One test nobody has done is, a salt water balance test. So I decided to do it myself. Out of 3 PXG balls in a sleeve, all balls shows perfectly balanced. No repeated spots at all. As a control I tested a sleeve of Prov1's and found one ball that was noticeably out of balance. Maybe some of the early batches had issues. All balls have them. But the ones I have seem to be perfect.
Honestly the most thorough golf ball review I’ve seen. I appreciate your objective approach. Would love to see more of this with DTC balls like Vice, Snell etc
Great video. I think sound on putting greatly depends on the putter... I too use an Odyssey putter with hinge face and usually cannot depict the sound profiles as much as my buddy with a SC with no face inserts/etc. More than anything... ball reviews are hard to do because there are SO many variables to people's golf game... I appreciate you posting your results.
went to a PXG store today for the first time ever. Gotta say im impressed. Let me hit all their clubs. let me try different driver heads and shafts as well. actually gave me a dozen pxg balls to try as well. Matt, great review as always
They're a great company to get a fitting at tbh. Even though they are there to sell their brand they don't pressure you into it and provide a lot of good info you could take elsewhere if you wanted.
This was the correct comparison. The PXG ball is extremely close to the Pro V1x. Your low spin in the first batch of 54 degree wedges was because you were hitting behind it a little. Good on you to hit a few more afterwards, which showed they're basically the same. QC is the big question mark; good job bringing that up at the end. We'll see how they do but it's certainly a strong first effort from PXG.
The scuff marks could have been from the ball picker? 12 shots with 1 ball of each from a sand trap for a durability test after the completion of all other testings for irons, driver, putter, and short game. This could be the ultimate durability test? I thought that the PXG performed better around the green than the V1X...it seemed its carry and roll were more consistent so I was surprised that you didn't find the feel as good as the V1. I think it would be really cool for you to do this exact same test between the Titleist PRO V1 and V1x vs. the Maxfli Tour and Tour x. MyGolfSpy did ball reviews on the Maxfli last year and the Maxfli Tour X version came in 3rd place right behind both the Pro V1 and V1x. The Maxfli Tour wasn't far behind. I've tried both the 2023 versions of the Maxfli and I think they made some improvements to the feel of the Tour version. It would be a really great comparison test. You can get the Maxfli Tour and Tour x at Dick's or Golf Galaxy for $40 a dozen/$ 70 for 2 dozen/$ 120 for 4 dozen.
I think it comes down to whether you use the V1 or the V1x as the benchmark - People coming from a V1 probably aren’t going to like it. People used to a V1x will feel the similarities. Great review, Matt!
Matt, you put an exclamation mark on the scientific method of investigation! Well done. I have a sleeve of PXG and was not going to even play them. Now, next time out they'll be in play. Thanks. I just subscribed.
Interesting comment on consistent quality. Easy way to test is the 'bowl of water and spin them' process. You could do that Matt. I would certainly like to see it.
This is the first time I listened to a review that you have conducted. I enjoyed it so much I hit the like and subscribe button. Even though my swing speed is nowhere near yours I found that the review was very relatable to me. The differences in equipment performance are mostly based on the quality of my ball striking. Some days I break 80 some days I don't. I now play from the forward tees where I can play my own swing without having to bust every shot to keep up with the younger big hitters. A 5 yard difference for you is negligible at my swing speed. Many reviewers only focus on their swing characteristics and not who might find a benefit from the particular club or ball they review in a relatable manner. Keep up the good job
I like the way you tested both balls. I use Bridgestone E12 Contact and whip all my ProV buddies. ProVs seem hard to me and they mark up too easy. Most people disagree. 🙄
Is the spin rate with Trackman total spin or backspin only? In most tests I am seeing, the PXG seems to have way more curve telling me the sidespin is a lot higher than others. Not great for higher spin players.
Good call on QC, I bought a dozen and I like them. But, I shoot between 75 and 85, so....its a ball. I like my Snell MTB X. Probably won't switch to PXG (and I play PXG clubs) because....$5 more for a ball that's just as good. I like PRO Vs, but $25 more than my Snell.
Vice plus same #s as prov1s at 40 percent less switched last yr after i tested on my sim. Pro v definitely top of food chain but now that the avg guy can test them and great reviews like this.. Going to get a piece of ball market pie.
I like the fact that your swing speed and ball speed numbers are human. It seems everyone else on RUclips has 125mph swing speed and 187mph ball speed. Keeping it real✌
Ok, now this is a review we can count on. Between Mr Shortgame and TXG we should know exactly how good/bad these are. Seems like they are very similar, but slight nod to Pro V1x, but at a cheaper price. I don't like the tone and color of the PXG, so no way I will use them, I will stick witht he Vice Pro Plus.
This is an excellent video. Got the impartial numbers from trackman, but also test is done outside so can see the aerodynamic properties of the ball as well. Nice work.
I started golfing a few months ago and the amount of tech involved with this sport is just mind blowing. Your review is like a college research paper lol
I think the ProVs both regular and x are the best wearing ball. The PXG was very close but the color of the PXG is white where the ProV1x looked a bit dusky in comparison. I really like the look of the PXG better.
Single digit handicapper would see the difference. Anyone else would just depend how well they played that day. I have shot in the 70's with a Pinnacle and a ProV1.
It make sense you say that Matt, prov1s have been around for some time and have been mass producing balls and quite frankly mastered the art. PXG is a new company that maybe haven’t figured it out yet
So PXG at their first go around in ball market knocks it outta park and is on plane w Titleist which cost more and have been doing it much longer. Kudos to PXG. I bought several boxes and love the new PXG ball. I also appreciate the whiter color. Easiest to see and find in rough. Won’t take long at all for PXG to address any quality control issues with the ball. Finally I love how they just have one ball now to rule them all. The ball market is too saturated and the different models give Me a headache. Hats off to PXG. 👍🏻👍🏻
Pricing may be off. ProV1 and ProV1X I’m seeing at $54.99 so the PXG is $15/dozen less expensive. Would be better to compare it to that price range ball.
Great review, Matt. I think you did a great job showcasing the data and explaining the conditions you were testing in. The big question is, will you be making the switch from your trusted PROV1X?😉
I am curious about psychological bias. It seemed that your brain wanted the familiar ball to prevail as your first SI strikes were more agg. Ive always a stickler for variables and controls. Be cool if someone teed up unmarked balls for you randomly. Having said that, i trust you as always; great review, Who's making them for PXG?
Huge difference. Honestly, if I had my latest club purchase to do over again, I’d have went with the new Taylormade cavity back. Not because I think they’re better than Vokey. Vokey are the best wedges you can get…….when you can hit em solid. I can’t, and they can be pretty daggum unforgiving.
I played the PXG ball a little last weekend because a buddy bought them and pass out a sleeve to the each of us. After a couple holes the ball had some pretty major scuffs on it.
