Protest the Pro V1
Hondabuff ·


After being a loyal fan of the ProV1 I have to let go. The price is out of control. After Tax it is almost $50 a dozen. The NXT Tour ball is the ball I'm now playing and have gained a full club in my irons but lost driver distance and lost the bite on wedges I have grown used to. Even though I shoot more consistant scores with the NXT Tour, I have fond memories of the Pro V1. Spinning off greens into into bunkers and knee deep in the pond just to save a 5 dollar ball. Oh well...good buy ProV1

I firmly believe the ProV is overrated due to the price. It's one of those things that people buy because certain people play them......Ok I better stop talking about it now.

For me 2007 TaylorMade TP Red/Black and Srixon Z-URS/Z-URC are the best value for money premium ball. IMO they play as good as the Pro V1 and easily half the price. Not only that I found these one alot more durable.
Thumbs up to the Bridestone E5 and E6 as well which are very solid and cheaper still. I use these on my fun rounds and play the ones I mentioned for club champs etc. I recommend buying used ones from a reputable company see how you like them and buy them new.
I also sell a S**t load of new Pro V's with various company logos that are $8 USD cheaper than the retail ones. If you still want to play the Pro V's on special rounds then these are a great option.

I disagree 100 percent, just recently I performed a test(twice that is)between these two balls Prov1x and tour ix, My Findings, I found the Prov1x to be longer off the tee by 5-10 yards, and the same off the irons, but short game the Prov1x was far superior, and the feel off the putter was so much better for the Prov1x... Price of a ball doesnt matter, I just want the best ball for me, I went out and bought 12 boxes of Prov1x's to stock up for a long time.......
Good luck with your ball of choice, I hope it gives you better scores

I should start selling my golfing wares in Switzerland as well NZ. That price is horrendous and I thought it was bad here $99 NZD retail which is approx 77 USD. I shouldn't complain too much as I make a nice profit selling these

Agree with everything TM Golf Guy said. I played Callaway HX Tours last year and will be gaming the Tour IX this year. Callaways premium balls are easily 15 yards longer than a pro V off the tee for me and feel better off the irons. Wedges are about the same.
I also really like the Taylormade TP reds. You can get last year's model for $25/dozen new.
Alternatives would be Wilson ZIP and TopFlite Gamer, which are rediculously cheap and are pretty descent balls. IF anyone is on a tight budget, I would highly recommend those two.

Well said! If you're protesting, then why support Fortune Brands marketing budget? After all, they are a 'branding' company so mainly driven by advertising and endorsement $$$, which brainwashes consumers. Have to admit they are very good at it....
Lots of tour guys switching to Cally i and Ix
The e5+ and 330s are better balls anyway, and
If protesting, then keep feeding them marketing cash, otherwise BOYCOTT and find a better ball, they are out there, lots of 'em.
