How Titelist Pro V1 is made

I thought it was really interesting to see how Titleist make their Pro V1 ball.

Titleist Pro V1 vs Titeist Pro V1x

Titleist balls are the best preforming balls on the market. They are the softest and don't spin as much in comparison to other balls.  


Titleist Pro V1: 
- It is a three piece ball
- It has a 352 dimple pattern
- It is a softer ball to hit
- It gives off more ball spin meaning it gives the golfer a higher ball flight 

Titleist Pro V1x:
~It is a four piece ball
~It has a 328 dimple pattern
~It is a harder ball to hit
~It gives off low ball spin giving a lower ball flight 


Which ball is actually better?
Well surprisingly it actually depends of the golfers swing speed. If a golfer has a fast swing speed and high ball flight then the golfer should use Pro V1x. On the other hand if the golfer is the opposite of that. Slow swing speed and low ball flight then they should use Pro V1 as their ball. However they both have a thing called A.I.M.. This stands for Alignment Integrated Marking. Basically Titleist mean they have an arrow pointing both ways to help the golfer aim either on the tee box or on the greens. As shown in the picture below.
