One of these balls is 8 yards longer is it the Yellow or the White Pro V1x Titleist Golf Ball?

Thanks Matt!
Just an observation but I noticed the spin rate is italicized which means it’s estimating. Won’t that effect carry distance? Whenever I’m in a Trackman indoors, I put the reflective dot on the ball for more accurate numbers.
the metric system thanks you!! 😉 greets from canada
Matt you need to find something better to do with your time.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A kitchen scale is not really the best thing to use. they have at least a gramm measuring tolerance. and that is already 3% of the ball weight. imagine your body scale would deviate by 4 pounds would you use it?
Good analysis of the 2 colors Matt. I think its psychological too. I switched from white to orange because I was having difficulty seeing where my ball was landing and noticed and felt that I was striking my shots better. By the way the ball in your video was green right? lol 🤣
I don’t know why I don’t like hitting color balls
I play the yellow AVX. It’s sturdier and a little longer than the white AVX. Can be hard to find in the rough though.
I dip my balls in methylated spirt and light them just prior to hitting off the tee. Makes them much easier to see though this technique can only be used in the winter due to the risk of fire on the course.
seriously though Matt – could the difference be down to the fact that you hit the yellow balls second and would therefore be slightly more loose/warmed up?
Is the Callaway Supersoft MAX not a "bigger" ball ?
Maybe try a test between them and the ProV1x.
The Topflite XL 2000 2 piece ball was larger – not sure if they still make them ?
I like using green balls because when I go up to the green I know which ball is mine, If I gave ten people calipers to measure something you would get ten different measurements. Difficult to use consistantly. Noticed some slight difference in colors which would effect the durometer of the material making it softer or harder. Would be good to test different lots.
To my eye….it appears that the yellow ball has a smoother surface. It could be the lighting.
Great video. I cant feel difference when I play them. Buy the yellow just feel plasticly in a strange way when holding them in hand
The inner mantle of the yellow ball looks like it has a larger diameter.
Was super lucky to get the Titleist white box last summer for ball testing what is now the 2023 ProV1 and ProV1x. These were the bomb. The x was hands down the best ball. I outdrove the Vice I was using by 20 yards. In some cases I hit PB distances with the ball. In one case 30 yards further than I had ever driven a ball on that hole. I felt the production version of the ball was about 10 yards shorter, but made a recent grip change which has produced surprising results. In addition moved from PXG Gen 3 fairways to G425 Max fairways this week, so we'll see what happens.
It seems like the yellow has a larger core.
I prefer the pink ones. They smell like a pretty girl and nobody picks up my ball from the fairway.
per Wikipedia: Under the rules of golf, a golf ball has a mass no more than 1.620 oz (45.9 g), has a diameter not less than 1.680 inches (42.7 mm)
Wow, so Titleist is producing non-conforming golf balls? 42.62 < 42.7 (42.672 actually) (minimum) ; Who is wrong? Titleist or Wikipedia?
The real question here is why do you have a gram scale?
The color is causing the difference in numbers with your launch monitor.
Those subtle differences – I really could imagine that the color itself might have an influence on the launch monitors sensing and processing. In other words, on a real range the actual distances might not be that different.
At one time Europe played a smaller heavier golf ball than the America golf ball?
You’re assuming you actually measured a difference. Pretty sure the measuring tools at Titleist have better tolerances than the ones you got at your local hardware store.
I personally use yellow balls in general as less people use it and it's just easier to see and identify. It's also easier to spot in the air if its a cloudy day I think.
Most manufacturers work within an acceptable range, not only with golf balls but almost every item out there. They probably have a “+,-“ factor in QC
Did you put the calipers on the different pieces of the ball after cut open? Looks like the yellow cover is thicker and some of the inner cores are different ball to ball.
It looks like the core of the yellow ball is larger
Yes one is yellow one is white. Huge difference
When you cut the yellow and white, you could really see the difference, though slight, in the thickness of the paint layer.
Congrats on 400k!
For every person watching this…… there is no significant difference at all. Basically you play what you feel like playing. Your comparison wasn't really scientific enough to prove anything at all. I am however looking forward to seeing your vlog where you dispel all rumors about area 51. That should be revealing! 😎
I feel like I get a better strike on the ball because it stands out so much sitting on the ground.
I play with pro 1x from years I feel yellow litter harder than the white
Please more scientific experiments!
could you do a comparison to all the colors etc?
Interesting initial findings my friend but are these data differences statistically significant and could a larger sample size reduce those differences to insignificance? More testing using random sampling (with means, P values, and other statistical tools) and larger sample sizes could potentially provide an answer.
You are spot on on seeing colors differently…the white ball you held up looks yellow to me and the yellow ball you held up looks white…go figure!
I always found the yellow pro V1 more clicky (very slightly harder) than the white – maybe you should add a hardness test to your protocol? Dropping onto a tiled floor can be informative too!
