    With the exception of the small square and small triangle that was on the golf ball did anyone else like the blank golf ball? I loved it. I felt like I hit the ball better. The only problem I had with it was that it had no line on it for putting. However, I can't putt with a line either so I don't think that mattered.

    Tried them. I felt each ball had a distinctive feel. I liked the softer one, had much better control.

    Hey Cody C. I have not had the chance yet to be in on the test balls from Titleist. Last week I filled out a form that Titleist sent me, asking me if I were to be interested in being a tester. My God, who wouldn't? I'll be checking the mail box daily for a while. Good luck with yours!
    Play Well,

    I got test balls last year... This year, I wasn't lucky enough to get some. Would have loved to see the difference from last year's golf balls

    I found the Square marked ball to have less spin and be as much as 8-10 yards longer off the tee with driver than the triangle marked ball. Triangle had more spin and was therefore easier to shape a tee shot with. Both had amazingly good, consistent ball flight with both irons and wedges. Surprisingly, they both roll smoother on the greens than current ProV1. (I had trouble accepting this - a ball on the green is a ball- but my playing partner found the same thing). Both balls I found to be about the same distance with irons and wedges. Some posters found the square ball to spin more but that is not what I found. They both have negligible wear after two rounds. Haven't lost any yet.

    I felt the triangle was easier to shape but was 5-10 yards shorter in distance.
    They both performed the same on the greens. And the square was more controllable with my wedges. Wish I could get one ball that had the control and more distance.
  7. With my driver I gained 5-10 yards with the triangle ball over the square ball. With my wedges, I found them to be equal. They both performed well. I saw and felt very little difference from the Pro V1 ball I normally use. Occasionally, I use a PRO V1. Both great balls! I believe that it is very challenging to make a better ball than the PRO V1x I have been using for several years

    My experience seems to differ from the others in the post. I found both balls to spin way too much, both from the tee and on approach shots.

    My tee shots seemed to balloon costing me desired distance and the approach shots spun back 6-10 feet. The current off-the-shelf Pro V1x does not do that.

    I like the feel of the test balls, but just couldn't seem to get the spin under control.
  9. I found the triangle to spin too much for me. I play png Eye 2 irons and the wedges would spin the triangle ball a ton! I like the feel of the square off of the tee (felt like it exploded off of the face) and I preferred the square with the wedges as the ball would land on the green, jump forward, and spin back to near the original ball mark. So much easier to control as I don't have to try to figure out how much the ball will spin out of certain lies and into greens with varying slope.

    I really enjoyed playing the test balls. I felt the triangle went further for me and was much more durable. The square had some nice action on short chip shots and bunker. Both balls griped well I just felt the square ball ballooned on me a lot with the full swing shots

    The Square test ball was so long and the feel was soft. The Triangle ball was long as well. It dropped and stopped perfect. Thanks Titleist. Number ONE Ball in Golf. Both Balls were Great. The Triangle was Durable and felt good off the Driver.

    I used the test balls this weekend and was absolutely BOMBING it off the tee. How can I find out what ball it is and if it's something I can buy right now?

    I too enjoyed playing the new test balls. I thought that the square had great feel and control around the greens. The triangle had a little more distance the best I could tell. As far as durability the triangle ball scuffed on a 58 degree wedge 66 yards out, but stopped on a dime. The square ball looked like new after the round?

    Thank you Titleist for the opportunity.

    Loved them. Felt like the square ball had better performance... Or maybe I focused more when I hit the square ball ;)

    I was lucky enough to be chosen this year as a ball tester. The balls I received appear to be differant than some of the other posters. My balls were number 1 with a line on the seem with the word test , they were marked with the colors of a Velocity ball, orange numbers black script . There were no distinguishing marking on any of the ball , they appeared and behave consistently. Chipping and putting they had a great feel, full swing they were consistent with the Velocity which is my ball of choice. Having had a recent knee replacement full swings were a little shorter however I believe that may be post surgery related than ball related. As always typical high quality and performance from Titleist
  16. I did not get the blank test balls, but I did get DT TruSoft in late fall. I really liked them. They felt great coming off of the club whether it was the driver thru putter. I felt it went straighter and further than some of the other "soft feel" balls I've hit. My favorite is still the ProV1.
