You may want to try the new Tour Speed. Played this weekend and with my medium swing speed saw an improvement in distance, roll out and stopping on green. Pick up a sleeve and give a try

My understanding is that the EXPs were the prototype for the Tour Speed. I'm not sure what changes may have been made to the EXP to create Tour Speed. As I recall, the price point for EXP was comparable to the Pro V. Assuming I'm correct, I'm not sure why someone would buy the EXP for $10 - $15 more per dozen over the Tour Speed.

I agree with the previous posts about testing different golf balls yourself to understand and quantify feel.

I work in a pro shop with a simulator. Having tested the AVX ball, I liked that it was lower spin and trajectory with the feel of a high quality golf ball, i.e. Pro V. You may also consider the new Tour Speed ball. Haven't tested it yet but the commercial on GOLF channel is nearly burned into my brain..."Faster than Bridgestone Tour B RX...faster than Taylor Made Tour Response..." So that ball may help with distance.

Anyone familiar with the EXP-01's? My shop keeps getting random shipments in. The ball sells but is still a mystery to me.

I've played to ProV1 since 2000. I recently tried the AVX. I do like it off the tee. It spins a ton less and allows the ball to cut through the air a little more. The feel is similar to a Prov1, a touch harder feeling. But it stops just as well on the green. I love the way it feels off of the putter head. It has a very positive feel and rolls very true. Im going to play with them for the next few weeks to see if I can tell a huge difference.

Is it all about distance now? Thanks Bryson...

The only way to find out for sure is to try other balls.Consider the fact that a ball will carry approximately 2.5 yards/mph club head speed, I would say you are way ahead of the curve with what you are using.Stay with the Pro V's

Just guessing, in that I play in a senior men's league, we call the Rascals, which you could appreciate. Were sometimes shooting 100 by some of our group, enjoyment of the game is a top priority. At the ripe young age of 73, that is mine. Here is my recommendation for you. Purchase a sleeve of these and give it a go or can pick up a dozen at Walmart for a reasonable price. Will not break the bank on any of our retirement checks. With respect and have fun.

Titleist "TruFeel" is the softest Titleist golf ball with low spin for long distance along with excellent control into and around the green.

AVX

If you produce enough spin, consider the AVX. Otherwise I'd stick with the ProV1

TruFeel, Tour Soft, AVX for starters. TruFeel is a good option for slower speeds as it launches a little higher for better distance at slow speeds. No one ball is the best ball for any one type of player, so you may want to try a sleeve of two different balls to compare. Even Pro-V1 could be tried - a little firmer than the AVX but can launch a littler higher.

I am 75 years old and was born with right club foot, so my right leg is shorter and I wear a orthopedicaly designed special shoes. The result is I can not shift my weight an basically swing off my strong left leg. I have a low club speed. I would like to know what kind of balls I should use. I normally shoot between 100 and 110.

Seems like this thread is really getting off topic. The original question was "what ball is best for their swing speed". Since balls are not really characterized as designed for swing speed, the answer is pick a ball that best fits your overall game and what you are trying to achieve. Some slow swingers are looking for lots of spin and some want maximum roll-out. My thoughts anyway. Since the originator askes years ago, i assume they got their question answered.

All of you "stickers" are stuck in a rut. Speed freaks think that it's all about pedal-to-the-metal. Uh, uh. This game is about the deliberate practice of both the H-word (How to perform the fundamentals) and the W-words (What club, Where to hit it and What shot shape). It is the W-words that you take to the course for tactical thinking and better scoring. The H-word on the course bombards you with miss-directions that befuddle your neurological cluster of the sequencing of the muscle and bones movement patterns that you trust and in which you should believe.
Furthermore, you are not cognizant of the kinetic chain and the kinematic conditioning that are instrumental in achieving optimum performance in your pursuit of excellence. Club head speed is a function of the fitness of the links in the kinetic chain that linked from the set-up, to takeaway, to downswing, to impact, to follow-through, to finish. If you are not squishing the ball for equal and opposite reaction. switch to a marshmello or a US Knobby.
Each of the 13 clubs is a class 3 lever whose length from the fulcrum and loft are more important than a fixed velocity. Do your homework on Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.
Also, if you are now an old fart who used to hit 135 yard pitching wedges, get over it an go with the 9 or the 8 and factor that in your tactical Ws.

