Wish Pro V Left Dash was included in this test

Would’ve loved to see Left Dash included in this. Maybe you can test it and just post the results? Not necessarily a whole video?

Ian it has been fun watching your videos from equipment to speed training and some swing thoughts great job

I don't know how you do it but you read my mind and create a video about what I'm thinking. Genius and you do it so well 🎉

Yes! More ball videos please. Need you guys to help me choose which ball to play this year!

I, too, play the Pro V1x with a similar ball speeds on “full” swings. Seeing the numbers you posted confirms my choice between the three options. Left dash is a ghost around my area and not high on my list. Good timing on the video because I was questioning my choice. Now I can focus 100% on swing!

I’ve played tp5x for past few years.. hit it ridiculously high and skinny. Trying the AVX this year to keep spin under control. Great work fellas

Couldn't have been better timing, was looking up this golf ball all week.

Playing the new AVX playing the course where I never played before and the cover takes a beating and looks like new money great ball and a great test and insight thanks

With all the new balls out in 2024, a new ball test would be awesome to watch. Great video!

One thing I found testing these balls is that when I play AVX at altitude, I got some "knuckled" spin numbers and so I play Pro V1 at altitude and AVX at sea level. I also switch in higher wind situations. Love the options for Titleist.

Great video first off, I play on Sunday mornings with a senior golfer and he plays the AVX and with his ball striking he has to play a new ball because it deforms after 6 holes or so, egg shape, he is a constant ball striker, I play Pro V1 myself just because it feels more firm for me and the AVX is to soft of a feel for me personally

Very interesting results. I’ve been testing those same balls as well, but also throwing in the Left Dash. I’m trying to get a bit higher launch and less spin, especially with driver. It is interesting how some days I’ll see the results titleist days I should, and other days I don’t, using trackman data.

Would love to see you guys do a video of how something like the Taylormade Soft Response responds to higher swing speeds. I love using the softer golf balls for on and around the greens but have always wondered how much i’m losing on driver and irons due to the low compression and what the wedge spin looks like. Love the channel thanks guys!

Been looking forward for this since the new Avx came out

Would’ve made a lot of sense to see this compared to left dash. A lot of us are sort of shoe horned into left dash to knock off spin, but as Neil from NLU puts it, hitting a left dash feels like you’re striking a human skull lol

I also use Left Dash because I need to shed as much spin as possible. But the high ball flight is tough for me as I already hit too high. I’ll use AVX (or Maxfli Tour S) when it’s colder out. Using AVX last year at times didn’t feel like I was losing much distance compared to Left Dash but I have no data on that. Would love to see a good comp.

I have used all three and still can't decide which one I like better. I am a high ball, high spin player. Speed is down a bit this year, but I am 40 now haha. 106-109 driver, last year was 112-119.

Try Chrome Tour, I've hated Callaway balls for years but by the numbers (through my testing on trackman) the new Chrome Tour is very, very similar to Left Dash.

I loved AVX and it was my ball of choice for a long time due to feel and spin control. I did make the switch to ProV1 in recent years bc as a high SS player I was losing a decent bit of ball speed off driver. I may have to give it a go again after this test! Cheers boys!

Don't know if I missed it but, perhaps a mention about the exact compression of each golf ball might be more of a factor for some ? I believe the AVX is a lower compression so might suit someone with a slower swing speed. It would be brilliant if you could do a video on this subject - different ball compressions with different swing speeds ? As always, content is top tier 👌🏻

Another comment about including left dash, got fitted for irons and wedges last year at SGGT in Edinburgh and was advised to use left dash instead of ProV1.

As others have mentioned, would like a left dash comparison, but would also like a maxfli video, similar to this. Tour s, tour, and tour X comparison would be great.

I think the wilson staff model is a fantastic golf ball. I do like the tp5x but i found the crack and wear too quick prov1x and wilson staff model for me atm

I play AVX after playing V1X for decades. Have no troubles spinning it around the greens but the trajectory and consistency in the wind is the separator. I play a windy course and AVX is money. Flatter flight and consistent launch window. Beautiful off the irons yet a tad shorter off the drive. Yet I think this is due to my driver setup as my driver head is a tad spinny for my liking no matter the ball played.

