5 star review

NCG SUMMARY

For most professional golfers, the Titleist Pro V1 remains the first choice of golf ball. After hitting a few balls it wasn’t hard to see why. Titleist have improved the performance of the 2025 model from the old model.

Longer distances off tee have been provided from a lower spin rate. Being able to hit the ball further is always going to be a big selling pointer most club golfers and this doesn’t disappoint in that department. To accompany the increased distances a soft feel is also promoted for golfer’s short game.

First Impressions

Let’s be honest there isn’t much a golf manufacturer can do with the look of the golf ball outside of the different colours available. Titleist have kept the same traditional look synonymous with the Pro V1.

titleist 2025 pro v1 review

There has been a variation in the number of dimples that have been included in the construction of the golf ball.

NCG Verdict

According to Titleist, the main difference between the 2025 offerings of the Pro V1 and the Pro V1x is the promoted ball flight. The brand believe there isn’t much difference in terms of difference which is exactly what I experienced out on the golf course.

Over the course of testing the Titleist Pro V1 produced an average carry of 282 yards off the tee. This was around three yards up on the Pro V1x, so a fairly similar return, whilst the average total distance with the driver in hand was just above 300 yards.

A positive for a lot of club golfers is that this ball produces a low level of spin for the longer hitting shots. The secret to this is the high flex casing layer which sits between the cover and the core of the ball.

Equally the reason for the increase in spin around the greens is the urethane elastomer cover. The supers soft cover supplies plenty of grab for the club then ultimately the greens for added spin. I found there was an especially sharp grab on the second bounce on the putting surface from this golf ball.

Titleist have virtually owned the category for best feeling golf balls for around the green and their grip on being the industry standard for that hasn’t wavered with the 2025 iterations.

The Pro V1 feels a lot softer the Pro V1x and almost gives the impression it is stuck on the face a fraction longer. I’m sure it technically doesn’t, but that’s how it feels when sticking the ball.

It’s a lower pitched sound of the face that meets you when using this golf ball. This is something that is more evident on the greens and off the putter face.

titleist 2025 pro v1 review

Overall, Titleist have made some noticeable improvements in the performance of the new model compared to previous generations. I was able to produce a quicker ball speed of 1.2mph, which is a fair amount for a golf ball. The launch angle was also a touch higher but the biggest change was a radical decrease in the spin rate. It came down by 512rpm from the strikes I hit with the previous model.

This reduction in spin has lead to even further distances. I averaged a 274 carry whilst testing the older ball and a 288 yard carry with the new one. Even more remarkable was an increase in 18 yards of total distance.

If you are a Titleist Pro V1 player and are looking to switch straight into the 2025 version, then I think it’s going to be pretty seamless and beneficial. You’ll get more distance of the tee, less spin but that same desirable feel around the greens.

Not only is this a direct swap, but a big upgrade.

About the author

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
