What's the difference between Pro V1 and Pro V1x ?

Anyone know?

Thanks

Pro V1 = 3 piece
Pro V1x = 4 piece

Pro V1 = 3 piece
Pro V1x = 4 piece

V1X spins less and goes further, so more distance but a bit less grippy on the greens

Look on the website, or try the two out.

To an average golfer?

Not a lot at all in real terms.

 

[RGDave]

Watch out Ian, we might get the same treatment....

The difference (and yes, I've played both) is that the V1X is not very good for anyone with regular-bloke swing speed.

One wonders, when there is a link not 10 cm to the right of this post - - - - - - >>>>>>>>>>>
why anyone needs to ask.

Average golfers who play Pro v1's are just wasting money. My pro advised me that unless you are a 5 hcp or below you won't get any advantage,he's never tried to sell me a ball yet so he has no reason to tell porkies.

What's the difference between Pro V1 and Pro V1x ?

About £12.00 a dozen

V1X for much harder hitters and by that I mean tour standard down to low single figures where they hit the ball firmly enought to compress it properly and get maximum benefits in terms of distance and spin.

The Pro V is ok for most low to mid handicappers as it isn't so reliant on a fast swing and powerful strike. The new 2009 model is very good and a definite improvement although there are other premium balls out there that will do a similar job for less money

Eerrmmm....

I know that I for one would not necessarily know the difference apart from the pound in my pocket - not that I would necessarily buy either ball you understand ....

 

[berrymoss]

Thanks for that everyone

I use the v1x as opposed to v1 purely because i want to take a little spin off the ball. The v1 for me personally can have too much spin at times

I won a dozen ProV1's in a comp last year...............they're still in the box, never used them. I daren't to be honest in case I lose them. I do have some new PTS Carry's in my bag however, but am slowly using up my TopFlites before I get to them.

To me, I wouldn't know the difference between any of them. Just expensive golf balls!

You send me the pro v's and i'll send you some pts carrys

Titleist's figures for the difference between the old and new V1x indicate who that is aimed at,

new is longer; +3 yds at 175 mph ball speed, +1 yd at 160

if you're not in that ballpark forget it.

175 mph....gosh, that is seriously quick then.

Saw some fake ProV's the other week. Someone had gotten them off eBay and they were given out as prizes in a society match - rock hard they were... more like Topflites with the name changed.

The price of golfballs has escalated so much there's certainly going to be a market for fakes.

I can't understand having them and not using them. Sell them or use them. Don't just keep them.

IMO, not alot. Just another way for them to make money. Talking about spin, jezzzz do you guys get that much spin or have I loged into the European tour forum!
I also like the NXT's of those other "harder" balls.
I dont think it really matters too much to us hackers.