More distance is available off the tee than 240/85mph in Phoenix. It is possible for a 65yr. young male-me. By taking time to break down swing mechanics, add physical training, select the correct ball(Titleist), driver head and shaft.

Larry p — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 00:16:29 GMT

I agree with JStewart....85mph may get it out 240 on an airport runway if the airport runway is in Phoenix and it's August...

RE: What Titleist ball is best for my swing speed.

JStewart — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 21:10:00 GMT

85 mph will NOT produce 240 yds unless UR playing on the airport runway.

I'd say stick with the Pro v1's. I average about 265-270 off the tee and i was told to play with the Pro V1x. I was using the NXT Tour and I was recommended to to switch to the V1x because I would start to lose feel with the NXT Tour. All in all it is whatever you are most comfortable with.

Re: What Titleist ball is best for my swing speed.

ricktgolf — Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:13:07 GMT

My swing speed is south of 100 mph and I will swear by the V1x. I have not backed one up but they hit and only go about 3 - 5 feet after hitting a green with a full iron. And they will roll out just fine on a bump and run which is my preferred shot around the green. I find the V1x to be a sweet feeling, long, responsive golf ball that performs consistently from tee to green. And the 2013 model is the best of the bunch.

Jerry S — Sun, 07 Jul 2013 23:06:54 GMT

You really don't have to swing 100 mph to spin a Pro V1 or V1x. My 12 year old son gets great results with the Pro V1x and his 85 mph driver speed. He gets great spin with his wedges and short irons and repeatable checking when chipping. --Jerry

Thanks for the link Mike. The idea of finding the right ball for your short game then finding a driver that works for that ball makes a lot of sense. Too many play a "distance" ball and find they have no control in the short game area. Thanks again!

Long on in one sure does shorten the short game, though.

Tom C — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:18:25 GMT

I get less hook and slice action with the ProV1x than the ProV1. But in high winds I drop down to the NXT Tour to get even more control of the hooks and slices.

I follow the logic that swing speed is not an indicator of which ball to use. It does appear, however, to be a significant factor, in that it will help determine along with attack angle how much spin you put on the ball. And how much spin a person creates seems to be a large factor as to which ball they will prefer. This is in either backspin or sidespin. So players that generate a lot of spin (either from high swing speed or side spin from poor path) you would expect to most often benefit from (or prefer) using the V1x or NXT. Players who could use more spin (either because of slower swing speed or path, attack angle) would most often benefit from (or prefer) using the V1 or maybe Tour s for feel. Evidence of this seems to be in the pro players ball used listed on the website. PGA tour (highest swing speeds) 79% play V1x, 20% play V1 and 1% Tour s. LPGA tour (lower swing speeds) 59% play V1, 40% V1x and 1% NXT tour.

I could use hitting more GIR and would seem the V1x or NXT tour would be best, but so far it seems I have best accuracy and scores with the V1 and do like the Tour s feel in the long game. I think this may relate more to being a better fit for my swing speed (driver 90) and that I don't create a lot of side spin. Chipping doesn't appear to be a significant advantage one way or the other, the bigger difference is in holding approach shots with the V1.

One thing I have noticed, and is not often mentioned, is a height difference with chips and pitches between the Pro V1 family and NXT tour family of balls. Maybe it was just me, but that is another reason for people to try the different balls around the greens to see what fits your eye and feel.

Hope this seems accurate to your Titleist team and maybe helps give some help to those searching as to where to start. Bottom line is you really have to try them for yourself, but we all want some help in shortcutting our starting point.

Fred Closs — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 13:41:14 GMT

It seems to me that "ball fitting" is about finding the ball that: 1. you can the furthest with your driver 2. will have enough spin to hold the green on iron shots 3. gives you the "touch" you desire in the short game area. In many cases, the ball that goes the furthest off your driver won't hold the green or provide "feel" around the green. Hence, compromises must be made. For me, the NXT Tour is the longest off the tee, but the ProV1 works best all-around.

Hi RouteBurner,

I just wanted to jump in and provide a little clarification that there really isn't a suggested swing speed for any of our golf balls. Finding the golf ball that is going to help you shoot lower scores is really the end goal and fitting a golf ball based solely on driver swing speed is a myth.

Here's a great post that sheds some more light on the topic as well. Definitely check this out...
