Ever wonder what goes into the making of a Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x?

Here at Team Titleist, we're lucky to go to work every day with some of the best and brightest people in the game, the Titleist associates responsible for creating the #1 ball in golf.

And our colleagues at Team Titleist in the US recently had the opportunity to tour the Titleist Ball Plant III facility to witness first-hand the making of the 2013 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls.

It's a pretty cool experience, so we wanted to share it with all of Team Titleist.

Check out the video above for your own tour of Titleist Ball Plant III and see our team at work.

Remember, there's a difference between a golf ball and a Titleist golf ball - the #1 ball in golf.

FAST FACT: For more than 75 years, Titleist golf balls have been designed and manufactured by Titleist associates in Titleist's own world-class facilities, each person playing an important role in making the highest performing, most consistent golf balls in the game.

Chris Wood fires his Pro V1x to 10 feet to set up an eagle and his maiden European Tour victory

Going into the final round with a three shot lead at the Commercial Bank Qatar Master, Pro V1x loyalist Chris Wood stepped onto the tee at the 72nd hole one shot behind the leaders, which included Titleist ambassador George Coetzee.

After a great drive and a 202-yard six iron, Wood walked onto the green to mark his Pro V1x just 10 feet from the hole on the par 5. Stood over his putt, Wood nervelessly stroked his Titleist ball into the hole for a remarkable eagle and victory by one shot!

Speaking to Europeantour.com after the trophy presentation, Wood said, "There’s an enormous weight lifted off my shoulders today. I feel like I can go on and win more.

"I knew it was going to be hard no matter how I played - winning on The European Tour is not easy."


Titleist ambassador George Coetzee on his way to runners up spot trusting the 2013 Pro V1x

Titleist ambassador George Coetzee (2013 Pro V1x, 913D3 8.5 deg driver, 909F2 13.5 deg fairway, 909H 19 deg hybrid, 712u 3-iron, CB irons 4-7, MB irons 8-P, Vokey Design SM4 Gap and Sand wedges) fired a sizzling final round of 65, finishing in a tie for second with one other, trusting the 2013 Pro V1x. This will surely elevate him even higher within the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings when they are updated.

Titleist was the overwhelming golf ball of choice at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters with 78 (62%) players in the field of 126, compared to 21 for the nearest competitor. Indeed, 13 of the top 16 and ties trusted a Titleist golf ball for their success.

The players move onto Dubai now for the final leg of the European Tour's Desert Swing and we'll bring you all the news from inside the ropes later this week.

Performance is the 2013 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x. The team has been hard at work and we are happy to introduce you to the new 2013 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls.

Driven by the pursuit of superior performance, the Titleist team of golf ball R&D experts has been able to deliver even more distance, softer feel and longer lasting durability in the 2013 Pro V1 and Pro V1x models through new core and cover technologies.

Here's a quick look at what's new for 2013...

  • The 2013 Pro V1 provides even softer feel, making it the softest Pro V1 yet. Golfers will also benefit from the Pro V1’s longer distance due to lower driver and long game spin, and a shallower angle of descent that produces more roll.

  • The 2013 Pro V1x delivers even more distance and more consistent performance with its deep downrange peak trajectory, tight ball flight and outstanding spin control.

  • Both new models feature an improved Urethane Elastomer cover and paint system that results in longer lasting durability while retaining a whiter, brighter finish. 

  • The new Pro V1 and Pro V1x also maintain their outstanding Drop-and-Stop control, providing all golfers with the proven short-game scoring performance that contributes to shooting lower scores.

Available in golf shops across Europe beginning March 1, 2013, new Pro V1 and Pro V1x are manufactured to exacting standards in Titleist’s own world-class facilities. As a result, every Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf ball performs consistently for every golfer, every round and on every type of shot.
