A year ago, Els ranked 84th in driving distance. They’re first and second in the driving stats and they both use the Titleist 983K. Els averages 319.6 yards off the tee and Phil Mickelson averages 312. Nothing matters if you can’t putt, but getting the ball in position to reach the green is the name of the game. “The x ball is an incredible golf ball, but I don’t think it’s 20 or 30 yards longer like everybody thinks it is,” Love said. At least that’s the theory, and you can be sure a lot of the pros are buying into it. Hard golf balls get more roll, but less spin. It’s a four-piece ball with a thin cover of Elastomer, which is a type of urethane. The x is also slightly firmer than its older version. The dimples affect the flight of the ball. As far as the technology used in the ball, the x version has 60 fewer dimples than its older brother (332 to 392), but the dimples are larger and they are in seven different sizes, compared to the five different sizes of dimples on the ProV1.
