I think there would be more hits and/or comments left if people didn't have to become a Team Titleist member...I had linked my story to Facebook but a couple people said they couldn't leave comments...because they weren't members...most of them are golfers so I would think they would browse the site once they read the story...not unless they can leave comments on the Stories of Trust w/o having to join up...which they couldn't find.... thanks!

Just finished testing the prototype ball and was impressed and at times intrigued by the amount of spin and control on my wedges and shots inside approximately 140yds. One thing i did notice is that when i would play an 8 or 9 iron knockdown shot (i learned to play on the links of north west England) the ball would land and instead of a brief check and spin/roll i was getting exaggerated bite and the ball would hop backwards in the air. Not that this is bad, just surprised me a little.

I have played the new prov1 golf balls and they are longer&easier to putt with.I really like the way they roll on the greens.This is compared to the pro v1 of 2010.

Just wanted to say that your 710 series of irons, mainly the MB,CB AP2, are your finest so far.

When will the new 910 drivers be availble?

Overall, I think I prefer the current pro v1x to the test ball. I did like the flatter trajectory that I seemed to have with the test ball. However, the feedback I get with the current pro v1 x and pro v1 is superior to the test ball.

Sent in my survey for the new prototype ball as well and seeing a lot of the same as the comments below, averaging about 4-6 yards longer, great spin and control, JUMPS off the short wedges and sits down pretty but the best improvement I saw, BY FAR, was on the carpet. This ball was like BUTTER on the greens. Cannot wait for them to move it into production so I don't have to "save" the three I got.

I played the test ball a couple of days ago and really liked the way it reacted on and around the greens. It's interesting to hear that it's a hibrid of the 1 and 1x, as I'm reading in the comments box below. It had a very soft quality that must have had to do with the under-layers because the cover felt hard to the touch and had very little scuffing at the end of the round, even after a number of well hit wedge shots. All and all I liked it very much and am looking forward to seeing what comes from it.

I recently tested the Test Ball against the Pro V1 and found that the Test ball has a much more durable cover and quite different dimple pattern. I did notice that the ball felt a little harder than the Pro v1, but I did get 5-6 yards more with my AP1's. I didn't notice as much difference with the woods. I gave one ball to my friend who is a 7 handicap and the other to my friend who qualified for the US Amateur. The 7 handicap thought the ball was 5-7 yards longer and liked it very much. My other friend really liked the durable cover and thought the Test Ball was a little harder feeling than the Pro v1X that he normally plays. He would prefer the Test Ball when available. I prefer playing the Pro V1xs over the ProV1's and I can't wait for the new balls to be available.

I recently played in cold windy conditions ( 20- 30 mph wind and temp. of 52- 62) and then in 68 degree weather with a test ball and my usual NXT tour. The test ball was softer and easier to control around the greens and especially from 90 yards or closer and from the rough - stopped quicker. The NXT tour was longer and straighter off the tee - less side spin on the longer shots that are not hit perfectly. I would love to be able to use the test ball,probably a pro V! or VIX, when my swing is in synch. and on calm days or whenever I am playing a par 3 course. The feel of this ball off the putter was exceptional. Unfortunately I still may prefer the NXT tour on most days. Ronald H

I just tried the prototype proV . Loved the durability and distance off the driver, and the balance of spin(didnt spin too much or too little). Also the softness was just right, it wasnt a mushy feeling . Would like more spin on the wedges and more distance on the long irons

Loved the new ball - Red numbers. Trajectory was good. Able to hit really good knockdown shots. Seemed like a bit softer off my Pro Platinum 2 long neck. Able to control the spin on most shots. The ball was a bit longer than the Callaway Tour is- 4 to 5 yards. Definately noticable with the shorter irons. Very good in the wind. My wedges did remove some of the cover but all is well. Hit alot of 3/4 shots with good results. The ball seemed to have a slightly lower trajectory.Test ball spun as much as the Cal tour is. I would not want more spin. I prefer a ball to hit and go slightly forward. Test ball about 10-12 yards longer off the tee. I usually hit about 2800rpm. Did not test the ball on the launch monitor. All said, the believe that the test ball was easier to control than the Callaway tour is. Thanks for the opportunity. Chuck Leggett
