Titliest has now overpriced even me for a dozen balls.The new Pro V's are 46.00 a dozen and that is over my budget mentally.I thought Taylor was strange asking 42 or 43 for the TP red or black but this is over the top.

You wanna try living in the UK! That will be nearly $70 per dozen!!! I'm having to buy Grade B second hand Pro V1s from my local supermarket (Tesco) or eBay now because they are so expensive!

Mst places had them for $44 before the new ball came out. So you can see with all the hype now why they are a couple of bucks more.

Reminds me of the book 'Scratch' which is all about the golf ball craze.

It is a fictional book by a fictional author named Troon McAlister. He had written a book called 'The Green' which centered around a golf hustler by the name of Eddie Caminetti who gets on the Ryder Cup team. Eddie outsmarts people in his many ways of hustling them at golf. (Although the author makes all of the players seem like complete idiots) McAlister writes a second book called 'The Foursome' in which Eddie makes another appearance although not as much as the first book.

With all that being said, 'Scratch' is a book that takes a poke at Titleist and Nike combined. The "Medalist" golf company has produced a ball that is supposed to do everything a golfer wants. Eddie outsmarts them by producing the Scratch golf ball which retails for approx $100 and people buy it. A court battle ensues and in the end, Eddie wins. I won't ruin it for you though in case you decide to read it.

I thought 'The Green' was decent, 'The Foursome' was tedious and 'Scratch' was amusing but ridiculous. The thing is Eddie Caminetti just doesn't give you a lot to like. The stories are OK and you will finish the book to see how it turns out but overall, I would rather read Rick Reilly's books any day.

For anyone interested, go here

Is he related, by change, to the ads I keep seeing on ESPN for "Troon Golf"? Or does Troon mean something seperate?

Again, check out "Missing Links" and "Shanks for Nothing" by Rick Reilly first. Better books.

As far as 'Troon' goes, I think its a golf management company that has courses accross the US (maybe abroad). They have a few courses in Arizona that I've played....

$46? Wow... I'll have to head out to the local golf shop and check it out. That would be absolutely ridiculous - I just have to hope they discount the old Pro V1s!!

Everyone should post the prices they see, so we can get an idea of what the market is bearing

They're the exact same MSRP and exact same "street price" as the Pro V1 and V1x you've been playing for the past two years at least. The price didn't go up.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
