Blind ball fitting – Titleist Pro V1 vs Pro V1x
“We took Jamie McConnell of the Butch Harmon School of Golf at The Els Club through a blind ball fitting with the Pro V1 and Pro V1x so he wouldn’t know which ball he was hitting out of the two. We started from the green back to the tee box so he would get a chance to hit all types of shots with each ball. We believe that a proper golf ball fitting takes place on the golf course, and the Titleist Tour-validated “Green-to-Tee” approach successfully fits players of all abilities, from the world’s best to high-handicap amateurs. We marked out each golf ball so Jamie purely had to rely on feel and results of all shots hit to determine which one he preferred out of the two.”
– Stuart Taylor
Putting
Out of the two balls Jamie picked out the Pro V1x. This was a result of liking the feel off the putter face and the amount of control he felt he had with the pace of the putts.
Short Game
We tested Jamie on the short game shots around the green. He found both golf balls had superior control. He preferred Pro V1x due to it just launching a little higher on pitch shots. This suited his feel and the way he like the ball to land onto the green.
7 iron into the green
Both balls had great dispersion throughout the test and it was hard to choose between them. However, again from a feel perspective, Pro V1x was his preferred choice. There were small differences between the two balls.
Driver
Jamie just preferred the slightly higher peak flight with the ProV1x. Nevertheless, he couldn’t believe the penetrating flight he got from the the Pro V1 from the tee. Again, both had extremely good dispersion.
Conclusion
The Titleist Pro V1x was Jamie’s choice in all four tests as his preferences came down to feel, and how he liked to see the ball through the air. Both balls performed terrifically but every different player will have certain balls that suit their eyes, feel and technique. It was an eye-opening experience for Jamie in witnessing just how well both golf balls performed and also how beneficial a ball-fitting can be to a player.
