Prices on new prov1

[Robmc826]

I hope this is a typo!!!

Just came across this tonight.

PROV1 Price

I really hope that this is not the right price. Honestly dont see how they can price these balls that high!

:shok: :shok: :shok:

 

That better be wrong. Crap that is a bunch of money. After tax we are talking $6 a ball.

[Robmc826]

Not to mention plus shipping. what super new technology warrants an almost 10 dollar higher price

Legal fees. :rolleyes:

[Robmc826]

Very funny i was thinking same thing LOL

[oregongolf]

:lol:

 

What a joke.

 

I like Titleist gear, but I'm done [paying] with the balls. That's ridiculous. I'll stick to my max $39.99 rule.

 

There's just too many other comparable options for me to pay for that.

I had ti laugh at that post.

That price is obscene! Thank God I like the TM Burners at $20.00 a dozen.

I think it comes with the KY lube at no extra charge. Well at least now they can advertise "The #1 Ball in the $60 category with 100% market share"

Hello B330-S!!

[Simp]

Hello B330-S!!

 

 

Bingo! B330 for me though. I wonder what the "pro shop" prices will be for the new ball? $20 per sleeve???????

[mizunogrrl]

Don't worry, there's loan applications available for those who qualify. ^^

[littlepingman]

I think this will be it for the ProV1 being the #1 ball in golf. It may be the #1 ball on tour, but if it is selling for $54.99 a dozen it will not the best selling premium golf ball anymore.

 

I just hope other ball companies don't follow the lead set by Titleist...

[307golf]

That's not much higher than their previous MSRP if I remember correctly. Not that anybody sells them at MSRP...

 

I think it would be suicide for Titleist to set their prices this high in this economy.

[wholeinwon]

Sorry maybe I'm out of touch because I haven't purchased balls in a while but...

 

We sell the ProV1 and ProV1 X in our shop for $16/sleeve in 2008...and back when they first came out I was paying $50-$60/dozen to use them in junior tournaments.

 

I don't know if it is because there are more options out there now, but this price is exactly what I thought the price would be coming out for debut.

 

I figured it would be $50-$60/dozen again, people would buy to try then sales will drop because most people don't see a huge difference between the ProV1 and a $40/dozen B330, then Titleist lowers the price and because it's the most popular "tour" ball people then buy again because the Pro's use it.

 

Come on people we know how this works by now don't we??

 

Do you think the r9 is gonna be $199.99 when it debuts in shops and stores?

[PhillyHack73]

If Titleist gets away with charging this much for ProV's, I will almost guarantee that other premium ball manufacturers will up their prices also. However, I don't see many golfers paying $55 for the new ProVs and the price will soon be lowered. I have been a ProV fan and player for a few years but I refuse to pay that much for golf balls.

[307golf]

Srixon, Bridgestone, and Callaway have to be very happy about Titleist's arrogance.

 

Srixon Z Star X is 39.99...

 

Didn't look @ Bridgestone or Cally.

[jefffann]

oh and new drivers are worth $400-500

cmon you know you'll try some

[Robmc826]

When the 2007 prov1 first came out it was 45.99 in golfsmith and pretty much any other place that sold aside from pro shops. I never once saw it for 54. I still hope it is a misprint.

[slice_oftheday]

sup z-star, 39.99 from what I've seen.

No but it's only 399

[BEND OF THE RIVER GC]

I think at that price their sales MIGHT suffer. You cant tell me that they are that much better for $12 more a dozen....

[wholeinwon]

Exactly.

 

It's like any company, everyone does this, it's not gonna change because the competitor is at $39.99.

 

It's everywhere in golf with new stuff, you don't put out the X22's from Callaway at the same price the X20's are do you?

 

People will also pay the $55 because its something new, just like they paid $55 when the original came out, just like they pay $500 every year for the next best thing in drivers, etc.

I can understand that for you folks in Canada :tongue: , but here in the U.S. all the big box stores were selling them at $45 per dozen or less. The very first Pro v1 balls sold for ridiculous amounts, especially on eBay. But subsequent releases have been more in line with the normal $45.

 

Good luck to the folks at Titleist. But I'm sticking to balls in the $40 category.

[kitsoasis]

ForGet! Titleist, I'm getting 2008 B330-S for less than $30 a dozen right now.

 

The $40 range should be as high as prices will go for premium balls IMO, and I guess another $5 for Titleist's legal fees, patents etc. But $55 is outrageous.

[oregongolf]

I've never once seen GPP sell balls anywhere near MSRP. They've always been at (or sometimes lower) than street price.

 

If this indeed final pricing, I'm disgusted. I really would like to hear the reasoning for the seemingly $10 (or more) jump in price.

[littlepingman]

Didn't Titleist say that players wouldn't notice a difference in performance with their new ball? It seems like I remember them saying that when people were questioning the new ball since its a new formula.

 

I guess we will notice a difference in our wallet though. Maybe the lighter weight wallet in our pockets will help our weight shift...

I may be mistaken, but this ball is a complete overhaul is it not?

 

The 2007 version was just a line change no?

[tpariff]

You can re-sell a driver and at least get back a portion of the price you paid. It's quite hard selling a lost ball that cost $5 or $6.

I use my TARP money to buy some balls :russian_roulette:

 

"Change has come!" It sure has!

OK, so from those two statements, my understanding is that Titleist had a complete overhaul to make the exact same ball, then added $10 to the price.

Can someone confirm this?
