Yeah, these are the best balls you can hit, but they aren't error correcting because they are designed to be power faded and sliced. This means they won't attempt to error correct like a "Straight" ball. Pro players love Pro v1's since they can side spin them with "english" to power fade them around the dogleg.
If you have a slice or hook, this ball will only remind you of your imperfections as your $5+ golf ball glides into the rough, marsh or the water hazard.
The best Pro v1 tip, wait until you are consistently hitting straight before you buy them, until then, consider the Titlelist NXT, you can also use the NXT tour but the tour version is meant for shot shapers and will mimic the Pro v1 when it comes to showing off your imperfections.
The best golf ball I've hit June 19, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
As a...well, a high handicapper, my golf game has never been such that a slight variation in equipment, especially balls, will make or break a round for me (I usually break the round myself). But I love to hit these balls, and play them whenever I find them. I especially like the Pro V1x, which really helps my distance off the tee. It's difficult to explain, but these balls just FEEL good when you hit them--the ball often seems to float off the club and absolutely soar. I don't buy these balls, and have found many cheaper balls which suit my purposes just fine most of the time, but on a hole with little danger of losing a ball in a water hazard or something similar there's nothing I like better than teeing up a Pro V1.

These balls will aways be the best of the best if you can afford them. I usually can't.
Best ball on the market today, period November 26, 2005
Don't let anyone tell you that playing with the right equipment doesn't make a difference in your game, because it does. Getting a set of affordable custom-fit clubs was the key for me in finally getting my index down into single digits ... along with a few lessons and some serious work, of course.
Similarly, the difference between playing a professional ball like the Titleist ProV1 and a low-cost, low-quality alternative adds up to anywhere from 1-2 strokes per round, if not more.
If playing your absolute best and posting the scores to show for it isn't worth paying a few extra dollars to you, then fine. But it is to me, even if these days I'm lucky to play once every couple weeks or so.
The real decision is whether to choose the softer, more forgiving ProV1 or the longer, less workable ProV1x. Both are professional quality ... which one is right for you depends on your game and preferences.
Although I'm past 50 years of age, height and distance have never been a problem. I've never been one to rip it 300 yards, but am consistantly in the 250-275 range when I hit it on the screws. Over the years I've learned the lesson of the "drive for show, putt for dough" mantra. Course management and short game are the secrets to going low.
Which is why I prefer the ProV1. It's plenty long for me, but the real deciding factor is the soft feel off the putter and around the green. It does spin -- in fact the first time I played it I spun back and off the green when landing pin high twice on the front nine. So it may take some getting used to at first.
The ProV1x is a fine ball if you need the extra distance. But after playing the ProV1 it does feel a little on the hard side, especially with the flat stick.
Look, 90 percent of the pros wouldn't be playing these balls if they didn't deliver for them week in and week out, and in various playing conditions. So the next morning you're handing over the credit card for green fees and a cart, toss a sleeve of both the ProV1 and ProV1x on the counter and judge for yourself.
What do you have to lose besides a few strokes (and a few extra dollars)?
Fairways and greens, my friends.
