Dear Titleist Friends,
I am the Pastor at First Christian Church in Meridian, MS. We held a golf scramble for members and the Number 2 Ranked Meridian Community College Golf Team on April 2. I played and on the holy number seven, I pulled out a nine iron for an uphill shot at Northwood Country Club (135 yards). The wind was blowing in our face. The ball looked good as it hit the green.
We went to the green and looked for the ball. One of the MCC players went to the hole, looked in, and turned to me and said, "You don't need to putt." Then he broke out with a huge smile! It was my first hole in one!
Thankfully the ball was a TITLEIST #1 New ProV1. My nickname is "Parson" and it was the golfing highlight of my life, especially considering it was during a church golf tourney! God has a great sense of humor!
Thanks for the memory Titleist!

Played the new Pro V1 that were given to me at Pinehurst to test and played 45 holes with the same ball and really loved the feel particularly putting. On Pinehurst course #2 played the back 9 and shot 38, at Carolina Trace Lakes Course shot 76 in the Inter Club Tournament and Pinehurse Course #4 shot 77. Was well pleased with the way I played with my currrent index being 10.
I have been playing the Pro V1x but will be playing Pro V1's from now on.

I was fortunate to trial the NEW ProV1 prior to delivery to the market place. I trialed it just as Titleist requested and discovered the ball worked wonders around the green with pitch shots and putting. I monitored the trials the Pro's were doing and discovered they really loved the ball.
I had not hit the ball with my driver yet but decided one day in a match that I would use THE ball. I belonged to a private club for 20 years and on hole #6, a par 5, the "Big Dogs" could carry the hill , which was a VERY NICE drive. In all my 20 years, I had NEVER driven a ball that far. The NEW Pro V 1 made a believer out of me as now I can carry that hill with the "Boys".
The group of elderly gentlemen that I now play with are touting that I'm using an illegal ball, because my drives are longer than normal, as they all know where I used to hit the ball. My handicap has dropped 2 strokes also. Keep'um coming Titleist.

I recently had two hole-n-ones at my home course. They were within a two week period.
4-3-11 I had a hole-n-one on the 150yd. 8th hole
4-17-11 I had a hole-n-one on the 147yd. 13th hole
I was using the Titleist Pro V1x when I had both of my hole-n-ones. It is the only ball I will play with.
PS: I love the golf ball so much that I just recently named my Doberman Titleist.
Yours Truly,

Hello again
I played my first full round with the new V1X's, WOW! I hit my 3 wood further than I hit my driver (with an old ball)! The accuracy of my shots was much improved to less sidespin of the X model. And, I didn't lose a ball the whole round, I have never done this before, thanks Titleist.
I am a Titleist player for life.
Thank you very much Titleist, you really do make the best ball in golf!Thanks,
Benjamin.

Dear Team Titleist,
I just shot my lowest round ever(68) with the new Pro-V1X, I just love this ball, its long off the tee and it comes off my Scotty oh so beautifully when putting. I also have to give a little credit to my 909's(Driver, woods and hybrids) and to my old trusty 735s CMs, just love everything Titleist. Never been so confident on my equipment since I picked up my first club 11 years ago. Thank you Titleist.

Well I have not shot my lowest round ever, but I am bringing down my handicap index rather well. I shot a 88 today with several lost strokes due to poor putts, or it would have been in 83-84 range. I owe it all to the ProV1X ball and the way it leaps away from the club face when I hit it. I was hitting the NXT line and it was good, but I have noticed a major difference in the ProV line. I am a convert and will go tell it on the mountain if need be. Now I am gonna try and get that index down from a 14 to a sub 10. So hopefully I will be reporting good news by end of summer. have a good one people and keep hitting those Titleist int he short grass.

Had my dad pick up a dozen ProV1x's on the way down to NC because they were on sale. Handed him the cash on the first tee and pulled out a brand new red #5. After I birdied the 16th, my 3rd birdie out of a possible 4 par 5s, i reflected on the fact that i had a good shot at breaking 80. Two up and downs for par, and i asked my friend what I shot......72, even par! First time ever shooting even par. Kept the ball and the scorecard. Re-gripping the AP2s tonight, back at it tomorrow. Driver fitting in less than two weeks....next goal....round under par!
Thanks Titleist.

