The Titleist debate is on! Golfers all across the world are weighing in on their experiences with the Titleist PRO VI versus the Titleist PRO V1X. Both balls continue to follow the path of great manufacturing by Titleist. Both are produced with terrific quality, consistent in its form and balance and provides reliable performance. For the Titleist PRO VI1 Titleist has included a new cover formulation on the ball making for more durability. It still holds up well in maintaining extraordinary spin when used on iron shots. Specifically, the improved urethane elastomer cover that Titleist has on this ball helps it to resist scuffing, even better than previous models. One thing is the same–for either o these balls–the pricing. The cost of these balls are in line with its Tour ball quality and you’re not likely to find either of them heavily discounted.
The Pro V1 is a favorite of amateur and pro golfers across the world. The ball has a softer feel and helps you gain more distance and the softer core comes into effect by generating less spin off of the driver. The ZG process core technology is responsible for this. Strike after strike the durability of the ball will keep its shape. It’s been said that more than 3,000 professional tour players have a Pro V1 on the course with them.
Golfers who play the 2014 Titleist Pro V1 will find it is a three-piece solid-core golf ball, currently sporting a 352 dimple pattern. The four-piece solid core of the Pro V1X is a golf ball that currently has 328 dimples.
What’s the difference? Some may ask. Well, particularly, dimples do matter, because the more dimples a golf ball has, the more opportunity it has to interact with the air through which it soars. In addition, dimples produce lift, which helps a ball fly higher, something that makes you love this game and this ball.
Close-up, the Pro V1 sports the higher dimple count and inside the ball, the three-piece technology is what causes it to have a softer feel off the club face. The softer feel helps to give the ball more spin and a consistently higher flight, as opposed to the he Pro V1X.
The Pro V1X take things a little bit further. It has a four-piece construction and fewer dimples. This is what gives the ball: a harder feel, a lower spin rate, and a flatter trajectory. Seasoned golfers will find that it is this feel and spin rate which help when you wish to have more control of your 8 iron. The Pro V1X will definitely work word to check and stop this iron. But, beware, it can just as well negatively negatively impact your game, too. Why is this? Well, because having too much spin can cause a “ballooning’ effect and you could lose distance on every shot. This distance loss is a response to the excessive spin of the ball. So you see, that this is exactly what the Pro V1x helps reduce for you.
Confusesd? Well, don’t be. Titleist has engineered the ProV1X to deter excessive spin and reduce higher swing speeds. Yes, the Pro V1X has fewer dimples, and it is engineered for golfers who have a swing speed above 105 mph. It also works well for golfers who imparts more spin and has a higher ball trajectory because of their swing path and the energy released during impact. Please, if you are not at this level of swing speed, remember that the V1X can hinder (and not help) your game. This ball will not produce the correct trampoline effect that you need upon the moment of impact between your club face and the golf ball.
Golfers of every skill level have a different game, and selecting the correct ball can be as challenging as your rounds. However, playing with a ball that is specifically engineered and designed for professional tour-level golfers may not be the right ball for you.
