everthing in my bag has been there for 4 years except the driver and golf ball original x ball

John,

I first heard of the difference between the Pro V1X 'original versus new' from Larry Nelson. Can you explain this to our members? Also, how does the 'original' Prov1X compare to the current ProV1? Thanks!

yoda i really don't know all i have ever played is the x ball.the new x is suppose to spin less with the wedges but it also spins less with the driver.the prov1 spins more than both x's.it feels a little softer with the irons.the original x is perfect for me so until titleist stops making it i will play it.hope this helped

Yes, the 'original x' seems to be 'TOUR preferred' (among those using the 'x'). Thanks, John!

(My take):

(It will not really help an 18-handicapper at all......tour clubs DO feel heavier, sometimes feel better upon Impact (more solid), have custom face angles, are made from better quality materials....most importantly though....TOUR clubs are built for TOUR players!......

This means: higher centre of gravity...which means- LOWER SPIN for players with HIGH swing speeds....(to stop balooning).

This is absolutely great for someone who can take advantage of it.....but....

Not good AT ALL for someone who does not generate high swing speeds...

Unless they just want to look cool... )
