Ryan

I recently purchased AP2 712 with s300.

great feel and dispersion but 1 - 1.5 clubs shorter than my old AP2 with Project x 5.5...

Thoughts?

7 iron used to be 170.

Have you heard similar comments re 712s?

Friend just got s300 XP and he is finding the same thing....

Hope to get this sorted out.

Blog Post: Titleist Brand Ambassador Peter Uihlein Leads 4-Win Weekend for Titleist Golf Ball Players

Team Titleist — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:51:00 GMT

Around the globe Sunday, four players relying on a Titleist golf ball were victorious on three continents, proving once again that performance is the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

In Portugal, Titleist Brand Ambassador Peter Uihlein won the Madeira Islands Open with a final round 4-under par 68 to earn his first career European Tour title. In the U.S., Titleist Brand Ambassador Mark Anderson and his tournament record-breaking 27-under 259 total captured the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Web.Com Tour. The third player in the winner's circle, Titleist Brand Ambassador Matthew Griffin posted a 54-hole total of 13-under par 203 to win the weather-shortened SK Telecom Open on the OneAsia Tour in Korea. And in Mexico, Titleist Brand Ambassador Jorge Fernández-Valdés became the youngest winner in the history of PGA TOUR Latinoamérica with an 11-under par 277 victory total at the Mundo Maya Open.

With four more wins, Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x loyalists have now won 58 tournaments on the worldwide professional tours in 2013, nearly four times the nearest competitor with 15 and more than all other competitors combined.

This is Team Titleist, let’s wrap-up the week…

EUROPEAN: Madeira Islands Open

Winner: Titleist Brand Ambassador Peter Uihlein

Uihlein, the 23-year-old American, relied on his Pro V1x golf ball to tally four consecutive birdies on the back nine to vault him to the top of the leaderboard, two shots clear of fellow Titleist Brand Ambassadors and Pro V1x loyalists Morten Orum Madsen and Mark Tullo, who tied for second place. The victory grants Uihlein a European Tour exemption through 2014 and marks the first time an American has won the Madeira Islands Open.

“I’m just thrilled,” said Uihlein in an interview. “To do it playing well on the back nine, coming down the stretch, is sweet. I know Morten played a heck of a round and Mark played really well so it was nice to come out on top."

Of the 156-player field, 116 relied upon a Titleist golf ball, more than five times the nearest competitor with 21 and more than all other competitors combined.

The final round fireworks began at the the 201-yard par 3 fourth hole where Uihlein's birdie was bested by Tullo's ace. The lead would change hands a few times before Uihlein's string of four birdies culminated on the 14th hole, leaving him atop the leaderboard. A late charge from Madsen wasn't enough and Uihlein hoisted his first trophy.

What’s in Peter Uihlein’s Bag?: Pro V1x golf ball, 913D3 driver (8.5º), 913Fd fairway metal (13.5º), 712U utility irons (2-3), 680 irons (4-P), Vokey Design SM4 gap (50º), sand (56º), and lob (60º) wedges, Scotty Cameron GSS putter.

WEB.COM: BMW Charity Pro-Am

Winner: Titleist Brand Ambassador Mark Anderson

Anderson posted a 5-shot victory over fellow Titleist Brand Ambassador Tom Hoge. Mark's 27-under 259 total broke the tournament record by four shots and matches third best in Web.com history.

Of the 168-player field, 113 relied upon Titleist golf balls, nearly five times the nearest competitor with 19 and more than all other competitors combined.

What’s in Mark Anderson’s Bag?: Pro V1x golf ball, 913D3 driver (8.5º), 913Fd fairway metal (13.5º), 913H hybrid (19º), AP2 irons (4-P), Vokey Design SM4 gap (52º), sand (58º) and lob (62º) wedges, Scotty Cameron Kombi putter.

ONEASIA/KOREAN: SK Telecom Open

Winner: Titleist Brand Ambassador Matthew Griffin

Titleist Brand Ambassador Matthew Griffin won his second career OneAsia/Korean Tour title in less than a year, topping a leaderboard that included 14 Titleist players among the 15 who finished in the top 10 and ties.

Titleist golf ball loyalists accounted for 103 of the 153-player field, over six times the nearest competitor with 15 and more than all other competitors combined.

What’s in Matthew Griffin’s Bag?: Pro V1x golf ball, 913D3 driver (8.5º), 913F fairway metal (15º), 712U utility irons (3-4), CB irons (5-P), Vokey Design gap (52º), sand (56º) and lob (60º) wedges, Scotty Cameron Tour Rat Putter.

