    Hey titleist,

    just finished my first round of golf using the balls I received in the post, they are amazing! I shot my lowest ever round with them. Great off the tee solid at impact and great feel. Thanks titleist keep them coming!

    BIT HARD TO TELL HOW THESE BALLS PERFORM WITH  SCOTTISH WINTER WEATHER.SO FAR I'VE NOTICED THAT THEY SEEM TO BE FLYING FURTHER THAN MY NORMAL HITS. FEEL GOOD OFF THE PUTTER ALSO.NOT MUCH SKIN DAMAGE TO BALL AFTER A ROUND WHICH CAN ONLY BE A GOOD THING. HAVEN'T TRIED THE RED NUMBERS YET. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT THOUGH.

    Hi, Thank you for inviting me to test out the prototype balls. I have now played several rounds with the red numbered prototype and have come to the following conclusions. The ball feels quite solid on the face of the driver and travels good distances with a straight flight. Medium irons fly well but do not stop particularly quickly. Short irons do stop quite quickly but do not spin back. Similar shots with NXT tours would have stopped and released a few feet backwards. The ball responds well when chipping around the green but again has to be delivered with the knowledge that it will not grip particularly well. However, once you realise the ball will release, chipping becomes more straight forward. I found the ball rolled particularly well off the putter face and performed well. Overall, I would suggest that this ball is a low spin/distance ball. Bearing that in mind, it flew consistent distances, felt good on the iron clubface and performed with credit around the green. The cover also stood up well to play and showed few signs of scuffs after 2 rounds. Cheers

    Hi

    Thanks for the test balls have played several rounds with the black numbered balls, they react almost the same as the NXT Tour S, but I have found these last  longer! Haven't had chance to play with the Red numbered balls due to the weather!

    Once again thanks for the test balls

    Hi

    I first tried the red numbered balls and found them to hit both straight and long, in fact, because of the extra distance I managed to lose all three in water hazards that I would not normally reach.

    Using the black numbered balls I have managed to keep hold of all three as although just as straight as the red I am not quite getting the distance achieved with the red, both balls appear to feel harder than my usual ball. As for back spin I am not a good enough player to worry about such things.

    All in all quite impressed, if they go on the market I would gladly buy the red numbered balls.

    Hello

    Thanks for sending me the test balls. I have the black numbered balls, I played 27 holes with them, 18 then 9 over 10 days. The weather conditions were cool and dry, though the course was wet from rain the previous day for the 18, the 9 holes were played in damp conditions with occasional showers.

    I found them to be excellent off the tee with woods and irons, they had a very penetrating flight with better carry and distance than my usual NXT. They feel very soft off the face of the irons and although they did not bite the green from pitches as well as the NXT, they did seem to fly as far and rolled very well on admittedly, soft greens.

    They stood up well to the occasional sandy excursion and a couple of thinned shots. The covers remained unscuffed after the 27 holes.

    They seemed to be low spinning which suited my game. Combining distance with feel. They had the feel of a premium ball and I would definitely consider them if they are marketed.

     Given the unfavorable weather conditions they performed well and I look forward to trying them in better weather. 

    regards

    Tried the new test balls and found them the same as the velocity which I find excellent. I only use velocity and NXT. Allthough they did not seem any different they are stil a great ball. Will try again in better weather
