Summary

476P: Just because most Touring Pros use them and their huge marketing budget, is the Titleist ProV1 and ProV1x the best ball for the amateur golfer? TJ Gillen of Titleist introduces us to the all new ProV1 and ProV1x and makes some pretty compelling arguments on how these balls can make you a better player tee to green. Even to host Fred Greene, a skeptic trying to dismiss the marketing, the value of playing the same ball all the time makes sense. After years of asking, Fred finally learns why ProV doesn’t stand for ProVisional!Download the golf ball fitting evaluation scorecard from our show notes.We’d like to know more about the Golf Smarter Community.
