+1 for some pics.

I would not be surprised to find out they come out w/ a new ball for the new groove rule.

Delta and Delta Black?

Because ProV1 and ProV1x is just too long and difficult and long to say?

i am also on the test panel and received the balls to test. will try to take some pics as well.

Send them to me! It's only in the high 20's right now, and should warm up to the 40's tomorrow.

I'm enjoying my weather here in 80+ sunny weather..hawaii is soo nice

send the balls to Al Gore, let him know how that global warming thing is working out.

Hey didn't know Al Gore played golf! But love how the ball flies farther in the warmer temps. Pretty cold in PA and could use a little global warming.

here is the pic of what i was sent....

Interesting. Hope you can get out soon and give us a review.

Cnat wait to hear how these work!!!!

I cant wait to try them out as well. The weather has been so bad here in TX lately. Not used to the 30 degree temps all day. Looks like the best place to be in the US right now is Arizona or SoCal. The rest of the country is COOOOOOLLLLLLLLLDDDDD brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Ill give a full report when I get a chance to test them and also try to take some screen shots of the panel that I have to report in to for Acushnet.

I was just down there before christmas playing golf!!! Very cold on the saturday when we played Tour 18 but sunday was a beautiful 70 when we swung them at bear creek!!! Everyone was saying how unseasonably cold it had been!!!

Interesting to see what they do.

Got my little white box yesterday. But like a lotta folks, snow is on the ground and having a hard time getting above 20 degrees.

That is what my box looks like as well.

So I'm guessing its too late to get on this "panel"?

I got my box last Wed also. I sent a note to the email address in the letter that accompanied the box telling them that I probably wouldn't get to use them within the two weeks that they hoped I would. The response was something to the effect of: "We tried to identify players in warmer locations, but we understand that the vast majority of the country is frozen. We'll leave the survey open until we have enough response for statistical accuracy." I'm going to try to get on a launch monitor this afternoon just for grins, but having putted / chipped around with them, I still like the Callaways (Tour iX) better -- the Titleist's are just too "soft" for me. I prefer the solid click against the putter / club face the Callaways create.

(All of my buddies are jealous, though -- the packaging and "labeling" on these prototype balls really looks cool. Especially with the documentation that came with it )

how does one get on this panel ?

Not to be critical, but why would they send balls to test in parts of the country that aren't conducive to testing. Several other manufacturers are having shipments of new product sent to warmer climes in limited release. I don't know, but I won't think you are going to get favorable results when it is below 50 and winter conditions. Even here in Houston, it has been less than desirable golf weather. Just a thought-

Ditto on the thought that they would have marketed only to the subelt and perhaps some west coast states.

Hell, I've got limited release balls here, like the Callaways and new Taylormades... But even the weather in GA has sucked, much like the rest of the country.

The weather has been bad here in PHX the past few days, too. Would love to read a review.

I love how nobody wants to share the secret on how to get on this panel

+1 on this.

also, what the heck kind of panel is this? a bunch of snowbound golfers who can't play until april supposed to test the new pro v? ridiculous.

Down here in Northwest AR (not Arizona), the weather is usually playable year-round except for a few days at a time; this freak weather hitting the entire country (snow in FL?) wasn't predicted when they were deciding areas to target for testers...

Read the first post in the thread. A link to a survey was sent to my home email account by Titleist; I filled out the survey and got a box with 4 golf balls and a note about a month later.

Yeah, I guess you guys are right -- some of us got bored and created a giant, lame hoax about being selected for a testing panel...

Okay, I finally got out and played some with these things. They're really impressive, and clearly meant for the new grooves. I usually play a Callaway Tour iX; a standard approach shot for me will land fairly softly and roll out about 3-6 feet. With these triangle-labeled balls, virtually everything was backing up about 2-4 feet (even from the light, dormant rough that's no longer snow covered). The hollow triangle spun more than the solid triangle, but not a whole lot more. As for distance, they weren't any longer than the Callaways; on the flip-side, they weren't any shorter, either. They reminded me a lot of the old Tour Professionals, but the durability is really impressive. I typically start peeling the cover off the Tour iX with a full gap wedge shot (Mizuno MP-T 53*). After ~36 holes with these, they still look almost new!

The bad news is that I'm very picky about the feel (sound) of the ball at impact, particularly with my putter. I like the "click" that the Callway's have (and I know that there are plenty of people who dislike the click as much as I like it) and these things sound dead at impact. So for me, that's a show-stopper. I know that for others, though, that's a great thing. So to each his own, but I probably won't be playing these in the future unless I find a course that would demand me to be able to spin the ball back on the green.

To summarize:

significant spin (with pre-2010 grooves; Titleist ZM's w/ PX6.0)

great durability

no distance loss

very "dead" sound
