| COMPETITIVE OR SKILLED PLAYER |
| If you are a skilled player with a handicap of 10 or less and have a high swing speed above 90 mph, you should be looking for a softer ball that spins more. This ball should have a 3 or 4 piece construction. Here are our top tour ball picks of 2009. |
| . |
 |
| Voted the price and performance leader by Golf Digest, the Pro V series continues to be the favorite among golfers of all skill levels. |
| . |
| Titleist Pro V1 golf ball innovations include a softer Urethane Elastomer cover. A staggered wave parting line for enhanced ball flight and longer hitting distance. Also, the Alignment Integrated Marking (AIM) side stamp, that is new for this year and serves as an integrated alignment guide for putting. |
| . |
| Titleist Pro V1 golf balls feature a soft compression, high velocity core and higher coverage 392 dimple design for consistency over long distances. The Pro V1 offers softer feel, more spin, and a higher trajectory off every club. |
| . |
| Titleist Pro V1x offers a soft center dual core for lower spin and greater distance than the Pro V1. It has a 332 dimple design and is a 4 piece golf ball. This creates a ball that feels harder than the ProV1. |
| |
