I have noticed more improvement around the green, but I have also noticed it having a more piercing flight in the wind here in Kansas, haven't played the 2021 much as I have lost all 3 of my test balls. Waiting for the loyalty rewards program to buy plenty of them though.

I can't wait to give these a go. I'll have to make a bit of a decision though, as I really like using the AVX in the wind.

Wind can be a distance killer with any ball. There is an old saying about the wind versus the golf ball. Tee it lower and swing slower. I play the Prov1, last generation and sometimes use my 3 wood off the tee, because I hit it lower with a slight draw and that helps in windy conditions. Downwind, I just tee it high and let it fly. Good for the ego. Bottom line, I DO NOT like wind. I have enough problems controlling my ball on a normal day.

I've compared 2021 Pro V1 to both the new and previous Pro V1x pretty extensively. I keep seeing the same thing. The new Pro V1 is noticeably less affected by the wind than Pro V1x. I don't recall noticing that as much with the older Pro V1 versions.

Honestly, into a cool headwind a 9-iron with Pro V1x goes about the same distance as a PW with Pro V1.

Most of the wind adjustments I've had to make with Pro V1x in the past I can cut in half since switching to 2021 Pro V1. And for light 5-10mph breezes I pretty much can ignore the wind adjustments entirely.

Of course wind performance isn't the most important thing in the world. If I didn't like the 2021 Pro V1 better overall than the Pro V1x I've been playing I wouldn't switch just because of the wind thing. But it's a big bonus.

Had played pro1x previous generation got a sleeve of these new Prov1 balls played 1 round with them then proceeded to buy a doz what a great ball, great around the greens and in the wind. Truly a awesome ball

Got a white box of Prov1x's. Played them for the first ti e in the wind, most stable in the wind of all generations. Great ball.

I guess its personal preference. I switched to the ProV1x last year because I like getting a little more spin around the green and higher spin in general with the irons. I played them on my Bandon trip last year after making the official change and really liked the performance in the wind, especially with the driver. I had experimented with the ProV1 and X all summer, was fun hitting both balls from the same spot to see the difference.

I think both are good in the wind. IMO, just comes down to the flight/spin characteristics you want.

I plan to play both the Pro V1 and the X this season. I have played the X for years. I am looking for a softer feel off the irons as I am back to forged irons after many years.
