(More customer reviews)Don't let anyone tell you that playing with the right equipment doesn't make a difference in your game, because it does. Getting a set of affordable custom-fit clubs was the key for me in finally getting my index down into single digits ... along with a few lessons and some serious work, of course.
Similarly, the difference between playing a professional ball like the Titleist ProV1 and a low-cost, low-quality alternative adds up to anywhere from 1-2 strokes per round, if not more.
If playing your absolute best and posting the scores to show for it isn't worth paying a few extra dollars to you, then fine. But it is to me, even if these days I'm lucky to play once every couple weeks or so.
The real decision is whether to choose the softer, more forgiving ProV1 or the longer, less workable ProV1x. Both are professional quality ... which one is right for you depends on your game and preferences.
Although I'm past 50 years of age, height and distance have never been a problem. I've never been one to rip it 300 yards, but am consistantly in the 250-275 range when I hit it on the screws. Over the years I've learned the lesson of the "drive for show, putt for dough" mantra. Course management and short game are the secrets to going low.
Which is why I prefer the ProV1. It's plenty long for me, but the real deciding factor is the soft feel off the putter and around the green. It does spin -- in fact the first time I played it I spun back and off the green when landing pin high twice on the front nine. So it may take some getting used to at first.
The ProV1x is a fine ball if you need the extra distance. But after playing the ProV1 it does feel a little on the hard side, especially with the flat stick.
Look, 90 percent of the pros wouldn't be playing these balls if they didn't deliver for them week in and week out, and in various playing conditions. So the next morning you're handing over the credit card for green fees and a cart, toss a sleeve of both the ProV1 and ProV1x on the counter and judge for yourself.
What do you have to lose besides a few strokes (and a few extra dollars)?
Fairways and greens, my friends.

The Titleist Pro V1 represents the coalescence of three of Titleist's industry leading technologies: large solid core, multi-component construction, and high performance Urethane Elastomer cover technology. Fast initial velocity, lower spin and high launch combine to produce a flatter, less arcing ascent and straight ball flight for exceptional driver and long iron distance. The trajectory profile of the New Titleist Pro V1 generates a steep angle of descent into the green and provides Drop-and-Stop performance on approach shots.The Titleist Pro V1x delivers very low driver and iron spin combined with very high speed. The result is exceptionally long distance and a straight flight, particularly for the game's hardest hitters.
