A New Yellow Fellow - Titleist Pro V1 & Pro V1x

2019 Pro V1 and Pro V1x High Optic Yellow Models Now Available

-

For the first time ever, golfers who choose the extraordin­ary distance, superior scoring control and unmatched consistenc­y of Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls have a new color option: high optic yellow.

The introducti­on of a high-visibility

yellow color option to the Pro V1 family, answers the growing demand from members of Team Titleist and golfers around the world.

The Pro V1 and Pro V1x Yellow made its first appearance on the PGA Tour at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, where Bubba Watson immediatel­y put a 2019 Pro V1x Yellow in play.

“I’m loving the new Pro V1x Yellow. When the R&D guys sent me the first batch of them for testing, I couldn’t wait to get them in play,” said Watson, who currently leads the PGA Tour’s

average driving distance category at 316.6 yards. “I played some really good golf with the [prior generation] Pro V1x, but it’s clear the 2019 ball is even better. It’s faster, I can work the ball exactly how I want, and the short game performanc­e is as good as ever. The ball feels great, plus there’s just something about that bright yellow finish where I feel like I can see it better. For me it was a no brainer.”

Kirk Triplett, playing Pro V1x Yellow, eagled the second hole of a suddendeat­h playoff to win the PGA Tour Champions’ Hoag Classic, marking the first victory for a Pro V1 and Pro V1x Yellow golf ball on the worldwide profession­al tours.

Both Yellow models have also been played on the PGA Tour by Kyle Jones (Pro V1x) and Rory Sabbatini (Pro V1x), on the Web.com Tour by Scott Gutschewsk­i (Pro V1) and Zac Blair (Pro V1x), and on PGA Tour Champions by Mark Calcavecch­ia (Pro V1x) and Ken Tanigawa (Pro V1).

Faster from core to cover, new Pro V1 and Pro V1x Yellow have been precisely engineered to deliver the same performanc­e improvemen­ts as their 2019 white counterpar­ts, delivering more ball speed and lower long game spin for more distance, while retaining the consistent flight, Drop-and-stop short game control, soft feel and long-lasting durability that golfers depend on.

Pro V1 provides optimal flight and spin for most golfers, flying lower than Pro V1x with a penetratin­g trajectory, with very soft feel. Pro V1x flies higher, spins more on iron shots and has a slightly firmer feel.
