Titleist Pro V1 vs. Pro V1x

Question

I want to know which ball spins more off your short irons and wedges. I can back spin pretty much 6 iron and lower on my aproch shots, and i have pretty good distance. So i want to be able to really spin my shots, would the pro v1 or the pro v1x be better for that. And which on goes farther, I'm not as concered about distance, but i would just like to know on the side. I shoot about 80 on a par 72 (70.8 rating 126 slope). I have an 11.8 handicap.

Answer 1

ProV1x goes further and ProV1 will spin more.  BUT to get maximum distance from the ProV1x, your swing speed will need to be a least 103 miles P/hour.

That doesn't mean you can't use it but that's the facts.

I'd say go with ProV1.

Good luck with your golf!

Answer 2

Titleist say that the Pro V1x spins more and is longer off the tee.

Answer 3

if you buy the hype....the prov1x is a longer ball.......and the Prov1 will spin more.

Answer 4

ProV1 spins MORE than the X.....

On irons you will not be able to tell alot of difference both spin very well.

The X is for golfers who produce a lot of spin with the driver! My brother-in-law is a pro he hits the ProV1 20+ yards farther than the ProV1x because he does not produce a lot of spin off the tee, I hit the ProV1x 20+ yards farther because I produce alot of spin with a driver.

Go to a shop where they can measure the spin you produce, both balls may be the same for you, and if so I would use the reg ProV1 because it has a lil softer feel.

You want to have 2800 to 3000 revolutions.

Answer 5

The v1x is for higher swing speeds.. lets say if you swing a driver past 105 consistant choose the X.

The v1 is for typical golfers around driver speeds of 85-95 or so. They will spin more producing higher ball flights=greater distance and all the spin creating the higher ball flight will help you stick those irons aswell!

Have fun!
