The best Titleist golf balls have led tour ball counts the world over for decades now and that popularity is replicated amongst club golfers too. The flagship Pro V1 model first appeared in 2000 and, since then, it has undergone constant refinements along with the sister Pro V1x golf ball, which first appeared in 2003. 

However, these premium-priced, tour-endorsed models aren't the only ones in a comprehensive range that caters for the performance requirements of golfers of all abilities and budgets. Along with the Pro V1 and V1x, there are the likes of the TruFeel and Tour Soft, models that still provide excellent performance and won't break the bank!

Given how the golf ball is the only piece of equipment you use for every shot, it pays to find a ball that's just right for you. As such, we hope that our golf ball reviews of the brand's current range will help direct you to the best Titleist golf balls for your game.

Low spin players may get better performance from the Pro V1x

Titleist have raised the bar again with its new Pro V1 design. Widely regarded as one of the best golf balls on the market, the Pro V1 is back again for the 23rd year running with new improvements. It comes with the promise of longer distance, lower long-game spin and a more consistent ball flight. 

When it comes to technology, Titleist have upgraded the high-gradient core to make it firmer on the edges and softer towards the centre. This should promote faster ball speeds and, when we tested it out, we found that with our mid-irons there was certainly a reduction in spin and a little more distance in the new model compared to its predecessor. Off the tee, though, we found it hard to see many major differences between both models with each offering excellent ball speeds and lovely flights, yet the 2023 ball delivered a little more consistency in the long game.

If you already use a Pro V1, the latest edition of this ball delivers familiar flights and feel, with the brand improving on the speed of the ball off the face which was seriously impressive. Ultimately though, we were most impressed with how much this ball has raised the bar in terms of consistency.

Some may prefer the softer feel of the Pro V1

Aimed at those looking for higher flights and more spin, the Pro V1x offers a firmer feel over the Pro V1, with its main upgrade being the new core Titleist have inserted into the ball which the brand says works to reduce long-game spin and deliver greater speeds. 

During testing, we enjoyed the level of control on offer, which came in particularly handy when hitting into the greens. Comparing it to its predecessor, when strucwith our mid-irons, the ball showed a big jump in ball speed and a modest reduction in spin. What's more, off the tee, the Pro V1x delivered some small gains in speed and distance, but the higher ball flight and launch was the standout.

Regarding the bottom end of the bag, our wedges seemed to get a little more spin than the outgoing golf ball and delivered excellent control and feel on shorter chips. Compared to the standard Pro V1, the x is designed as the higher flying model for those after more spin.

Specifications

Construction: Three-piece
Colors: 2 (White & Yellow)

Reasons to buy

+
Extremely low spinning, penetrating flight
+
Slightly softer than previous versions
+
Handy alignment aid on the side

Reasons to avoid

-
Relatively niche offering in terms of players it will suit

Introduced in 2018, the newest AVX offering comes in at a lower price point than the Pro V1 models above and, with a number of new technological aspects added, such as a new high gradient, high speed core, a new thin flexible casing layer and a newly designed soft urethane cover, there's a lot to like about this new model.

In testing, we thought that the long game aspect was the star of the show, as the AVX provided a penetrating ball flight with excellent distance. In still conditions it was on a par with the Pro V1x but, when the wind is up, this is where it excelled, as the low spin nature meant it wasn't affected whilst in flight.

Moving away from tee shots, the AVX is a tad more lively and jumpier around the greens and pitch shots. One aspect is that there isn't as much spin in the AVX and it did tend to release out more. However, despite this, the ball did have a soft feel and muted sound and, for added assistance, there is even a handy alignment line either side of the AVX which should help with putting on the green. Overall though, we feel that this ball could fall under the best winter golf balls, given its performance in windy conditions and the fact that it releases out more.

Titleist 2024 TruFeel Golf Ball Review

Construction: Two-piece
Colors: 1 (White)

Reasons to buy

+
Great value for money
+
Strong greenside performance
+
Good alignment features

Reasons to avoid

-
Won’t suit faster swingers who create a lot of spin

The TruFeel golf balls are recognized as some of the best value golf balls on the market and, with their latest edition, that is still the case, with a dozen golf balls coming in at an RRP of $25/£26 per dozen. For the quality on offer, that is very good value for money.

A two-piece golf ball, Titleist has incorporated a softer 3.0 Truflex cover to provide more greenside spin and control and, with a springy feel on and around the greens, it was noticeable in our testing that this has been designed with the beginner in mind. What's more, there was a surprising amount of spin, which only aids the performance further.

Along with the 3.0 Truflex cover, a new TruTouch core has also been introduced to promote longer distance and, although it produced adequate distances with driver in testing, it was always going to be shorter than the likes of the Pro V1. However, the TruFeel is around half the price and, with the performance on offer, it easily falls into the category of being one of the best cheap golf balls on the market.

Lacks short-game spin versus other models in the range

Titleist continue to claim that the Velocity 2022 is the longest golf ball in the Titleist range. It comes with a two piece High Velocity LSX Core that makes the ball a little firmer helping to generate more speed on shots around the course. Additionally, the brand introduced a new octahedral pattern on the NaZ+ ionomer cover which comes with 350 dimples for a high flight with a little more consistency. It is a pretty low spinning golf ball, and we found that you certainly need this additional height on your shots. The low spin was welcomed though as it helps keep the ball on line, driving straight towards your target. 

Our testing revealed that the ball did fly higher with the driver and carried 5 yards further when compared to the previous generation. The spin was very low which was great for distance but, again, there is a tradeoff in terms of feel because there is less spin on approaches and less control on chips around the green. Despite this, we think the Velocity is not just one of the best distance golf balls out there, but also one of the best golf balls for high handicappers too.

Small drop in carry distance compared to a premium ball

Compared to the best premium golf balls on the market, the Tour Soft provides a lot of value, with the 2024 edition being refined with a reformulated thin Fusablend cover for reliable greenside spin. Along with the cover, there is a thick line and ‘T’ marking on the side that we found handy when lining up those crucial putts inside 10 feet.

As the name claims, these are incredibly soft golf balls but, despite this, they still felt powerful off the tee and, although they won't rank as one of the best distance golf balls on the market, they blend spin and distance well. We must note that, if you are a high spin player, you may be better off looking elsewhere, as these balls did have a  tendency to fly a little higher because of the spin.

Although they may not excel in the long game department, they do perform well around and on the the greens and, in our testing, we found they had a decent amount of control which is crucial for when you want to get the ball close to the target when using wedges. This, including their great durability, make them another great option that won't break the bank.

How We Test Golf Balls

In our golf ball testing we use launch monitor data from devices such as Trackman to see the spin, speed and distance performance of golf balls with irons and drivers. This enables us to evaluate the type of golfer that each ball will suit.

We then test the balls on the golf course and around the greens to review the spin, control and feel characteristics of the ball with wedges and putters in order to give you the complete picture of the Titleist Golf Ball range.

How To Choose A Titleist Golf Ball

The best way to choose a Titleist Golf ball is to head along to a Titleist golf ball fitting day where you can try all the balls on the range and get an expert fitting. They will fit the ball to your 7-iron swing and then you should fit your driver to the ball. 

If that is not possible then you can do the second part of the fitting yourself by taking a selection of Titleist golf balls to the practice green and chip and pitch on to the green to see which ball gives you the best results. This is because the different ball constructions and covers will produce different results.

Finally take you two best choices and putt with them to select the one that feels the best as usually there is a firm and a soft option for a given level of ball performance in the Titleist range. Remember you will get what you pay for so make sure you check out all the balls in the range as a a premium ball with a better cover may mean lower scores.