Leading by two shots at the start of the final round on Sunday, the 20 years, 9 months and 13 days-old Fernandez-Valdes shot a 1-over par 73 for an 11-under par 277 total for the week. With the win, the young Argentine climbed from eighth to second in the Order of Merit on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica.

It may not have gone as planned, but you got to do something that many, many of us would only dream of doing (or dread).

Congratulations for taking a shot at such a lofty goal !

Darius V — Fri, 17 May 2013 21:28:00 GMT

Yes - I was a little worn out when I finished. How many times do you get to the range and try to hit 70 or so perfect drives?

It was worthwhile getting there a little early as it gave me time to hit some warmup balls. At least that way when you are testing the new combinations of heads and shafts your swing is not the question.

Near the end there is no question you feel like you have hit a lot of balls, but it is exciting to see the results improving as they keep dialing in the best combo for you.

The order has been placed for the new driver and I should have it in around 10 days. Then I can take it to my range and more importantly out on the course. My existing driver seems to know something is up though, as it is hitting longer and more fairways than usual. Not sure how I will break the news that it is going to be relegated to the basement with my other old clubs :)

Blog Post: Video: On the Range with the #1 Ball at HP Byron Nelson Championship

Team Titleist — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:33:00 GMT

TPC Four Seasons Resort in Dallas plays host to the HP Byron Nelson Championship this week on the PGA Tour.

An event that was first contested in 1944, the Byron Nelson traditionally draws a deep field of talent, and this week 100 players in the field of 156 will trust a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success, more than four times the nearest competitor with 21 and more than all competitors combined.

Titleist is also first in the sand, lob and approach wedge (138) and putter (55) categories.

Team Titleist was in "Big D" for the action earlier in the week, and canvassed the range with the Titleist Tour support team to check in with Titleist Brand Ambassadors and golf ball loyalists as they made their final preparations.

Check out the video above to go inside the ropes at TPC Four Seasons Resort with Team Titleist and see what Jason Dufner, Morgan Hoffmann, Ben Crane, Jason Bohn, Robert Streb, Martin Flores, and DJ Trahan (among others) were up to this week.

Alexander T — Sun, 12 May 2013 19:51:00 GMT

My take is feel is very subjeftive. For what it's worth...the V1 to me feels softer but not by a large margin.

Forum Post: Re: Test Prov1s

Wendy H — Sat, 11 May 2013 22:37:00 GMT

I finally got to test out the new balls this week. Keeping in mind I am an amateur compared to most of you, I found them them very soft off the tee and seemed to get more overall distance. They were amazing around the green and I felt I could control the ball better off my wedges. Overall they did a lot for my confidence as I had more 'feel' for the ball.

I tried to post my results to the link sent with the balls last October but it appears it isn't up anymore. Sorry for the delay but we had an early winter and a late spring and I didn't want to use these until the weather warmed up.

If these are the new ProV1 I will be getting more as I was very happy with them. Thank you.

Jeff L — Sat, 11 May 2013 05:13:00 GMT

Chris,

Did you get fitted for your driver? If not, I would strongly recommend you get fitted by a certified Titleist fitter.

Based on what you have mentioned about your swing speed, slicing and hitting the ball high, it sounds like you may actually be a candidate for an extra stiff shaft and definitely not a regular shaft. When the shaft is too flexible, you will create too much lag in the club head and will not be able to square up the club face consistently. A stiffer shaft would help you square the club head better and bring your ball flight down.

I got fitted for my 913D3 driver at the Titleist National Fitting Centre at Eagles Nest and the guys there know how to get you dialed in perfectly. Trust me, they take the guess work out of the equation.

Blog Post: Video: On the Range with the #1 Ball at The Players Championship

Team Titleist — Fri, 10 May 2013 18:45:00 GMT

It’s a home game this week for the PGA Tour as The Players Championship gets underway on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

The Players Championship features one of the strongest fields in golf and this year 89 players in the field of 145 will trust a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success, more than four times the nearest competitor with 21 and more than all competitors combined.

Titleist is also first in the sand, lob and approach wedge (130) and putter (46) categories.

Earlier in the week, Team Titleist was on-site to capture the action inside the ropes and on the range as Titleist Brand Ambassadors and golf ball loyalists made their final preparations.

Check out the video above to take a walk with Team Titleist around TPC Sawgrass and see what Adam Scott, Bud Cauley, Rickie Fowler, Steve Stricker, Jimmy Walker, Charley Hoffman, Zach Johnson, Scott Stallings and Ben Crane (among others) were up to this week.