Also, he didn’t test the compared ball the same day, in the same conditions. I think people need to stop trying to find a “poor man’s” Pro-V1(x). Its’s a solid golf ball, it’s a fair price, and it has a bunch of premium characteristics. People are missing the forest for the tree, it’s a 3 piece urethane cover ball at a mid tier price. 15 yrs ago, all premium balls were at this price point and paying an extra $15 per dozen for premium was lavish. Now you can get a real upgrade over two piece or three piece budget balls for ~$10, it’s a win for the consumer.
I find for a 10 handi-capper the PXG balls are a great fit. I don't believe most people can hit Pro-v's ones the way the pro's do so it shouldn't matter. Save the money and buy the PXG's
The knock on Kirkland has been quality. Tend to have many balls with off center cores and they lack durability. Performance on centered-core balls is pretty comparable to the premium balls, though.
I’ve been using Kirkland lately. They have a great feel, and (the extremely rare times I hit it well) they fly pretty well and check good. My biggest issue, though, has been durability. Like if I hit the chipping green after the range, they get badly scuffed after a chipping/pitching session. ProV1’s last A LOT longer
I think the durability of a kirkie is understandable Vs titleist .. the Kirkie is like $1.17 a ball and titleist is now $5. I’ll happily chuck a kirkie if it’s too scuffed up
If you learn to like the PXG better stock up. You can only order them online and shipping is slow right now and of course you have to pay for the shipping.
@@MrShortGame correct but if that balance point is inconsistant (multi spots after multi dunks) then Bryson and others have said its out of balance and should be discarded?
I thought that stat comparisons between balls should always trump what I personally felt about any of them, in that I LOVE Vice Pro's and have been playing them exclusively for over a year now, because on paper they essentially perform exactly the same as a Pro V1. That said, while I probably won't switch from the Vice Pro unless they are changed somehow, they aren't as consistent from ball to ball (i.e. looser manufacturing tolerances, and mygolfspy's tests show that) and they aren't as durable as a Pro V1. All that said, they are almost half the price of a Pro V1, when bought in bulk like I do. I would say that the differences ARE noticeable, even to a 15 handicap like myself, but the price savings are simply more important. If money were no object, I'd literally buy hundreds of Pro V1's, and unfortunately for the PXG ball, they are only slightly less expensive than the top dogs, so unless they were indistinguishable from a Pro V1x, TP5x, etc., I don't see why would wouldn't pay the extra $7 to get the better ball.
Ive watched a few videos on RUclips of golfers testing out titleist quality control. Lets say i was shocked at results. For a box of 12 titleist prov1s atleast 3 were diffective per box.!! Thats terrible for a company that charges 50 per box or over 3$ per ball! 😠 😡
I'm taking a moment for the lost ball... I do that. I feel like those poor little lost golf balls out in the weeds or woods. They must be sad and lonely out there. They rejoice when they're found.☺
Bottom line is the PXG ball is still priced too high IMO. If I'm not going to play a Pro V, I will just buy the Vice Pro +. Vice arguably makes the best golf ball at the respective price point.
Are you saying you know they don't do as good a quality control or you know they don't? Seems you could contact them and try to get an answer to that question. Obviously your not replacing your gamer (ProV1) with this ball nor did it seem you were saying better players would prefer it, did I understand your test results correctly?
Would love it if you could get in touch with Rick Shields and send him a box from your batch and see if he gets a different result to his first review. Wondering if somehow temperature is affecting the pxg. Your first robot test was done indoors. Where it performed its best. Next outdoors where it performed well and Rick tested in UK winter so I'm sure they were the coldest and performed very differently. Would love to see that tested.
At my skill level and confidence, neither of these balls fit into my price category, lol. Maybe I'll find some along the course, lost by some player trying to look fancy.
Are you worried about comparing the spin rates since the Trackman struggles to capture that data correctly on these balls? I know they recommend a ball like the prov1 RCT for accuracy.
I think this test and especially TPG’s shows that it is directly comparable. Like indistinguishable to the average person because each stat is within the margin of error
come on man the first 6 swings with the pxg were definitely slower and softer swings than the first 6 with the pro v1. Look at the carry distance and peak height, look at the video of your tempo on the swing. If you want to do a more fair comparison you need to show us club swing speed and location of ball impact on club face because they have a HUGE impact on spin , trajectory and distance.
Curious why comparison wasn’t made between PXG and Pro V1 instead of Pro V1x. PXG is a 3 piece ball as is the Pro V1. The V1x is a 4 piece ball and is softer.
I love your channel and content but this is not a good comparison at all. On your first 6 balls with pxg you were definitely swinging slower and the proof is that you only carried 80 yards with 5500 spin, then you hit 6 pro v1 balls and swung harder and that is why you carried it 85 yards and had about 7300 spin, then you hit another 6 balls with pxg and you swung even harder and averaged about 88 yards carry and about 8300 spin....so your swing speed WAS NOT CONSISTENT...and then to top it all off you averaged the 12 pxg balls with 2 sessions at drastically different swing speeds against the 6 pro v1 balls at a medium swing speed. You need to show us the swing speed and impact location on the clubface to make this a fair test. I expect a lot more precision from you when testing and I realize you are not a robot but you can clearly see that you had almost 3000 rpm difference with the 2 pxg wedge sessions because in the first session you averaged 80 yards carry and the 2nd pxg wedge session you averaged 88 yards....that is a HUGE difference for spin on a wedge with those carry distances. You edited way too much critical information out of this comparison. As braindead Biden says 'come on man'
This is the results i expect from a ball at this price point. They are paying a company in china to formulate and manufacture a ball. It’s not as good, it’s certainly not as consistent and it can’t be or it would be $54.99 a dozen live pro v. It’s plain and simple If you want the best ball the best r and d and the best quality control you have to pay for it. Even when Costco built a copy of the pro v and got sued they admitted they were losing money on the balls.
@@ericfletcher2887 whatever you say sir, its still made in a overseas ball plant where pxg is not in control of the quality of the product which is why all the top balls ie titelist, tm, bridgestone, callaway are all made in the USA where they have control over all the processes.
PXG is nonsense. They started out charging huge prices for their clubs, hoping it would convince players that "more expensive" equaled "better." That fooled a lot of people, but I knew it was a sham when they started massively discounting previous editions. The ball is a below-Tour-level ball. It is comparable to the Callaway ERC, Titleist AVX, and TM Tour Response. Urethane cover, 3-piece, and a little softer core to accommodate slower swingers. (The ones who get suckered into buying PXG.) The ball feels like it is made of aluminum. It does NOT perform like a ProV1x around the greens. Anyone can make a good ball these days--just contract it out.
The PXG ball is like LIV golf, you either like it or you don't. Not as good as the number one ball in golf, TITLEIST. For the record, the best golfers in the world play on the PGA TOUR!!!!
Lol, Matt running out there waving his hands to save a single prov1 from the picker was hilarious
Why go to an outdoor range when Mr SG has a fantastic studio setup to simulate weather conditions (assuming software) 🤔

