The 1 Pro V1 and Pro V2021x will be available from January 27 in golf stores around the world. Each of the elements that make up these balls (core, enveloping layer, outer shell, aerodynamics), is equipped with new technologies, including an optimization of the cells (388 for the Pro V1, and 348 for the Pro V1x) to produce an exceptional distance and constant theft.

This combination further enhances the performance of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x, the most reliable and efficient balls on the market.

The performance of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x 2021

From the world's best players to amateurs of all skill levels, the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x are designed for players who value performance above all else. Both 2021 models offer longer distance, increased Drop-and-Stop ™ control around the greens, smoother feel and durability over time while retaining their unique characteristics in terms of flight, touch and spin.

The new Pro V1 offers the best combination of speed, spin and touch, it best meets the needs of the majority of golfers. The Pro V1 flies lower than the Pro V1x, it describes a penetrating trajectory and has a very soft feel.

The new Pro V1x produces fast, high flight, and achieves the desired spin depending on the shot played. The Pro V1x is designed for players who want a high trajectory and greater spin than that obtained with the Pro V1, with a slightly firmer feel.

“When a golfer chooses the Pro V1 or the Pro V1x, they are choosing the ultimate performance. Our R&D and Operations teams have spent years designing and incorporating new technologies into every component of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x 2021. When it comes to the performance and quality of these products, we will always do our best to help golfers to play at their best and score as low as possible. "

Titleist is at the forefront of multicomponent technology because we precisely design them to work together to achieve overall performance and extreme consistency on every shot.

• Reformulated ZG Process 2.0 cores. The solid core of the Pro V1 and the dual core of the ProV1x ensure more distance, while providing a softer compression feel.
• Wraparound layer high flexing faster. It increases the speed of the ball and decreases its spin. This highly resilient high speed ionomer was originally developed and validated for the Pro V1x Left Dash.
• New outer shell in elastomeric urethane, softer. The Pro V1 and Pro V1x now feature an even softer outer shell, which increases spin and provides better control in small games.
• New arrangement of the cells in tetrahedral mosaics. The 388 cells of the Pro V1, and the 348 of the Pro V1x are optimally arranged to provide maximum distance and consistent flight. The Pro V1 keeps its penetrating trajectory, while the Pro V1x will fly higher than the previous ones.

Aerodynamic revolution

The new blister patterns that the Pro V1 and Pro V1x feature (first complete renewal of these patterns since 2011), are the result of Titleist's unprecedented commitment to understanding and improving golf ball flight. .

Since the Pro V1 was created 20 years ago, Titleist's Research and Development team has designed, manufactured and tested over 1900 aero patterns. This means over 60 different iterations to lay out the 388 pockets of the 1 Pro V2021, and over 30 versions of the 1-well Pro V348x.

“When we are happy with a diagram, the next step is to create and test different versions of it by adjusting the depth, diameter, shape and coverage area of ​​each cell. It is a long-term job, we have also devoted almost ten years to the development of these new versions, but it is thanks to this involvement in research that each bullet produced can fly as far as possible with a optimal trajectory.

The continued investment in cutting edge technology and quality control within Titleist 3 and 4 bullet factories (where every Pro V1 and Pro V1x bullet is manufactured, by Titleist associates, to the highest performance and quality specifications. industry standards) ensures that each new generation of Pro V1 and Pro V1x will be a better and more consistent model than its predecessor. Ball-to-ball, dozen-to-dozen consistency, a rule of thumb at Titleist, is essential for golfers to consistently execute the same types of strokes from course to course.

Validation by players

Since their introduction to the PGA Tour in 2020, several of the best players in the world have entered the tournament with the new Pro V1 or Pro V1x, including Justin Thomas (Pro V1x), Adam Scott (Pro V1x), and Cameron Smith, the first player in Master's history to score all four rounds under 70 with the new Pro V1x.

“I think the most important thing for me with this new ball is its coverage and its ability to stop on and around the greens. I feel like I can play a lot of different shots in this area, which I really needed at the Masters. When I first tested it, I gained a bit of drive distance, which was cool. In terms of trajectory control, control of the spin with the irons, little change, that's perfect. But what was most striking was the control I got out of the rough and around the greens. As at less than 40-50 meters, this stopping ability is incredible. I really have better control over my shots, especially the hard ones that require control, it's even easier with the new outer shell they've designed. "
Cameron Smith

Justin Thomas began testing the 1 Pro V2021x during Thanksgiving week at his home club in Florida, working with Fordie Pitts, Titleist Ball R&D consultant on the PGA Tour.

“A key goal for Justin heading into this season is to get the ball flying higher with his long irons and improve his landing angle on the very firm greens they find most weeks on the Tour. . As we started testing the new Pro V1x, the bullet was constantly coming into that slightly higher firing window and giving it all the distance it needed. It was also a very windy day, and he really liked seeing how stable the ball was through all those gusts. "
Fordie Pitts, Titleist PGA Tour R&D Consultant

Thomas put the ball in play the following Thursday at the Mayakoba Championship, with the tournament's lowest score, 62 in the 3rd round. He's been playing with it ever since. The following week, he played the 1 Pro V2021x while teaming up with his father, Mike, to win the PNC Championship.

“I feel like (the new Pro V1x) has come a long way in some of the areas that I was trying to improve, in that I wanted to get a little more height, to try to hold the ball on firm greens or when playing with long irons. I have the impression that this ball helps me on these points. "
Justin Thomas

Adam Scott put the Pro V1x 2021 into play as soon as he had the chance, during the Vivant Houston Open, the same week he spent on his new Driver TSi4, finishing the week at the top of the Distance standings. at the Drive with 326,4 yards average:

“I think the new Pro V1x has a lot to offer. The X has always been known as the longest and firmest ball; it is always long, but it also has that feeling of softness around the green. So I'm happy with that. She also has a little more spin, ideal for me. So it's a good change for me. "
