Advantages: Good Distance & Spin

Disadvantages: Expensive

For years now, the Titleist 'Pro V1' has been the worlds most sought after golf ball. Used by the majority of pro's due to it's great spin rate and soft feel, the product is expensive to buy.

A lot of amateurs avoid using the Pro V1, as a pack of twelve can cost over £30. It's depressing seeing one of these little beauties sailing into a lake, when it's your finances as well as your pride which is at stake!

These days, the Pro V1 has a little brother - the 'Pro V1X', a similar ball which has been customised to suit different swing types.

The characteristics of the Pro V1X means that the ball will travel further, and spin less on the greens. Golfers with high swing speeds will be especially suited to this ball.

Apparently the secret of this products success is in the "high-compression dual core in a speed-enhancing and spin-controlling ionomer casing and a soft, thin Urethane Elastomer cover. It has 332 dimples (60 fewer than the Pro V1), designed to aid a more penetrating ball flight".

I played a couple of rounds with a Pro V1X, and until I lost it I was fairly impressed. I did notice a distance increase from the standard Pro V1, but it wasn't a huge difference. The ball still grips the greens nicely, and the spin rate hasn't dramatically been decreased.

All in all, it's a very nice golfball. However, I won't be using these in future as I can't really afford them. A dozen will cost £32.99 - which is a bit much when I will probably lose the majority of them in 5 or 6 rounds time.

Apart from the price, highly recommended.
