meckel Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Anyone get the email asking to participate in another round of ball testing for Titleist today? Just did this last fall and they are usually a two year cycle. Anyone know about a change in that format this go-round? I actually think this version of the ProV1 and ProV1x are a significant improvement over the prior generation. I'd be surprised to see them changing them already, but stranger things have happened I suppose... 2 Quote Titleist 915D2 - Diamina D+ WB 70s Titleist 915f - Diamina D+ WB 70s Titleist 913h - Diamina D+ WB 80s Mizuno MP-62 - S300 Titleist SM5 - 54/8 58/12 SC Laguna 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pff1217 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I signed up as well when I saw the email, but I found it strange too. When was the release of the latest ProVs 6-8 months ago? The R&D process to improve the ProVs has to be at least 18 months right? Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Far and Sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperclip Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Me too, I wonder if they are up to something. I have heard of some comments from people who have switched away from the V1 and V1X. Or maybe they are thinking of a mid-range urethane ball that could compete with Srixon, Snell and Vice? 1 Quote My Weapons of Grass Destruction TS2 10.5* Hzrdus Smoke S 917F2 15* Diamana Blue 70 S 818H1 19* Evenflow Blue 85HY S 716 AP2 4-P AMT S300 SM7 50.12 F bent 1* weak, SM7 56.14 F, SM7 60.08 M - S200 Black Series 3 RH - Ontario and Ohio Avg. score 85-92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_Lukes Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It doesn't have to be for the ProV1 - it could be an NXT Tour Prototype since they alternate release cycles 2 Quote G430 LST 9* Tour AD DI 6X G425 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X MP20 HMB 2 - Tour AD 95X TSR2 18* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 - Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-PW OBAN CT 115X(-) Vokey SM7 52F - 58D PLD Milled Anser 2 Black ProV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfspy_CG2 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Most likely the NXT series, as they alternate release years from the ProV. As for how it works, they send you a sleeve of unmarked balls, so you aren't 100% what model it is, and ask you for feedback on all sorts of characteristics. 1 Quote TSR2 10.0 HZRDUS Red CB 6.0 TSiR2 10.0 Tensei Blue X ink 55g TSR2 16.5 PX Evenflow 5.5 60 g TSi1 20 and 23 degree hybrids Aldila Ascent Shafts R T200 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1X Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Maybe it's a tour level ball that's about half the price of the ProV1. Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-T580 using MyGolfSpy mobile app You get a box of balls with "Test" on the stripe that usually indicates the model and you are supposed to play them for a couple weeks. About two weeks later you get a survey link to complete and that's it. Pretty simple really, but fun to be a part of the R&D process in a small way. 1 Quote Titleist 915D2 - Diamina D+ WB 70s Titleist 915f - Diamina D+ WB 70s Titleist 913h - Diamina D+ WB 80s Mizuno MP-62 - S300 Titleist SM5 - 54/8 58/12 SC Laguna 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
