Which Titleist Ball Is Right For Me?
The golf ball is the only piece of equipment you use for every shot – so it pays to play with one that’s right for your game.
The Titleist Pro V1 has been the most used piece of golf equipment around the world for the last two decades. However, there are other balls in the Titleist range, so it’s worth exploring the other models.
Be sure to check out the links through to our reviews, which will help you make a decision on which Titleist ball will suit your game.
Titleist Ball Range
Titleist Pro V1 Ball
Price: £52
Key Technology:
Next Generation 2.0 ZG Process Core generates lower spin and faster ball speeds
Master hob in which the dimples are created improved
Dimple designs laser etched for better coverage and more consistency from dimple to dimple
Verdict: We’re talking very marginal gains here when comparing the old generation of Pro V1 and Pro V1x to their replacements. While many golfers will now struggle to notice a tangible difference between the performance of the two models, more players could now fit into either model, whereas before it was more common that faster swing speeds would opt for the firmer Pro V1x while the majority of players would suit the Pro V1. The only way to determine which is best for you is to try them both on a launch monitor and take them out on the course to find out which offers you the best balance of distance, feel and control
Will Suit: Designed to offer total performance for every player

Key Technology:

Titleist AVX Ball
Price: £52
Key Technology:
AVX stands for alternative to Pro V1 and Pro V1x, offering lowest spin and launch of the three as well as the softest feel
High speed, low compression core and new high flex casing layer enhances speed and controls spin to promote greater distance
GRN41 thermoset cast urethane elastomer cover delivers premium scoring control
Unique catenary aerodynamic design delivers piercing, consistently low trajectory
Verdict: For players who like a soft-feeling ball, a switch may provide added distance off the tee thanks to the lower spin and longer iron shots. Already low spin players need to consider if the lower driver flight or longer iron shots would be beneficial to them. The reduction in short game control over Pro V1 and Pro V1x is fairly limited, but it is just about noticeable, especially on chips and pitches from tight lies. Overall, a worthy alternative to Pro V1 and Pro V1x that provides a greater separation in performance
Will Suit: Players who prefer a soft feel as well as all-round, tour-level performance

Verdict: Titleist has simplified it’s mid-price ball offering and in Tour Soft, golfers have a reliable and consistent package that delivers a little bit of everything.
