Your golf ball is easily one of the most important pieces of equipment to your golf game which is why it’s important to know select the right one, and how you should adjust your golf ball based on course conditions.

Titleist is known for being one of the top balls on Tour, but their golf ball line isn’t just designed for pros. It meets the complete range of performance needs and player preferences. When properly fit to a golfer’s game, Pro V1, Pro V1x or AVX provide the best possible performance to help golfers shoot lower scores. If you’re a player who values feel, colour, price and appearance, you may prefer to play Tour Soft, Velocity or DT TruSoft.

 

Here are a few FAQs about Titleist golf ball fittings to help you find the right ball for you. 

Am I good enough to play Pro V1, Pro V1x or AVX?

Yes, you are! Pro V1, Pro V1x, and AVX golf balls perform for all golfers, not just highly skilled players. In fact, a less skilled golfer may benefit even more from using a high performance golf ball. Mid to high handicap players miss more greens and need to get up and down more frequently to save strokes. The spin and control that Pro V1, Pro V1x, and AVX provide helps these players execute the short game shots necessary to play their best.

Additionally, while mid to high handicap golfers hit well-struck shots during their rounds, they just don’t hit them as often. Their missed shots, particularly on shots into greens, require more forgiveness. Better stopping power from higher spin on approach shots and short game shots can often mean the difference between staying on the green or rolling off it.

Should I be playing a Low Compression Golf Ball?

A common misconception among golfers when selecting a golf ball is that they should match a ball’s compression to their swing speed, believing that they will get added distance or better performance from the low compression golf ball. This is misguided.

Golfers compress the golf ball on every shot at every speed, and the difference in golf ball compression is minimal at widely varied swing speeds.

So what exactly is compression and why should golfers care about it? Compression is solely a test of the relative softness of a golf ball. If a golfer has a feel preference for a softer feeling golf ball, they may prefer to play a lower compression golf ball.

Q.Which Titleist Golf Ball Model is Best for My Swing Speed?

Many golfers are mistakenly led to believe that they should be fit for a golf ball based solely on their driver swing speed. This is a flawed approach. The truth is that every golfer has many different swing speeds, not just one. Golfers utilize a wide range of swing speeds to execute the vast array of shots that are required in every round, and to play your best, the golf ball must perform for all of these different shots. There are a number of important factors to consider when deciding which golf ball is best for you, but swing speed should not be one of those factors.

Titleist golf balls deliver total performance at every speed, with every club, on every shot, not just the 14 drivers you may hit in a round.

Which Titleist Golf Ball is the Straightest?

Many golfers mistakenly believe that they can help “cure” their offline tee shots with a low spin, distance golf ball. This is not the case. All Titleist golf balls are low spin off the driver, with a minimal difference between all models. With such a small difference in spin rates between models off the driver, there is no meaningful impact on dispersion.

It is also important to remember that low spin, distance golf balls are typically low spin on all shots, which can have a detrimental impact on scoring shot performance. The difference in spin rate on scoring shots between models is significant and game-changing.

Playing golf balls like Pro V1, Pro V1x, and AVX, which are low spin off the driver, but provide substantially more spin on the scoring shots than other models, allows golfers to have more control and hit shots closer to the hole more frequently.

Which Titleist Golf Ball is the Longest?

All Titleist golf balls are designed and manufactured to be exceptionally long off the tee, with all of their models measuring within 4-6 yards of each other. Simply put, there is no significant distance advantage to be gained when selecting one Titleist model over another. Additionally, in any given round, whether you shoot under par or over 100, you will only hit your driver a maximum of 14 times. For these reasons, when choosing a golf ball, start at the green and work your way back to the tee, and look to optimize performance on the scoring shots (chips, pitches, and approach shots) as this is where every golfer has the greatest opportunity to improve their score.

Why do Titleist Pro V1, Pro V1x and AVX help all golfers shoot lower scores?

Through proprietary technologies and precision manufacturing, Pro V1, Pro V1x, and AVX provide golfers with unmatched performance in all facets of the game – extraordinary distance in the long game, exceptional spin and control in the short game, optimized flight, soft feel, and long lasting durability. With unique flight, spin, and feel characteristics, Pro V1, Pro V1x, and AVX are each designed to give golfers the best opportunity to shoot lower scores.
