I still get a kick out of high handicap golfers that buy very expensive clubs and hit the ProV balls and get sucked in to thinking this is going to help their game.
I did a test once, about 10 years ago.

10 rounds at the same course, using only Pro V1's ... average score a bit over 80.

10 rounds at the same, above course, using balls I found in the woods. Average score, a little under 80

My average score from the Blues on Championship courses in TV, is about 77. I'll play any 3 piece ball with a urethane cover, that costs less than $2.50/ball. When I can't find 3 piece Urethane balls for less than $2.50, I'll be playing 2 piece balls, covered with whatever they're covered with.

Even Titleist reps will admit, Pro V1's are not the best ball choice, for the majority of recreational players.
