New Titleist Pro V1 2011 Ball

First Review of the New 2011 Titleist Pro V1 Prototype

The original Titleist Pro V1 was first introduced to the PGA Tour in Las Vegas in October of 2000. Billy Andrade was one of 47 players to put it into play and ended up winning giving the Pro V1 its first win. Over the years, there have been slight changes to the Pro V1 and in 2003 the Pro V1x was added to the line. It has been 10 years since and Titleist recently debuted the latest generation Pro V1 to the various tours in anticipation of its 2011 release.

They recently tested the 2011 New Titleist Pro V1 Prototype golf ball:

• It remains a 3-piece design with a large solid core, thin mantle layer and thin cover.
• Bench testing indicated that the 2011 Pro V1 Prototype has similar cover hardness as the 2009 version and is approximately 5% lower in compression.
• Initial human testing indicates that it is more durable and stays whiter in appearance longer.
• Some of our testers also indicated that it is longer than the previous version.
