I recently purchased some used Pro V1/V1x balls in AAAA quality. I wanted to try them out and alternated them on the course this past Sunday.
My question is, why would I slice with the Pro V1x when I hit straight with the Pro V1. I understand that the Pro V1 is supposed to be softer than the V1x, but that the V1 is supposed to spin more than the V1x.
I thought maybe there was a problem with one particular V1x since they were used balls but tried to others from the lot and had the same result. My typical miss is a pull. So I had 2 missed fairways from pulls using the Pro V1 ball, and 3 from slices all using a different Pro V1x ball.
I really didn't notice much difference between the two balls in their flight with my irons, or on their spin/landing on approach shots, or putting. There were both nice and straight on chips/pitches. I holed out for birdie on the first hole, but my round was down hill from there...
