Titleist Staffers Begin Testing The New Prototype Pro V1 And Pro V1x Balls
Published: Last updated:
When Titleist’s PGA Tour players arrived at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open last week they were welcomed by a present, wrapped in inconspicuous white paper.
Inside this package were the latest Pro V1 and Pro V1x prototype balls – that TG believes will hit pro shops in 2013 – available for their first week of legal competition play.
“It’s like Christmas,” said Charley Hoffman, who used the new Pro V1. “It’s like, ‘What are we going to get?’ “
Since Titleist first unveiled the Pro V1 at the Invensys Classic at Las Vegas in 2000, the Vegas stop on the PGA Tour has often been the initial tour testing ground for new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models.
During the 2012 event, 18 of the 85 players using a Titleist ball switched over to the new prototype models, including four to the Pro V1 and 14 to the Pro V1x.
The only details TG currently knows, according to the USGA’s Conforming List of Golf Balls, is that the Pro V1 is a three-piece multilayer ball and the Pro V1x is a four-layer ball.
