The TaylorMade TP5 will be ideal for those who like a softer feel and a bit more spin than the TP5x. However when compared to the Pro V1 it is firmer and the spin profile is similar. The Titleist ProV1 probably has the edge on control thanks to the cover and construction and it’s lower spin profile puts it closer to the firmer TP5x, so Better stopping power from higher spin on approach shots and short game shots can often mean the difference between staying on the green or rolling off it.” But of course, they are expensive. And there are some Pro V1 alternatives from companies such as Srixon, Taylormade and Bridgestone. Most ball makers these days have a fitting guide on The Pro V1x is a lower spinning ball than the Pro V1. It has less dimples 332 vs 392 on the Pro V1, thus reducing spin and drag factor. However, around the greens it might spin more because it is a four piece ball like the Nike One Tour, and the Pro V1 is a three piece ball. The Pro V1’s 2.0 ZG Process Solid Core and cast urethane cover provide a softer feel than the Pro V1x, yet firmer than the ultra-soft AVX. This core design enhances the ball’s overall distance and maintains high speed, thanks to a high-flex casing layer that reduces long game spin. The most popular ball on tour is the Pro V1, which has a compression rating of 87-90. The Pro V1x is also popular, which has a compression rating of 97-100. The Pro V1x is also popular, which has a compression rating of 97-100. The Titleist Tour Speed was better than expected, but I really do not understand why they have brought this golf ball out. They already have the Tour Soft and Velocity targeting the mid-range market and the Pro V1, V1x and AVX are catering for the premium end of the ranges so I am a little confused as to what they are trying to gain. The 2021 Pro V1 is closest to the AVX in terms of feel and has a similar lower ball flight. Pro V1 spins more than AVX with irons and around the greens. If you could find some, the Left Dot Pro V1 slots in between the AVX and the regular Pro V1 in terms of spin (more than AVX less than Pro V1) and feels slightly firmer than Pro V1. More than 45 players have teed up the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models on the PGA TOUR since their introduction – including Will Zalatoris who put new Pro V1x immediately in play to begin 2023 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, his first start on the PGA TOUR since his win at last year’s FedEx St. Jude Championship. Pro V1x - Firmer feel. Spins high around the green (almost identical to Pro V1), spins lower with longer shots. This low spin with the longer shots is very attractive to high spin, high speed players. This lower spin will make mis-hits and errant shots more manageable than with a higher spinning golf ball like Pro V1. For higher handicappers and beginners, the Kirkland Signature will perform pretty much as good as the Pro V1. The Pro V1 does have a high spin around the greens though, and its softer feel is more pleasant, especially with the putter. For really good golfers, the Pro V1x is better than the Kirkland due to a higher compression. DS1db.
