Pro v 1 for a senior who swings 80-90 mph ? Obviously this isn’t about what is an appropriate ball for seniors or people who don’t swing a club 100 mph+. May I suggest you actually take the time to research what might benefit seniors.
The ball I've used recently and which I have found to be superior is the Bridgestone e12 Contact. Distance, flight, and - most importantly - the highly subjective topic of feel are better than the Titleist, Srixon, or anything else I've tried. The feel, especially off my irons, is hard to quantify but the e12 feels better than $50/dozen balls and is only $24.99/dozen at any retailer so price/performance wins the race for me. It putts well and also seems highly durable, so what's not to like? The balls surveyed in this video are premium balls but, IMO, the e12 beats them all.
MyGolfSpy tested the 2023 Titleist Pro V1 and found it had an average compression of 87. That's on the high side and requires a higher swing speed. "The #1 ball in golf, the Pro V1 is a three-piece golf ball meant for swing speeds of 98-105 mph." (The Golf Ball Handbook). This is NOT suited for slower senior swing speeds which typically range between 60-80 mph. (The Titleist Pro V1x has an average compression of 96.)
I’m do like the AVX but refuse to pay these high prices for golf balls which I lose too often. I’m quite happy with my Cosco Kirklands - a great all round ball at a very reasonable price.
I play a Wilson Duo Soft. Around $20.00 a dozen. And I played them a very very long time and I’ve had no problems with them. The compression is perfect for my swing speed as a senior.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Wilson Duo Soft golf ball ! 😊 It's great to hear that they work well for you, especially with the perfect compression for your golf swing speed. Keep enjoying your game! ⛳
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you've found a ball that works well for you. The Bridgestone Tour RX sounds like a solid choice, especially with good distance and performance around the green. Happy golfing! 🏌️♂️⛳️🤪🇺🇲
Artificial Intelligence voicing is obvious in this post. I’ve played most of these balls. ProV1 is the best for Seniors? No way! Sorry, but show me the numbers. Why buy a Premium four piece ball? Absolutely no advantage. None!
DRIVERS THAT COST 500 DOLLARS, IRONS 800 HUNDRED PLUS, WEDGES 135 BUCKS, PUTTERS AROUND 150 AND UP, BAGS 100 PLUS, BALLS AROUND 30 BUCKS A DOZEN, ADD ON 50 PLUS GREEN FEES, AND OF COURSE WE ALL NEED 150 DOLLAR RANGE SCOPES, THIS IS ALL GETTING TO BE A REDICULOUS RIP OFF. AND DON'T FOR GET $100+ FITTING Fees😮. 😢
Golf can definitely be an expensive sport with all the costs adding up. However, there are also budget-friendly options and ways to save money. Many golfers find that investing in quality equipment improves their game and enjoyment, but it's important to find a balance that works for you. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you being part of the community! 😊🏌️♂️
You should include cover material and price. These all seem to be the highest priced balls. You should do a video featuring the best balls under $30.00. There are good ones. One you should add to this list is the Taylor made Tour Response. The con is they have risen $10.00 in price 2 years. The plus is they have added many colors in a wide stripe option.
With a compression of 100. Vice Pro plus is not recommended for Senior golfers in my world. Most seniors don't have enough swing speed for that ball. Pro V 1 not appropriate either. Taylormade Speed Soft is a far better choice for folks with slower swing speeds which is where the majority of most seniors reside.
You make a great point about golf ball compression and swing speed. The Vice Pro Plus does have a high compression, which might not be ideal for seniors with slower swing speeds. The Taylormade Speed Soft golf ball is indeed a fantastic option for those needing a softer feel and better distance at lower speeds. Happy golfing! 🏌️♂️
@@josephdubiel7129 I tried the Vice pro soft. Very good ball.it’s a little firm but goes a long way. I am around 200 with driver and I hit the Vice 220 once in awhile.
The Titleist Pro V 1 is a great ball for my game. I haven’t found any of the less expensive Titleist balls to have a good feel to them.. They all seem to hard. As a senior I also like Callaway’s Crome soft or their Super Soft balls. Any of the major brands top shelf ball is generally a very good choice and their less expensive balls are just of average quality. So, if you don’t mind losing distance the Kirlkland ball is probably the best deal going for a decent all around quality ball.
