This may not help much. No, I haven't tried Titleist HVC Tour SF golf balls, but I did check and they are on the USGA list of Conforming Golf Balls dtd. 4/4/07.

My assessment would be for high handicap players, the HVC Tour SF would be perfectly fine, but as you improve you would want to find a ball to fit "your game". The HVC Tour SF balls aren't even listed on the Titleist website, so there is very little, if any, information on these balls regarding spin, distance, durability, trajectory, feel & whatever, but this type of information is available for Titleist Pro V1, Pro V1x, NXT, NXT Tour and DT So/Lo.

Good luck and maybe soon someone who has actually used the ball will add comments to this thread.

That ball was big in the mid 90's. That's why it's not on their website. Kind of on par with a NXT Tour. The tour models then were the Professional and the Balata. The medium spin ball was the HVC. I could be wrong about this but I'm close.

Titleist was crazy then, I think they had 10 different balls on the market at that time.

I used to play those balls years ago. I liked them a lot. But they were a good ball back then for me, because I was a junior golfer. But like they said before... good ball for seniors... and junior golfers.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
