It's not just premium-priced, tour-endorsed models that Titleist has to offer. There's a diverse range of balls that cater to all abilities and budgets. For example, there's the TruFeel and Tour Soft, models that still provide excellent performance and won't break the bank.
It's crucial to find a ball that's fits your unique needs. After all, the golf ball is the only constant for every shot. In this guide, we've tried to simplify your purchasing by testing and then providing detailed insights on Titleist's range of golf balls.

The Quick List
The new and improved 2025 Pro V1 is the gold standard of premium golf balls, providing a strong, consistent ball flight and consistency throughout the golf bag.
The 2025 Pro V1x spins more than the standard model, allowing for ample short game control. It too boasts a strong, consistent ball flight that will please golfers of all abilities.
The Titleist AVX remains a really solid option for those looking for low spin in their long game, whilst maintaining a premium feel. The AVX delivers performance at a fair price

The Titleist 2024 Tour Soft is a mid-priced ball that delivers impressive performance. The soft feel will please those who prioritise this, particularly with the scoring clubs but, thanks to a new faster core, ball speeds also remained fairly high.
The Titleist Trufeel is the perfect ball for beginner golfers just starting the game as well as higher handicapped golfers who seek a strong performing ball that doesn’t break the bank.

Top pick
The Pro V1 has always had its place on the Mount Rushmore of premium golf balls and the 2025 version does nothing but cement its position at the top of the game. Carrying on from the success of the 2023 ball, the latest edition delivers a soft, responsive feel whilst providing a little extra distance from the tee that will be well received by regular users.
Ball flight off the tee is now increasingly consistent and stable, performing exceptionally well in windy conditions by cutting through the draft. I didn't see any major drop offs in distance when hitting into the wind and crosswinds also had limited impact on trajectory.
The Pro V1 really excelled when I had iron in my hand during testing. I felt in control of the golf ball no matter the distance and well hit shots had consistent carry numbers. This is a ball that shines with approach shots but performs brilliantly throughout the bag - it will be hard to find a better performing golf ball in 2025.

Used on Tour
The Pro v1x has upgraded from the 2023 version in two main categories - it's now faster, particularly off the tee, and is now lower spinning throughout the bag. It boasts a four layer construction compared to three inside the regular Pro V1, allowing it to spin more on full swing shots and additionally have a slightly firmer feel.
During testing I saw a 0.5mph speed increase compared to the older model. My carry distance increased by three yards and total distance increased by four - this doesn't sound like a lot, but I'd confidently say most golfers will see at least a 1mph speed gain by switching the newer model and even increases that sound minimal have a bigger effect when out on the course. I found short game feel remained exceptional as well.
This ball flies as strong as anything on the market, making it one of the best golf balls for distance. I noticed when trying it out that I could carry trees or hazards that previously required my Sunday best strike. The 'X' does feel noticeably firmer than the regular Pro V1, but this is an observation rather than a criticism - I'd recommend getting a golf ball fitting to determine whether the regular Pro V1 or the Pro V1x are suited to your game because they are two fantastic options to add to your setup.

Best low spin
Released in 2018, the latest AVX comes at a lower price point than the Pro V1 models and features upgrades like a high gradient, high-speed core, a thin flexible casing, and a soft urethane cover.
In testing, the AVX excelled in the long game, delivering a penetrating flight and excellent distance. While it performed similarly to the Pro V1x in still conditions, it truly shined in windy conditions thanks to its low spin, keeping it stable in flight.
Around the greens, the AVX felt a bit livelier, with less spin and more release on pitch shots. Despite this, it offers a soft feel and muted sound at impact. With a helpful alignment line for putting, the AVX is a great option for winter golf, particularly in windy conditions.

Best mid-price
The 2024 Titleist Tour Soft offers great value compared to premium golf balls, featuring a reformulated thin Fusablend cover for reliable greenside spin. It also includes a helpful thick alignment line and 'T' marking for easier putt setup.
As the name suggests, these balls are incredibly soft, yet still feel powerful off the tee. While not among the best distance golf balls, they offer a good balance of spin and distance. High-spin players might find them prone to flying higher due to extra spin.
Though they don't shine in the long game, the Tour Soft excels around the greens, offering solid control for wedge shots. With strong durability and an affordable price, they’re a great option for those seeking performance without the premium cost.

Best value
The 2024 TruFeel golf balls remain one of the best value golf balls on the market. With a two-piece design, Titleist has added a softer 3.0 Truflex cover for more greenside spin and control, offering a springy feel around the greens. In testing, we were surprised by the amount of spin, making it ideal for beginners.
The new TruTouch core aims to boost distance, and while the driver distance was adequate, it’s naturally shorter than premium balls like the Pro V1. However, at half the price, the TruFeel delivers great value, making it one of the best cheap golf balls available.
Overall, the Titleist 2024 TruFeel offers solid performance, especially for beginners and higher handicappers. Its affordability, combined with reliable performance, ensures it has a strong place in the market.

How we test
At Golf Monthly, we pride ourselves in testing each and every golf ball meticulously. That's why, in our golf ball testing, we use launch monitor data from devices such as Trackman to see the spin, speed and distance performance of golf balls with irons and drivers. This enables us to evaluate the type of golfer that each ball will suit.
Then, we test the balls on the golf course and around the greens to review the spin, control and feel characteristics of the ball with wedges and putters in order to give you the complete picture of the Titleist Golf Ball range.
How to choose
The best way to choose a Titleist Golf ball is to head along to a Titleist golf ball fitting day where you can try all the balls on the range and get an expert fitting. They will fit the ball to your 7-iron swing and then you should fit your driver to the ball.
If that is not possible then you can do the second part of the fitting yourself by taking a selection of Titleist golf balls to the practice green and chip and pitch on to the green to see which ball gives you the best results. This is because the different ball constructions and covers will produce different results.
Finally take you two best choices and putt with them to select the one that feels the best as usually there is a firm and a soft option for a given level of ball performance in the Titleist range. Remember you will get what you pay for so make sure you check out all the balls in the range as a a premium ball with a better cover may mean lower scores.
