New Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x

February 9, 2011

The ball that changed it all has itself changed. The new Pro V1 and Pro V1x balls most significant changes are in the dimples on the surface. The old Pro V1 had 392 dimples, whereas the new has 352 dimples in five different sizes to provide more surface coverage. The term Titleist uses is “spherically tiled”—think about the construction of a soccer ball for a model. The Pro V1x has gone from 332 dimples to 328 in seven different spherically tiled dimples.

The end result of these is better flight. The Pro V1 looks for a more penetrating ball flight, while the Pro V1x encourages a higher trajectory.

The ball also uses a new manufacturing process that’s supposed to increase the consistency of the core.