Excellent review ! Worth mentioning, if your a first responder, or vet, they are $34.99 ! a doz.
And T PV1X is now $55 or $60 if it has the thicker alignment line… that’s a sizeable difference per dozen
KABOOM BABY! Love the different tests in different environments!
This was the correct comparison. The PXG ball is extremely close to the Pro V1x. Your low spin in the first batch of 54 degree wedges was because you were hitting behind it a little. Good on you to hit a few more afterwards, which showed they're basically the same. QC is the big question mark; good job bringing that up at the end. We'll see how they do but it's certainly a strong first effort from PXG.
any chance you can test all the titleist balls against each other ? Would be nice to know the best option for a mid handicapper.
The scuff marks could have been from the ball picker? 12 shots with 1 ball of each from a sand trap for a durability test after the completion of all other testings for irons, driver, putter, and short game. This could be the ultimate durability test? I thought that the PXG performed better around the green than the V1X...it seemed its carry and roll were more consistent so I was surprised that you didn't find the feel as good as the V1.

You can get the Maxfli Tour and Tour x at Dick's or Golf Galaxy for $40 a dozen/$ 70 for 2 dozen/$ 120 for 4 dozen.
I think it comes down to whether you use the V1 or the V1x as the benchmark - People coming from a V1 probably aren’t going to like it. People used to a V1x will feel the similarities. Great review, Matt!
That was my thought as well. I assumed the PXG ball is supposed to be a ProV1 type ball speed the ProV1X
Matt, you put an exclamation mark on the scientific method of investigation! Well done. I have a sleeve of PXG and was not going to even play them. Now, next time out they'll be in play. Thanks. I just subscribed.

