Pro V1 vs. Pro V1x — which should I choose?

Pro V1 = mid flight, very low long‑game spin, softer feel. Pro V1x = higher flight, a touch more iron spin, and firmer feel. Choose based on the launch you want and your need for approach spin.

Which tour ball suits sub‑100 mph swing speeds?

If firmer tour balls feel harsh, try softer‑feeling models (Pro V1 vs TP5 vs Z‑STAR). For <95 mph, mid‑price urethane balls can also compress more easily.

How to Choose in 2025

Launch preference: higher flight → Pro V1x, TP5x; lower/mid → Pro V1, TP5.
Driver spin: firmer “X” variants and certain cores typically reduce long‑game spin.
Wind stability: dense dimple patterns (e.g., 388/348 Titleist, Tour Flight TM, 338 Srixon) help hold line.
