Honestly the ProV1x, although they’ve now changed the x vs. no x naming a bit in the last few years, gave me the mix of attributes I wanted in a ball. Not on paper, on the course.
It’s long, it’s soft, and you can spin the hell out of it. There was a time where the cover was so soft on them I could scuff one up pretty good with a wedge. That wasn’t ideal, but it was fixed pretty quickly.
Over time, it became more of a confidence thing. They became old reliable. For me, they just feel right at impact, you can move them if you want to, lean into one and get a little more out of it, and can get them to hold greens in spite of conditions.
I still have 4 dozen TP5x’s to go through, though. They may grow on me, but if they don’t, it’ll be back to ProV1’s. And this isn’t to say that they’re any better/worse than the ProV1, it’s just a confidence thing. They’re similarly priced and if they don’t provide a clear advantage to my game, I would rather look down and see Titleist.
