While they have been seeded on Tour for some time now and many amateurs who are a part of Team Titleist have had them arrive as a surprise to try out, today marks the official release of the all-new 2025 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls. Just what do you do when you are sitting atop the mountain when it comes to golf balls? Well, you keep innovating, and you don’t dare stop.

The 2025 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x Story
Back in October of last year, Titleist began seeding their new golf balls on the PGA Tour at the Shriner’s Open in Las Vegas, right in line with the celebration of their 25th anniversary of the number one ball in golf. In fact, in their first five weeks both the Pro V1 and Pro V1x got victories, once again launching the next generation of Titleist’s biggest offerings into the winner’s circle.

In case you are new to things though, here is your word of advice, don’t just assume that this new version of the winningest golf ball tandem in golf is a simple refresh, that just isn’t how Titleist rolls. No, we are talking about the golf ball company which has over 1,700 golf ball patents lining the walls of their R&D department. The one who had thirty-four patents on the creation of the original Pro V1 alone just over 25 years ago. This is a manufacturer which collects over five-million data points per year on their golf balls.
So, no, this isn’t a refresh, this is a continuation of the chase for perfection which Titleist prides themselves on. In fact, if you ask them what they want out of the release, this is one answer you will get:
“The golf ball has to do everything,” said Frederick Waddell, Titleist’s Director of Golf Ball Product Management. “It’s never just about maximizing one area – golfers need performance on every single shot. Each of our golf ball models is optimized for distance off the tee, and with 2025 Pro V1 and Pro V1x in particular, we’ve realized a speed gain while unlocking even better iron and wedge performance. All of which will help players shoot lower scores.”
It will surprise no one that the goal of the new versions was to find more speed off the tee, but more precision with the irons and spin with the wedges. You might say that is the goal every time, and you would be correct, in fact, I would hope that their continued goal is to improve all aspects of the designs.

With this generation, finding those things starts with the core. The high-gradient core here has undergone a complete change of formula. The new core has managed to increase what they are calling the “spin slope”, the ability to keep spin low off the tee but increase into the wedges. Additionally, it has also resulted in increased ball speed, and who doesn’t love that?
Of course, there are design aspects unique to each ball, but don’t worry, we have got you covered.
2025 Titleist Pro V1

The Pro V1 is the ball of the duo which offers the best combination of speed, spin and feel. The Pro V1 continues to be a mid-flight design that has low spin off the tee and maximum spin in the short game, all while keeping a soft overall feel. This year the Pro V1 is using the new high-gradient core and has a 388 tetrahedral dimple cover which is spherically tiled and optimizes distance while increasing consistency through the sky.
2025 Titleist Pro V1x

On the other side, the Pro V1x remains the higher flying, higher spinning, and firmer sibling to the Pro V1. It also features the new high-gradient design, but here it is via a dual-core that has to undergo even more quality checks due to its complexity. This core adds more speed and spin in the approach to take control to new levels. The cover here is made up of 348 tetrahedral dimples which add to the increased ball flight while aiding consistency through the wind.
The Details
The new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls from Titleist will officially be available worldwide on 1/25/25. Once again, both will be available in White as well as High Optic Yellow. Additionally, there will be ample customization options available upon release, including custom numbers and alignment options.

I’ve been playing the RCT versions of the 2023 ball for the past month or so. It’s made me start falling back in love with the them again.
I started off with PV1 but wasn’t getting great height with it so switched over to V1x. According to the AI I feed all of my trackman data to V1x helped me bump up my peak height around 12 foot which put me in a window I like.
I’m very very interested in trying out these 2025 balls. Does anyone know if and when RCT models are on the way?

We don’t know, but can certainly ask!

