revkev Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 BTW has any one used their's yet? I've had them on the practice green but can't play until Monday. Since the Titleist schtick is start at the green and work back this seems appropriate. I chipped two of my last three in. I'm sure it was the balls.

fozcycle Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I can honestly report that the new Titleist Test Balls...... 1: Can not be found in the woods (my approach shot on Par 4 #4 was grabbed by the palm tree and thrown into the woods) 2: They do not float (my approach shot on Par 5 #13 went into the pond) Not a good day, as I can play for a month without losing a ball. Today I lost four! Otherwise, they went about the same distance off the tee, held true to my distance for mid irons and short irons and had a nice feel on the putts.

revkev Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Titleist will love me because I've followed their suggested ball test to a tee. Head to head with my gamer around the green last week. Head to head from 12 distances between 217 and 97 on the short course today including a few shots out of the rough. I play for real tomorrow and am going back into the big boy game so no test there but I will play the end of the week where I can pop some drivers out head to head. The titleist was significantly ahead of my gamer around the green. My gamer is a tad longer off the irons and hybrids that I hit today while the titleist seemingly launches higher off the short clubs and lower off the longer ones. For 12 holes I was Even with the Titleist and 1 over with my gamer. To be fair it was actually a 2 stroke difference except that I significantly miss hit a 7 iron with the Titleist. That was not the balls fault. I actually hit every other shot pretty well, lots of shots finished hole high even if they were not on the green. So far I would prefer the Titleist but off the driver is important so we will see.

wbealsd Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I got mine a few days ago, then we got a cold snap... I hope to do some more testing tomorrow, but so far the distance appears to be the same as I get with the E6 I've been gaming but I really prefer the Titleist Test ball on and around the green. The Test ball seems to be a bit firmer off the putter and holds the line better for me.

revkev Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I do in the winter or at least I play something Pro VIx like.

RoverRick Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I went to Bulgaria on the 7th and got back today, but I received a sleeve of Titleist Test balls and played one on the 6th. It certainly played like a Pro V1. Very nice control around the greens, and I like this ball a lot. I have not played in 10 days and probably won't get to play until Friday, but I really like this ball.

revkev Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 League was rained out but because of the vagueness of Florida weather I was able to play at a course 12 miles away. My course was flooded, we had a two beer's worth light shower where we went. So a driver test was on. I don't know if was the beer or what but I played beautifully, hit 10 greens, shot 74. I hit two drives 5 or 6 times but basically played the Titleist. This was a tour level course and the ball played great particularly off the short clubs and driver. It's a good ball. Next time I will try it head to head with the B330 RX which was going to be my ball this winter.

KB McCool Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I felt I got a higher launch and a more straight ball flight with a driver, woods, hybrid. Saw no increase in distance but maybe a little less spin? I also found that they don't float nor do they have a beacon to make them easier to be found in the rough???
