Feel and Flight Characteristics of Titleist Golf Balls

To start, it’s important to note that different golfers experience feel in different ways. Feel is very closely tied to acoustics, so different clubs may change the perception of feel for different players. The Pro V1 has a softer feel with mid-flight trajectory, while the Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left Dash have a slightly firmer feel and higher flight than Pro V1. Titleist AVX and Tour Soft have a very soft feel with lower and mid flight trajectories. Titleist Velocity is firmer compared to AVX and Tour Soft with a higher flight and TruFeel is the softest feeling Titleist golf ball with a low penetrating flight.

Spin and Distance Profiles by Ball

Every shot you hit is going to have backspin. The backspin is driven by how you're delivering the club to the ball but also the type of club you're using. For instance, you’ll experience less spin with your low lofted driver and more spin with your high lofted wedges. The ability to generate spin on wedge shots into the green, bunker shots, and pitch shots out of the rough is important for you to be able to control the golf ball and get the result you’re looking for.

Spin is also a critical factor when you're hitting iron shots. Spin enables you to evaluate the peak height and the angle of descent of your shot as well as the reaction your golf ball has when it lands on the green. To get it close to the hole, you need to know and understand your spin rates.

Titleist golf balls differ by spin. Pro V1x will give you more spin than Pro V1. Pro V1x Left Dash has less spin than Pro V1. While AVX is the lowest-spinning urethane golf ball made by Titleist.

Tour Soft, Velocity, and TruFeel all offer low to mid spin whether it is on long game shots or short game shots. The construction differs compared to Pro V1, Pro V1x, and Pro V1x Left Dash, as these more premium offerings allow for very low long game spin and maximize short game spin for overall balanced spin and control.

When you have the right amount of spin for your game, you are going to be able to use club selection and technique to control all the different types of shots that you hit. See chart below for more details.

Golf Ball Feel Categories and Feedback Differences

Feel is a preference and doesn’t influence golf ball performance.

Different golfers experience feel in different ways. Feel is very closely tied to acoustics and the sound, so different clubs may change the perception of feel for different players. Mike Madson, VP of Golf Ball R&D at Acushnet Company, explains, “We've given players really high compression golf balls and really low compression golf balls and put headphones on them and had them hit. What we found is they can't tell the difference between the two.”

Some golfers prefer a softer feeling golf ball, others prefer a slightly firmer feeling golf ball, and different players experience that feel in different ways. Sometimes a player wants to hit putts on the green and feel the golf ball coming off the putter face. For others it's more in the short game with wedges around the green. And it can even be how it feels off the driver.

What is Feel?

Titleist Golf Ball Feel Categories by Model

  • Very soft: TruFeel (softest Titleist golf ball) AVX (soft‑feeling urethane). 
  • Soft: Pro V1 (softer feel compared to Pro V1x), Tour Soft (hidden gem with complete performance and feel).
  • Medium: Pro V1x (firmer but still soft compared to Left Dash), Velocity (firm feel with high speed),
  • Firm: Pro V1x Left Dash (firm, tour-proven low long game spin).

Distance vs. Control Trade-Offs in Ball Performance

Every Titleist golf ball is long.

The premium line-up of Pro V1, Pro V1x, and Pro V1x Left Dash offers total performance, long distance, optimal spin and control, and soft feel. AVX, Tour Soft, Velocity, and TruFeel provide various levels of greenside spin and a range of feel.

Which Titleist golf ball delivers the longest distance?

A properly fit Titleist golf ball will always maximize a player’s distance potential. If a tour player showed up on the truck with no equipment, our first step would be to fit this player for a set of irons and wedges. Then we would fit this player for their golf ball. We would finalize the fitting with a driver, because we can optimize the driver and overall distance with any of our golf balls. An example of this is recent tour winner Jake Knapp. Jake plays •Pro V1. He is a high-speed player, with plenty of spin, so his golf ball of choice helps him control spin and optimize distance. When Jake tests Pro V1x, it doesn’t fly as far, his Pro V1 is several yards longer than when he tests Pro V1x. Justin Thomas, on the other hand, plays Pro V1x to help maximize his spin and control. He is the opposite. When he hits Pro V1, it flies a few yards shorter than his Pro V1x. The longest Titleist golf ball is the one that has been fit to a player’s unique swing needs.

What are golf ball alignment aids and how do they help?

An alignment marking on your golf ball (whether it’s hand-drawn or applied during the manufacturing process) is simply an option to help you aim towards your target whether putting or hitting a drive.

Does swing speed matter when choosing a golf ball?

No. The ball doesn’t know who is hitting it. You’re best picking a ball that performs for you into and around the greens and making any necessary driver adjustment after that.
