Information on the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball

The Titleist Pro V1 is one of the most popular golf balls in the world. It is widely used by both top pros and weekend warriors alike.

History

The Pro V1 was introduced in 2000 and quickly became the most popular ball on the professional Tours.

Features

Titleist designed a more durable three-piece ball, instead of the more common two-piece ball that had durability issues. According to Titleist, the core of the ball is made of Polybutadiene, the second layer is Ionomer and the outer white layer is Urethane Elastomer.

Benefits

The Pro V1, with its high-spin design, will grab the green on a full shot--even for the weekend golfer.

Warning

High-spin balls such as the Pro V1 can cause more slices and hooks.

Famous Ties

According to Titleist, the playoff at the 2009 Masters between Chad Campbell, Kenny Perry and green jacket winner Angel Cabrera was a three-way Pro V1 playoff.

Considerations

Titleist's MSRP is $58, but you can expect to pay between $45 and $55 per Pro V1 dozen, depending on where you shop.

Industry Experts Debate What Makes an Iron Easy to Hit
by Mike Chwasky
What makes an iron easy to hit? It's a question golfers and designers have been asking since the days of the Nicoll Cleek and Forrester Mashie. When it comes to drivers and woods, it's not nearly as mysterious. Big, light club heads, long graphite shafts and modern materials are easy to spot, and their functions are relatively obvious. With irons it's a different story. At first glance, most irons are almost indistinguishable from one another. Yes, some have longer blades or more offset, but for the most part, irons don't look that much different than they did 25 years ago.
