NCG verdict: Titleist 2024 AVX golf ball

What’s new? How much does it cost? And how does it perform? Jack Backhouse brings you the low down on the latest Titleist AVX golf ball

The Titleist 2024 AVX is the latest iteration of the brand’s premium golf ball. It is aimed at players who crave tour-level feel, controlled greenside spin, and more distance off the tee. Designed with a larger core, an improved high-flex casing layer, and a refined urethane cover, the AVX continues to be the ideal alternative to the Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

So, we put this Titleist model to the test to see how it stacks up. Find out how it went in our Titleist 2024 AVX golf ball review…

Titleist AVX Golf Ball Review: NCG Summary

5 star review
NCG SUMMARY

This really is a brilliant golf ball with plenty of performance to offer. Performance that makes it a very credible alternative to the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

Around the greens the level of control I was able to exhibit was great. It also continues to excel off the tee as the low spin and flatter ball flight generate phenomenal distance.

PROS

  • Exceptional greenside control
  • Promotes a penetrating ball flight off the tee
  • Excellent stopping power on the greens

CONS

  • None

First Impressions

The first thing that stands out about the Titleist 2024 AVX is its sleek appearance. The new dimple pattern is noticeably different from the Pro V1 and Pro V1x and is designed to promote a flatter ball flight of the club face. Another standout feature is the alignment aid on the side, which is looks great and is very functional on the greens.

NCG Review

Around the greens, the AVX impressed me with its tour-level urethane cover. It generated plenty of spin and the numbers I recorded were even comparable to the Pro V1 and Pro V1x. On 50-yard wedge shots, I recorded an average 7,700 RPM, with some shots exceeding 8,100 RPM which is a truly elite level of spin for control around the greens.

With irons, the AVX maintains its lower-spin design while still offering excellent stopping power on the greens. Launch angles remained controlled, and ball speed was consistently higher than models like the Titleist Tour Soft and Velocity. This makes it a great choice for players who want extra distance without losing that quality touch.

The AVX really shined off the tee. During testing it produced ball speeds up to 158 mph, with a low backspin rate of 2,100 RPM, which resulted in a carry distance of 277 yards and a total rollout of 299 yards. The lower spin characteristics mean the ball tended to stay on a more penetrating flight path, which is of course ideal for players looking to maximize distance without excessive ballooning.

All in all then, it’s clear Titleist has continued to deliver with the AVX 2024. It offers exceptional greenside control, low spin for distance, and a flatter, more controlled ball flight. While players who rely heavily on high-spin full shots may prefer the Pro V1 or Pro V1x, the AVX is an excellent choice for those seeking a premium alternative that delivers distance without sacrificing short-game performance. Another 5-star performance from Titleist, proving yet again why they are considered leaders in the golf ball market.

About the author

Callaway Epic Max driver review
Jack Backhouse

A member of the PGA for 13 years, Jack has lived golf for more than half his life. Inspired by Tiger Wood’s winning putt at the 2008 US Open, an obsession began with watching slow motion golf swings on the internet and reading What’s In The Bag articles in magazines.

Not destined for a life behind the desk in a pro shop, Jack has focussed more on coaching, working closely with regional teams in North Yorkshire and helping golfers of all levels on their journey to enjoying playing the game more. Jack has coached many junior golfers into the county teams, and once worked with a player at the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie.

After letting his game fall apart prior to COVID, Jack rediscovered his love for playing golf after joining Silloth Golf Club in 2020 and whipping round the windy, firm links course. Playing regularly with a half set of clubs he has a passion for shot making and developing skill, and claims to have the sharpest 30-100 yard game in the North of England (only because he doesn’t know anyone in the South), and now maintains a +1 handicap at a club much closer to home, Sand Moor GC.

Jack has always tinkered with his equipment, once building his own Frankenstein one length set of clubs after watching Bryson DeChambeau burst onto the scene after winning the US Amateur. He firmly believes in getting custom fit and is happy to debate anyone about blade irons being superior to any other iron category.

Jack loves: playing quickly, 2 ball golf, match play, heathland courses, pencil bags, foursomes, Tiger Wood’s swing 2005-2009.

Jack hates: buggies, unnecessary trees, giving shots, the 7 iron loft debate, graphite shaft lovers weird superiority complex.