Are you guys going to do ball testing on the 2024 Bridgestone Tour BX & BXS? Tiger's gaming the BX now would love to see the changes. You guys do the best videos, thank you!

Would be interesting to compare the new AVX to the elusive Pro V1 Left Dot to see what the differences are…

Have you reviewed, or will you review, the TaylorMade Tour Response vs. the TP5 and TP5x?

Played the AVX all last season and switched to the chrome soft this year. Felt the chrome soft was a bit more consistent for me overall.

Playing AVX through the winter in the UK. Just shot my low round with it. I like the flight in the wind and damp conditions and don't see much if any difference in spin. Play off 9.

i tried the 2024 AVX this weekend and was very impressed. I struggle with too much spin and this really helped stop my ball flight from ballooning. All day when hitting into greens the balls was found very close to it's pitch mark. They really should just name this ball PRO V LS

Most golfers like me hit down on the ball with driver and generate to much spin. Switched to AVX last year. I easily gained 10-15 yards as the ball rolls out a bit more. Driving into a headwind I could gain 30 yards. Gamechanger for me

I love the AVX, whether it’s true or not I feel that it tones down the peeling slices. The dispersion I feel is a bit narrower which is what I need.

If you like the AVX then you should try the MaxFli Tour S. Very similar performance but big difference in value. The MaxFli Tour S doesn’t spin enough for me. I switched to the MaxFli Tour ball after the Ping Ballnamic ball fitting recommended it as my top fit..

I play traditionally lofted irons and create a lot of spin with driver. Also prefer soft feel around and on the greens. AVX is my perfect ball.

@@yourbestgolf365 yes, I also know the spin isn’t as big of a factor in driver when considering a ball. The dimple pattern will determine height but that can never be replicated or shown from a simulator.

Been using AVX from old version to new, the new version definitively got bite around the green, better control.

I love AVX. I live on the coast and it holds its line so well in the wind. But maybe the best thing is that my friends hate it and always give me any they find on the course so they’re cheaper for me than the MSRP!

Something I’ve alway been curious about does marking your ball affect performance? Or at what point would marking up your ball affect performance. like how much marker would be needed to effect the performance.

I’ve always wondered that.. do sims like gc4 pick up things like aerodynamics? I’d think not, and if not does that leave a big gap in ball flight?

I've played AVX for about 4 years now and was recommended it by a scratch golfer who used it! They are perfect and long off the tee. I see no reason to ever change and the new 24 ball is even better 😎

Watched this to see what AVX was all about as im seeing the same differences on the course with newPROV1 not as penetrating as previous versions

Love the AVX, shot my personal low round with it this past weekend

Same! Love this ball off the tee with a driver, ball flight is perfect for my swing. But my issue is with how it stops on the green, i’m not accurate enough to need the ball to stop where it lands. I think i’m going to continue to play this ball though and maybe it will help me get better with my scoring clubs!

I wonder how it compares to the Callaway Chrome Soft X LS?

Well what golf balls would you recommend for a senior golfer with a slower swing speed in the 80s ?

I was fortunate to be a pre-production tester for this new AVX ball, and your test results mirrored exactly what I saw, both indoors on the launch monitor and in outdoor testing.

I currently play new AVX what Mizuno ball do you can recommend that is close to AVX or is AVX just totally different and no other ball come close to it

If money no object, AVX is my ball of choice. Primarily for putting/short game feel but also for lower window as more useful in UK Links environment

Always great vids! Is there any future video comparing Tour Response to the new TP5/TP5x? If so, could you throw in SpeedSoft as a dark horse?… Asking for a friend 🤗

I'll second this motion.

I remember a few years ago they said they were discontinuing the AVX yet here we are several years later with another new one. Maybe I heard wrong.

