Titleist AVX Golf ball compression, specs & review
The Titleist AVX is a 81-compression, 3-piece golf ball with a urethane cover, low spin and a low flight. The Titleist AVX is a premium three-piece urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball and the lowest-flying in Titleist's urethane lineup, delivering a penetrating low trajectory with exceptionally soft feel. Titleist positions it as its low-spin urethane model, though MyGolfSpy's 2026 robot test measured its driver spin level with the Pro V1.

Compression
How soft the ball feels. Lower numbers (70–80) compress easier and help slower swings get distance. Higher (90+) rewards faster swings.
Cover
Surlyn is tough and cheap — great for distance and durability. Urethane is softer and grips wedges for more spin around the green.
Layers
2-piece: simple, long, straight. 3-piece and 4-piece add layers for more feel and spin control on approach shots.
Trajectory
How high the ball flies. Low = flatter flight with more roll. High = peaks up and lands soft. Mid = balanced.
Spin
Low spin = straighter shots, less curve, more roll. High spin = more control and stopping power on the green (but also magnifies slices/hooks).
Tier
Price bucket. Value = budget-friendly distance balls. Mid = solid all-around. Premium = tour-level spin and feel, costs more per dozen.
Best For
Try a sleeve first — ~$5 for 3 balls before committing to a dozen.

The Titleist AVX is a premium three-piece urethane (soft, grippy cover) ball and the lowest-flying in Titleist’s urethane lineup, delivering a penetrating low trajectory with exceptionally soft feel. Titleist positions it as its low-spin urethane model, though MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test measured its driver spin level with the Pro V1.
Who It’s For
The Titleist AVX is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize moderate swing speed, low trajectory, soft feel, distance and control. In the Titleist lineup, the AVX sits firmer than the Titleist TruFeel and softer than the Titleist Pro V1.
Feel
With a compression of 81 and a urethane cover, feel is balanced — soft enough for touch shots, firm enough for a lively tee strike.
Spin Profile
Titleist positions the AVX as its low-spin urethane ball, but MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test measured its driver spin level with the Pro V1 (2,798 vs 2,804 rpm at 102 mph); what the robot found lowest was its flight. Driver ball speed ranked 15th of 48 at 86 mph in that test. Around the green it spins more than its low-spin label suggests, 8th of 48 for 35-yard wedge spin, with a wedge pattern 44% tighter than its comparison group.
Trajectory & Construction
A penetrating flight, and the robot agrees: at 86 mph its 55-foot driver apex was 47th of 48 in the 2026 data, with only the ionomer Srixon Soft Feel flying lower. Three pieces: a core, a mantle and a urethane cover, the same layer count as the Pro V1 but tuned for the lowest flight in Titleist’s urethane range. Performs well in cooler temperatures.
Price & Value
At $50.00 per dozen it is the cheapest urethane Titleist we list, $5 to $8 under the Pro V1 models. The saving over a Pro V1 comes with the same three-piece urethane construction, just tuned for a lower flight.
Buy it if
- You want a straight tour ball; its driver dispersion ran tighter than its comparison group at all three speeds in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test.
- You play in cold and wind and want a low, penetrating flight from a soft ball.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the compression of the Titleist AVX golf ball?
The Titleist AVX has a compression of about 81, which puts it in the mid-compression range. At 81 it is the softest of Titleist’s urethane balls, softer than the Pro V1, and that soft strike with a low flight is the AVX’s whole identity. It is one of several specs the BallCaddie fitting quiz weighs against your swing speed, usual miss, feel preference and budget.
Who should play the Titleist AVX?
The Titleist AVX is built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 90–105 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize moderate swing speed, low trajectory, soft feel, distance and control.
What swing speed is the Titleist AVX designed for?
Titleist pitches it at moderate swings wanting distance and a lower flight; its 7-iron numbers back the fit, 11th of 48 for 7-iron carry at 80 mph in that robot test. Slower swings compress it fine at 81; the trade is that a low-flying ball carries less at low speed, 40th of 48 for driver carry at 86 mph in the robot data.
Does the Titleist AVX have high greenside spin?
More than you would expect from a ball Titleist positions as low-spin. Its 35-yard wedge spin ranked 8th of 48 in that robot test; on full swings its 7-iron spin sat mid-pack at 25th.
Is the Titleist AVX good in cold weather?
Yes. At 81 it is the softest urethane Titleist makes, and the only Titleist urethane ball we flag as cold-weather suitable.
How much does the Titleist AVX cost?
MSRP is $50.00 per dozen.
