AN EASY WAY TO FIND THE TITLEIST FIT FOR YOU

By Ashley Mayo

Let’s be honest: most of us don’t think to get fit for a golf ball. We’ll obsess over putters, drivers, even gloves. But the ball? We grab whatever’s in the pocket of the bag or whichever Titleist feels like a fit.

For a long time, golf ball fittings felt like something reserved for pros or members at private clubs. But that’s no longer the case.

I had a fitting scheduled at my local PGA Tour Superstore, no club membership required. And the truth is, I didn’t even need an appointment. Anyone can walk into one of the 70+ Superstores across the U.S. and get fit on the spot. Plus, it’s completely free.

The fitter kicked things off with a few
quick questions:

How firm are the greens you typically play?
What type of feel do you prefer in your golf ball?
How important is ball feel to you?
What is your preferred trajectory?
How important is trajectory to you?

Then he handed me a wedge and said, “Imagine this: you have a 50-ish yard shot and there’s no trouble to carry. You could technically putt this, but you’re pulling wedge instead.” I nodded, took a breath, and started swinging.

Three wedge shots. Three with my pitching wedge. Three with a 7 iron. Three with a driver. That’s it. Just 12 good swings (we tossed one because it was awful), and the Titleist Golf Ball Fitting App had already made its call before I even picked up the driver.

No numbers on the screen. No data to obsess over. Just a calm, judgment-free way to figure out which golf ball actually fits my game. (If you're a launch monitor enthusiast, you can ask to see the numbers. I just know that for me, real-time stats are a fast track to overthinking. A blank screen equals a clear head.)

Behind the scenes, the Titleist app was crunching all the data from my 12 swings—trajectory, spin rate, carry distance, etc—and narrowing it down to one of four golf ball options: Pro V1, Pro V1x, Pro V1x Left Dash, or AVX.

The final answer? The Pro V1x best suits my game.

And for the first time in a while, I didn’t just like the ball, I trusted it.

It also made me realize something I’d overlooked: the golf ball is the one piece of equipment you use on every single shot. When you’re playing the right one, it complements your swing, enhances the experience, and helps you pull off some epic moments. When you’re not? You might be fighting against yourself without even realizing it.

That’s what made this fitting feel like a secret shortcut. I didn’t need to memorize spin rates or chase launch monitor perfection. I just had to swing the way I normally do and let the app do the rest.

Compared to a fitting I did a few years ago at a private club (an hour-long session with way more swings and way more data), this one felt refreshing. Quick. Friendly. Focused. And just as accurate.

So here’s my takeaway: If you’re even slightly unsure about what ball you should be playing, do yourself a favor. Walk into your local PGA Tour Superstore. Take 12 swings. Let the app (and the fitter) guide you. It’s one of the easiest upgrades you can make.

You’ll walk out with more confidence, more clarity, and a ball that works with your game, not against it.
