Titleist Velocity - any love?

[T.B.]

The Velocity totally goes against Titleist’s philosophy of choosing a balls performance based first on the green then working back to the tee.

Titleist ball fitting considers all shots, but puts the greatest emphasis on shots into and around the green. Seems the Velocity would fit those that are quite short off the tee and by gaining length off the tee will have shorter approach shots, thus impacting their scores more than solely focusing on greenside performance.

Also, lets face it, most ams underclub or miss hit most approaches so a ball that rolls out will leave the majority of players with shots closer to flags on average. I hit my irons ok and hate being over the back so use urethane, but for the player who always finds themself short of the green these might be a good option.

I have a friend who constantly is short with every approach shot. He lives off of the one time he caught a 7 iron thin from a flyer lie and it went 180 yards

I borrowed one of these from my son for 1 shot on Monday. (He flared it to the right 1st cut and let me hit it) 165 yards to the green. Certainly one of my best shots lately...long, high draw right behind the flag - rolled back just past the flag. Sunk the 6-footer for birdie. Often...I think we are too quick to be cork sniffers when it comes to balls. The Velocity plays very well.

not a fan here.

 

i have a box of these i bought some time ago, using NXT Tour S or DT Trusoft then switching to the Velocity felt like hitting a watermelon, hell, even DT Solo felt nicer.