Looks like a solid deal for the PXG, hate the huge logo but putter alignment looks good!!

Would love to see the same test and review comparing PXG Xtreme to the Kirkland Signature V2 ball
Go back and look at TXG review of Kirkland and their recent PXG review.
Ok, now this is a review we can count on. Between Mr Shortgame and TXG we should know exactly how good/bad these are.
Seems like they are very similar, but slight nod to Pro V1x, but at a cheaper price.

This is an excellent video. Got the impartial numbers from trackman, but also test is done outside so can see the aerodynamic properties of the ball as well. Nice work.
Some of the other testers noticed scuff marks after hitting out the bunkers. Did you do a bunker test?
Love your videos, was anyone else excited when rick and Mr shortgame were talking at the golf show that they might have a collab?
Would have like to see the ProV1 in that test. I tend to find the ProV1X too firm

Unbiased technology review. I like it.
Do you think there is a difference between wedges like vokey and TM wedges
Huge difference. Honestly, if I had my latest club purchase to do over again, I’d have went with the new Taylormade cavity back. Not because I think they’re better than Vokey. Vokey are the best wedges you can get…….when you can hit em solid. I can’t, and they can be pretty daggum unforgiving.
Sooooo why did the GG putter come out of the bag?
I played the PXG ball a little last weekend because a buddy bought them and pass out a sleeve to the each of us. After a couple holes the ball had some pretty major scuffs on it.
Don’t hit it in the trees then mate
Rick’s test wasn’t really fair as he compared PXG to ProV1 (and not the X). Nice Review!
Also, he didn’t test the compared ball the same day, in the same conditions. I think people need to stop trying to find a “poor man’s” Pro-V1(x).

