Clayton Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Nothing yet for me. I'm excited to try them. I've had Titleist mystery sleeves sent to me in the past and a single sleeve isn't enough to learn anything really. Basically one to one and a half rounds. Having a dozen of each is a game changer, however. I have a Mevo launch monitor so I'll try to check out the numbers after I play them a bit. sirchunksalot and fixyurdivot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myherobobhope Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Just got the balls here in Kentucky on a cold and wet day... my course is closed, my golf cart needs new tires... so there is only one thing to do, and it's over analyze the golf balls I just received! So let's begin... I brought in my own control ball, mostly because I have 2 sleeves sitting in the garage... Titleist AVX that I bought on a whim... I have some random ProV1s in the bag from the course, but I don't know them well enough to know which year they are or anything like that... So the AVX is going to be my point of comparison... As previously noted, there isn't an A or B, these are just balls labeled "Titleist" with a number... Conspiracy Theory #1: I think they were labeled 3 and 4 because people would have bias against balls labelled 1 and 2... even 2 and 3 would create a problem... I have no data to back up this claim, but it's obviously true. I'm only ordered balls with 1 or 0 on it moving forward. It will obviously help my game. Dimples: The only obvious point of comparison on the balls right now would be the dimples... The AVX dimples seem to be slightly flatter, while both mystery balls are more round and deeper... based on the visuals of the dimples, I can quickly pick the AVX out. The other two balls are very similar from a visual perspective. My guess is these are the same dimples on the ProV balls... Someone else can confirm this. All three balls have small markings on them... AVX: ZL T3: CZ T4: TP (does that stand for TOUR PROFESSIONAL. PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR OTHER GUESSES). I'm curious if others have the same markings... I'm sure they are just factory codes, but also... the numbers, what do they mean? Dimple Pattern / Seam: I'm old enough to remember when you would line the seam of the ball up down the fairway and it would net you an extra 20 yards... The seams on these are much less noticeable... I had originally written I couldn't find a seam, but then I found it on the AVX and went back to look at the mystery balls. I found it on the T3 relatively quickly... it's findable on the T4 but less noticeable... Overall, I'm still just very impressed with the manufacturing capabilities of Titleist. Kudos to them. The dimple pattern, to my untrained eye, appears to be the same across the balls... it appears to be mostly large dimples, with an occassional repeating pattern of 6 smaller dimples and occasionally 2 even smaller dimples. Titleist has found a pattern that works, so I'm not going to question it... I'm also unwilling to count the dots. So, in conclusion: The main differences I've seen VISUALLY is a less noticeable seam and deeper divots than the AVX.

I only have received a sleeve of each with there being lo label of A or B just Simply Titleist 3 and Titleist 4. I will be able to do plenty of indoor simulator testing and putter testing this week. Course testing might be limited as there is only 3 each of what I assume are different golf balls but I can't say for sure. Does the one on the right have a noticeably firmer feeling cover? When I find Titleist balls, that thicker, less clear Titleist logo always gives away a non ProV ball. The one on the left has the ProV look.

Larryw Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Just a guess but the code stamps are probably manufacturing quality control codes to identify different molds and/or manufacturing fixtures and not specific to the design of the balls.

It’s shallow like the Bridgestone, but the patterns are different, i think… I’ve got some B X kicking around, but I don’t think we are here to compare the AVX to the B X… if you listen to the sweet spot podcast with the PING rep, he talks about how much aerodynamics change ball performance… basically, the impact of spin is different based on the dimples on the ball. Not something I’d ever thought about. hoping to get some swings in with the ball tomorrow… 10th hole should be open and it’s a great place to hit test shots.

Many compaanies employ the same dimple design but make up their own names for the design. if you google the patent on these type of dimples you will find up to 10 different golf ball manufacturers all use the same basic design. That is not surprising at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there is someone like that or close to that as a control yeah, visually I can't tell the difference between these two balls. The dimple patterns and depths are, without counting or color-coding to look for patterns, identical. The covers feel soft and between that and the thinner script logo, I suspect they're both urethane. Haven't gotten them out to the course yet, but in some living room putting, they sound the same.

myherobobhope Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Got some testing done in between a Srixon fitting (also, I'm buying new Srixon irons)... Here are my overall thoughts: Quick Conclusion: T3 spins more than T4. This is the only difference I have noticed thus far. After warming up for my demo day, I went and putted and chipped with the two balls to see if I noticed any differences around the green... This was not scientific at all, I just kept hitting one of each ball and seeing if I noticed anything different between the two. My chipping has been mediocre, so this was more an excuse to practice getting up and down than anything else... overall, I did not notice any difference. Both felt similar around the green and with the putter... I tend not to care what I'm putting with, but these two felt the same... I'll do some lag drills with all 6 and see if there are any noticeable difference tomorrow. After the demo day, I "played" 10 on my way home... It's a wide open hole perfect for testing shots... I usually have about 100 yards into the green after a good shot... I teed up 20 yards behind where I usually tee off from, but was still around the 150 mark... I didn't flush either ball, but the 4 flew further than the 3... both had fade spin, and the 3 moved more left to right... Both balls were in the rough and playable (this was 100% a swing issue)... then, as it started to rain, I dropped at around 100 and hit a 54 degree wedge at the pin. Fortunately, both balls landed on the green. A 100 degree 54 is about a 3/4 swing for me, and the 4 landed and bounced slightly forward, and the 3 stayed exactly where it was put... It wasn't a HUGE difference, but I believe the 3 spins slightly more. I think, overall, both balls will have too much spin for my current swing but I think the 3 is slightly MORE spinny... I'll hopefully get out to do a more thorough testing this week.

(Are we still doing phrasing?) mine are blank other than titleist and a number. It's from an older test sleeve I received maybe 5-7 years ago. It was a terribly hard budget ball from what I could tell. I filled out the survey and never got another sleeve. I just thought it looked cool since it said <--TEST--> on it. goaliewales14, fozcycle and myherobobhope 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 First ever mail addressed to “Shankster” First glance has me thinking that #3 is the ProV1 rendition, and the #4 is the ProV1x rendition. The dimple patterns are very similar to the V1 and the V1x respectively. myherobobhope, JohnSmalls and sirchunksalot 1 2 Quote Driver: Callway Rogue St Triple Diamond 9* 2 HY: Mizuno STZ 230 16* (set to 13.75) 2 Iron: Taylormade UDI 17* Irons: 2019 Titleist T100S 3-PW Wedges: Vokey SM6 54* and SM9 48* / Taylormade MG3 TW 56* Putter: PING Anser Ball: Pro V1 Bag: Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryw Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Haven't started testing but did float my 6 balls in Epsom Salt bath. They were all perfectly balanced as near as I can tell. Always came up in a different spot and never a hint of a heavy side. Encouraging at least.

fozcycle Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Got mine this week as well, like some of the others, the only marking is the word Titleist and either the number 3 or 4……no sight lines or other incidental markings.

Once the balls show up. I was hoping with a dozen that we might detect more quality issues in one ball than the other, but 3 is way too small of a sample size. Maybe if more testers did this we might learn something? Hard to say. myherobobhope 1 Quote GARSEN GRIP TESTER Driver: PING G400 MAX, Ventus Blue 6x Woods: COBRA F6 Baffler AD DI 8S Hybrid: CALLAWAY Apex Pro, Ventus Blue 8s Irons: SRIXON ZX5 mk2 5-6, ZX7 mk2 7-PW, Modus 120x Wedges: EDEL 50 C grind, 54 V grind, CLEVELAND 60 RTX6 Low Putter: YES Abbie!
