Which Are The Best Golf Balls - Callaway Tour ix Or Titleist PRO V1?
From: Golf-Online-TipsGolfers are always discussing which are the best golf balls. It appears that the two contenders are the Callaway Tour ix and the Titleist PRO V1. So, let's take a closer look at the technology behind these balls and the comments they invoke.
Callaway Tour ix
The new Callaway Tour ix golf ball is of a 4-piece construction with inertia technology that is said to generate breakthrough tour distance. The new Tour ix Golf Ball is the most technologically advanced and longest tour ball that Callaway has ever made, featuring innovative 4-piece inertia technology: 4 pieces and 2 cores equals 1 unbeatable ball.
Technology
* Tungsten-Infused Outer Core - The ball's high-density outer core moves weight away from the center of the ball for increased Moment of Inertia (MOI) resulting in reduced driver spin for increased distance.
* Dual Core Construction - The ball's dual core construction allows for great distance off the tee while still offering spin around the green. The softer inner core provides low spin off the driver for great distance while the firmer outer core provides high driver speed and high chip-shot spin around the green.
* Mantle Layer - Works with the dual core to produce high ball speed and its higher density moves more weight away from the center to increase MOI and reduce driver spin to maximize distance.
* Refined HEX Aerodynamics reduces drag even further for longer and more stable ball flight.
* New Thermoset Urethane Cover - Provides superior feel and short-game spin for excellent greenside control.
Tour Professionals Using Callaway Tour ix Golf Balls
Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson, Annika Sorenstam, and Niclas Fasth have all used the Callaway Tour ix for top 10 finishes recently.
User Comments
Users that have bought and tried the Callaway Tour ix golf ball have had mixed reactions to it. Most compare it to the Titleist PRO V1 golf ball, and in price, they both retail for about $45.00 per dozen.
Several golfers have claimed that they like it better than the Titleist PRO V1, saying that they get 8 - 12 yards more and that the playability around the greens is excellent. They also said that control and distance from the tee and fairway was about the same as the Titleist PRO V1. Some golfers claimed it was the best golf ball they had ever used.
Others have reported that they don't check up well on the greens. This seams to be the biggest complaint with the Callaway Tour ix, but there are also many users who love the control and spin around the greens.
Titleist PRO V1
Titleist's new Pro V1 Golf Ball is crammed with exclusive performance based features that make it the definitive golf ball for use by PGA pros. Many serious golfers looking for power backed performance have declared it a winner.
Technology
The new and improved Pro V1 combines some of the industry's key technologies; larger and softer multi-component core, speed-enhancing ionomer casing and a soft urethane elastomer cover with a 392 dimple pattern.
Striking the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball causes a mix of faster initial velocity, low spin and higher launch which produces a flatter ascent and greater iron distance.
* An Ionomer casing with speed increase yet with spin-control capabilities.
* 392 dimple pattern promotes aerodynamics for shot control and flight consistency.
* Special A.I.M. (Alignment Integrated Marking) side stamp improves putting alignment.
* Soft yet abrasion-resilient cover yields unbeatable stopping control performance.
* Longer and consistent driver distance; good spin into and around the green and soft compression feel.
Tour Professionals Using Titleist PRO V1 Golf Balls
Tom Watson, Adam Scott, Bernhard Langer, Geoff Ogilvy, Nick O'Hern, and Steve Stricker have all used the Titleist PRO V1 to achieve top 10 finishes recently.
User Comments
Golfers have generally been quite impressed with the Titleist PRO V1 golf ball. They have reported that they get a lot more distance from the tee and that they roll further.
They also said that they get a controllable second shot. Around the green, users have declared that they get great bite on the greens. It has been said of the Titleist PRO V1 that it is the perfect combination of distance, feel, and spin: One of the best golf balls around.
Summary
So, which are the best golf balls between the Callaway Tour ix and the Titleist PRO V1? First, I wouldn't recommend either for a beginner; these are aimed at the pros and competent all-round golfers. For distance it appears to be a tie, with loyal users from both camps claiming theirs goes further. For control, and especially spin and bite on the greens, the Titleist PRO V1 appears to have the edge.
