BREAKING: 2021 Pro V1 and Pro V1x Golf Balls

It’s not a secret that Titleist’s Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls are the gold standard. In fact, just look at what’s the most popular ball in play any weekend on the PGA Tour, and I can almost guarantee that it’ll be the Pro V1.

So how do you improve on golf ball perfection? Innovate and improve it from cover to core.

For 2021, Titleist has reengineered the Pro V1 and Pro V1x to provide longer distance, even more Drop-and-Stop greenside spin and control and softer feel, alongside the unmatched ball-to-ball consistency and quality that golfers expect from Titleist.

Starting January 27th in golf shops worldwide, 2021 Pro V1 and Pro V1x are the result of new core, casing layer, cover and aerodynamic technologies—including proprietary 388 (Pro V1) and 348 (Pro V1x) dimple designs optimized for extraordinary distance and consistent flight—that combine to make the most trusted and best performing golf balls in the game even better.

2021 Pro V1 Cross Section

“When a golfer chooses Pro V1 or Pro V1x, they are choosing absolute performance,” said Jeremy Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing. “Our R&D and Operations teams have spent years engineering new technology into each and every component of 2021 Pro V1 and Pro V1x. When it comes to the performance and quality of these products, we will continue to go to every length possible to help golfers play their best and shoot their lowest scores.”

2021 Pro V1x Cross Section

The Pro V1 and Pro V1x feature several industry-leading multicomponent technologies that power it beyond the competition, including:

• Reformulated 2.0 ZG Process Cores deliver increased distance in the solid core Pro V1 and dual core Pro V1x.
• Faster High-Flex Casing Layer adds speed and lowers long game spin. This highly-resilient, high-speed ionomer was initially developed for and validated by Pro V1x Left Dash.
• New, Softer Cast Urethane Elastomer Cover is the softest cover formulation ever used on a Pro V1 or Pro V1x and increases greenside spin for more control in the short game.
• New Spherically-tiled Tetrahedral Dimple Designs, featuring a 388 dimple layout for Pro V1, and 348 for Pro V1x, are optimized to each model to maximize distance and flight consistency. The different dimple designs mean the Pro V1 maintains its penetrating trajectory while Pro V1x will fly higher than the prior generation.

The new dimple designs on 2021 Pro V1 and Pro V1x are a landmark development—the first entirely new patterns since 2011—and are the result of Titleist’s unparalleled commitment to understanding and improving the flight of the golf ball.

Notably, since the original Pro V1 debuted 20 years ago, Titleist R&D has designed, manufactured and tested more than 1,900 aerodynamic patterns, including more than 60 different iterations of 2021 Pro V1’s 388 dimple layout, and more than 30 versions of Pro V1x’s 348 dimple design.

“When we find a pattern we like, the next step is making sure we find the best possible version of that pattern by building and testing different variations of dimple depths, diameters, shapes and surface coverages,” said Mike Madson, Titleist R&D’s Director of Aerodynamics & Research Engineering. “It takes years of work—we’ve been working on these new packages for almost a decade—but it is that commitment to research that ensures each golf ball is optimized to fly at its longest and most efficient trajectory.”

The continued development doesn’t stop at the Pro V1 and Pro V1x. To the contrary, Titleist has continued to invest in advanced technology and quality control at Titleist Ball Plants 3 and 4—where every Pro V1 and Pro V1x are manufactured—to ensure that every new generation of Pro V1 and Pro V1x are the best performing and most consistent models ever. Simply put, it’s nice when you find a ball you like and it performs the same way each and every time, regardless if it’s the first or last ball in the box, and Titleist’s commitment to precision ensures that.

As mentioned above, the new 2021 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls will be available in golf shops beginning January 27, 2021. The 2021 Pro V1 and Pro V1x will be available in White (play numbers 1-4, 5-8 and all the same play number 00 or 1-99) and High Optic Yellow (play numbers 1-4). Suggested retail is $50 per dozen.
