get 2 or 3 rounds out of one before any real damage...
I find Z-Stars to be poor.....

That's why thrifty players play Surlyn covers instead or urethane.
If you think urethane is bad,
you don't remember natural balata on the old WOUND premium golf balls.
Years ago, I played in a pitch-and putt course league. The little course was near where we worked.
We'd all have wedges, the grooves of which were sharpened, gouged, actually, far beyond anything conforming.
To offset spinning the balls completely back off the little greens, we'd play rock hard Spalding Top Flite balls which the non-conforming wedges had no problem spinning.
Even those Surlyn covers got torn to shreds.

Change them every hole, I don't want to waste shots with a dirty ball.

Have you used a grove sharpener on your irons / wedges ?Must be me then ..

Lad at ours did and it really messed the balls up very quickly.

Used to use titleist balata 100 compression because of the excessive spin on the 90s.

No sharpener, the wedges are sm6 so old, the irons are Ping i15 ..
I wonder if the bunker sand is a bit to blame as well.

I started playing Titleist balls when they STOPPED making wound balls.
I would have loved to have seen what the old British size 1.62" ball would have done in the solid ball era.
The R&A should never have accepted USGA's input on their rules.
That was the CORRECT ball for links play.

My golf days would certainly be over if I had to walk.
I have two walking routes.
Recliner to refrigerator.
Recliner to loo, as I believe you say it.

Yes heavy sand is a killer.
But that would only affect the strike area.
Maybe your standards are higher than most.

I don’t usually game them, but I won a box and they seem ok.

I have never had a problem with them. One of the plus points for Provs has been their durability compared to other makes.
Were they bought from a legit source?

Been using the left dash this year and haven’t noticed an issue. I’ve played multiple rounds with the same ball (last one lasted 54 holes) and they still look fine by the time I lose them.

Left dash??? Are you a high swing speed golfer? One of my mates is and swears by them.
I tried them, not for me, just like the v1x.