4 of the 5 might be for seniors on the Senior PGA Tour. I know few players that can actually take advantage of a tour ball, be honest with yourself but if spending $50+ for a dozen makes you feel good then go for it.
The Srixon Soft Feel is indeed a fantastic golf ball, offering great value. The AVX is excellent, but I totally get where you're coming from regarding the price. It's all about finding what works best for your game!
None of these balls are compatible with slower swing speeds, but fit players with at least moderate to high swing speeds. I think the video on slow swing speed golf balls would be more appropriate.
It's great to hear that the Maxfli Tour-X works well for your senior swing. Finding the right ball can make a big difference in your game. Keep swinging and enjoying the golf game! ⛳️
Titleist velocity for me. I’m almost 69 in a month. I can tee up a pro v and a velocity will beat it every time. I only have about 85 mph club head speed now, but still average 240-255 off the tee. When I was 35 I could hit anything a long way. Now I just play a little cat game with all my senior buddies.
It's great to hear that you still have a solid drive despite a lower club head speed. The Titleist Velocity golf ball is known for its distance, so it's no surprise that it works well for you. It's all about finding the right ball for your game and enjoying those rounds with your buddies! Keep on having fun out there!
This is the biggest load of horse sh*t I have ever watched. Seniors need LOW COMPRESSION balls. Wilson Duo. Callaway Super soft. My go to back up ball has always been a Noodle. Used to be a Maxfli, now it is made my Taylor Made. I have played them all. Every ball at every price point. Duo, Supersoft and Noodle are my favs. They are not pushed by websites like these because the profit margin is much lower than the balls featured. I used to get rock flites to spin back in the day. I don't need a $4 golf ball to make it check.
It's great to hear about your experiences with various golf balls and the ones that have worked best for you. I understand your preference for low-compression golf balls, especially for seniors. It's always good to go with what feels right for you and your golf game. While we do feature some higher-priced golf balls, it's definitely not to dismiss the ones you mentioned. Everyone has unique preferences, and it's valuable to get feedback from experienced players like you. ⛳
I understand your concern. While this evaluation may cater more to golfers with higher swing speeds, I'll definitely take your feedback into consideration for future reviews.
I'm a 70 year old. Play a Bridgestone e12 Contact. I don't know all the high tech stuff in a ball. All I know is it flies straighter, about 5 yards farther, and feels softer on putts. $34 a
Amen, brother, amen! I find that the e12 is superior to anything else in recent times. Best of all I find that they're now $24.99/dozen at any retailer, either brick and mortar or online. I'm 74 and this is my ball, too.
"The difference between a one dollar golf ball and a three dollar ball ------- is two dollars. " Leslie Neilsen Seriously- do senior golfers do any better with all of these balls than they did when they all used Titleist DT90 ?
Absolutely! It's a valid question. The advancements in golf ball technology can seem overwhelming at times. While there's certainly a wide range of options available, the real difference often comes down to individual preference, swing characteristics, and playing conditions. Some senior golfers may find benefits with newer balls tailored to their swing speeds or preferences, while others may stick with what they know works for them. Ultimately, the best ball for you is the one that helps you play your best and enjoy the game. 😊🏌️♂️
While the Pro V1 golf balls are often recommended for players with higher clubhead speeds, it's also versatile enough for a broader range of players. Some might prefer it for its feel and control, even if they don't swing as fast. It's always good to consider personal preference and playing style when choosing golf balls. ⛳️
The TaylorMade Tour Response and WILSON Triad are indeed excellent choices for seniors Golfer, especially with a 70 to 80 mph swing speed. Their design really helps maximize distance and control. Happy golfing! ⛳️
I’m not sponsored by Pro V1 golf ball; my goal is to share my personal experiences with the product. Your comment helps me improve. Thanks again for watching! ⛳️

