I have never done a test but, how do Pro V1's stack up distance wise against your typical rock, like Pinnacle?
Bill,
I agree that the harder the ball, the worse it feels, especially on and around the greens. Richard brought up something interesting: whether the true distance the ball travels is due to compression. But Pro V1s are so much harder to scuff up than balatas which makes me wonder how significant the cover is? Perhaps balata is crap compared to new urethane?
So Richard, if urethane is soft, why doesn't it scuff like balata? What would happen if you had a urethane cover over a wound interior?
