Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls Review

Titleist must really want us to buy their new balls. My golf mates and I bought the Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls so that we can stock up on golf balls for our regular weekend round of golf. We usually get recycled golf balls because we aren't really competitive golfers and just play for pleasure and don't need the additional burden of costly brand new balls in packs of 5. We were initially deterred by the price of the Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls which came in at around $85 but we kind of thought that these golf balls were Titleist which we have associated with superior quality and there were four of us splitting the cost anyway. Unfortunately, we found ourselves rummaging through 72 balls trying to find nearly pristine specimens. Simply put, the Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls are really that--recycled. These aren't even refurbished so you'll have an equal chance of finding golf balls in the Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls pack that have blemishes, nicks, cuts and player markings (some have even "PRACTICE" stamped on them) from golf balls that are actually playable. The Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls comes in two packages of 36 recycled golf balls for a sum total of 72 and we counted about 20 totally unusable balls bringing the total of playable golf balls to around 50 which for us do not anymore justify its $85 price tag.

Fortunately, the Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls are a collection of different recycled mid-grade Titleist golf ball models. So you ARE playing a Titleist golf ball, albeit recycled. The playable balls from the Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls were still pretty good though, providing decent flight, distance and spin we've come to expect from the popular Titleist brand of golf balls. Good enough results if you aren't a professional expecting to use these balls on the pro tour. The Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls were shabbily packaged into two giant cylindrical plastic zip bags that are a bit too bulky for you to even re-use as a depository for your sweaty golf shirts in your golf bag. If you stamp the word 'recycled' into a product, you might as well package it in something recyclable as well.

Overall, the Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls are more suited for beginners who are prone to losing balls on water hazards or teenagers looking to goof around while playing golf but the price tag even alienates that target market. The Titleist PRO V1X Recycled Golf Balls may be useful for driving practice in the club practice range and backyard pitching practice sessions but who would want to pay $85 for golf balls you wouldn't want nor feel confident to use on the golf course?
