im sure if nike wasnt paying him a kazillion dollars hed be using a pro v1

Really, why do you assume that? Why does

everyone assume that? You do realize Titleist was paying him a fortune to play their stuff back when he played it, right?

Really, why do you assume that? Why does

The DAY Nike signed Tiger in 2000, Nike went to work on equipment. One of the biggest and first things they did was to develop a ball for Tiger. Nike knew, as do most people, that golf ball sales are the biggest and most important for golf companies. Nike threw a ton of money to R & D a ball w/ Tiger's input on it. They basically made it specifically for him and in a way, they still do today.

Contrary to what some may believe, Tiger has used a Nike ball since 2000. No, not a ProV marked w/ a Nike logo either. (Many still believe that one) ProV is and always has been an awesome ball. But to say Tiger would rather have played (or play) a ProV over a ball basically made for him is ridiculous.

Yeah, that was more or less my point. Why would he prefer a mass market ball to a custom made one? I mean, if you had some company, even if they weren't a great company, make you a custom ball, exactly to your specs, then why would you not play it? Imagine you could have anything you could possibly dream of, no matter the price, no matter the complexity, why would you prefer a ProV1?

The fact of the matter is, that the ProV1 is more a name and a legend than an actual ball. It's pretty much the same as any other top ball out there, B330, Tour i, Penta, Z-Star, etc.

...The ball Tiger was playing at the AT&T; isn't available to the public...

Hmm. Back to the drawing board then?

The ball Tiger was playing at the AT&T; isn't available to the public. It's not "classified" as anything.

well, it has to be on the conforming list right? and apparently theres only 3 nike balls on the list?

I'm sure some of the players who are sponsored by Titleist would play a Nike ball if they weren't being payed a "kazillion" also!

    • I mean it seems like this is your issue, yeah? If you're already at or near a 1.5 smash factor depending on which launch monitor then you're going to have to increase your clubhead speed if you want to increase your ball speed. (Assuming your launch conditions/delivery are also near optimal which it sounds like they are) Are you actively doing any speed training programs like The Stack, Superspeed, etc?
    • Anyone can cherry pick a green shape to fit their narrative.  Now do the same thing but for this green that has an extremely sloped hill short, so good chance to roll back to the water, and mounds long that kick long shots OB. It's like a 175yd tee shot too.    Or this one. Where the approach shot is from 200+ yds with a severe slope towards the water and very tightly mowed sloped runoff behind the green.  
    • In a normal 30x20 green, a left/rigth 15 yard miss is going to be missing the green, probably in the bunker. A short/long 15 yards miss is still going to be in the green. Scoring average is always going to be lower if you have 100% GIR. Unbeatable.  I love this tool I created. Is an spreedsheets that calculate the scoring average of a dispersion in a certain green with the flag you want.   I set both dispersions in order to score as low as they can in this Par 3 from 150 yards, in this case avoiding going into the water.   Option 1: Scoring average: 2.96  GIR: 59%   Option 2: Scoring average: 2.79   GIR: 97%
    • He won the Zozo after that to "tie" Sam Snead. But… yeah.
    • 3 years ago I made a Driver fitting. Started with my on course speed and was almost 150 ball speed. I tested a lot of drivers and went after them with all I had reaching 160 ball speed.  In the last 3 years I improved my swing and now my on course speed is around 158 but no matter how much I force the issue I still cannot hit the ball faster than 160. Not even when I hit the ball perfectly in the middle and gave it all I have, the numbers are never more than 160.. 161. Club speed also is stuck on the same number. On the other hand for every other club in the bag I also started hitting it farther with the new swing on course but I'm able to gain 6..7 miles of ball speed if I go after them. As an example, I'm around 121 ball speed with my 6 iron but I can muscle it to 128 without much trouble and also club speed jumps 4..5 miles.  Any ideas?
