My bad, i should have said notice, i haven't NOTICED any difference between them.
Chances are you won't....until you play them. That was my whole point. You buy PRACTICE ProV1s or blems of any type and you take your chances with the performance of that ball. There's more to some things than meets the eye.
Nobody needs to call you stupid and I certainly wasn't. First you insinuate I was being a jerk because you're a junior, (or was that one letter too many? ) and now you have to tell me you're not stupid. Grind your ax on someone else. We've been down that road.

Not trying to grind my axe haha, but i was just saying i wasn't being a jerk before or trying to be, i guess i didn't explain my question well enough. Lets move on, this is for reviewing the ball.
I don't want to get on your bad side, but isn't that a little rude to be saying, especially as a mod? Why don't we all just get along?
My comment was in reference to the several jokes about some players not being able to tell the difference between colored balls in the Clean Golf Jokes section and had nothing to do with being "rude."
Good idea. Since this is a "Review" section, I suggest that in the future you actually hit the ball, or club, being reviewed before you question someone else's "experienced" review.
This is the ball!!! hands down, from tee to green, it out performs the competitors in all categories. Most of us lean very heavily on the latest technology and we spend ou hard earned coins to fill our bags with that equipment. So it only makes sense to use a premium ball for our rounds, yes there expensive but so is our equipment. When a ball behaves the way you saw it in youre minds eye, thats priceless!!!
now on to seaming (where the prov1x name is written on the ball), I am a firm believer that seaming will increase your distance on the Prov'sby 5 -10 yds min. This is where the ball is comes together in factory and several tour Pro's also swear by seaming. once the ball is tee'd place the name (proV) in a vertically line, directly at your target and see the resuts for your self. I have tried to seam other balls and the results were dismal. Jack swears by it. Try it for your self ???
untill something comes along that out performs the X, and it will... I am a X man!!!!

"and I am the walrus...coo coo ka choo!" Sorry, but that line brought an old Beatles tune to mind!
I'm with you 100% on this. I know ProV1's are expensive, but most quality equipment is. I have to smile when I see a guy with a $400.00+ Driver, carrying a $1,000.00 bag/clubs and hitting a low performance ball.
I switch between the Prov1 and the ProV1x depending on the length of the course and the conditions. The X is longer for me but the standard ProV1 is better on hard greens. Either way they're the best ball out there. Just look at the number of professional players playing Titleist balls worldwide. There's a reason for that and it's not all about being paid to play them.
i changed from the pro v1 to the pro v1x because i couldnt seem to judge the spin with my chips and pitches,i kept getting to much spin and ending up short.I like the slightley harder feel of the X and its LONG!!! But you have to hit it hard to get all the benifits the ball has to offer.
Fair enough, I beleive you i just really thought that "x out balls" or practice balls only problems were cosmetically which is what made me wonder how they could be told apart.
I wasn't saying you weren't playing a practice ball because i know they have practice on them, i am not stupid.
FWIW- A friend of mine who is a chemist tells me that it's possible that batches of polymers and different rubbers have different cure times/temperatures that are critical in the end product having an anticipated elasticity. He suggested that batches out of spec. may be used for the practice balls/X outs. I'd love to hear if this is true or not.