To be fair PXG compared their ball to the pro V1. That being said the X is a better comparison and I really do like the PXG ball myself.
Pro v1. 54.99. PXG. 39.99. Same performance
I find for a 10 handi-capper the PXG balls are a great fit. I don't believe most people can hit Pro-v's ones the way the pro's do so it shouldn't matter. Save the money and buy the PXG's

Great review
You should have cut open the pxg to see if the core was off-center. That might explain the added curve.
Probably a bigger core.
I find 5x as many ProV balls in the weeds and water than any other ball. Definitely a waste of money for 5 hcp and above.
Exactly. I’ve given away thousands of dollars worth of em to the scuba guys over the years. LOL.

the moment of silence was too good🤣🤣
you mentioned quality, do you do/agree/disagree the "ball water tests for balanced balls"? is that real or myth?
All that shows is the actual balance point. I would vary slightly for every ball regardless of brand.
@@MrShortGame correct but if that balance point is inconsistant (multi spots after multi dunks) then Bryson and others have said its out of balance and should be discarded?
I thought that stat comparisons between balls should always trump what I personally felt about any of them, in that I LOVE Vice Pro's and have been playing them exclusively for over a year now, because on paper they essentially perform exactly the same as a Pro V1. That said, while I probably won't switch from the Vice Pro unless they are changed somehow, they aren't as consistent from ball to ball (i.e. looser manufacturing tolerances, and mygolfspy's tests show that) and they aren't as durable as a Pro V1. All that said, they are almost half the price of a Pro V1, when bought in bulk like I do. I would say that the differences ARE noticeable, even to a 15 handicap like myself, but the price savings are simply more important. If money were no object, I'd literally buy hundreds of Pro V1's, and unfortunately for the PXG ball, they are only slightly less expensive than the top dogs, so unless they were indistinguishable from a Pro V1x, TP5x, etc., I don't see why would wouldn't pay the extra $7 to get the better ball.
So for me, I see PV1x at $55 a dozen in most stores. I will pay $35 a dozen with a Heroes discount for the PXG. Seems like a no brainer for me.
what happened to the good good putter?

I don't even watch Rick's golf ball reviews. He doesn't have a good enough short game to be giving accurate feedback about performance.

The sound difference is obvious while putting. PXG has a higher pitch. Sounds harder.
Ive watched a few videos on RUclips of golfers testing out titleist quality control. Lets say i was shocked at results. For a box of 12 titleist prov1s atleast 3 were diffective per box.!! Thats terrible for a company that charges 50 per box or over 3$ per ball! 😠 😡
The PXG is $15 less then the new ProV1x.
I'm taking a moment for the lost ball...
I do that. I feel like those poor little lost golf balls out in the weeds or woods. They must be sad and lonely out there. They rejoice when they're found.☺

Bottom line is the PXG ball is still priced too high IMO. If I'm not going to play a Pro V, I will just buy the Vice Pro +. Vice arguably makes the best golf ball at the respective price point.
Are you saying you know they don't do as good a quality control or you know they don't? Seems you could contact them and try to get an answer to that question. Obviously your not replacing your gamer (ProV1) with this ball nor did it seem you were saying better players would prefer it, did I understand your test results correctly?
I don’t have a dog in this hunt, we don’t fight with dogs get your metaphors, correct.

Why couldn't your swing cause the inconsistency you feel?
Your review was much different than Rick Shields.

