Which ProV1x is this?

[bob_fish]

I will admit, I have lost track of which ball is which in the ProV1 vs ProV1x debate. I recently found a stash of balls that I forgot I had and now don't remember which version this ball is? Any help would be appreciated. I think this was the ball that is now the ProV1, but am not sure.

That is the '15-'16 model (stem-separated arrow). The '13-'14 versions are also gray-filled, but a one-piece arrow.

From what I have read and experienced, the relative compression of the Pro V1 remains near 90, while the V1x is about 100. The V1 remains 3-piece and the V1x 4-piece.

 

It's also been written that the new V1x spins more than the V1. Prior to the '17-'18 models, the V1 was the higher-spinning. As far as feel, the V1x is firmer, as you would expect.

 

Will a '15 V1x play similarly to a '19 V1? Spin-wise, probably, but the V1x will feel firmer. Both are great balls in my view.

Thank you, very much appreciated.
