So, I finally had a chance to really put this ball through its paces. A move halfway across the country slowed things down so my apologies to TT and TT Staff for this late review.

The ball overall is great. What you would come to expect from a premium Titleist ball.

It does launch lower than my current V1x which took a few holes to get used to. I could still get quite a lot of height on it though which was nice. The ball for me off the tee was very tight in terms of movement. That's a good thing but when you are used to your gamer ball moving more in a certain direction my start lines needed to change a touch. Something with work I could get used to.

It was easier to launch on shorter irons and had plenty of spin. May times my divot was less than a foot from where the ball came to rest. Again a good thing but as before if your gamer gives you the one hop and stop, I was coming up shorter on approaches than normal. With time you can work on that.

Short game spin was the same. Ball is very soft around the green and left myself farther away on chipping than what the gamer V1x gives me. Putting was the same pace and feel just a softer sound coming off the blade.

Would I play this ball? Absolutely! Do I need to play this ball? No. The AVX is a great ball and my alternate to play if the V1x goes away.
