I am staggered genuinely how little difference there is

Staggeringly close to a Pro V1 off the driver for a dollar a ball, let down by greenside spin and durability.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 4 cons
  • +Only 3 yards less carry and 1.3 mph less ball speed than a Pro V1 with driver
  • +Same 175 yard seven iron carry as the Pro V1
  • +Extremely soft feel and sound off the face, great for putting
  • Around 1,000 rpm less wedge spin than a Pro V1, chips release rather than grab
  • 800 rpm less seven iron spin
  • Scuffed up noticeably after a single round of testing

For: Golfers who want near-premium distance at a budget price and don't need maximum greenside spin.