150 into green, I love ❤ my Pro V1
What’s up with your goal of senior tour?
Would love it if you could get in touch with Rick Shields and send him a box from your batch and see if he gets a different result to his first review.
Wondering if somehow temperature is affecting the pxg. Your first robot test was done indoors. Where it performed its best. Next outdoors where it performed well and Rick tested in UK winter so I'm sure they were the coldest and performed very differently. Would love to see that tested.
Send rick a voucher for a short game lesson lol. If he's gonna break 75 that's where it's going to happen, for all of us
Why is the wind effecting shots on Trackman? Can’t you set it to “normalized” and rule out wind and just go off of ball performance data?
Normalizing it would not give us real data. This test was to get the reality of the ball.
At my skill level and confidence, neither of these balls fit into my price category, lol. Maybe I'll find some along the course, lost by some player trying to look fancy.
Are you worried about comparing the spin rates since the Trackman struggles to capture that data correctly on these balls? I know they recommend a ball like the prov1 RCT for accuracy.
That's indoors. Trackman is perfectly capable of tracking spin of any ball outdoors
Nothing sounds the same to me
The PXG isn't a bad ball. I just don't think its comparable to a premium ball like the ProV1 or TP5
I think this test and especially TPG’s shows that it is directly comparable. Like indistinguishable to the average person because each stat is within the margin of error
Good Good Putter?

come on man the first 6 swings with the pxg were definitely slower and softer swings than the first 6 with the pro v1. Look at the carry distance and peak height, look at the video of your tempo on the swing. If you want to do a more fair comparison you need to show us club swing speed and location of ball impact on club face because they have a HUGE impact on spin , trajectory and distance.

Your that guy that you always say to watch out for cheating! 2 bogey and one par I saw that! Lol
Nevermind that was your birdie look. I'll catch you one day!
Curious why comparison wasn’t made between PXG and Pro V1 instead of Pro V1x. PXG is a 3 piece ball as is the Pro V1. The V1x is a 4 piece ball and is softer.
walmart hit me again balls pro style 14 usd for 24 balls. seems I will have to wait for the pxg fan boys to pump them into the ponds. hit em wet 🤪

Why does the PXG logo seem huge? No thx
Look like you very short with 7 iron and driver... My 7 iron here with pro v1x from the turf not off the tee is 185 meters
CHEAPTER?
I love your channel and content but this is not a good comparison at all. On your first 6 balls with pxg you were definitely swinging slower and the proof is that you only carried 80 yards with 5500 spin, then you hit 6 pro v1 balls and swung harder and that is why you carried it 85 yards and had about 7300 spin, then you hit another 6 balls with pxg and you swung even harder and averaged about 88 yards carry and about 8300 spin....so your swing speed WAS NOT CONSISTENT...and then to top it all off you averaged the 12 pxg balls with 2 sessions at drastically different swing speeds against the 6 pro v1 balls at a medium swing speed. You need to show us the swing speed and impact location on the clubface to make this a fair test. I expect a lot more precision from you when testing and I realize you are not a robot but you can clearly see that you had almost 3000 rpm difference with the 2 pxg wedge sessions because in the first session you averaged 80 yards carry and the 2nd pxg wedge session you averaged 88 yards....that is a HUGE difference for spin on a wedge with those carry distances. You edited way too much critical information out of this comparison. As braindead Biden says 'come on man'

This is the results i expect from a ball at this price point. They are paying a company in china to formulate and manufacture a ball. It’s not as good, it’s certainly not as consistent and it can’t be or it would be $54.99 a dozen live pro v. It’s plain and simple If you want the best ball the best r and d and the best quality control you have to pay for it. Even when Costco built a copy of the pro v and got sued they admitted they were losing money on the balls.
PXG ball is made in Vietnam, big difference from China
@@ericfletcher2887 whatever you say sir, its still made in a overseas ball plant where pxg is not in control of the quality of the product which is why all the top balls ie titelist, tm, bridgestone, callaway are all made in the USA where they have control over all the processes.
PXG is nonsense. They started out charging huge prices for their clubs, hoping it would convince players that "more expensive" equaled "better." That fooled a lot of people, but I knew it was a sham when they started massively discounting previous editions.
The ball is a below-Tour-level ball. It is comparable to the Callaway ERC, Titleist AVX, and TM Tour Response. Urethane cover, 3-piece, and a little softer core to accommodate slower swingers. (The ones who get suckered into buying PXG.)
The ball feels like it is made of aluminum. It does NOT perform like a ProV1x around the greens. Anyone can make a good ball these days--just contract it out.

The PXG ball is like LIV golf, you either like it or you don't. Not as good as the number one ball in golf, TITLEIST. For the record, the best golfers in the world play on the PGA TOUR!!!!
