ProV1X vs INESIS distance 100 | Cheap vs Expensive Golf Ball

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

A comparison between a $5.00 ball (ProV1X) and a $0.25 ball (INESIS 100 Distance), is a PROV1 worth it for a mid-handicapper? thanks for watching. 🔔 Consider subscribing for more content, thanks ➜ kzbin.info/door/0clnoosBlPIE0iggBgwANQ

Nice Breakdown bud! I agree those ProV1s are a bit expensive. I just bought a new box of ProV1s and ran about $40. I love the control around the greens with them but that's about it. Nice edit and the course looks in great shape!

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Thanks, yeah I only get them for Christmas and always end up losing them....

[@LetsPlayThru]

Great comparison. Can hear the difference. Always searching for a good Pro V1 substitute. I really like both Vice Pro Plus and Snell.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Never heard of those, I think the Inesis is good, but watching the video again, I realize that I pushed the Inesis twice to the right 🤔 I think I'll do the center of gravity test using salt and see.....

[@LetsPlayThru]

@@thebackyardgolfer7010 Oh highly recommend you try them. They are more like $1.50 - $2 per ball, but they perform just as good as Pro V1 in my opinion. The reason they are cheaper is that they do not sell them in stores. You can only buy direct from their website.

Thanks for the review! I’ve been playing for almost 1 year with 19 Hc and use the inesis 100 yellow one, and it feels great for tee off with driver which I count on it for a straight and longer drive… I also use Titleist true fell, but somehow the inesis 100 yellow felt and perform better for me…

I am an 18 handicap and have been using the Inesis ball for two years and can’t find good enough reason to switch to a more expensive ball. I have thought of moving to the Costco Kirkland ball but according to ‘My Golf Spy’ it’s cover doesn’t last. I looking to stock up for next year but with the value and durability of the Inesis ball I think I will be staying with it. Thanks for another great offering.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Yeah, these are definitely good and is nice to be able to play with a new ball all the time, considering their price. I did see a difference in distance with the Bridgestone balls, but to a certain extent. I always grab a pack when I can.

[@rabg6284]

Just found out about inesis after buying a bunch of used balls, thanks for the info

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

They’re pretty good balls for sure, I even used them in competitions

[@changemymind8692]

When I began golfing I bought all the latest and great equipment. I learned my lesson. Golf equipment marketing are beasts and they will leave your pockets looking like rabbit ears. Unless you're getting a paycheck playing golf stick to the budget stuff.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Totally agree there, great way to put it!

[@fat-shotgolf2937]

Great test. I don't use Pro V1 unless I find them. I use Inesis 500 and 900 both excellent balls. Particularly for a club golfer. I'd like to see a video comparing all 3 Inesis balls - I may do it myself! Rock on...

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Yes, that would be very interesting 👍

[@metalheads-golf]

One of the Metalheads Guys Mr Pure Metal also plays with the Ineses balls and others but was very happy with them. I myself play with Seed golf bals. Never hit a pro v so could not tell. As you state when maybe I ever get into single digit with my hcp ... I still think I would stick to what I'm happy with. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 great vid again sir. Stay metal, Eric.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Yes I know, at our level it doesn't make much of a difference I think, but maybe a little in the putting 🤔

[@ForetoFourGolf]

I’ve tried lots of balls...i tend to go with a premium ball but i only have pro v1 when i win them or find them. Currently using the Sri on z-star xv, same feel as the Taylor made and title isn’t premium balls but $20 cheaper a dozen!

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Fore to Four Golf Yeah, I don’t like to spend too much on golf balls, trying these cheap balls now, but I’m still not 100% sure

[@GolfTesla]

nice golf course....it seems. Where exactly is it? Are you a member there, or a greenfee player? By the way: I often play with "found balls" if they still look OK - at my level, it does not make much of a difference, though a friend recently told me that my drive would be a lot longer if I had used a ProV1

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Yes, for the most part it doesn't matter, but old balls do not go as far as new ones.

[@ChiliDippaGolf]

$5 per ball is a big difference in price. I've played with the prov1s before and didn't notice a huge difference vs a cheaper ball. I will say the prov1 does seem to spin more on the greens. I have a high handicap so the balls that I use are really not going to make a world of difference in my scoring. Nice review!

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Thanks, yes for now I think is not going to matter in my level, but I can see how it could make a little difference if I strike it on the sweetspot everytime

In the UK Inesis distance balls sell at 41 pence each, compared to over 3 pounds for a ProV1.I have played with them for over 6 months and like you I have found hardly any difference. Also they don't scuff or cut that easily. You might like to know Inesis make a putter that sells for just under 15 pounds and tested against a 300 pound Scotty Cameron putter, performed just as well.,I'm not employed by Inesis,in case you wonder, I am a pensioner, who appreciates good value products.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Agree, definitely a great value! I now use these balls all the time, not worth spending more. I actually bought an Inesis mallet putter a few months ago and I still use it. I only paid like Euro 40 for it. Inesis has some great products, including golf apparel.

[@nikhilgurunand]

Nice video 👍🏼 did you notice any difference in distance in when driving off the tee?

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Not much, but I due have a doubt on the balance of the ball, I think the pro v1s are perfectly balanced

[@kennymchardy]

Great video Eric 👍 I used this ball throughout the winter and as I still had a few left, into the summer too. Great ball and at my level I can’t notice any difference in majority of shots. The Inesis Tour ball at £20 per dozen is one to try if you haven’t yet and is better on the short game than the distance, but not by much 🏌️‍♂️

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Yes I was thinking about the Inesis Tour, I will definitely purchase them and I think I will switch to them if they are a little better than the 100 distance, they are still cheap.

[@kennymchardy]

The Backyard Golfer they stop a lot better on Summer greens and feel nice of short irons and putter. Off the driver, woods & rescue clubs I couldn’t tell the difference in feel

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

@@kennymchardy Thanks for the info 👍

[@DunnGolfing]

I thought pro v more consistent like more stop power but a pure shot will still stop so it's a balance between cost and performance 👍

There is a way to check the centre of gravity of golf balls, I'll see if there is a difference between these 2 balls.
