I was at s Titleist launch event last fall and sat and talked with a Sr. Mgr. of ball development and was actually told they made them a bit closer to each other (a bit more spin for the X, and a bit less for the V) but they still are on the same side of the line as they were before.

MDGolfHacker No don't think so When I've been asked about the differences, from those that knew I was part of the pre-release balls, I've tried to stick to the above explanation. Also knowing I don't have the game to really be able to judge it by the way I play, I definitely sought out the difference straight from the source. There is more technical detail to it, but in a nutshell that is what the end result was.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Wow, that's a big deal signing. As the blurb mentions, you wonder if it will entice a buyer? You have to think TMAG wouldn't' have committed that amount of money whatever the amount is, without knowing if it will keep a potential buyer at bay. I think with the success of the M Line and some of the players that have moved to TMAG, it has to look good to a buyer.

MDGolfHacker Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Cool that he settled on one club manufacturer for his equipment. I wonder if the money had mostly to do with it or if it was truly the best equipment out there for him. Glad to see him back in action regardless. MDGolfHacker What's In This Lefty's Bag?

Undershooter Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm curious where you have heard they flipped the balls. I was at s Titleist launch event last fall and sat and talked with a Sr. Mgr. of ball development and was actually told they made them a bit closer to each other (a bit more spin for the X, and a bit less for the V) but they still are on the same side of the line as they were before. It wasn't a complete flip but the ProV1 is now the lower launch and spin model. The 1X is now the higher launch and spin ball of the 2. That wasn't the case previously. The only thing that remains the same is the PV1 is still the softer of the two. Thus they have essentially reversed the two purely because the PV1 is "supposed" to be the flagship ball and not the PV1X.
