There is no "better" ball for seniors with moderate swing speeds. It's all about using the ball that performs best for you. How do you determine that, the best way is to purchase a sleeve of each and do on-course comparisons. Another method is to use the Ball Selector Tool and try the primary and alternate options on the course.

I would not go just by swing speed. Hight, feel, spin, are all factors to consider and what any one player decides is best for them may not match someone else's priority. Do the on-line ball fitting and/or try a few rounds with each and pick what works for you. Most slower swings will gravitate to the Pro V1x but i know a lot of seniors that like the fairway roll-out they get from AVX. All are great balls so I suggest you find the one that you like best.

My swing speed is 91 mph and I am using the new AVX. Good distance and spin on the wedges. I was lucky enough to have got the left dot Pro V1, I think I like it better though.

All or none of the 3. I’m at 85 mph and I still do better with the X. You need to find which one suits your flight window, landing angle, checking on greens, and feel on shots.
There is/was a link under ball fittings to speak to a Titleist rep to help you narrow down your selection to 2 choices.
Contrary to claims from a tire company, ball selection based on swing speed is not a key criteria.

The AVX. It’s the softest premium ball Titleist offers

Swing speed is not a good reference for the type of ball you play. I don't even know my swing speed, and I really don't care. At 65 I'm sure my swing speed would be on the lower end of the chart but I have had great games with balls that were supposedly designed for the higher end swing speeds. The game allows you to carry as many balls as you want, and whatever model you want. Any advice from others will only apply to their game. Buy a sleeve of each and play 6 holes with each ball and that will answer your question better than anybody's comments.

There are many variables that go into having the right ball for your game. Certainly your personal swing characteristics and speed make a difference, but in my opinion, the make-up of your equipment does too. Change a shaft in your driver from one profile to a very different one and the ball you were playing that gave you great results may or may not be the most ideal any longer. However, around the greens it still may be the best for your game. There are tradeoffs with everything. The good thing about Titleist balls is, no matter which tour-level ball proves to be best for your long game, they all work similarly well around the greens.

I saw distance gains off the driver (TSi 3) and positive overall results from Pro V1x last year, after playing strictly AVX for two years and Pro V1 (which I was fit for) prior to that for 10 years. So I made Pro V1x my new everyday ball in 2021. However, right now in the colder temps I have switched back to the AVX on breezy days because they do seem to cut through the wind better. Otherwise the ProV1x is still my ball of choice for daily use. I love the way they feel coming off the face of my driver and there is no denying the great distance I see from them. I'm in my 60s with a SS between 95-98 mph. Yet, the Pro V1x seems to be the best ball for me most days of the year. Go figure.

I think it has a lot to do with your swing, course conditions and your equipment.

My swing speed is in the low 90's, I play a TSI3 10.75* with a Fujikura Speeder Tour Rated S shaft. My ball of choice is the Prov1 and I get good distance for someone who just turned 75. On a good day, mine with run out 260.

Of course there is a fellow from Texas on here that can really bomb a golf ball who is older than me. Never underestimate a senior golfer from the age appropriate tees.

Nice shout out to TED! Yes, he still has some pop in that stick.

You do want to be able to compress the ball. I’m searching for the best ball for me. 1st requirement is spinn with irons followed by distance. I only carry 210 to 220 with my driver. It’s hard to score when hitting woods or long irons into long par 4s.

I am also in the 90-95 speed range and found the AVX is a good choice and even tried the Tour Speed with good results as I was able to achieve a little more run out on fairways and into the greens...

Have you been to mygolfspy.com? They perform unbiased tests on all things golf, including extensive, and I do mean *extensive* tests on balls. Among other things reported are various performance characteristics for driver, 8-iron and wedge for various swing speeds.

I'd also recommend the virtual ball fitting that Titleist offers.

I've learned a lot about ball testing from my 9-year-old son, actually. Kids don't know any of the science behind golf balls, so I've just had him try different golf balls, and what I've learned is that preference is SO player-specific (unless one is giving you huge gains, I suppose).

He plays A LOT of golf, so he does have some pre-conceived ideas about what he wants his ball to do even though he can't quite articulate it like an adult would (to be honest, what he says makes a little more sense because he's just describing what he's feeling). He also didn't like the way they feel on his putter.

Nonetheless, his swing speed is only in the 60 MPH range, and he plays the Pro V1 for a number of reasons. I tried to get him to play a softer ball (since the science tells me he can compress it more), but the distance gains were very minimal and he complained about the ball "bouncing too hard (off of the club face) and not sitting on the green" (his words) off of his wedge. As an observer, I like the way a softer ball seems to jump off of his irons and hybrid, but he complains of it "feeling like a marshmallow." So, again, I'll lean to his preferences.

The ProV1X seemed to be a little short for him, even though he liked the feel. His driver AoA is pretty steep, so maybe he's generating too much spin and the ball just sort of balloons in the air? Not sure. I would need someone with more knowledge to help me on that one.

The moral of my story is that I think club head speed is simply one small factor (as others have mentioned) when choosing the right ball. He seems to play best, and most importantly, feels most comfortable with the Pro V1.


Sidenote: We haven't really tried the AVX. Maybe I'll throw that out there for a spin.
