    I generally score in the mid to high 90’s so I never really gave much thought to which ball to play. I figured it really didn’t matter for someone like me. I’d just buy whatever — different brands, different types of balls etc. Anyway, I decided that I really wanted to settle on one ball so I posted in the TT FB group about this and many people suggested the Pro V1x and the Tour Speed. Folks also suggested an online ball fitting with Titleist.

    I did the online fitting and the Titleist rep suggested the same balls - the Pro V1x and the Tour Speed as a less expensive alternative and he’s sending me some samples.

    In the meantime, I realized I had previously bought a sleeve of Tour Speeds awhile back and played them today with an eye towards really paying attention to how they performed. And even though I am not a very good player, I saw some huge differences in how the Tour Speed held the green in my approach shots and my chipping. Many times with other balls they would run off the green. I never really paid attention before tbh.

    Anyway this is a long way of saying that I now get the benefits of balls that will check up and hold the green and the Titleist balls I have played made a big difference. I look forward to trying the Pro V1x and comparing it to the Tour Speed and making a decision on a permanent ball choice.

    Thanks, Titleist!

    Sounds like you are well on your way to adding some consistency to your game. Congratulations. Nothing wrong with a budget-minded golfer who tends to loose a couple of ball per round, picking a ball that performs well but stays within your budget. I did that for years until I got my game to be a bit more consistent and my kids went off on their own. Titleist makes a ball for everyone and all that matters is that you find the one that works best for you. Enjoy!

    By the box, Tour Speed is a more economical tribute to the Gods of Golf while seeking a water hazard.

    If you decide the Pro-V1x suits your game but the price is limiting, you might want to compare the price for the X per dozen in the 4 boxes for the price of 3 coming up in March. Will be close in price to the Tour Speed.

    Best of luck whichever way you go.

    HCP 13 and I'm using the Tour Speed too, and love it. Went for a ball fitting, and the stopping distance with pitches / chips on the launch monitor screen was very close to the Pro V1x. But in the long game I really didn't feel or see a difference unless I looked at the launch monitor's numbers. So for the price difference I'm happy with the performance. But if ProV1x start the buy 3 get one free I would be interested.
