That was a lot of fun. The amount work and care they put into just the custom aspect is amazing. Plus it has to be a great place to work as the youngest tenured person was 18 years!

@HipCheck I need about 10 dozen of those GolfWRX Radio balls ASAP!!!!!

 

 

And who was drinking a Surge that early in the morning?!

[Dreadzombie]

Still cant believe the sheer number of golf balls that are processed through that facility...mind boggling! On to the next stop at R&D!

I'm the Surge fiend. Some people pound coffee in the morning, I down energy drinks as my morning fuel.

That being said this trip is awesome!

And how did they find it? wasn't that discontinued like 20 years ago??

The amount of patents is dizzying. Mike Sullivan of Titleist is listed as one of the top 50 inventors in history. Not just in golf.

 

Titleist’s first patent was for a ball demonstration machine.

@HipCheck this is freaken awesome! please keep the pics coming! one of the best "follow the experience" of all times, and its only on its 2nd page.

I can’t even put into words everything that was just shown to us. The amount of detail they put into every aspect of creating every ball in their lineup not just the Pro V1 line is insane. Such a cool experience getting a behind the scenes look at R&D. Eating some lunch now then heading to Manchester lane for some product testing.

Ball R&D talk and tour was mind boggling. So much cool info about titleist golf balls and competitors. Also info and real examples that will influence my ball buying decisions.

When you get time please elaborate what the major differences are please. I play the Prov1x but always really wondered what the major differences are in some manufacturers.

Big thing is consistency between the balls. Only two ball companies do their own manufacturing completely. A couple do some and outsource the rest

And the majority of companies completely outsource the ball making. Doesn’t mean they’re bad balls but differences in consistency even in the same dozen can be alarming.

 

They have a wall that shows different ball brands but they’re all the same ball (cover/dimples/core/etc) just different markings for said brand.
