I saw some new prototype irons on a web page the other day. The picture was taken at Redstone. They looked like the 755 without the insert. Can you comment? Love the site.

Thanks, Nate

Titleist develops many prototype products for performance-validation testing on Tour. Some of these products are never released to the consumer market. Please check <a href="http://www.titleist.com/" rel="nofollow">Titleist.com</a> often for the most up-to-date product information.

Why won't Titleist release the black badge 755s with the chrome finish? Many of us prefer the look of the chrome vs. satin.

Adam Scott was using a Red X putter in the practice rounds, was this a permanent move or just messing round? What were the specs of the Red X? Great blog, much appreciated.

Rick Nelson and I made him a Black X to practice with because of his friend Charley Hoffman! By Tuesday afternoon, his Newport Mid-Slant looked great again!!

The <a href="www.titleist.com/.../755.asp" rel="nofollow">755</a> Chrome irons with the black vibration chip were tested on Tour along with the satin finish version with the red chip.  The latter was preferred so that is what we launched to market.

Will the chrome 755s ever go to market?

Who all still plays the 905R?

Is there any way I could purchase the black chip, chrome finish 755s? If I could get them custom or pay more? I just have to have my irons in chrome.

Unfortunately, this won't be possible. Only a few sets were made for testing purposes on Tour.

On Tour, do Titleist players practice with the same Titleist balls they use in competition?  If so, are the Titleist players given an unlimited supply of balls to use on the range, etc?  And what happens to the practice balls when Tour players are done with them?

Good week for the new 907D2. Congrats to Adam Scott. Nice to see him win, always a big fan. Hopefully he plays as well next week.

I use a 905R with the Proforce V2 X-stiff shaft. I want to try the Grafalloy Axis. Do you think this shaft can be great on the driver? And I don't know if I have to take the X-stiff or the Stiff because I think that the V2 X-stiff I have on it is a little too stiff for me (My driving speed is 115 MPH). Thank you very much.

<a name="practice_balls" rel="nofollow"></a>Titleist players do use the same ball on the range that they use in competition. Titleist donates 256 dozen balls per week for practice, and when the tournament ends, the balls are donated to junior golf.

Great question.

When is Titleist going to release the Spin Milled wedges in the raw finish as well as the T Grind used by Adam Scott in his lob wedge?

We do not plan to release the Spin Milled wedges in a pure raw finish.  The SM Oil Can is our raw wedge. It is only a coating that wears off quickly, not a plating. As far as Adam's T Grind, I work with many players to develop custom grinds that work best for those specific players in specific conditions.  These grinds serve as a kind of developmental testing process that often help shape our in-line offerings but are rarely brought to market in their prototype form. Thanks.

How do the spin rates and launch angles of the new 907D2 compare to the 905S?

Thanks,
