Here’s a look at the 2021 Titleist Pro V1x golf ball — a premium, tour-tested model refined across every layer to deliver a high launch, excellent control, and improved feel.
What Makes the 2021 Pro V1x Stand Out?
1. Completely Overhauled Construction
Dual-core design featuring the enhanced 2.0 ZG Process core delivers increased distance and consistent energy transfer.
A fast, high-flex ionomer casing layer, originally developed for the Pro V1x Left Dash, boosts ball speed and reduces long-game spin.
Softest-ever cast urethane elastomer cover offers superior greenside spin and a premium feel.
2. Updated Aerodynamics
Titleist introduced its first major dimple redesign in a decade:
348 spherically-tiled tetrahedral dimples on the Pro V1x, created after more than 30 design iterations, enhance high, consistent flight.
3. Performance Enhancements
Higher launch trajectory with lower long-game spin compared to earlier versions.
Improved ball flight stability, especially in windy conditions — noted by both tour players and independent testers.
Exceptional greenside “drop-and-stop” control, enhancing precision around the greens.
Soft yet responsive feel, especially noticeable on delicate shots — though slightly firmer than the Pro V1.
4. Sidestamp & Packaging Updates
Introduced subtle alignment aids and alignment-enhanced variants with player numbers 1–4. Available in both white and high-optic yellow.
Player-Focused Feedback
From Golf Monthly:
“Strong ball flights in the long game, especially noticeable when playing in the wind…Firm but responsive feel around the green.”
From Golfalot’s real-world testing:
The Pro V1x soared a yard higher with consistent performance into greens.
Delivery across all shots felt solid, with better pace control on the greens.
One user noted a flier on a wedge due to high launch and low spin — something to watch for.
Also, Golf Monthly highlighted:
“The Pro V1x spins 300 rpm less (off the driver) than the 2019 version, with a 1° higher launch. Long game flight felt stronger; short game control remained excellent.”
