Based on Titleist fitting I am going to compare the V1 against the AVX. Been plying the AVX but the online fitter thought the V1 would be better.

Snell MTB-Black as I have since the original MTB. I buy them 4-5 dozen at a time so they’ve always been under $30 including shipping. I’ve tried all the big name and other DTC tour balls, and I even buy myself a dozen Pro V1’s once a year or so, but I always come back to the Snell MTB. If cost was no object I’d play Pro V1’s, but the best value tour ball is the Snell MTB for my money.

One of the calls I'm gonna try out. When it was still the B330 I did a live Bridgestone ball fitting and that's what their guy told me to play.

I will be playing the Titleist Pro V1 and only the Pro V1. I've put the Pro V1x through the paces, as well as the Bridgestone Tour BX and found them to be too clicky.

I'm sticking with the MTB-X, partly because it works for me and partly because I have 5 doz sitting on the shelf.

Gonna do a little tinkering with the new Z-Star. Softer and spinnier around the greens but less spin off the driver reads like a recipe for switching from the XV, but we'll see. First up I need to get new/different wedges.
