If a ball does not meet a check point it is tossed. And there are a lot of checkpoints. More costly.

The average player will get more help with a golf lesson than a golf ball change. The ball will not save you anywhere near the strokes that learning better technique will. BUT, the ball is an easier road to maintain your illusion.

Unlike other manufacturers Titleist does not pay their Pros for playing the ball. While other ball manufacturers do. Tiger plays the Bridgestone because it's the best ball in golf,LOL. He has millions of reasons to play it.

Now that being said, the illusion that these balls are just like a Pro V1 is just that, wishful thinking. A Kia isn't a BMW.........

So I asked, what is the best way to get a Pro V1 at a lower price. I was told buy the X-Out
Pro V1. They use them for range balls as well. I asked whats the matter with them. I was told they have passed all the tests, BUT, we were not totaling happy with the paint job. Other companies will take balls that did not pass a test and put a different name on them.

So, no matter what Titleist Product you buy, their quality control/consistency outshines everyone else by a mile. So, if your looking for a long term solution to continually lowering your score, its not the ball or the club, its learning how use them. But, like most folks, it's more fun to stay in an illusion....and manufacturers feed that illusion to stay in business....

Off topic but do all of their balls go thru the same QC or is it just the ProV1? I'm hitting the Titleist Velocity because I like the name and need the lower spin numbers (kinda wild off of the tee if you know what I mean). As it's their low end ball....is it as consistent ball to ball as their premium balls?
