Introducing the New Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x Golf Balls 2017 Models
Available in Golf Shops Worldwide Beginning Jan. 25
FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Jan. 25, 2017)
– The new Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls are the most advanced, best
performing golf balls ever stamped with the Titleist script. Precisely
engineered using the most sophisticated golf ball technology, new Pro V1 and Pro
V1x provide total performance for every player and deliver unmatched quality and
consistency.
The overwhelming choice of players at every level of competitive golf and
best-selling models around the world, Pro V1 and Pro V1x continually set the
standard for golf ball performance through relentless research and development
innovation and an industry-leading manufacturing process. Advancements for 2017
include new core and aerodynamic designs:
• The longest Pro V1 ever, 2017 Pro V1 has been reengineered with a Next
Generation 2.0 ZG Process Core that delivers longer distance on all shots
through lower long game spin and faster ball speed, while maintaining the very
soft feel and superior short-game performance that Pro V1 players demand. A new
spherically tiled 352 tetrahedral dimple design produces a penetrating
trajectory with even more consistent flight. • The extraordinary distance of the
2017 Pro V1x, featuring a ZG Process Dual Core, is enhanced by a new spherically
tiled 328 tetrahedral dimple design that produces a high trajectory with its
most consistent flight ever. • 2017 Pro V1 and Pro V1x continue to deliver
superior short game scoring performance. The soft Urethane Elastomer cover
system used on both models is precisely formulated to deliver Drop-and-Stop
greenside control with soft feel, providing golfers with the performance and
confidence to hit it closer to the hole. The soft Urethane Elastomer cover,
created by a chemical reaction that takes place during the casting process, also
provides long-lasting durability throughout the course of play.
• Choosing between the total performance of Pro V1 and Pro V1x, golfers will
notice differences in flight, feel and spin. Pro V1 flies lower with a
penetrating trajectory and feels softer. Pro V1x flies higher, has a slightly
firmer feel, and spins more on iron shots.
• Every Pro V1 and Pro V1x is manufactured by Titleist associates in the
company’s state-of-the-art golf ball manufacturing facilities, to the highest
performance and quality specifications in the industry. This investment in
quality control ensures the most consistent performance from ball to ball, and
dozen to dozen. This is critical to allowing golfers to consistently execute the
same types of shots, round after round.
“Every time we set out to develop new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls, our
challenge is to set an even higher benchmark for golf ball performance,” said
Michael Mahoney, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing. “We are
constantly in the field talking to golfers of all skill levels about what we can
do to help them shoot lower scores. At the same time, the Titleist Golf Ball R&D
and Operations teams are working together to develop new golf ball technologies
that deliver performance golfers may not yet realize they need. It’s because of
this ownership and commitment at every step of the process that we’re able to
deliver meaningful performance improvements and make the best golf balls in the
game even better.”
“No matter their playing ability, golfers have a simple choice when it comes to
choosing the best golf ball for their game,” said Bill Morgan, Senior Vice
President, Titleist Golf Ball R&D. “Either Pro V1 or Pro V1x will give you the
best opportunity to shoot your lowest score. The decision purely comes down to
flight, feel and spin. As we’ve told the pros, while you may consider yourself a
‘V’ or an ‘X’ player, we think this is a great time for you to reevaluate both
Pro V1 and Pro V1x to see which 2017 model is the best fit for your game.”
PLAYER VALIDATION: New Pro V1 and Pro V1x have achieved immediate validation and
success across the worldwide professional tours. Jordan Spieth, playing new Pro
V1x for the first time in competition, won the Australian Open in mid-November.
Two weeks later, Brandon Stone played new Pro V1 in his victory at the European
Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Championship. In total, more than 100 players worldwide
have put the new models in play – including Adam Scott (Pro V1), Jimmy Walker
(Pro V1x), Kevin Kisner (Pro V1), Webb Simpson (Pro V1), Charley Hoffmann (Pro
V1), Ian Poulter (Pro V1x) and Thongchai Jaidee (Pro V1x) – since the tour
seeding and validation process began on the PGA Tour in late October.
• ADAM SCOTT: “I think the remarkable thing with the new Pro V1 is how far it
goes now.

New Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x Golf Balls: Player Validation
FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Jan. 25, 2017) – Prior to their market introduction, Pro V1
and Pro V1x undergo a rigorous player testing and validation process with tour
players, PGA Professionals and amateurs of all skill levels.
