Mike D., Team Titleist Manager replied to Re: Titleist Prototype On-Course Evaluation online. in Golf Balls. Paul C Hello, I just went to the site to do the evaluation on the Titleist prototype balls. It said that I'd be asked to enter my Team Titleist username and password. I never was asked for that identification. Looks like the survey went through but how would you know it was me? Thanks and I love those prototypes, I want to buy them now! Hi Paul, Our apologies for any confusion. Here are some FAQs I've posted in other threads to help clear up any questions or concerns. Thanks for helping us out with the testing. Thanks for all of the posts, questions and comments - they are greatly appreciated. Because there are some repeat questions above, I figured I would try to answer everything in this update. So here we go... 1) I can't find the survey links. If your prototype golf balls had black numbers, please use the following link:http://survey.titleist.com/s3/TitleistPrototype1 If your prototype golf balls had red numbers, please use the following link:http://survey.titleist.com/s3/TitleistPrototype2 Please do not take the survey until after you've had a chance to test the golf balls. 2) The survey didn't ask me for my email address and didn't require me to log in. There was a misprint in some of the instructions that accompanied the test golf balls that indicated you would need your username and password. This is not the case. The survey should be accessible without any log in requirements. 3) What golf ball am I testing? The golf balls that were sent out as part of the product test panel were part of our ongoing golf ball R&D process and were just test golf balls. As you can imagine, we are constantly developing prototype golf balls and through the evaluation process we review the feedback we receive to continue along the R&D path. 4) How do I get selected? Or why wasn't I selected this time around? We make every effort to include as many Team Titleist members as possible in these opportunities, but as you can imagine, we unfortunately are not able to include everyone in every test panel. As for the selection process, all Team Titleist members are considered when we have opportunities like this but the final selection will vary depending on the test panel. Also, the more you participate and the more engaged you are with Team Titleist, from posting in the discussions and adding blog comments to completing your profile, the better your chances are at potentially opening the doors to these Team Titleist opportunities. I hope this helps clear things up for everyone. Thanks again!

Hi I just wanted to note that I know the first batch of prototype balls went out a few weeks ago and I notice people are still receiving them. Is there any chance I would still get them, as I feel that I have participated in team titleist quite a lot. Another question is for the ones who have recieved them, we're you notified about recieving them prior to actually getting them? We're you told by email you would receive them?
I really hope to still be able to try them out.
Respectfully, Manuel M.

In terms of receiving the test golf balls, we did not send any advance notice to potential participants. Thanks again and we appreciate your understanding.

I just wanted to say I love being on the survey for the test balls. But, living in Northern Ohio it will be very difficult this time of year to give an accurate test on these balls. I would receommend to try to get this test balls out earlier in the year at least for us northern folk. I would love to test these balls and compare to my current balls but we all know if you are "rusty" or have not played for awhile you will not be able to get a accurate reading. In mid-august it would be greart to receive these. This would help me for sure be able to give a better test
I got sleeve of new Pro V's red they are great they have a lower ball flight. Don't know how they would spin on the greens. The cover is more durable than current Pro V's. Playing in South Dakota today the temp was only 60 degrees, it would be nice how they would play in warmer temp's. When and where can I buy these balls!!!!
Just received my sleeve of the latest greatest "test" Prove v 1x, pretty sure they are Prov V1x. The comparision begins in 72 hours- Walking Stick 8:00 AM. stay tuned for the results. Thank you very much team Titleist. And yeah we nned a TT Prov 1x hat.
amongst day 2 of the power outage (thanks sandy...), i finally got around to checking the mail and lo and behold, there was a small package from the acushnet company. hmm...a sleeve of test golf balls with a black 1. a bright spot in a rather dreary last couple of days. of course what i've gone through is nothing compared to those in jersey and new york. thoughts go out to them.
now if the weather will cooperate, maybe i can go and lose some of the test balls underneath all the leaves that have fallen off the trees :)

Got the Test balls with red numbers. Can't wait to test this weekend. Thank you Titleist for involving the public in your golf ball test.
Has anyone tested the red number ball yet? Anyone have any feedback on it yet that I should keep in mind. Gonna try my best to not pay attention to wether I am hitting Test ball or current pro v1x until after I've hit multiple shots. Really excited for a true "blind test"
Love the balls, but can not find survey. Help
Michael,
Received the balls to test ,thank you. I completed the test and survey and was wondering if there is a blog or a discussion page that has a summary of the responses? I realize that the number of responses are a large number but, I would like to see other comments to compare with what I experienced.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
There are a number of active threads in the discussion boards right now where others have commented on their experiences. Sharing your experiences and feedback with other members in those threads is probably your best bet. We typically do not post any survey results for our test panels. Thanks for helping us out!
Best,
Mike
I'm one of the lucky ones whose testing the new prototype. It flew straight off the driver and 3 wood. It was responsive when hitting a fairway wood off the deck and it was much improved around the green. Team Titleis, if you have any ideas on the survey website?
I have tried to log into the survey with no luck. After playing the ball a couple of time I found that it flys about 3-5 yard further with the driver and long irons. Around the green it is very similar to the ProV1, it did feel like it was a little softer on the green when putting.

Hi William,
Here is a link to another post with some FAQs I've posted. It should help answer any of your questions. Thanks!
