Rob Person Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 1 hour ago, ArizonaLogan said: I went through my special ball collection and found a Titleist VG3.It look and plays surprisingly similar to the Titleist TEST ball. This is probably because the VG3 is supposed to be "low spin" ball, and in my full write up, I mentioned that the TEST ball had noticeably less spin on PW shots. I'll probably add it to my launch monitor test once my replacement net gets here. Thats incredible how similar they are. Also curious about their numbers. I don't think anyone has mentioned the vg3 yet either.

Popular Post ArizonaLogan Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 After testing for launch numbers, I have decided not to bother posting the full numbers. All the premium options I have tested are just too similar for me to differentiate between them. And I'm sure if Titleist wants perfect numbers, they can get them from a robot or PGAT pro. I am going to post the important 7i numbers for Triad, and the ProV1, TEST, and VG3 (mainly to show how similar the numbers were). As well as the PW numbers for TEST and VG3. Averaged from about 10 shots with each club. One "redo" allowed for each club. Tested by an amateur, in a net, on fake grass, and with a Garmin R10. So take all these numbers with a pinch of salt. 7 iron (85 mph club speed) Triad: Carry 153, 4973 rpm, 15.4° launch angle, 107 mph ball speed. ProV1: Carry 154, 4672 rpm, 15.3° launch angle, 108 mph ball speed. TEST: Carry 152, 4186 rpm, 15.3° launch angle, 106 mph ball speed. VG3: Carry 153, 4651 rpm, 15.6° launch angle, 107 mph ball speed. Pitching wedge (77 mph club speed) TEST: Carry 107, 9454 rpm, 26.9° launch angle, 87 mph ball speed. VG3: Carry 110, 8516 rpm, 28.2° launch angle, 87 mph ball speed. So, after a month and a half of testing, my final conclusion for the TEST ball is... That of all the golf balls of all time, the TEST is certainly one of them. It seems to me like it's another premium ball that might better suit the amateur much like the AVX. While I personally don't rule out the possibility of it being a VG3, I still think that it is actually an AVX. So unless it is released under a different name AND at a lower price, I see no reason to buy this over other $35-$40 per dozen ball models. And there is especially no reason to buy it over a ProV1 for the same price (I was super impressed by the ProV1s on course performance). buckpillar, HikingMike, RjGolf4Life and 8 others 11 Quote : 0311 Gen5 - Driver : Tight Lies - 3W I need an 18°-19° club. : TS4 - 4-PW : TSW - 50°, 54°,58° : Toulon Design Austin - Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the new tour soft the old avx? Hmmmm? Based on the available evidence (looks, dimples, 3 piece construction, performance metrics) and the shipping label from Titleist, it’s highly likely a version of the AVX ball. Now if they price at proV1 prices, it has a limited market. If they price it closer to the Tour soft, things get a lot more interesting. A question to the moderators, will we ever know from Titleist or has anyone followed up with them to know what ball we were actually testing and if you are allowed to share that with us.
