I have often thought that the Pro V has negatively impacted the amateur golfer.
High spinning balls used to be the domain of the elite player and the average golfer managed their game with low spin but durable offerings. Those low spin balls supported the bump and run and other shots which employed the release of the ball. Lower lofted irons such as a 7 or 8 iron were used because the ball was inherently geared towards shots that release.
I watch a lot of club golf and average golfers using pro v balls and similar seem to find themselves in almost no-mans land when chipping or pitching. They cant spin the ball enough to have it always hold on the green yet the ball spins too much for a predictable bump and run
I think there's a lot of truth to this, and I suspect it's at least part of the reason why golf balls like the AVX exist - low-launch, lower-spin. But the issues with this that I see are more on approach shots, where the combination of spin and landing angle doesn't seem to be serving golfers well. Part of it is self-inflicted - they're playing too long a set of tees - but I think there's a gulf between the golf balls needed and the ones available, too.