Last spring I played in our high school conference tournament. Having a reputable season to this point, I had been 4th in the conference player of the year standings. While playing under immense pressure, I trusted my ProV1 to get me around the course that day. After starting off with two disappointing bogeys, I decided to aim at the flag on the difficult 12th. Using my 54 degree Vokey I pured a shot straight into the hole for my first ever Hole-In-One!!!!! The next hole was a reachable Par 5. I reached the green in 2 and could not belief I was putting for back to back eagles! I made the putt and continued the round at 2 under 70. This sensational round vaulted me all the way to 1st in the conference player of the year standings. Thanks to the entire Titleist line of equipment and golf balls I can truely say that I am a champion because of you.
Thank you for the remarkable performance,

Mike,
I am playing the new Pro V1 and it is by far the best ball I have ever played. I have communicated this to our Titleist Rep Todd Jenkins, who is the greatest rep we have ever had in Brownwood, Tx.
Also, i have a question, "Is there a Titleist golf ball archive similar to the Club archive?" Mayb you can direct me to the right place to ask the question. Thanks

Would love to try new pro v 1 x's but there isn't any golf ball fitting days around here and I was wondering if you could send me a couple 2 packs or a sleeve of them so I can try and then write about them

Two weekends ago I played in 20-30 mph winds. I walked up to the 4th tee which was a 220 yard par 3 into the wind. There was water in front of the green so I was forced to pull out my driver since my 3 wood probably wouldn't make it there due to the wind. I teed up my Titleist Pro V1 and hit it straight into the extremely strong wind. My Pro V1 ended up hitting about a yard short of the pin, rolled up, and lipped out! It sat there about two feet from the hole. I have never gotten a hole in one, but I couldn't imagine the feeling I would have had if that ball dropped. I ended up shooting a 42 on the nine holes I played because of a 9 on the last hole, which was a par 5. I will never forget the shot I had on that par 3 with that amazing Pro V1, which did exactly what I wanted. I'm going out tomorrow and you can be sure that I will be hitting another Pro V1 with my AP2's, Vokey wedges, 910F, and Scotty Cameron that are sitting in my 14-way Titleist bag! The only thing missing is the 910 driver, which I hope to have by the end of the summer.

shot 81 this past Saturday at Dyker Beach in Brooklyn using the new Pro V1 and wearing a Titleist Players Glove - my best score in three years! I had a put for 79 on 18, unfortunate 3 putt - but I'm still very happy! Onward to the 70s!
The new Pro V1 ball rocks - no doubt, no question.

It was last Tuesday, May 10th. I was turning the Big 4-0 and celebrating with a round of golf at Sandy Burr CC in Wayland, MA. Standing in the pro shop, I decided to treat myself to a sleeve of ProV1's (rather than my usual NXT Tours).
I played a solid front nine, which for me means a 42. But it was cold and nasty out...and I was playing with my old college roommate who also posted a solid from nine (for him) of 67 ;-)
On the back, I parred the 200 yard uphill par 3 10th. And then, with my approach on the par 5 11th, "it" happened:
70 yards to a middle right hole location. Grabbed my 59.09 Black Nickel Vokey Spin Milled, stood over my ProV1 and took dead aim.
Slight draw...over the top of the flag...hit...one hop...zip back 8-10 feet to 2 inches (see photo).
What, you were expecting a hole out?!
For a mid-handicapper like myself, watching a ProV1 react just like I hoped/dreamed it would was a 40th birthday present I won't soon forget.

right on Tim - GREAT shot - this game is so unbelievably gratifying!

Any round that I get to play with my father and brother is very much a blessing. My dad is retired and cared for my mother every day she was fighting cancer until her passing. My brother retired from the Air Force and took care of all of our freedoms along with all the other soldiers (Thanks to ALL of you).
Dad is a scratch golfer and my brother is bringing his game around. We are all very much different and so much the same.
We all love golf so very much and all play Titleist clubs and balls.
Mike and the Titleist staff, Thanks for the opportunity to tell our stories for all to read.

