Perks and Particulars of the 2015 Titleist Pro V1 & Pro V1x

Prov1-prov1x-image

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.

At a Glance: The 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x

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.

In Comparison: The Pro V1/V1x 2013/2014 Model

Titleist’s 2013/2014 Pro V1 and Pro V1x models all feature Tour-validated technology and performance, designed for increased spin control and a more consistent flight. The Pro V1 and Pro V1x, alike, have an improved A.I.M. (Alignment Integrated Marking) side stamp. Both the Pro V1 and Pro V1x 2013/2014 models are identical—all distinguishable in appearance by a solid, gray-colored arrow marking.

The Pro V1 2013/2014 is a three-piece golf ball, designed for players with swing speeds from 98 to 105 mph. The Pro V1 has a softer feel around the green, more spin on shorter shots and a penetrating trajectory. It features a spherically tiled 352 dimple design.

Should Equipment Changes Be Made Public in PGA Tour Events?

Should equipment changes be noted publicly before a player tees it up in a PGA Tour event? While that may sound crazy, it is common practice in horse racing. Some bettors want all the information they can get. With gambling now a big part of sports, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea. Already this year we saw Collin Morikawa (TaylorMade TP5x) winning an event with a putter borrowed from another player. Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X with Mindset) won two tournaments this year after changing ball. And remember when Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) went on a tear changing to a blade putter to a mallet putter?

Genesis Invitational Gives Us The Reality Of Sports

I’ve written this before and I’m repeating it because it never ceases to amaze me how televised sports is the ultimate reality show, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, as the now-defunct ABC Wild Word of Sports used as its intro. On the final hole of the Pebble Beach Open, Jacob Bridgeman (TaylorMade TP5x) was hitting a shot off of pebbles on the beach on the 18th hole. His ball ended up in the ocean and resulted in a bogey, tying him for eighth place when he was close enough starting the hole for a much better finish. I thought his spirits were crushed and dismissed him for the Genesis Invitational. So what does he do? Goes on a tear and headed into the final day, chasing a tournament record score. But he nearly frittered away the win, coming undone on the back half of the back nine and eking out a single stroke victory, and only because he parred a four-foot putt that must have seemed much longer because of the pressure. That’s drama, real drama, not manufactured reality. He won the event for the first time in his 66th tournament on the PGA Tour and only 65 days after marrying.

It's Time To Talk About Tiger Woods Again

Some thoughts on the world of golf with the Masters less than eight weeks away: When Tiger Woods (Bridgestone Tour B XS) speaks, we all listen. As the host of the Genesis Invitational this week, Woods held his annual address about his health, career, playing in the Masters and the PGA Tour at large. Woods is gradually returning to swinging his clubs from his latest back surgery last fall, which naturally had reporters asking him about his playing status. He did not specify when he will return to playing again, yet he tersely and emphatically did not rule out playing in the Masters. “No,” he said. Woods has always tried to play in the Masters, no matter his physical condition.
