None Have not read the Pro V1 reviews for sometime now. But should have, good for a laugh whether you think there great or terrible. First off people which gained 20 to 30 yards in distance must have received a free weeks worth of lessons with their purchase. Come on! most people are not this studpid. Believe what you want the Pro V1 is a good ball, but great, nah! The durability is wonderful, no doubt. The length is good no doubt. Spin rate is not up to par with short irons. However Titleist realizes this and has the prototypes out there now according to GolfWeek. Looking foward to trying those. As most know Precept makes the Nike balls. The Tour Premium is the same ball as the Tour Accuracy. The Premium is a great spinning ball, distance is equal to the Pro V1, however the durability is somewhat subject. So you pay less but get less play time with each ball compared to the Pro V1. Again leads me to "Can''t wait to try the Pro V1 Diamond". Fianl thoughts some make it sound like the current Pro V1 was sent from above, not true. Good but not great. Those who play the Precept/Nike be honest the durability is not very good, and I for one am looking to get Feel, Spin, and Distance finally all in one. The Revolution probably was the closets to prefection yet. If the Pro V1 gets to spinning better it maybe be the "Perfect One". No matter though, you pay for what you get. Balls are expensive no matter your choice. I belive Maxfli and Titleist should put the Old Rev & Pro V1 together and you would have true prefection.

None Great Ball. Noticeably longer off the tee than any ball I''ve ever tried. Most people who don''t like it, tried it and had a terrible round with it, so they blame it on the ball. Well, if you can hit a good ball, the Pro V1 will allow you to hit it longer. If you''re pretty accurate in your shot making, the Pro V1 will enable you to go at the pin more. Really nice feel. Why do you think so many on the PGA tour hit it now? If you have a good swing and hit a fairly long ball, this ball will give you more confidence, and will allow you to hit driver or 3-wood, then wedge into the green on nearly all par 4s.

None
Weakness:
None A really soft ball, but still great distance off the driver and irons. putting takes a little getting use to, but the soft feel and distance the ball achieves easily makes this the best in the market today. Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
None
Weakness:
None This ball felt good around the greens with puts providing more feel. Iron shots had a little more direction. Drivers were straight and true but distance was slightly down by 5 to 10 metres compared to my Top Flight XL2000 Super Titanium. Titanium hitting a titanium ball does produce a nicer sound but I bought the Titlelist purely for putting purposes without loosing heavy on distance and it appears to have done the job. Still a little expensive for what the product is. Similar Products Used: None |

None First off, Titleist might of pulled off the best advertisement in the business. They had every golfer in the game including 50+ handicappers to the scratch player flocking in pro shops and stores drooling for their ball. The fact of the matter golfers believed they where gonna hit this ball farther than their Top Flite XL Distance ball, and sadly were disappointed. Their fade was now a slice and they lost about 10 yards. Now, the good player was trying to figure out how to stop these balls with an 8 iron. And the next stumper was, why does one half wedge go 50 yards and the next go 80 yards. And why does one stop on a dime, and the next release off the green. One could not answer that question, but a bit of advice---That''s why more than a dozen tour players have left that ball this summer. Bottom line, if you want to use the best ball in the industry buy yourself a sleeve of the Nike Tour Accuracy. If you don''t believe me try them head to head. I use to be a die hard Titleist man, but times have changed. The only knock on the Nike is it doesn''t hold up well. If you want that ball that holds up like a rock, buy the Top-Flite. The only thing, the Top-Flite plays like a rock. Bottom line golf balls are getting way to EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!! Similar Products Used: Titleist Tour Prestige, Nike Tour Accuracy, Maxfli Revolution |

Weakness:
None This ball is very long but is very difficult to control. Plays like a distance ball, flies low with very little spin but it is impossible to stop it close with anything greater than a wedge. Will stick with Nike Tour Accuracy Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
None
Weakness:
None the pro v1 is a great golf ball. it is very long, compared to previous high-end titleist golf balls like the professional. it is not longer than all the distance balls. it also is just right in softness. if you are familiar with the callaway red and blue rule 35, it is right in between them in cover hardness. it is also the most durable high-end golf ball on the market. they are usable for 2-3 rounds each. overall a wonderfull golf ball.

None A BALL THAT IS DEFINITELY OVER-EXAGERATED!!! PERIOD!!! I SHOOT CONSISTANTLY IN THE LOW 80''S AND LET ME TELL YOU THE MAXFLI REVOLUTION AND THE ELITE ARE MUCH BETTER. THEY ARE SOFTER AND MUCH MORE WORKABLE. THE PRO-V IS HARD AND DOES NOT HOLD THE GREENS AS WELL AS THE ELITE. A WASTE OF MONEY IN MY EYES. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE ELITE AND REVOLUTION. CAN''T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE A-10 Similar Products Used: None |

None J-boy, you must just suck and need some lessons. This ball is awesome. I had heard that the Callaway Red Rule 35 was the same ball. I have used both and played many tournaments and the Pro V1 is much more durable. Most of the guys that I play with are using this ball and some of them are trying to make a living with it and are not being paid to play it. Enough said..........
