I have no clue what it means, but it helps you identify what ball it is. So if you find black numbering with a black logo it is most likely a Pro V1.

Burner 10.5* driver
Burner 3 wood GD Pershing Shaft
Burner 5 wood GD Pershing Shaft
Tour Burner irons
Rac black 52* Rac satin 60* Red x 3 pro v1

I recall on earlier Titleist balls that black signified 100 compression, red 90 compression, and blue 80 compression. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You can order most balls in high numbers (5-8), but with TaylorMade you can order golf balls with anything from 00-99.

And with Titleist, Pro V1's have a black number, and Pro V1x's have a red number.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |
