2023 Titleist Prov1 & Prov1x Review

[@vedrfolnirvedrfolnir6840]

Would love to see an in-depth head-to-head of all the major 2023 premium balls (Pro V, ZStar, TP5, Tour B etc.) including separate videos for regular and X model comparisons. 👍

[@ScottDreyfus]

You will

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Would be cool alright

[@Citizensofthecountry]

Same. Very interested in seeing that video

[@garyrunevitch8521]

Yes, my thoughts exactly!

[@seanpeacock5595]

Done on which day of the week?

[@johnhoie1]

I was fitted by a Titleist rep a few weeks ago, trying 5 different models across their line, including the new ProV1 and ProV1x. My best option was the new ProV1x because, at 74, I need a higher spinning ball to maximize carry. The old idea that the x model was for faster swings is not true. BTW, he said that for the first time, more tour pros are using the x now. It’s like Tiger’s preference. He doesn’t play Titleist, but his model is the highest spinning Bridgestone. So I guess spin is in. Though none of the modern balls spin as much as the old balatas.

[@JM-qn3tf]

Gonna try it today wish me luck

[@fig996]

Thanks for sharing this. I just spent a mortgage payment on some Prov1x’s RCT for my sim and have been having second thoughts. At 65 with bad shoulders my speed has dropped and I figured that the extra spin would help.

[@THRILLHO__]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but more spin = less distance if you don’t have the club head speed/ball speed to counter it.

[@sethbeiden1305]

I can never get enough ball testing from TXG, love it. Cannot wait to see how Left Dash (current favorite) and the new ProV1 (second favorite) compare on the 2023.

[@swingking83]

Would love to see a comparison between this years model and the last model. Would also love to see a comparison between brands . Thank you for the great content

[@mikeb1149]

Was lucky enough to get my white box last summer. Have never been a 'Titleist guy', but signed up for ball testing, and got picked. Had just started experimenting with some recycled AVX's a couple weeks before. Was having success with the ball but scores were stagnant. Played about a dozen rounds with the proto balls. Only lost 1 of each. The '1's' felt good off the club, putted well and on average shaved a stroke. The 'X's' were insane. Flew high and straight. Wound up with several PB drives. In one case I hit a ball 35 yards further than I ever had on that hole. Best drive previously had left me 135 yds to the pin. The 1X took me right to the 100 yard marker! The 'X' on several occasions got me front 9 scores of 40 which is 5 strokes better than average. Can only hope the 'formula' makes it into production and that they make them in yellow. Still going to choke on a $6 a ball price tag, but a ball that demonstrably lowers scores? Yeah, I'll buy them.

[@ironmangolfer824]

Prov1x is my new gamer. Same distance from previous gamer, Bridgestone Tour B X, just as good into the wind, better feel off the putter and better check up with my 56 wedge chipping/pitching. Tested the ProV1 and that would be my second choice as a gamer

[@philrothmann7926]

Great video. As a left dash player would be great to see the '23 ProV1x vs Left Dash to see how much LD DNA is in the X and how close they are!

[@arandmusrnam]

my favorite Pro V model is the left dash version. By far the most consistent for myself.

[@davechristensen7192]

Love to hear that my favorite ball (Pro V1x) is still performing! #1 ball in golf for a reason :)

[@richiestw]

At the start of January ('Tech Month'), out of all the new releases and all the different reviews from every KZbin channel, this specific video is the one I was looking forward to the most for some reason :D

[@timothybonfield7258]

And the Srixon white boxes? Already tested? Video coming soon? And a good old fashioned comparison video would be GREATLY appreciated. Srixon vs Titleist vs Taylormade vs Callaway vs Bridgestone.

[@joeycaps77]

Would love to see land angle and overall height. That could be a difference maker for a lot of us

[@jasonhildebrandt1447]

I watch your vids and catch up every few weeks. Matty’s swing has changed a bunch and is sure looking good. Nothing better than TXG online. 😊

[@markelroy7774]

the show is so good when the both of you are together!

[@ftball90]

I’ve been waiting on this video. Really would like to see a head to head with all of the comparable big name brands, x models across the board and standard across the board.

[@CWTRNG]

Thanks. No comparison vs previous models?

[@DerekJamesLynn]

I just started watching your channel. Really enjoy it. Keep up the good work.

[@ryanrichardson9915]

I was just wondering when this video was coming out!Thanks boys,

[@djmico0713]

Ian hits it right on the nose: I want a ProV1 with ProV1x performance around the green. I always bounce around, but usually go back to ProV1 by the end of a season. I played TP5 for a while, but it suffered off the driver. BXS got caught in the wind too often. I’ve been playing Chrome Soft X the last couple of month. It performs as I want, I just wish it was a tad softer on the feel

[@alexmckay7324]

Interesting. What do you think someone should lean to if they need to maybe get the ball down a bit but also struggle with consistency around the green?

[@donkee9]

Funny you mentioned bxs in the wind. I wanted to like that ball so bad. I never hit a memorable shot with them. I liked the bx though. Finally gave up experimenting with balls and just stuck with the pro v line.

[@stevemitchell4656]

AVX…

[@djmico0713]

@@stevemitchell4656 tried the AVX and found it too soft with long clubs and too low launching/spinning off wedges

[@kriley10]

I want the V1 feel with V1x spin performance

[@user-so9sp9fz7x]

You guys always do the best comparison😊 Thanks a lot!

[@shiversbasketball]

For my game, the Pro V1x Left Dash is the holy grail of golf balls. The high flight, the distance, with serviceable short game spin are just a wonder! I currently have 10 dozen of the left dash and will be stocking up even more for this upcoming season.

[@thedadgolfer]

So you’re the guy that bought them all

[@BAA3595]

@@thedadgolfer I bought 16 boxes of them, whoops.....

[@lkae4]

Left Dash is A++ but Pro V1 is A+ for me. If Titleist made a yellow or green Left Dash I might grab 16 dozen though, lol.

[@donkee9]

I love the left dash I like that it feels firmer off the woods but a more penetrating flight with my irons for me. Wish they came in yellow though

[@tjbooger2508]

I'm a left dash guy as well, luckily my golf shop has like 12 dozen and no one here knows what they are 😅😁

[@danlee1211]

Would love them to do a comparison of the 2021 Pro V1 and X to the 2023s. The difference I have found is VERY SMALL that unless you are paid to play the new ones (Pros) and get them for free, I would use up the 2021s before considering paying for the 2023s. Performance I found is really the same.

[@josephdrago7777]

Would like to see previous prov1/prov1x vs new prov1/prov1x

[@SePhO11]

Its going to take a lot to get me out of playing the Z-Star XV, its a great ball and the £15 a dozen saving on Pro V’s is rather nice.

[@Buckdax]

just dont play a suck-ball and it doesnt matter. we're no tour and never will be 🤩

[@SteelTiiTan]

always enjoy ball reviews from you guys so I know what the specs are for when I pull one out of the woods :)

[@TRIKushbeachside]

I know this is a bit late but you guys should do a video matrix of all the new major brands. New pro vs , tp5s, tour bxs , chrome soft etc.. maybe at 2 swing speeds maybe 120/100 driver

[@professionalgolfinstruction]

Was hoping you were going to do a comparison between 2022 and 2023 versions, not so much between the X and X1 as we all know that…I can only imagine the reason you didn’t is because there really is no major performance difference? LOVE to see honest performance data supporting the higher priced balls.

[@jaschatetlow5490]

Always love the Titleist content.

[@vikrampitre2343]

Speed of the golfer - you are right! Z Star gives me more distance at 90 mph than V1 and more spin at the short game. Best of both words … for me at 11 hcp & where I’m currently with my game.

[@kevinallibone9214]

Would be good to see putting added in to the golf ball test to really take account of feel as that’s where I start with which ball I’d play.

[@bobpaine4987]

Great review and explanations guys, I was fortunate enough to be in on the white box test of these balls and I did see the difference but it was cold when I tested in Northern Minnesota, fortunately I still have a couple of each and will try them in AZ when I get down there in a couple weeks that should be fun . I have also found Titliest to be the most consistent ball performance compared to other brands.

[@rlbjr]

Definitely need to compare these vs the left dot and left dash.

[@cleveland2022]

Great video. Impressive performance of the ball and the Golfer

[@Ibizassini]

There was a cool video of Bryson talking about how he sets up the ball dimples for his short putts to gain consistency - wonder what pattern is easier in that regards

[@soldsold1]

I wondered this too when I saw the huge dimple on the prov1 x

[@joshlindquist834]

Thanks! Did you feel the prov1x is firmer than the previous version?

[@clubchampionmedia]

Feels about the same

[@Nick-wm2wh]

played tour bx most of last year. really noticed tighter flights/dispersion. didnt over spin balls, maintained control greenside and wedges always stopped on time. This is making me consider going back to the prov1 lol, interested to see if bridgestone releases something new too

[@cryptoking8060]

X is best of all worlds been playing it for years. No probs spinning it around the greens even on really short shots but definitely tighter flight and longer off tee balls for me. Only ball challenges it for my game is the AVX which I love.

[@nmaschas]

Like shivers I play left dash. Looks like they brought the x closer to left dash. Would love for you to throw the left dash in for a RT comparison.

[@grantlinstead7987]

I play Bridgestone Tour B X for awhile but I have spinning it too much with the irons. I switch to TP5x and it an amazing ball. However, I want just a tad more spin so I'm currently testing the new Pro V1. I haven't got to take it out on a round yet because of weather. This video has me excited to test it this weekend!

[@robchapman3514]

I played the tour b x and found like all bridgestone balls they scuff up and discoloured easily. I switched to the srixon z star Diamond. Same spin as the bridgestone but more durable.

[@teerex8488]

Can you throw the left dash and left dot in there and compare the whole family please. I’m dying to see them all stacked up against a one another. Currently a left dash guy and considering 2023 PV1X to get a little more bite around the green. Want to see how they all compare. Thanks

[@golf007sd2]

Informative. The last ball I tried, in relation to gamer (Vice Pro +) was the Wilson Staff. My testing process start on the putting green and from their I take it to the tee box. The feel of how a ball react of my putter is the vital. The iron and driver, comes down to spin and sound. Distance for most part within acceptable yardage.

[@justinrivet1085]

Left dot is my favorite ball ever made! I Hope Titleist releases the left dot to retail

[@ww-oo7ic]

they just did. it's the 2023 prov1

[@minisandgolf8933]

I play Maxfli tour exclusively..I've narrowed it down the the Tour X from the 3 current offerings. Though all 3 are super solid. Though it's definitely interesting to see how the new ProV's stack up. I really enjoy the ball reviews, thanks fellas!

[@corbinchristensen1555]

I'm very much the same. I like the feel and flight of the regular tour though. Been a maxfli guy since TXG first reviewed them and then the My Golf spy guys confirming its an excellent ball. For the price I think they're the best ball on the market

[@scottyking8908]

Can you guys run a test of the new ProV1x vs ProV1x left dash to see if they have closed the gap on those two?

[@NGB96]

Would love to see a review on the new srixon line-up and how the z star diamond is performing on the trackman

I always prefered hitting Prov1 over the X but I love the click feel of the X putting. Thats why I now play Bridgestone...lol

[@justinjames9299]

can you add the new AVX numbers as comparison?

[@sjgraci]

You can't play a better performance ball than Titleist. Very much worth the price. Looking forward to on course testing these this Spring. Currently playing the 2021 ProV1 but the Left Dash may get put back in the bag as well. Would love to see some head to head comparisons from TXG on the 2021 vs. 2023 balls.

[@JoshuaZwilling]

Awesome stuff! I love all your videos and really trust the data and the opinions you guys put forth! One request... Maxfli came out with a new tour ball as well for 2023. Can you do a review on that ball soon and compare it to this test? The 2021 Maxfli was a GREAT ball and the performance was right up there with the Prov1. In my opinion and from numbers I saw in my own game I would guess the 2021 Maxfli CG was very similar in performance to the Left Dot ProV1. Would love to see how the 2023 ball performs and see if it has improved as well and can still keep pace with Titleist. Thanks!

[@TylerBoothGolf]

Played a lot of TP5x last year & really enjoyed the updates they provided. I also started to play some of the yellow ZStar's for winter (usually on sale) & really enjoyed the feel Srixon provided. And now with Titleist coming around with the latest updates to ProV's, it might have me coming right back to those again! Either way, awesome to see how competitive the golf ball space is becoming.

I play the V1x for spin around the greens. The feel is firmer that the V1 but it's not a problem, even when putting.

[@ryang1910]

I went out end of last season and demoed most golf balls on the market. I was hoping that chrome soft x, tp5x or prov1x would win. I played a few rounds of golf. One day was the finale. I was shocked that Taylormade tp5 was my longest. I loved the drives, feel, and performance. It didn’t work out the way I expected. Grateful to grab some off-season price on a bunch of dozen. I appreciate the review, but the lower spin of the driver is an issue for me. Not an asset

[@claytonjohnston25]

Been playing TP5 for about 3 years now. This year I’ve been thinking about trying the new Pro V1x due to the small fast greens at my home course. Accuracy on that course is far more important than distance. Narrow fairways and small greens means shot placement is the key. 3 time US Open Qualifier Course.

[@iceboss23]

Hey guys love the content. Seems like a huge part of the updates, and differences between many balls in general, is how they react aerodynamically, which the software can't/doesn't account for. Would love to see these type of tests done outdoors using trackman to get a better gauge of actual flight differences. Thoughts?

[@James__123]

Seems like the two are very similar apart from feel. The "differences" for the most part had overlapping standard deviations.

[@GRIFF22]

Guys will you be putting the left dot and left dash in a review alongside these to see the full range together?
