The fledgling project dubbed Pro V1 (“Pro” for professional, “V” for the veneer layer of Urethane and “1” since it was the first) was put into play by nearly 50 professionals that week including eventual champion Billy Andrade. On the heels of its record-setting success, a second model – the Pro V1x – was introduced three years later in 2003. Today, roughly two-thirds of all TOUR pros tee up a Pro V1 or Pro V1x. Jordan Spieth won The Masters with Pro V1x while Rickie Fowler, Adam Scott and Henrik Stenson make hay with the Pro V1. Bubba Watson bombs a Pro V1x while Justin Thomas is a few yards behind with his Pro V1. But what about you? Which Titleist best fits your game? If the world’s best are split down the middle on Pro V1 vs. Pro V1x, whose side should you choose? Well, rest easy, the LostGolfBalls.com team is here to help; we’ve dismantled its mantle and put to rest a common misconception, all in the name of helping you pick the right pro. First thing’s first: erase from your conscience the thought that one golf ball will go further than the other. They don’t; under the same swing conditions both golf balls have been proven to travel nearly the same distance, it’s more a matter of how they get there. ![blog-image---pro-v1.png](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blog-image---pro-v1.png?width=600&height=300&name=blog-image---pro-v1.png "blog-image---pro-v1.png")*  Image Source: https://twitter.com/selina0403* Which brings us to the next point: ball flight. This is perhaps the biggest differences between the two golf balls.  The Pro V1 is designed to produce a more penetrating ball flight and descends at a shallower angle ultimately leading to more roll. The Pro V1x on the other hand launches higher and falls out of the air at much steeper angles of attack. So the decision here is do you prefer more roll (Pro V1) or carry (Pro V1x) distance? Next up is spin generation. How many times have you heard the phrase it’s what’s on the inside that counts? First, tell your mom she’s right. Second, the Pro V1’s and Pro V1x’s composition does make a bit of difference. The Pro V1 is a three-piece golf ball designed to spin more on longer shots while the Pro V1x is a four-piece construction whose added layer is engineered to improve driver distance carry without sacrificing spin on mid-irons or shots around the green. Finally there’s the feel factor. If you prefer a softer golf ball go for the Pro V1; if you like a little more pop pick up the Pro V1x. Ultimately there’s no wrong choice; both golf balls are packed with nearly two decades of research, development and testing to help you play your best golf. And with both priced at [half the cost as new](http://www.lostgolfballs.com/pro-v1.html) (you won’t find that anywhere else!), picking a side has never been easier. So give the [Pro V1](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/pro-v1.html) and [Pro V1x](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/pro-v1.html) a try while they're on sale and find out why a majority of pros on the PGA TOUR put the Title in Titleist.

His win in the FedEx St. Jude Championship was only his second of the season. In recent years, he’s won several tournaments in a season, including six last year, and eight the year before, nine if you include the Olympics. And that’s the thing: we expect Scheffler to dominate. It was considered a slump that he had gone 16 tournaments without a win after opening the season with a victory. - [Perry Lefko](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/author/perry-lefko) - 5 min read - 18 Aug,2026 ## [McIlroy Creates News Playing in the FedEx St. Jude Classic](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/mcilroy-creates-news-playing-in-the-fedex-st.-jude-classic) It seems hard to believe that this year’s PGA Tour season is down to the final three events. The top-70 players who qualified for the FedEx St. Jude Championship will tee off Thursday and, unlike last year when he skipped the tournament, Rory McIlroy (TaylorMade TP5) is in the field. He is 12th overall in FedExCup points, so he could technically take a pass again this year. In fact, he could also skip next week’s BMW Championship and still qualify for the Tour Championship. - [Perry Lefko](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/author/perry-lefko) - 6 min read - 13 Aug,2026 ## [The Yellow Baller Makes History](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/the-yellow-baller-makes-history) Remember when colored balls were the rage in golf? Well, they just may make a comeback. When Shiho Kuwaki (Bridgestone Tour B X) won the AIG Women’s Open – also known as the British Open – it was her first career win on the LPGA Tour. That it happened in a major made it extra sweet. She also became the first player to win a major with a colored ball. - [Perry Lefko](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/author/perry-lefko) - 6 min read - 06 Aug,2026 ### Subscribe to Email Updates [![](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3842749/Logo/Growth_-logo.svg)](https://palmspire-3842749.hs-sites.com/growth-home-1) We help companies and marketers save time and generate more leads via drag and drop HubSpot COS conversion focussed templates. ##### Features ##### About Us ##### Company © Copyright 2017-18 SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER - - - - - About Us - [LGB Story](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/aboutus) - [Press Room](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/pressroom) - [Why Used](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/whyused) Support - [Contact Us](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/contacts) - [Shipping Policy](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/shipping) - [Return Policy](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/returns) - [FAQs](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/faqs) Explore - [Best Ball For You](https://info.lostgolfballs.com/whats-the-best-ball-for-you) - [Blog](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/) - [Golf Tips](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golftips) - [Grading Scale](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/gradingscale) Wholesale - [Selling Golf Balls](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/We-Buy) - [Bulk Orders](https://info.lostgolfballs.com/wholesale-golf-balls-lostgolfballs) - [School Orders](https://info.lostgolfballs.com/school-orders) Browse - [ProV1/ProV1x](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/pro-v1.html) - [Titleist](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/titleist.html) - [Bridgestone](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/bridgestone.html) - [Callaway](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/callaway.html) - [Nike](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/nike.html) - [Srixon](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/srixon.html) - [Taylormade](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/brands/taylormade.html) - [Refinished](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-balls/quality/refinished.html) - [Deals](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/deals.html) - [Accessories](https://www.lostgolfballs.com/golf-accessories.html) Copyright © 2020 www.Lostgolfballs.com • All Rights Reserved. - [Terms And Conditions](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/termsandconditions) - [Privacy Policy](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/privacy-policy) - [Ad And Cookie Policy](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/ad-and-cookie-policy) - [Sitemap](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/catalog/seo_sitemap/category) California: - [Your Privacy Rights](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/privacy-policy#ccpa) - [Do Not Sell My Info](https://blog.lostgolfballs.com/do-not-sell-my-info) ![](https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/1056616003/?value=0&guid=ON&script=0)
