First Look – 2011 Titleist Pro V1 Prototype
The original Titleist Pro V1 was first introduced to the PGA Tour in Las Vegas in October of 2000. Billy Andrade was one of 47 players to put it into play and ended up winning giving the Pro V1 its first win. Over the years, there have been slight changes to the Pro V1 and in 2003 the Pro V1x was added to the line. It has been 10 years since and Titleist recently debuted the latest generation Pro V1 to the various tours in anticipation of its 2011 release.
They recently tested the 2011 Titleist Pro V1 Prototype ball that some of you might have already received in the mail:
- It remains a 3-piece design with a large solid core, thin mantle layer and thin cover.
- Bench testing indicated that the 2011 Pro V1 Prototype has similar cover hardness as the 2009 version and is approximately 5% lower in compression.
- Initial human testing indicates that it is more durable and stays whiter in appearance longer.
- Some of our GolfBallTest.org testers also indicated that it is longer than the previous version.
* The new Titleist Pro V1 & Pro V1x are in their new Spring 2011 Update
Independent & Unbiased Golf Ball Testing
GolfBallSelector.com is a member-supported / advertisement-free service. We conduct independent and rigorous testing of golf balls and are brand-agnostic when it comes to our recommendations for each specific member.
In choosing the right golf ball, we believe that golfers should look for a ball that is right for their unique game – and consider trading off objectives such as driver distance, sand wedge spin and feel on and around the green. Golf balls will perform differently for different types of golfers given the golfer’s swing type and their own unique mix of ball speed launch angle and ability to spin and control the golf ball.

Pro V balls are design to fail after 3+ holes of play. They scuff easily and after 1 round theme ball will never provide the same flight nor will it be able to be used for a decent put with all those severe scuff marks. As a result, I will continue using and referring my golf friends to the best value golf ball in the market. Taylor Made TP Black At 30.00 per dz. it is a steal.
Longer drives
Greenside forgiveness and controll
Durable construction and above all more reliable puts it allows me more confident puts. Lowered my HCP from a 22 to a 14 PROVEN!!!
