Despite everything else going on in the world, the surprise of a fresh sleeve of white box Pro V1's was a welcome surprise to kick off 2021! I know quite a few people have shared their pictures and thoughts already, so I thought I'd share some numbers, just to show some of he improvements in distance that I saw. I just figured averages from a series of shots would give the best representation from a few side-by-side balls on the simulator, but I look forward to testing them in real playing conditions when the weather warms up a bit here in NYC.
Formatting is a bit off here, but the numbers should align with the categories below:

All in all, looks like little bit of a gain in overall distance and consistency seems to be a bit more solid, but of course, this was just a small test run on a handful of shots in the sim. Will see what they can do on the course!