For JS, I would. Jeremy is a brilliant mind and one of the nicest people in the world. But yes, its a bit sterile haha
[/QUOTE]
I agree on the sterile setting. I am sure they didn’t want any distractions, but I noticed how dirty my monitor was (fingerprints) because of the white!
I played with a ProV1X again today (vs the left dash) and am liking the extra spin. I had multiple shots that stopped 2 feet from the ball mark.
I really like that Michael Madson (VP Golf Ball R&D) shows in the video’s how he loves his job.
The speed slope concept is so interesting to me. What they can do with materials is pretty amazing
I have to ask. Where are y’all getting the speed slope from?

I’ve been wondering the same tbh ?
Just over here like
did I miss a slope?
I do have to say, the Pro V series is the most found (ie LOST) brand on our course. Maybe because a lot play it or maybe they shouldn’t.
[QUOTE=”JB, post: 12868224, member: 3″]
Im going to give JS some serious **** about the sterility of that set.

It’s a single core background.
Great write up [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER]! I have never really been a fan of Titleist balls, but they clearly are doing something right with the use they see. Very cool to see them continue to chase better. The number of patents they have is mighty impressive. I find it interesting there is a different number of dimples between the proV1 and proV1x. If they were before, i had no clue till now.

Spin slope became speed slope quite quickly :ROFLMAO:

Yep, that’s my bad. My excitement messed with my brain to typing function. Definitely meant the Spin Slope is really cool in how they can increase wedge spin but keep driver spin low.

I don’t blame you for being excited!
Thats another name that keeps cropping up in so many of the video’s and information I read/watch, Mike Madson VP of Golf Ball R&D, is in so many of the articles. Really enjoyed his demeanor and the way he explained the process throughout the manufacture of the ball in the facility. Spending 20+ years in manufacturing while i was in the reserves, I really enjoyed the ball video as he walked Iona through the process.
Predominantly switched backed to the ProV1 last season. Looking forward to trying out the 2025 version.
Pumped to try the new ball. Dabbled with Callaway and Srixon off and on in 2024. Always seem to fall back on the standard Pro V1.
New packaging is sleek, much better than the last couple of iterations.

I agree. I’m usually ‘meh’ with companies going all-in on minimalistic designs, but this one is sharp. It’s certainly my favorite.
Saw the enhanced alignment versions in stock at my local Dicks Sporting Goods today. Will likely end up playing the enhanced alignment version of whichever ball i’m fit into at the Titleist Golf Ball Experience as I’ve gotten used to Triple Track over the years. The boxes and display in store is sharp, but will wait to see what I get fit into before purchasing more balls. Cannot wait.

Messed around a bit with the pv1 and pv1x.
The first is my current gamer, the next is the pv1x and the last is pv1. Data collected with my 50*

Great read, [USER=1579]@Jman[/USER] ! Thank you!
I know I’m a bit late to this discussion, but I must’ve looked right past the thread title and kept on moving. I haven’t gamed a ProV1/X in likely 20 years, mainly due to cost but also because I didn’t want to play the same golf ball that almost every one of my buddies played. I feel like I have tested almost every golf ball in this segment over the past years, but have not even given ProV1/X a look. I love that Titleist is continuing to push the envelope and innovate with this line and think this may be the year I not only give these a look, but an honest chance.

That seems strange to me that you have tried all the others except the winningest golf ball of the last 25 years.

Well, I’m a strange guy :ROFLMAO:
Honestly, while there were probably a few more factors in play, the majority of the reason can be found in two factors:
1. Cost – I just couldn’t justify the cost, especially when I was losing so many golf balls per round during a big part of that time frame.
2. Popularity – I have this struggle with doing something that is the popular choice. I’m not saying it makes any sense, but I just tend to push back on the popular choice, at least in most situations, just to be different from the masses.

Got it. We are all strange in our own rights!
I am shocked you have a bag full of name brand stuff and not components, just to buck the trend! :p
I bought a box of the new Pro V1s and I am super impressed with them, after a couple of sessions on TrackMan. In terms of numbers, they are pretty much interchangeable with Chrome Tours (at least for me), but they feel ever so slightly softer. I need to see how they play out on a real course with wind and other conditions, but I like them a lot.
