New Pro V1 and Pro V1X launch news


P


ro V1 and Pro V1x (which were launched in 2003) have been the most played golf balls at every level of competitive golf and the best-selling models


around the world. The new 2015 Titleist


Pro V1 and Pro V1x models are the result of a continuous process rooted in rigorous research and development, technological advancements, comprehensive player testing and validation, and precision manufacturing. Designed for all golfers seeking to shoot lower scores, 2015 Pro V1


and Pro V1x deliver distance with consistent flight, more short game control and even softer feel from a new, patented urethane elastomer cover formulation, and long lasting durability. Comparatively, Pro V1 has a softer feel, slightly more long game spin and a penetrating trajectory for a shallower angle of descent for more roll. Pro V1x offers a slightly firmer feel, lower long game spin and launches higher with a steeper angle of descent.

providing the best combination of distance, flight, short-game scoring control and feel – makes them the best fit for any golfer. “Golfers often ask us


what sets Pro V1 and Pro V1x apart from other golf balls. You can’t just point to one or two things. The difference is everything,” said Bill Morgan, senior vice president, Titleist Golf Ball R&D. “We have more people with more


experience of designing and making golf balls, the largest intellectual property portfolio and the most sophisticated precision manufacturing processes. “The 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x are the culmination of all that


knowledge and all of that technology. The original Pro V1 was revolutionary, no question, but we’ve learned a lot in the last 15 years and these new Pro V1 models are the best we’ve ever made.”
