Titleist Pro V1 2009 Tour Debut
Feb 17th, 2009 by hole high
The new 2009 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls appeared for the first time at the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Hawaii in the first PGA Tournament of the new year. Ten players competed with the new balls including Past Major Winner Davis Love III. Other players who gave them a spin were Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas and J.B. Holmes.
The winner that week was Geoff Ogilvy who didn’t take a chance on a change this time round, but trusted the Pro V1 from the 2007 incarnation of the world beating ball.
Sure to be hit around the world, both versions of the Titleist ball of choice are expected to hit the shops in the UK around March 2009.
Titleist Pro V1
Minor updates to the Titleist Pro V1 include an improved 3 piece multilayer design with a larger core that claims to give a softer feel to the ball whilst offering an improvement on distance over the 2007 Pro V1. The inner casing has been made thinner that will improve the famous Titleist Drop and Stop action. They have also updated the cover that is more durable.
Titleist Pro V1x
The 332 dimple design of the Pro V1x has remained the same whilst a dual core construction allows a lower spin rate than the Pro V1 thus making it more suitable to the amateur golfer.
Recommended price is in the region of £45 which seems a bit steep at the moment. You can pick up some bargains for the 2007 Pro V1 by visiting www.prov1.org.uk