Ian putting on a stripe show with the Pro V1x today

can someone tell me how to rename clubs or balls in the charts?

Fitting a golf ball inside is so hard. All you can give them is the spin and launch and say what the aero is supposed to do. The aero is what controls that flight and peak height. In Pro V1X, the dimples are designed to create lift and use that added spin to climb to give people (like me) that help getting a proper land angle with long irons. AVX aero is designed to limit lift and keep it flatter.

Can we get some Srixon and Vice ball reviews please and thanks.

The old AVX was way to soft for me off the putter. Likely mental, but I struggled to putt with it. Prov1 is perfect off the putter, Prov1x is slightly firm. On soft greens the AVX is nice as it basically stops where it hits and doesn't rip back like crazy, but I launch it low, so ProV1x is better overall for my game. Get more spin and launch on irons without sacrificing distance. My course has firm greens and not soft, so proV1x has been my ball past few years. Great to have options.

@tigertim9232

3 ай бұрын

Yes! Someone else who agrees ProV1x is not as nice as v1 to putt with. My feeling of firm is the feeling the ball comes off faster than my perceived level of energy input.

I think something that gets misunderstood with trajectory is HOW a ball gets to its peak height vs just comparing the peak height numbers. Which would be how far downrange does it reach the peak height before it falls. Maybe difficult to tell indoors?

Tried the previous AVX. Felt soft and good distance. Around the greens at 2 of the 5 course I played it was fine. The really soft ones it came in too low

Like #1000 😁. Great review I was very curious about the AVX

I use the AVX on cooler days and the left dash in warmer weather. Be nice to see the numbers produced considering they are supposed to be the 2 lowest spinning balls in the titleist umbrella, but have vastly different feels. I think it would be a great opportunity for both Mikey and Ian to test in the same video considering the different swing dynamics of the 2 individuals.

@@ben2cameron it’s crazy how everyone’s swing and the same ball will produce different flights and spin rates. My only gripe with the Chrome balls is the feel off the putter. I use a milled putter and most balls but the pro v1 and 1x feel like garbage off the putter :/

Driver spin and launch were interesting. Why did prov1x spin less than prov1? Prov1x should launch and spin higher correct? Also, in my testing I found ballspeed highest with the harder then ball is, left dash the highest. Prov1x is up there. Prov1 less. Avx the lowest, but not always.

@TPentaa

Incorrect, the height is based on dimple pattern and depth, something a sim will never replicate, so yes X will. Fly higher outside. Spin however it’s not a factor when hitting a driver. The difference is non existent. People buying low spin balls for driver are kidding themselves

Who on tour plays the AVX? They get to play the pro v1 left dot. People with higher S.S loose ball speed with the AVX

Bought 2Doz of the new Titelist AVX and not impressed. After 18 holes they look worn, the shine has gone and scuff up very easily. Didn't seem to get the same spin round the green as I did with the previous AVX. I suspect that this the tour speed ball with AVX stamped on it.

I'm looking forward to seeing you test the tp5

It’s played by so few golfers. Most will play V1 or V1x.

weird how it doesn't perform with driver but did with everything else.

Feels like Titleist missed the mark on pricing of the AVX tbh, should be more in line with Tour Response than ProV1 imo

I'm a huge AVX fan but once Titleist increased the prices a few years ago to Pro V1 territory, I just stick with the Pro V.

Jumped into the comments and saw the left dash wasn’t included so didn’t watch =\ Redo this exact video with the left dash! Include the Tour Soft as a “budget ball” comparison.

One thing these tests show is that human performance is a far bigger factor than anything you can buy

2024 AVX sucks. Shorter off of every club, especially driver and putter. 2022 version is longer and spins plenty. They really blew it tying to improve an already awesome ball.

First

i think anyone playing a bladed iron/players iron who is a shot shaper and a ballstriker should consider this ball, just to kinda dial back the spin just slightly, just to kinda prevent that really high spinning shaped shot that you lose too far right/left
