The new Titleist Pro V1x golf ball is designed to deliver longer distance, even more greenside spin and control and softer feel. Below is my experience and review of the ball.

Titleist PRO V1x Review
I have only been playing golf on a regular basis about 6 months. I usually get to work on my game at least one time a week. In the 6 months I have been playing, I have gone from a very high-handicapper down to a mid-handicapper. Each week I try to test a different golf ball in an effort of finding the best golf ball for me. This past week I took out the Titleist Pro V1x for the first time. I had heard so much about this ball and I couldn’t wait to get it out on the course. I must say that this ball lives up to its reputation. My very first drive off the tee was longer and straighter than any I have hit from that Tee Box. My best drive however was off of the 17th Tee. A 321 yard par 4, I hit it to within 30 yards of the green! Not that it really matters, but I am 59, turning 60 in 2 months. I am not going to tell you how I finished that hole, but the drive was beautiful! I have Really got to work on my short game.
Research Results:
It has been two years from the last set of updates, and now Titleist has come to market with a new version of the hugely popular Pro V1x for 2023. Aimed at those in search of a higher flight and more spin with a slightly firmer feel than the Pro V1, the latest Pro V1x has already been seen out on Tour. In fact, Will Zalatoris stated that his decision to switch into it as, “a no brainer”.
The main upgrade in the Pro V1x comes from a new high gradient ‘Dual-Core’ construction. From outside to inside, the center of the ball gets progressively softer. In the Pro V1x there is an inner core which has been made 44% bigger. The engineers at Titleist say these features work to reduce spin in the long game, which helps increase speed, and provide a more stable flight.
Final Comment:
There is no doubt that finding the best golf ball for your game can make a significant difference to your scoring. Of the two Pro V1 golf balls, the x version is designed to be the higher flying and spinning model. If your long game spin is under control, this can help you find a better flight, and more stopping power when hitting into the greens. The Pro V1x should also feel a little firmer as well.
So far the Pro V1x is the best golf ball for me. Hope to be trying the Titleist Pro V1 next.
See you on the green,
