Apparently my dreams have come true and I got picked to do some Titleist R&D;! Anyone else get a sleeve of balls?

If it were me they'd already be hooked into the woods by now. Thanks Titleist!

To quote @Valleygolfer , "It's like putting on linoleum!!"  It must have been the ball!

I did just recently. I don't know if it was from an email or at the website though.

I have one from 3-4 years ago. It's a cool feeling. Just had to write a review of the test balls. I kept one for my wall rack

I used them in safe holes tonight. They play like prov's, not sure which ones yet. Have pretty good distance and reasonable feel. I will have to see how it goes.

awesome! always good to get stuff like that in the mail!

on a side note: (not trying to detract from your good fortune)

I always wanted to be a tester, been a Pro V1x snob since I can remember... then one day a friend and I blacked out 5 balls. He wrote down which balls were what and I proceeded to hit drivers, 6 irons, wedges, and flops with each of them.

I got 2 right out of those shots and they were with the full wedges.

Moral of my story..... I am not good enough to be a snob about my golf balls.

Now I play whatever is given to me through work.

Wonder what it is. The arrow markers are what they use on the Velocity. Maybe a new replacement for the Velocity coming soon? Honestly I can't really tell them apart either so whatever it is I won't be buying it recently started playing whatever HVC's I can find for $9.99 and been shooting the best scores in two years with those so I am sticking with the cheapies.

The arrow markers are what they use on the Velocity.

Light gray arrows are used on the Pro V1, Pro V1x and NXT, also.  Or at least the "like new" balls I occasionally find have similar markings.

When you sign up, they ask you what ball you currently play. The ball I received struck me as the same as the ProV's that I play. I'm guessing that they match the new to the old, in order to see if there are real world improvements.....but who knows.

So far they play similarly to a prov. They be a little firmer feeling. I think they sort of look like prov1x's.

Do you mean they physically look different or that's how they play?

I received mine in the mail yesterday - have a 4:15 tee time today to test/lose them

I think my full report to Titleist will include how they react to shanks, skulls, trees, and sand.

note: I will be keeping 1 just to display

Players play, tough players win!

How they physically look. The play is similar to both but I have not decided yet which one is the closest.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
