My club gave me 2 sleeves of the 2013 V1X's to test today so I also thought I would shed some light here since this site is so helpful.

Off the tee with the driver this ball gets all the distance of any of the hottest balls available. This ball is driven towards the pro's of coarse but a decent ball striker will find that he or she will get optimum flight and roll out of a straight shot or baby draw. Fades are also easy to hit with these balls and are easier than Pro V1's to keep from slicing. Fading this ball will cause you to loose more yards than other balls but I enjoyed because it didn't turn into a duck or hard slice, just a big high power fade. All the same with fairway woods and hybrids. High penetrating ball that turns over just perfect with a draw or if fading lands ever so softly and stays put.

Approach shots is where this ball excels. Absolutely wonderful feel. Hit down on this ball and it flies high and sticks on a dime. A mid handicapper should be able to park this ball and or back it up at will with their short irons. I did find that I was about 5-7 yards shorter on my 7-SW. 3-6 irons were the same as my normal ball except for the incredible spin with the V1X's. Ball is super easy to work right to left without the worry of hitting the duck hook with long irons.

Chipping and pitching was incredible. Pitch the ball a few feet short of the hole and it will bounce once and check up every single time. Very very very consistent on and around the greens. This is by far the easiest ball to spin around the greens I've ever played. Didn't say it was the best but just the easiest...

Speed on the greens are fantastic. Ball doesn't hop unless you chop it and as long as you line up fairly decent feedback is spot on every single time. I actually enjoyed putting with is ball.

The only complaint I had with this ball is it is the worst ball ever for durability. Every full short iron shot would cut the crap out of the cover. About. 4 or 5 good holes was all I was getting out of them. By the 5th hole the ball looked like it had been played 36 holes. It just tears all to pieces when compressed hard. Hopefully Titleist will come out with another version in a few months than can actually hold up to beng played aggressively. If they do this I would have no hard feelings at all paying $50 a dozen.

Pros: Long off the tee with loads of run out. Approach shots penetrate the wind well and stop on a dime. Chipping and putting this ball is the best I've played. You don't have to be on the PGA tour to better your game with this ball. If you are a decent ball striker or just a consistent one you will lower your scores with this ball. Crazy Crazy Crazy spin.

Cons: Cover is just too soft for me. A few holes and it is cut all to pieces. Ball is all performance and zero durability....

The pro v1x golf ball is one of the best golf balls I have ever used. The golf ball provides tremendous back spin,and distance. It does depend on what golf club you use because I use a Nike spin velocity and that creates back spin and that also helps.

This ball is the only ball that any golfer should be touching. I know the other companys competing to make the best ball in golf, but they simply do not come close to the quality, time, technology, & science Of the ProV1x. Sometimes I will use the V1, but it doesnt have the command and control like the V1x has, due to the more spin-designed dimple pattern. Alot of todays amateurs dont know how to put consistent spin , or dont put any spin on their ball whatsoever. If you put intentional spin on every shot, and like to shape your spin shots, then the ProV1 is your ball. Now if you're like me and like to completely control the amount of backspin/spin on your ball & like to hit draws, fades, & shape your shots on all shots, then the LOW-SPIN ProV1x is perfect foe you!

I find this ball goes 10 yards shorter than the earlier ProV1X. I hit the older ball about 205 yards--the new one 195. I am 81 years old and a good golfer.

Clearly one of the best balls in the industry, 3-piece technology as good as it gets. Good distance off the tee, good control around the green. Feels nice though impact. If your using older clubs with U grooves on irons and wedges, be careful. They will shred the outside of the ball. My wedges scuff this outside up rather easily. For the new rule V grooves it is not as rough on the ball but may still be a problem for you.

I'm a 60 year old scratch golfer and I have a few things to get off my chest concerning Titleist. I see the new 2011s are out. Is Titleist now going to release a new golfball every year like they do with the clubs? These, no doubt, are designed around the use of v-grooved irons, and if struck with a square-grooved iron, they will shred, just like the previous models.
Titleist, nor anyone else, in my opinion, has ever made a ball longer than the original 332. If you're old enough, you remember the controversy soon after its release. It was retarded long and straight and extremely durable. However you had to adjust your game around the green because they were rock hard and were difficult to spin around the green. I was eager to try the new and improved 2008. That ball sucked. It was shorter off the tee than before, but it did spin a little better around the green. The trade off, however, for that spin was durability. 2 or 3 hard wedges, and the ball was too messed up to play, and if you hit a tree or cartpath, the ball was toast. The same can be said for the more recent ProV1X reincarnations--if you insist on playing with an undamaged ball, you have to pull out a new ball every 2 or 3 holes. Another complaint I have concerning durability (some would call obsolescence by design) is the tanning. I play at 7500 feet and a new ball will show tanning after 9 holes, if it makes it that long without becoming a FUBAR. I understand its the reaction of urethane to UV. For $50+ a dozen, they can't add some type of sunblock to the cover? No doubt Titleist makes the best ball in golf--the pros play them, but they don't pay for them. Because they are now playing v-grooved irons, they require a very soft cover. But for those of us that are still using square grooves, the new balls are a ball-a-hole wonders. I am not going to trade in my square-grooved Hogan Apex irons so as not to tear up my golf ball. I will be playing my Hogans long after they become illegal, and I have even insisted that I be buried with them. I have played Titlest balls for 2 decades, and the 2010 ProV1X since it came out, but I'm now determined to find a different ball. I want 18+ holes out of my ball, not 3. I found some original 332s on ebay. I guess this old-schooler needs an old-school ball to use with his old-school clubs.

The Pro V1X ball definitely has distance. It's also pretty decent around the green. Felt good chipping and putting. After a few long wedge shots though the balls had deep scratches in them. These are good balls, but I'm afraid my pockets are not deep enough to replace them at this rate.

the usual suspects

Just played 18 with this ball and I love it!! Great distance off the tee and nice spin around the greens. You DO NOT need to have a swing speed of 100+ to play this ball. I have consistent speed of 90-95mph and knocking it 260yds or more. This is a great ball to have in your bag but its a little pricey. I found a website that sells them for $23 with 5A rating which is like finding a ball in the woods that was hit only once. I am hooked.

None really, first time using a 4 piece ball.

I don't lack for distance, but for some reason, I've always preferred lower-compression balls that feel soft off the irons. This summer, though, on a whim, I picked up a sleeve of the new Pro V1x. In the past, the only time I played the x model was when I found one in the woods, and to me, they felt like rocks -- so much so, in fact, that it got to the point that I'd give them away if I found them.

Well, forget all that. My swing has undergone some recent changes, and I'm compressing the ball better now, but I also think this ball has undergone some changes, because I absolutely bomb this thing. It's a solid 20 yds longer than anything else I can put on a tee, and it's a club longer off my irons, as well. Off the putter and wedges, though, it still has that great Pro V1 feel, and it stops the way it should on the short chips and pitches.

Is it worth $45 a dozen? Probably not. But the damn thing is head and shoulders better than any other ball I've tried right now, and I've tried a lot. If you're a decent ball striker and hit your driver an honest 250+ yds, I'd recommend that you give this ball a try. Stepping up to your drive on a long par 5, checking your yardages, and realizing, "Hey, I can get home in two from here" -- well, it doesn't take long to get used to that at all.

a lot of hacks complain about the price of this ball and is the reason they won't play it,hell you'll spend that much on a decent meal taking out the old lady to dinner, and end up crapping it out anyway!i'am a hack and see no distance lost by using this ball and has a nice feel around the greens that will help your short game.if you can get a month or two out of a dozen of these.it's well worth your money and your game.
