The new 2015 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x models officially hit retail stores on Jan. 30 and since then, have been garnering plenty of praise from professional players and industry publications for their innovative features—collectively designed for an overall softer feel and more spin around the greens than earlier generations.

We put the top-selling, pro-favorite balls to the test and are happy to report that both 2015 models uphold the exceptionally high-quality standard that the Titleist brand has become synonymous with over its 83-year reign.

Equally impressive in terms of overall superiority, the 2015 Pro V1 and V1x golf balls vary significantly in terms of design, technology and core attributes—just as each 2015 model boasts considerable distinguishing features when compared to their respective 2013 and 2011 predecessors.

Both the Pro V1 and Pro V1x 2015 models feature an innovative, patented thermoset urethane elastomer cover—designed for long-lasting durability and improved short game performance—as well as an ionomeric casing layer. The control, sound and feel of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x 2015 golf balls give players a noticeable sense of confidence on each approach—while maintaining excellent distance with a softer cover.

In a side-by-side comparison, the Pro V1 2015 has a generally softer feel than the V1x model and also penetrates a lower launch for more roll and long game spin. The Pro V1 ball is comprised of a unique three-piece, multi-component technology with a very soft compression ZG process core and a spherically tiled 352 tetrahedral dimple design.

The Pro V1x 2015 has a firmer feel and effectively penetrates a higher launch and more long game spin than the V1 model. The Pro V1x ball is comprised of a distinctive four-piece, multi-component technology with a ZG process dual core and a spherically tiled 328 tetrahedral dimple design.

In terms of appearance: both the Pro V1 and Pro V1x 2015 models are distinguished by a gray-colored arrow marking with a split down the middle.
