For years, Titleist Pro V1 golf balls have been the standard. It is the most played ball in professional tournaments and the benchmark against which other golf balls are measured.
IN MyGolfSpy 2025 Golf Ball Test, For V1 not every category dominated. Instead, the data gives a clearer picture of why the Pro V1 has earned its reputation and who should be playing it. Here are five things the 2025 ball test reveals For V1 and if they are in your bag.
Pro V1 It is the benchmark used to measure every other ball
One of the most overlooked details in the 2025 Test Ball is that For V1 was used as our calibration (control) ball throughout testing. This matters.
The use of a control ball allows us to normalize the data for several days, locations and environmental conditions. For V1 was chosen because it gives consistent and repeatable results across speed, flight and roll.
This is not done automatically For V1 “the best” but reinforces his role as a base for premium performance.
The Pro V1 offers a mid-rotation, mid-flight profile with high-speed motion
During high, medium and low movement speed testing, For V1 consistently appeared in the middle rotation category. This durability is one of its defining features. Test data shows that it pairs controlled driver spin with a playable flight window and enough spin to maintain control on greens without ballooning.
This does For V1 one of the few premium balls that doesn’t materially change character as swing speed changes, which helps explain why it continues to appeal to such a wide range of players.
Iron performance is one of the Pro V1’s quiet strengths
At medium swing speed, For V1 was identified as a strong option for players looking for iron distance coupled with usable spin, not just distance. It avoids too low rev profiles that can compromise stopping power. It also avoids moving into too heavy a territory.
Iron performance differences between balls are often more subtle than wedge differences, but For V1 predictable flight, controlled roll and no surprises are consistently provided.
The Pro V1 offers reliable control on the green side, not max spin
The 35-yard wedge test is where the biggest performance gaps between balls and For V1 behaves exactly as expected for a premium urethane ball.
It does NO run the test on the green side spin. Balls like TP5, TOUR B XS AND Chrome X tour produce higher torque numbers. However, For V1 remains firmly at the performance level of urethane, offering significantly more control than any non-polymer option.
The Pro V1 makes sense if you value balance, not if you need extremes
The 2025 test data makes this clear For V1 balls are built for players who want balanced performance without following a single feature.
You are likely to be eligible for For V1 if you:
- You want a mid-flight, mid-spin profile that works throughout the bag
- Appreciate consistent iron performance and predictable wedge behavior
- Prefer a slightly softer feel than Pro V1x
You may want to look elsewhere if:
- Need higher flight or more long game spins (Pro V1x)
- You want the flattest and lowest driver flight possible (Pro V1x Left Dash)
- Prioritize maximum greenside spin over everything else
The final take
For V1 balls continue to succeed by avoiding weaknesses, delivering consistent performance across all swing speeds, clubs and conditions. To learn more about how all Titleist golf balls performed in 2025 testing, check out this article: Top rated golf balls 2025.
