Titleist 2025 Pro V1x and Pro V1 Ball Review

I've had the chance to play the new 2025 Titleist Pro V1x and Pro V1 balls now for about one month.  I told all of you back when I received these that I'd be putting them through the wringer.  And I did.

I hit comparative chips and pitches with wedges from 75 yards and in.  I also hit full swing iron shots from about 150 yards out.  And of course off the tee with driver.  Here's how the new 2025 Pro V1x performs and compares to the new Pro V1 as well as how each of these new 2025 balls perform and compare to the last gen (2023) Pro V1x and Pro V1.  A lot to unwrap here, so let's get right into it.
