Advantages: Performance, feel, durability

Disadvantages: Price

The ProV1 ball has been the most popular ball in sales and tour usage almost since its launch. The ball is undoubtedly a premium ball, and performs how you would expect. Titleist is the first name anyone thinks of when considering golf balls, despite the options available, from brands such as Srixon, Bridgestone, Nike and Callaway amongst others. With Pro V1 balls selling for around £35/dozen, they are priced near the top of the market, with possibly just Callaway balls selling for more. Recently Titleist have encountered some legal trouble regarding the Pro V1 with patent violations and lawsuits from Callaway and Bridgestone. As far as I know the Callaway one is ongoing, and the Bridgestone was settled out of court. I personally use the Pro V1X, as I get a very good deal on them, however if I was paying retail prices, I would probably use either the Bridgestone B330 Tour, or the Srixon Z-URC. Overall the Titleist is a consistent ball, and is a solid performer and is re;atively durable, compared to Nike, for example, which shreds too easily. The Pro V1 is the standard ball, with the Pro V1X designed for higher spin players, however I would suggest trying both and choosing your favourite, as touch and feel is such an important factor in ball choice.
