I tried Pro v's in the past and just did not get the increase in yardage everyone else was claiming,but these "tour" balls were 20yds longer{with driver} than any other ball I have hit.I was told that sidespin was also reduced.Now it may have been psychological, but I have used one ball for my last 3 rounds.It is very difficult to hit a fade/draw but if you want to hook /slice deliberately then the ball will move. I was told by the guy who gave me them that they are "not for sale in the shops". Any of you Pro's any comment's? Neil, When you tried prov1 in the past did you try the regular prov1 or the x? The prov1x spins less and will go farther with a driver than the std prov1. I use the x for this reason and because I tend to spin the regular prov1 to much with short irons.
