Previous editions I used the X for some added launch as I'm distanced-challenged. The new V has been longer than the old V for me and I prefer the feel around the greens. I do spend more time looking for it - I can only really follow white balls for about 160 yards, and the V is almost never where I see it land - always surprising long. The 2 now come down to personal results and preferences. I might seek sneaking in a left-over X on longer par 3's to try to minimize roll.

I too chose the X over the Pro V, mainly for the launch. I've had no issues at all getting enough spin around the green with the X. I've heard that the Pro V has changed a lot and they're even closer than they used to be, but I'm not one to mess with success. Going to Myrtle for 8 rounds in a couple weeks, maybe I'll experiment down there. But happy for now with the X

I play the V1 and is as advertised, however, I only wish it was softer.

I like to play the X because of the more solid feel. The softness of the ball coming off the tee might be great in the V, but it is, at least for me, a little harder to lag putt with the V because of the softer feel. Also when I was a kid I liked the red number better than the black number. So that may have some more influence into my decision:)

Hi, I posed the question a few weeks ago on the same subject. I came across a ProV1x pre the latest ProV1s and find that it is longer than the usual ProV1 that I have been playing for years! I recently tried the new ProV1 and found that it flew very much lower than its predecessor and I am not happy with that at all. I am used to a high ball flight and will be searching around for the ProV1x of the previous variety!

I converted this year from the Pro V1X to the Pro V1 as the Pro V1 is now a lower launching and spinning ball on the long shots. I can still get plenty of spin with short game. A great decision, either way.

I prefer Pro V1. I like a soft ball. Pro V1x is a firmer ball with a bit more distance, but too firm feeling for me.
