Titleist 2017 ProV1 - I think the ability to hit any trajectory shot off the tee, from fairway, and around the greens. Works great in the wind too. Never have to think about a problem with my golf ball when playing it, I know it will always perform well.

 

I would like a one of a kind experience at Titleist because I run my own golf media website. It is called Life Over Par (lifeoverpar.com) and we represent the golf world in New York City. We have launched the site in the last 4 months from scratch. We cover everything from Tour news to course reviews, original content and podcasting. We also would like to get in to equipment testing and review and this would be an excellent way to do that.

 

I am an absolute gear head (and Team Titleist member) and would love to take part in this opportunity.

​What is your home city/state? Portland, Oregon

 

What is your current USGA Handicap? 3.1

 

Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? 2017 Pro-V1. Have always loved the feel of the Pro-V1 for putting and chipping. That aspect is very important to me. More important than any specific ballflight or spin numbers as I don't believe I am good enough or consistent enough to benefit from the actual differences between balls, even vs the Pro-V1X

 

Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? I play Titleist irons, wedges and balls (driver too if you include a Cobra driver from when Titleist owned them ?). Would love to understand if I am truly using the right clubs for my game. And to work with Titleist folks to understand how I should be selecting clubs in the future. I got a chance to be fit for my SM 6 wedges and it was a great experience. Would love to extend it to my entire bag and a the same time get a peek "behind the curtains" so to speak to see how all this equipment is made and tested

 

Thanks for the opportunity!

• Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? Callaway Chromesoft 2016 - In the last few seasons the CS preformed better for me than anything else that I tried.

[SFAmac]

In a post below, include your answers to the following questions:

• ​What is your home city/state? Summit, NJ
  
• What is your current USGA Handicap? 8
  
• Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? Bridgestone e7
  
• Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? I have been struggling for a long time trying to minimize the amount of spin I put on the ball. I recently had a professional club fitting and one of the key takeaways was I create too much backspin especially for woods and long irons which results in lost yardage on drives and wreaks havoc in windy conditions. However, for shorter clubs I need spin to maintain control in approach shots. I am a bit of a gear junkie and love to learn about the new technology that goes into club heads and shafts. I think that having the opportunity to come visit with the Titelist team in New Bedford would be a fantastic opportunity to learn about the technology behind the ProV1 family of balls and how they could help improve my game.

What is your home city/state? Fredericksburg, Virginia

What is your current USGA Handicap? 0.8

Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? A little of everything depending on what the pro shops have when I need to use up a tournament certificate. To include: Callaway chrome soft (not really a fan), Pro-V1x, Srixon XV

Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? Would love the ability to truele test and compare the numbers between balls to understand what the right ball is for my swing!

 

Thanks!

What is your current USGA Handicap? 10.6

 

Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? I currently play Callaway Chrome Soft X. I really like the feel of the ball off the club face. They are soft and the ball doesn't seem to sacrifice any distance. The only complaint is that even though the 'X' ball is supposed to have more spin, they are still not as good around the greens as the Pro V1 's. I think the feel of the ball is a little more important to me than spin though.

 

Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? I am a golf enthusiast and I live within an hour or so of the Titleist plant. I have not experienced anything like going to the manufacturer before. I think it would be amazing to be able to test some of the equipment and give feedback to the company. I was fit earlier this year for a 917 D3 driver and I think it would be great to test any of the clubs and balls available. I am one that is not stuck on one type of club or ball, and I try new things on a regular basis to try and improve my game. Going to the test facility would be an incredible experience! I would love to report back on GolfWRX on the experience and tell about what we did while there!

• Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? The Manchester Lane Test Facility is like my Wonka Chocolate Factory. I use the product but I'd like to see how and why and especially what may be next. The experience would help me to be more advised and even dispel my golf dos-and-don'ts.

Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why?

ProV1x, it suits my game best.

Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist?