While I still have quite a few of the older model balls, 2009-2010, I tried the new ones today and found that they are better. I found that I got more distance and was able to get more spin on the ball on approach shots to the green and much better putting with the firmer feel of the ball off the putter. Of course, I have been using ProV1 and ProV1x for the last several years, but have always been a Titleist fan for more than 50 years. Over all the time I have been golfing, the Titleist ball has been my choice over all the others I have tried and now that I own a set Of AP2s and Vokey wedges (52, 56 & 60), I am now working to get all of my other clubs with the Titleist name on them. Needless to say, I am very, very happy with my Titleist clubs and balls. The only thing I am currently trying to figure out is how Titleist is going to improve their line of clubs and balls?

according to the brand new launch monitor the pro v1 was the worst ball for me having an inconsistent ball flight and distance..... but the nxt-tour was the best with 5 yards between 3 of the shots so im an nxt'er ..... figured i should mention i have won my last 2 juniour competitions with the nxt ..... the 2 after the ball fitting, im guessing its down to the ball then =]

Hi Mike,
Playing a ProV1x I shot a 1-under 34 on the front nine at Harmon Golf Club in Rockland, MA, and an 18 hole total of 75. It's the first time I shot under par for nine holes. Not bad for an 11.2 handicap. :-)
Thank you,

Just received my order of new Pro V1x balls from the buy 3 dozen and get 1 free offer. Couldn't wait to try them out as I had been recently fitted for them at a demo day. I finally had a chance to hit the course this week while on travel and try them out on the Tom Fazio designed Butterfield Trail golf course in El Paso Texas. I am a 15 handicapper and I was expecting the worse as the weather conditions were not the best as the west texas winds were living up to their reputation with winds blowing at 30 mph and gusts up to 45mph!!! All I can say is WOW for how the ball played in those conditions. I couldn't believe how well the ball cut through the winds and especially how approach shots and chips to the green just checked up. I was playing the best short game of my life in terrible conditions. The bottom line was I shot a 2 over 38 on the front nine!! The only thing that was different from any other previous round in the past was the ball. I had never even come close to a score like before even in perfect weather. My playing partner was amazed at how well the ball performed especially in such high winds. Unfortunately we could not play the back nine as the weather just got too miserable. So I am now looking forward to playing a full 18 with the Pro V1x to see if I can shoot my lowest 18 hole score and finally break 80! I can't say enough about the performance of these new Pro V1x's. You have a customer for life now!

Did you shoot your lowest score ever? Win an early season tournament? Break 80 for the first time? Make a hole-in-one? Get up-and-down from a seemingly impossible lie?We'd love to hear about your experiences and success stories while playing the New Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls. Even if you're still waiting to hit the highlight reels this season, we would still appreciate your feedback.So feel free to share your stories on how the new golf ball is already helping you shoot lower scores. We're looking forward to reading them!Don’t forget to post an action shot of you on the course if you have one. And who knows, your story might end up in one of our ads…
I was playing the 6th round in 3 days at Lost Canyons Sky Course near Los angeles, I was tired, sore and had jsut hurt my ankle stumbling on a hillside. One the 7th hole, a 170 yd beauty, I
It is interesting to do this. We go south in the winter and I change from the ProV1x to the ProV1 due to the lack of humidity. Plus the weather is hotter and ground is drier so the ball goes farther. In colder weather down there I revert back to the V1x. In Iowa, where we live, I use the ProV1x and NXT Tour in the colder weather. One would not believe the difference in performance that I have encountered, but have tried other balls and the ProV1 & ProV1x are my staples.

I was playing with two members and Art Stricklin at RockCreek Golf Club Gordonville, Texas 76245. With the perfect driver and ball combination which is the R11 with UST Attas 2 7x shaft and the new Titleist ProV1. I aced number six a 418 yard par 4. This was Unbelievable and feels wonderful. Thank you Titleist for my 20th hole-in-one on par 4''s!
