Some were defective
Okay, I am currently 10-12 handi and a very long hitter who needs to fine tune short game (read putting). 6-2, 210 lbs, Average drive 275-285. I prefer a Pro-V1 but play a V1x as well. I thought I'd give these a shot, I like the pearl finish and have only seen it on the ladies Callaway. Got 4 dz. 1 dz were defective and had a rough sand-papery finish compared to a Pro-V, I held both at the same time. The other 3 dz had more normal feel. My drives are slightly shorter than with Pro V-1. No noticible difference with short game, I don't put much spin on anyway. Don't mind playing with them but don't think they are better than Pro-V. Dimples are bigger and shaped differently. Love the look and double numbers. Hope it helps.