The sheer awesomeness of visiting the epicenter of golf-balldom, meeting the folks at Titelist, trying some of the best equipment in the game. It would be both fun and an eye-opening learning experience. Thank you in advance for this opportunity ✌️

[fivetoone09]

Home location: Detroit, Michigan

 

USGA Handicap: 16

 

Current ball: Everything (All ball types, brands, colors, etc). I personally believe, as amateurs, there are so many variables constantly changing in our swings, the golf ball is the least of our worries.

 

Reason to attend: I would love the opportunity to be proven wrong. I do take my game seriously and have invested in lessons for quite some time (years). But when it comes to the golf ball, it is a value proposition. Is spending $60 per 12 worth it ? I'm going to lose at least 6 balls during my 4 hour round. And will spending the $60 help me achieve a statistically different score than if I was playing a rock. I need answers to these big questions of the universe.

• What is your home city/state? Gonzales Louisiana
  
• What is your current USGA Handicap? 16.3
  
• Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? VICE Pro+....I get better performance over the Bridgestone balls I was playing.
  
• Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? Because it is a once in a life time experience. I have a hard time judging how a ball performs on the range, need to play the ball for a few rounds. Just this year I have added a Titleist wedge and fairway wood to my bag.
  

[Pach70]

​What is your home city/state? Plano, TX

What is your current USGA Handicap? 10

Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? Pro V1. good distance, spin and flight control.

Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? I have done several different fittings for clubs, including a putter fitting at the Scotty Cameron studio, and have learned something at each which has made me a better player.

[rvs0002]

• What is your home city/state? - Topeka, KS
  
• What is your current USGA Handicap? - 7
  
• Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? - ProV1 most of the time, Chrome Soft in the fall. Both react very similar for me, but the feel of the Chromes is a little softer to me, so I play them when the weather gets a bit colder and I need a bit more spin on the firmer greens.
  
• Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? - I grew up playing Titleist (still have my Tour Model blades from 1990) and have always loved the brand. Would love a chance to go through this experience and see the facilities. Would truly be something to always look back on. Plus I have been all over the US but never visited the northeast!
  

Thanks to Golfwrx and Titleist for the opportunity!

• Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why Wilson SmartCore -- Consistency, accuracy, and spin on pitch shots are all important to me. My game has suffered recently due to health issues, but improving -- perhaps using ProV1s will help.
  
• Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? I would appreciate the opportunity for meeting and interacting with the professionals who achieve excellence with the Titleist golf ball.

What is your current USGA Handicap? - 9

First i would like to thanks Titleist and GolfWRX for the opportunity!!!

• ​What is your home city/state? Boonville, NC
  
• What is your current USGA Handicap? 11.7
  
• Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? Between Callaway Chrome Soft X and Taylormade TP5x. Love the feel and flight of each ball. Both are super long. Right now TP5x is winning due to durability.
  
• Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? I am a Titleist iron, driver, wedge, and putter player. Love all the equipment and attention to detail. Titleist always makes premium quality equipment. the new 917 D3 is just an amazing driver. By far the most forgiving and longest Titleist driver ever!!!
  

[stickner]

• What is your home city/state? Columbus, NJ
  
• What is your current USGA Handicap? 10.3 index
  
• Which golf ball(s) do you currently play, and why? Titleist ProV1 or Bridgestone B330RXS. Recently giving Vice and Snell a trial run.
  
• Why would you like attend this one-of-a-kind experience at Titleist? Like any golf nut would tell you, this would be an incredible experience. I would love to spend time with ball testing robots. I could spend hours with that thing comparing balls across different conditions. How far does a Pro V1 go with a 100mph swing speed with face and path zero's out. What about a bridgestone? What happens when AOA is down 3? What about up 5? What happens when there is 3 degrees difference between face and path? What about 4? What about 1? What if the wind is blowing into us? Downwind? Cross wind? etc... etc... etc... etc... If I had a robot I would be out there all day getting empirical evidence on actual performance.
