Hi TT!
I have been playing the ProV1 through High School and College Golf. I have also been a member of TT as long as I can remember it has existed. I want to be included on the mailing list! I'm sure many others feel the same way. We deserve the Test Sleeve too! We won't let you down Titleist.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the posts and interest in participating in the test panel.
We make every effort to include as many Team Titleist members as possible but as you can imagine, we can't include everyone in every test panel.
As for the selection process, all Team Titleist members are considered when we have opportunities like this but the final selection will vary depending on the test panel.
Also, the more you participate and the more engaged you are with Team Titleist, from posting in the discussions and adding blog comments to completing your profile, the better your chances are at potentially opening the doors to these Team Titleist rewards.
And just to clarify, the golf balls that were sent out as part of the product test panel are part of our ongoing golf ball R&D process and are just test golf balls. We are constantly developing prototype golf balls and through the evaluation process we review the feedback we receive to continue along the R&D path.
Thanks again for being a part of Team Titleist.
Best,
Mike

Hello I also received a sleeve of prototype s3 prototype 1 balls and I cannot get to the survey link to participate. I would like to take the survey and help getting on the site. Help.
Thank you

I got a sleeve of the Pro V1x test balls and the survey link worked, but it did not require me to login with my Team Titleist login as stated on the info sheet that came with the balls. It is important that those trying to login make sure they don't put in "www". That is not part of the URL.
The Prov V1x prototype definitely had a more durable cover than the current Pro V1 X, but seemed to fall heavy out of the air when hit into the wind. That could be due to the October weather as well. The driver distance was comparable as was spin. It felt a bit firmer, but performed generally similary.

thank you mike for the information... So to try to qualify next time I should just keep activly commenting and help posting discussions on the blog for TT???

Hi Devin,
No problem at all. Happy to help. The R&D team hasn't provided us with any details around when the next test panel will launch but we will have more opportunities in the future.
As for participation on the site, that is not the only factor in the selection process but the more you post and comment on Team Titleist the better your chances are to participate in some of our exclusive opportunities.
Thanks again,Mike

Mike. Thanks for the test balls. Once I finished hitting them I passed them onto a buddy for our next round. He is a 20XI and Ping iron players and generally anti Titleist due to his "overpriced" thoughts. Well I had great pleasure in watching him hit 10 yards further off the tee with less side spin, great control on mid irons and wedges and then putt like a man possessed due to watch he said was "awesome feel". The best part of the round was to then have him admit the titleist ball is without doubt a better ball than the 20XI ( I was always doubtful about this ball considering TW still plays the Tour D) and then watch him spend money in the pro shop to buy a dozen V1x. Finally I have something Titleist in his bag. As a 2 handicapper I can only imagine how good this guy could be if he would try the MB's. I'll work on this next!!!

Hi
I play several times a month with Titleist balls only. My favorite ball of all time the NXT
Velocity is close but not exactly the same but a very good ball
NXT S and NXT Tour make me miss the old NXT even more
From a marketing view I can see Titleist bring back the old NXT in the same box
for senior players and players with swing speeds around 90 and below the old NXT was great
Seniors may not be able to afford PRO-V's @ $50 a dozen and with millions of baby boomers retiring huge market for slower swing speed players and no ball putts better than the old NXT
Just my view point, Bert

Mike - I received a sleeve but have lost the link to the survey. Can you send me the link?
Thanks,
David
I'm a Team Titleist Ball tester tested the NXT Tour and the Velocity like to give my Favorite PRO-V a test
Count me in if they are looking for test and reviews
Thanks, Bert

Mike,
Would love to try the new Prov1-x. I've been going back and forth for a long time between the Prov 1 and Prov 1x and finally have to concede that my scores are better with the prov 1x. Can't wait for the new golf balls to come out!

I received a sleeve of the black number Titleist this week. First drive felt great. Nice soft Kapow! I played 18 holes with it and it loses the soft feel around the 12 hole. The ball still looks good after 18, and will certainly play another 9 with it. Cover seems more durable than any Titleist Pro V. 30-50 yd. pitches w/(60') rolled out about the same, but I was short sided most of the day. This was due to several balls landing in the center of the green, and skipping long. These were downwind shots and the ball was longer than expected. Once I figured the distance, the back nine was fun. I like this ball because it's longer off the tee. My buds are longer by 30+ yds, my game is 150 yds and in. This ball appears straighter off the tee and with hybrids, although I did not try to work it left and right. Most of the day I concentrated long & short. I'd play this ball in a heart beat.

I was pleased to find a package with test balls in the mail Friday. I am alternating between Pro V1 and ProV1x currently...always played the Pro V1, but have been surprised by the V1x in terms of playability. At 57 years of age, I think I get a bit more distance. At any rate, whatever these test balls were I want 6 dozen. Great distance and control. Occurs to me that they could be about anything - not necessarily from the Pro V family. Do you inform your testers of what flavor they were playing at any point? Many thanks, Nick

Hi Nick,
Thank for the feedback and thanks for helping us test. In terms of the golf balls, the golf balls that were sent out as part of the product test panel are part of our ongoing golf ball R&D process and are just test golf balls. As you can imagine, we are constantly developing prototype golf balls and through the evaluation process we review the feedback we receive to continue along the R&D path.

i wanted to know if Titileist will be sending out more balls out for testing and if so i wanted to know how you could recieve a sleeve oif these new titleist prov1's and prov1x's?

Hi Andrew,
The last of the prototype golf balls were sent out this week. I can't confirm any names on the list but we try to include as many Team Titleist members as possible in opportunities like this.
Also, just to clarify, the golf balls that were sent out as part of the product test panel are part of our ongoing golf ball R&D process and are just test golf balls.

I hope this helps answer your questions.

Got my sleeve last week and will be trying them out next week. Per the note included with the balls I got the impression the balls should be marked differently in some fashion, so I could respond with how each one played. All three balls have the same markings, is this correct. Regardless I will test and complete the survey next week.
Thanks, Tito

Thanks for the note and have fun with the testing. The sleeve of test golf balls you received are all the same and we are looking for you to compare the performance of the test golf balls to the golf balls you play most often. Let me know if this helps clarify or if you have any other questions. Thanks again.
Got it, thanks.
