The end display has the spin preferences and I guess I missed something. When did they flip flop?

That is what they have been for a while right? A higher compression ball will spin more won't it?
Well the guy at Dicks who has been there for 11 years said that it has flip flopped as I thought. I have always thought the X was sold as the less spin option. I'm confused which is normal for me.I was under the impression that the X was always the firmer/spinnier option but I could be misremembering.

Thanks JB, no idea why I thought the opposite.

I was always told the same thing from local golf shops. V was for more greenside spin and x was for less. The harder x was for higher swing speed players and the V was for slower swing speeds.
It wasn't until I started reading threads here that I was able to get correct info... from the testing staff and the manufacturers themself. The golf shops will tell you all sorts of crazy stuff.

If the shop isn't educating their staff, the staff are left on their own for their own education aka they just make it up or go what they read on the internet.
Popeye, the gentleman at Dick's is incorrect. Spin is caused from the compression of the core on full swings and the Pro V1x has always been the firmer golf ball. As I mentioned, THP spoke with Titleist about this and even filmed a THP TV spot (Pro V1 misnomers) that will be airing in our PGA Show coverage that is coming out (first two episodes already out) this week.
I think a lot of people had this same issue in mind, which is why we decided to put the THP TV spot together.
So this is what I always saw, but I thought it translated to the short game as well. The X is less off the driver but more in the short game. That is what I did not know.
