The 2024 version of Titleist AVX is a three-piece golf ball with a smaller core and thicker urethane cover. It is designed to have low spin and a soft feel off the tee, but also generate more green side spin than previous versions. It is a good option for players who generate excessive spin and prefer a softer feeling golf ball. The best way to determine if AVX is right for you is to try it out on the course and compare it to other Titleist golf balls.

for 2024 titles has not updated the
prov1 or the prov1x but there is a new
version of AVX and I think it’s a golf
ball that a lot of players don’t really
fully understand so in this video I’m
going to explain to you everything you
need to know about the Titleist AVX for
2024 so let’s start right from the
beginning AVX title AVX stands for
alternative to V and X and this golf
ball has been around since 2017 like the
Titleist prov1 it’s a three-piece golf
ball as you can see here it has a very
large rubber core and it’s that is
surrounded by a relatively firm casing
layer and on the outside just like the
prov1 and the prov1x this golf ball has
a urethane cover okay so from the getg
go tidalist AVX has always been a ball
that spins less and feels softer and
creates a lower ball flight than either
the prov1 or the prov1x and for 2024
what title set out to do was create more
greens side spin without necessarily
sacrificing that low spin off the tea
and with long irons and without
sacrificing that lower trory for players
who really generate a lot of excessive
spin both off the tea and with their
longer clubs so how do they go about
doing that first they actually made the
core of the golf ball physically smaller
now this is a gradient core which means
that the innermost portion of the core
itself is the softest and then as you
work your way towards the outside of the
perimeter of the golf ball the core
itself gets firmer and firmer now all of
that is encased in a very firm casing
layer so when a golfer basically strikes
the ball with a golf face or a club face
I should say that’s more vertical a
driver uh a long iron Etc the energy is
going to be transferred through the
cover through that casing layer and into
the core and that’s what’s going to help
to generate a lot more ball speed so
that’s the story with the core and for
the most part the casing layer really
hasn’t changed but by making the core
itself a little bit smaller it allowed
title’s designers and Engineers to be
able to make the cover material a little
bit thicker it’s still a very very soft
urethane um but it is a thicker urethane
cover and that allows the SC and your
wedges and in your short IRS to grab a
hold of it a little bit more effectively
and create more spin when you’re going
with clubs that that have more Loft so
again you’re getting the benefit of low
spin off the tea low trajectory off the
tea soft feel off the tea but then when
you get around the greens you’re going
to get more green side spin than you
would have gotten from previous
generations of AVX Now The dimple
pattern in the 2024 AVX originally was
put into a Titleist tour softball that
golf ball is a two-piece golf ball a
distance golf while something that’s at
a much lower price point um but when
it’s put onto the AVX according to
titles it really helps with the
aerodynamics and it helps the ball
maintain stability through the wind so
it’s not going to get pushed around
nearly as much as it would okay so
that’s what you need to know about the
2024 AVX how does that golf ball relate
to the prov1x well the prov1x is a
four-piece golf ball this has two cores
surrounded by a mantle layer and a
urethane cover whereas AVX is three the
title is Prov 1X is going to be the
highest flying off the te and the
highest spinning off the te golf ball
amongst the prov1x the prov1 and the AVX
so if you’re somebody who is looking to
create more carry distance on your
drives if you’re somebody who wants a
very firm feeling golf ball the title
pro1x is also going to have the highest
compression we’re now talking a golf
ball that’s probably going to be in the
mid90s whereas the AVX again has a
compression around 80s so it’s going to
be a significant difference in feel and
in sound around the greens the title
prov1x will also Alo generate a little
bit more green side spin than the tital
list AVX if you then transition and try
and do a comparison between AVX and
prov1 now we’re getting a little bit
closer tile prov1 is a three-piece golf
ball just like AVX is a three-piece golf
ball but this golf ball the provie one
has a higher compression it’s also going
to create a little bit more spin at
launch it’s also going to create a
slightly higher launch angle with all of
your longer clubs the titlist AVX is
going to spin less and have a lower
trajectory off the and with your longer
clubs than with the prov1 around the
green because it has a slightly higher
overall compression the titles prov1
will probably spin just a little bit
more than even the new 2024 updated
version of AVX okay so if that’s the
case who is AVX 4 well I think the
obvious thing is anybody who ex
generates excessive spin off the te and
with their longer clubs is potentially a
candidate for AVX it will spin less it
will also create a lower launch angle so
if you’re somebody who just tends to
really send your drives and your long
iron shots to the moons to the point
where you’re robbing yourself of
distance if you were going to be using a
prov1 or prov1x AVX might be able give
you a little bit more overall distance
because it’s going to reduce spin it’s
going to lower your flight and you’re
probably going to get more overall
distance with that if you’re a golfer
who just insists on playing a softer
feeling golf ball but you want a
tidalist ball with a urethane cover the
Titleist AVX is going to be the softest
feeling of the premium golf balls in the
Titleist stable for 2024 the benefit
being that you’re going to get that soft
feel you’re going to get that reduced
spin with the longer clubs and you’re
going to get that lower launch angle but
the 2024 edition of AVX is going to spin
on approach shots a little bit more than
the previous versions of AVX look the
best way to find out whether AVX or
prov1 or prov1x is going to be right for
you is to grab a sleeve of these golf
balls take them out of the golf course
and put them through their Paces start
at the green hit a series of Chip shots
pitch shots bunker shots see how they
feel to you see how much spin you
generate around the greens on your short
game shot
do you prefer one to the other do you
find that you’re able to control the
ball a little bit more effectively with
one from the other then work your way
back away from the green hit some
midiron shots hit some shots um with
your longer irons your hybrids then go
off the te the last place where you try
out these golf balls is going to be off
the te because performance- wise
distance-wise they’re going to be most
similar off the te the biggest
difference between these golf balls will
probably be felt from say like eight
iron seven iron and closer to the green
around the greens you’re going to see a
bigger difference between these golf
balls than you will off the tea there’s
just no getting around it the best way
to find out which title this golf ball
is going to be right for you is to go
out there and try them for yourself
