I got it too, but is it definate that were gona get balls? It kinda mentioned if selected in there so im not sure...

[jahopki]

I got it last fall / early winter. There's a thread out here somewhere speaking about the "white box" that came to my house (someone else started it -- I just added my 2 cents). It was really interesting. They sent a small box with 4, largely unmarked, balls in it -- 2 had solid triangles and 2 had hollow triangles. They asked me to take them out and try all kinds of shots with both types (driver, long / mid / short irons, 1/2 swings, putts, etc) and then fill out the on-line survey with my thoughts on the performance of each type. I thought it was fun and hope they invite me to do it again because I put a lot of thought into my evaluation of both types of ball and tried to be as detailed in my response to the survey. I'll have to check my home account this evening to see if I got invited back...

[moonshine]

PR garbage that very few get to actually participate in. I have gotten them several times and one yesterday. They just want your name, email, etc., IMO.

[gjpep]

Just got my e-mail today that I was selected--guess I got lucky for once--looking forward to doing the testing

Great news! You've been selected to participate in our latest golf ball test panel. We have shipped a sleeve of Titleist prototype golf balls to the mailing address you provided in your Team Titleist profile. You should receive the golf balls within the next week and we hope you will have the opportunity to conduct your on-course testing within the following two-week period.

As part of this test panel, we are looking to get your feedback on all shot types so it is best to use these golf balls during a normal round of golf, rather than at a practice facility. Consider your entire game tee-to-green when conducting your on-course testing with the Titleist prototype golf ball and the golf ball you currently play most often.

We also suggest that you conduct your evaluation on a golf course with which you are very familiar. Knowing the golf course helps you assess if you have successfully executed the shot, and makes it is easier to identify your preference when you know what clubs you generally hit into greens, how quickly the ball usually stops, etc.

Since you will likely want to hit one or two extra shots each hole, we encourage you to conduct your evaluation when your golf course has limited play. If that is not an option, we recommend playing 9-holes with the Titleist prototype golf ball and 9-holes with your current golf ball to evaluate and compare preference.

In addition, here are some questions to keep in mind while you are playing:

- How did each golf ball perform around the green (on approach shots from 100 yards, partial swing shots, pitches and chips)? Which golf ball did you prefer?

- Which golf ball spins more on shots into the green? Do you have a preference?

- How did each golf ball perform on full-swing approach shots from 150 yards and out?

- Which golf ball is longer with irons? If one is longer, how many yards?

- Which golf ball is longer off the tee? If one is longer, how many yards?

- How does each golf ball feel? Do you have a preference?

- Based upon the overall performance of the two golf balls, which one do you prefer?

When you finish product testing, please visit the link below to provide your feedback via a short survey. To access this site, you will need to input your Team Titleist username and password.

Our goal is to have all surveys completed within two weeks of the on-course evaluations and we appreciate your effort in helping us reach that goal. We will send you a follow-up email in one week as a reminder to complete the survey.

Everyone at Titleist thanks you for being a valuable contributor to Team Titleist and the Golf Ball R&D testing process. We look forward to your feedback and hope that you enjoy your experience as part of our R&D golf ball player testing panel.

All the best,

Your friends at Team Titleist

I received the first letter early last week and just received the "you have been selected" letter this morning. I'll be interested to see in the balls are similar to Pro Vs, NXTs, or something very different.

[Goldenhawk]

Yeah, I got one of these. I'm hoping for the sleeve of balls to contain Pro V2s.

[03trdblack]

I got the email today that said I would be sent a sleeve of balls as well. Look forward to giving them a thorough test. Maybe they will be higher visibility white so I can find them faster in the woods.

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Ya I got one of those a while back right before the new NXT's came out, pretty much a waste of time. They send 2 of each ball with no markings other than an empty and filled triangle to tell the difference. You are supossed to give feedback on how each performs off the tee irons and short game etc. I was kinda hoping to at least get a sleeve of balls in return but nothing.

[mrgolfer]

Got the same below e-mail yesterday plus another one today apologizing that their e-mail program did not insert my name properly (i.e. #FNAME). Looking forward to trying them out and hoping they are a high end ball.

9/9/10 - Received my test sleeve last week and tested them on Labor Day. The dimple pattern looks more like the ProV-1x than the ProV-1. I did not detect any significant difference with my regular ball; Bridgestone B330-RX; except for the driver. My B330-RX seems a little longer (~ 10 yards) and softer for the driver only. (FYI - MY driver speed is 95 mph.) For all other shots, I couldn't detect any difference. I completed their online feedback evaluation.

I got them sent to me in CHICAGO in FEBRUARY....think there is a problem with that?

[moonshine]

I got a second email with apology that the first message was not personal enough?! It was a bit strange...made it seem like I would not get them...then survey was included again. We shall see.

[HuckleBogey_Finn]

Got both emails as well. Not sure how I can help, I am an 18 handicap with marginal skill. Oh well, Ill take some free balls if they send them to me.

[breakin' left]

Got both emails as well. Checking the mail everyday to see if I have them yet. Hopefully they are the new ProV's to test out.

[obsessedgolfer]

^^^ Haha same, checking front door every other hour. Anyone get there balls yet?

[CERILLI]

just got the ball today. iv only been chipping and putting but they feel AMAZING, awesome spin!

[jeff0907]

I got mine today and they look to be the new PRO V1 or PRO V1x. It looks like a mix of the two balls with multiple dimple patterns. They feel softer than the current PRO V1.

[BCC]

Got mine today.....have to wait till Monday to play

[double-d]

Got my sleeve today. They have the word 'test' in the aiming arrow...

[ahl3bomber]

Got both emails, but have not received the sleeve yet...any word on how many people were selected?

[rjw]

[size=2]I received a 3-pack yesterday. Haven't hit them yet but out of the box the cover on the prototype and the current Pro V feel very similar. The dimples on the prototype appear to larger then the current version.[/size]

[wrighterjw10]

[size=2]got the email, but still no balls [/size]

[golf playa]

Sorry but this is only an email that says "if" you would like to have a CHANCE to participate, join team titleist. I know cause I did get an email saying I was CHOSEN to recieve some proto balls. Still yet to recieve them.