In total, the R&D testing and validation process for 2017 Pro V1 and Pro V1x
included more than 80,000 golfers of all skill levels who received numerous
iterations of prototypes throughout the two-year development process. This
included six different double-blind prototype tests during the summer and fall
of 2015 that were instrumental in determining the final 2017 designs.
Beginning in late October 2016, final Pro V1 and Pro V1x prototypes were seeded
across the worldwide professional tours for validation by the best players in
the world:
• Jordan Spieth began practicing with the 2017 Pro V1x at his home in Dallas. A
few weeks later, he put the new ball in play for the first time in competition
at the Australian Open. He won the event with a birdie on the first hole of a
three-man playoff.
Quoting Jordan Spieth: “I put new Pro V1x in play in Australia and in the first
week we won. What I noticed immediately was the improved flight. It held its
line in the crosswinds better. A couple shots that were going off line stayed
closer to the fairway or closer to the green, which allowed me to save par when
I may have been in trouble. Golf is a game of misses. When you mishit one, if
it’s not really going as far off line, that makes a significant difference for
us, and it makes even more of a difference for amateurs.”
• Adam Scott teed up 2017 Pro V1 for the first time at the same event, following
a week of practice with the new model near his home in Australia.
Quoting Adam Scott: “I think the remarkable thing with the new Pro V1 is how far
it goes now. I’m hitting it longer than I ever have but I also have that soft
feel like when I grew up playing a balata golf ball – it’s incredibly soft.”
“The flight with the new Pro V1 is exactly what I'm looking for. It just wants
to stay up in the air with that penetrating ball flight. That’s a really nice
feeling when I can ease back on a shot and the ball flight I’m looking for, even
when it’s into the wind.”
• Two weeks later, Brandon Stone played new Pro V1 in his seven-shot victory at
the European Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek, following a
second-place finish with the new model the week prior on the Sunshine Tour.
Quoting Brandon Stone: “I’m always open to try new product made by Titleist as I
know they improve on every model. I played the weekend in Dubai with the new Pro
V1 prototype and really enjoyed the performance around the greens. My next event
was the Lion of Africa Cape Town Open. Finishing second, it validated the
performance which gave me the confidence I needed heading into Leopard Creek. At
Leopard Creek my stats around the greens were the best they had been in months
without compromising on distance and ball flight control with the long game.”
• Stone is among a growing list of traditional Pro V1x players who have tested
both new models and decided that 2017 Pro V1 now fits their game best. Kevin Na
opened 2017 by switching to new Pro V1 at the Sony Open.
Quoting Kevin Na: “I previously played the Pro V1x, but I tested the New Pro V1
while I was home during the offseason. I tested it both inside and outside on
the launch monitor, and most importantly, I played several rounds with it and
hit every conceivable shot that I would have in competition. I immediately loved
the feel and flight of it and I did not lose any distance compared to the Pro
V1x. I was most impressed by the consistency it gave me on the wedge and short
iron shots into the wind. Those are the scoring shots where you need your golf
ball to perform the same every time and the New Pro V1 did.”
• Graeme Storm had not played a Titleist golf ball in competition for more than
nine years until he teed up new Pro V1x at the European Tour’s BMW SA Open in
mid-January. Storm won the event, triumphing on the third hole of a sudden-death
playoff with the world’s second-ranked golfer, who was also playing 2017 Pro
V1x. The victory marked Storm’s first since trusting Pro V1x to win the Open de
France ALSTOM in 2007. Following the 2008 season, Storm switched golf ball
brands and had not won since.
Quoting Graeme Storm: “I put the new Titleist ball in last week and won my first
tournament in 10 years. The first thing I noticed when I put the new ball in
play was that I was getting farther distance, I think it was probably 10-15
yards. I was getting great spin control with my irons into the greens, and it
obviously worked with the putter which was fantastic.”
• A week later at the European Tour’s Abu Dhabi Championship, Tommy Fleetwood
teed up 2017 Pro V1x for the first time in competition. It was also Fleetwood’s
first time playing a Titleist golf ball as a professional. He posted a
final-nine 31 on Sunday to win the event, earning his first European Tour
victory in more than three years.
• In total, more than 100 players worldwide have put the new models in play –
including Jimmy Walker (Pro V1x), Kevin Kisner (Pro V1), Angel Cabrera (Pro
V1x), Billy Horschel (Pro V1x), Zach Johnson (Pro V1x), Chris Kirk (Pro V1),
Webb Simpson (Pro V1), Charley Hoffmann (Pro V1), Ian Poulter (Pro V1x) and
Thongchai Jaidee (Pro V1x) – as the momentum continues across the worldwide
professional tours.
