I would too!Was going to snag a box of these in yellow but with the buy 3 get one free taking ProV's down to $41 per box with the promo, I am going that route and holding off on these for now.

The feel off the wedge was not clicky but somewhat muted. I did get the sense that I was hitting the sweet spot by the sound all of the time which I know I wasn't. The Volvik was as good off the face of the putter as my AVX which to say not clicky.Great to hear some feedback - thank you.
Get any sense for feel?
Now having said that. If these were buy 3 get 1 free for $120, I might be swayed backI would too!
It's really funny you say that. I don't want to overstate this point, but I felt the same way at times. Moving to a firmer ball quickly reminded me who I really wasThe feel off the wedge was not clicky but somewhat muted.

Can you elaborate? Really on the fence with this one. Debating on trialing one box of these or taking the 3+1 V1x deal before it endsPutting these through the gauntlet of tests today in the Tech Studio. I like what I am seeing.
I couldn’t think of a more different ball from a Pro V1x. Not to say it wouldn’t deliver solid results, but they are on opposite ends of the Tour ball spectrum.Can you elaborate? Really on the fence with this one. Debating on trialing one box of these or taking the 3+1 V1x deal before it ends
I really like the height that the V1x delivers. Wasn't sure how this would stack up there. And I can take all the spin I can get expecially with irons (low spinner of the ball)
I get one is a lower compression softer feeling ball vs a firmer higher compression ball but I was more focused on their performance attributes (flight type, spin profile etc).I couldn’t think of a more different ball from a Pro V1x.

I agree, looking at the Volvik site is "almost as bad as the Wilson site. If your going to make a golf ball and be successful at it, at least throw some technical information about the product with a comparison cut-away.I get one is a lower compression softer feeling ball vs a firmer higher compression ball but I was more focused on their performance attributes (flight type, spin profile etc).
With Titleist I like that on their site it will tell you how they design the ball to be compared to others in their lineup:

With Volvik I go on their site and all it says is:
Extreme Soft Feel & Power Distance
– VU-X Urethane Cover
– Ultra Soft Core
– 336 Perfect Symmetric Dimple Pattern
– 70 Compression
I have no idea if its a low flying ball like an AVX, mid flier like a V1, High Flier like a V1x.
Doesn't say how many pieces it is. Just very vague. I read the homepage article and got some clues as to how it might work for me, but I feel like if Volvik wants to be taken serious in the urethane market game, they should probably beef up their information.
Just providing some constructive criticism as a previous Volvik ball user.
Was hoping to get some feedback after @JB posts earlier.
If you can source Pro V1x at $41/dozen and you know its ball flight and performance suit you perfectly, it's hard to see paying $40/dozen for the Volvik. Best case, you'd be hoping the XT Soft might be pretty close to Pro V1x performance.Can you elaborate? Really on the fence with this one.

They are not designed to be the same ball or even close. From Volvik that Titleist ball would be closer to Condor X.If you can source Pro V1x at $41/dozen and you know its ball flight and performance suit you perfectly, it's hard to see paying $40/dozen for the Volvik. Best case, you'd be hoping the XT Soft might be pretty close to Pro V1x performance.
Unless there's some specific benefit to the Volvik XT Soft that Pro V1x can't offer, it doesn't add up on price alone. Not compared to the 4-for-3 deal.
My general rule is, if you're going to shop on price, then make sure you're getting a REALLY good price. Not sure an un-discountable $40/doz qualifies.
You make valid points. I probably shouldn't compromise not knowing what this ball would do for me and my game. The V1x is proven and I know what I am going to get. Durability, nice shade of yellow, high quality, higher flight, high spin, control around the greens. And with the loyalty deal a similar price.If you can source Pro V1x at $41/dozen and you know its ball flight and performance suit you perfectly, it's hard to see paying $40/dozen for the Volvik.

Sorry, not ignoring you. I go to bed early and my weekends are a bit crammed these days.@Hawk -saw this quote in the homepage article,
In general, we found that, on full swings, the XT soft produced medium ball speeds.......... than some of the other current “Tour” golf balls on the market.
How much ball speed loss are you seeing with this one vs other premium balls? We talking only 1 mph or something more?
And do you feel that is a result of it being a lower 70 compression ball or due more to construction or materials they use when compared to other brands, etc?
This should be fun to follow.Stay tuned to the home page for some forum testing on XT Soft.
