    I’ve happily used the X as my ball for the last 7 years. I’m now struggling to get to over 80 mph driver speed (stuff happens as you get older…) Just curious if any low speed golfers have done a serious green to tee comparison of a Pro-V model to either Tour Soft or TruFeel? My curiosity was raised by a MySpy golf article that listed 2 piece surlyn as the best options for low speed swings. Neither Titleist ball was included. I have time to think about this as all the local courses are closed for the season. As well as my Pro-V ball supply may last well beyond 2025.

    Been saying this for years. Lower-speed players will often see more speed and higher flight by using a non-tour ball. While you won't get the same greenside spin from a 2 piece ball, you might just add a few yards off the tee and hit your irons a little further too.

    At 68 I have noticed my swing speed slow down a bit, and I've always liked a higher ball flight with my irons and played the ProV1X for several years. Got a set of combo T350/T200 irons last year and for some reason got better play with the ProV1 so went with that. About a month ago I picked up a sleeve of the new AVX and tried that for a comparison. Gained a bit of distance and it feels softer off the clubface. Considering going with that but I sill like the ProV1 around the greens. Still have 3 dozen ProV1's to play so need to do a little more research before making the change.

    At 78 love the performance I get from the Prov1. Have never changed and it is a ball I can count on. T350 irons with AMT R300 shafts, and woods have Fujikura shafts. When you go for a fitting take the ball you ball with, so you fitting is complete. Better distance and accuracy than 90% guys my age.
  5. I agree.. the ball you play for your swing speed is very important.. I like the pro V 1