Agreed! These balls are all expensive as well. This is nothing more than a sales pitch.
Bastards
Obviously??
Don’t let the “expert” hype fool you…80-90 mph swing speed can definitely play the oro v1….
The ball I've used recently and which I have found to be superior is the Bridgestone e12 Contact.

It putts well and also seems highly durable, so what's not to like? The balls surveyed in this video are premium balls but, IMO, the e12 beats them all.
I’ve never gotten to play the same ball for five or six rounds. Mine have this wanderlust built deep in their own cores.
Try that business of testing the balls for balance in salt water that makes them float. See if that helps.
MyGolfSpy tested the 2023 Titleist Pro V1 and found it had an average compression of 87. That's on the high side and requires a higher swing speed.

I wish to purchase these balls as they are very good for us seniors
I’m do like the AVX but refuse to pay these high prices for golf balls which I lose too often. I’m quite happy with my Cosco Kirklands - a great all round ball at a very reasonable price.
Kirklands?? Worse than a range ball. Pre-owned balls found in the bushes are better - or just tee up rocks.
Not the 5 I would pick! Callaway and Srixon would have something to say about this grouping!
I play a Wilson Duo Soft. Around $20.00 a dozen. And I played them a very very long time and I’ve had no problems with them. The compression is perfect for my swing speed as a senior.

I play the Srixon Q Star Tour. This is also a good ball for seniors and under $40 a box.
I've been using these for some time, great balls and I can get the for under £25 a dozen in the uk

Was this sponsored by Titleist?. Any shop or Pro selling these to proper seniors is basically taking your money and doesn't care about your game.
Maybe I should get a sponsorship deal with Titleist! But jokes aside, I appreciate your input on this.
Top 5 should read.
1 Titlest tru feel.
2Srixon soft feel.
3 Srixon Qstar
4 Callaway chromesoft.
5 bridgestone E6
Thanks for sharing your top 5 golf balls! Everyone has their favorites golf ball, and it's always interesting to see different perspectives.

Titleist Tour Soft feel amazing !

You are correct I use the Srixon soft feel. The AVX is a great ball but way too expensive
The Srixon Soft Feel is indeed a fantastic golf ball, offering great value. The AVX is excellent, but I totally get where you're coming from regarding the price. It's all about finding what works best for your game!

Buy found balls at 1/3 - 1/2 price
I don’t agree!! Slow swing speed (senior)=srixon soft feel or callaway super soft 🏌️♂️
My choices exactly
Would have been nice if you said what swing speed you tested them at. I am a senior with lower back fusion so my swing is all arms and low speed.
I find the Maxfli Tour-X to be the best ball for my Senior Swing
It's great to hear that the Maxfli Tour-X works well for your senior swing. Finding the right ball can make a big difference in your game. Keep swinging and enjoying the golf game! ⛳️
PRO V1 AD Apparently. Why wasn't Snell balls tested
Snell is a really good all-around ball. You never see anyone selling them, but if you find one on the course, play it!
Titleist velocity for me. I’m almost 69 in a month. I can tee up a pro v and a velocity will beat it every time. I only have about 85 mph club head speed now, but still average 240-255 off the tee.

Bridgestone makes quality balls. I'm using their tour b rxs now, long and great around the green.
Callaway Supersoft is number 1
Thanks for your comment! Callaway Supersoft is indeed a fantastic golf ball.
Callaway ERC for me
Thanks for sharing! The Callaway ERC is a great choice! 🏌️♂️
There are very very good, average and below average senior golfers. Huh. Just like non seniors. Go figure.

Wrong on the Titelist pro V1, it’s designed for people with higher clubhead speed.
While the Pro V1 golf balls are often recommended for players with higher clubhead speeds, it's also versatile enough for a broader range of players. Some might prefer it for its feel and control, even if they don't swing as fast. It's always good to consider personal preference and playing style when choosing golf balls. ⛳️
Bogus review
These balls are not for seniors.
Our goal is to create content that everyone can enjoy. If you have specific suggestions for seniors golfer, we’d love to hear them!
Robo voiced sales drivel...
If hit correctly... The pro v1.. is 25 yards better than the rest!.. factomundo
I use the Walmart Nitro ball. I can dump it into the water or deep woods and not care since theyre about $10 for 12 balls.
Using more affordable equipment can definitely make it easier to enjoy the game without worrying too much about losing gear. Happy golfing! ⛳
Bull, this is a waste of time.
I’m sorry to hear you feel that way. I appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind for future content. 😊
Taylor made Tour Response, and WILSON Triad are good price and perfect for Seniors. 70 to 80mph swing
The TaylorMade Tour Response and WILSON Triad are indeed excellent choices for seniors Golfer, especially with a 70 to 80 mph swing speed. Their design really helps maximize distance and control. Happy golfing! ⛳️
I like the vice balls and the Callaway super soft.
Both Vice golf balls and Callaway Super Soft golf ball have their own unique feel and performance. Glad you found ones you like! 😊 happy golfing
What are ripoff pro V1 is not for senior player you don't mention anything about compression, I think you were sponsored by pro V1
