    In early Fall 2014 I received a wonderful surprise in the mail: a sleeve of balls in a plain white box from Titleist!  Needless to say, I was quite pleased to be invited into the Titleist R&D testing community.

    Honestly, I'd tried ProV 1's and 1X's and although I loved the feel, I felt that I didn't have the swing speed to make them perform for my game. So, I was enthused to see how these new balls would work on the course. 

    I was even more enthused once I tried the "Test" balls with the red font, that I ultimately learned were the prototype ProV 1X released in January 2015.  

    It only took one 9 hole round to recognize that these were really something special: feel, spin, distance and durability.  All I could say was "wow" and started playing them earlier this year. I added something like 20 yards to my drives and began needing to walk farther to find my ball . . . . in the fairway!

    And now, thanks to including me in your test program and your new ball, I'm really pleased to say that as 14 hcp golfer, I just broke 80 on a regulation golf course for the first time, including shooting even par 36 on the front nine!

    All I can say, is I'm a believer now and can't wait to see where these ProV 1x's will take me in the future!

    Many thanks,

    Hopefully I will receive some test balls soon. Would love a chance to give some feedback. I'm a 1 handicap.

    Happy to hear the success! When I got that white box last fall, it was such a cool feeling. The new prototype Pro V1x was absolutely the best ball (and still is) that I have played to date.

    I received an email last week asking me to update my information.  It would be a true honor and pleasure to test out a new ball.  Hopefully I'll get called up to the big leagues.

    i received these for the prov1 x also last fall. What a great way to feel included by Titleist product development. I gave as thorough as possible review on the survey. Hope to be included again

    Looking forward to the new test- hoping to be a part of it. But whether I get to participate in the testing, I'm still excited about it all. Pro V1(x) are already a great ball, and to know that Titleist continues to strive and better what we can already get our hands on and also including its community feedback, I think is awesome of them.... it doesn't get any better.

    Spezza, could not help but notice you avatar. Was in Nova Scotia at Cabot and played both of the courses on the 23rd and 24th of September. The new Cliffs course is awesome. Assuming you have played the Links course. Super resort for golf. cz

    Hello TT!

    Recently I have seen that Titleist has started to send out test balls to TT members. Though I have recieved these before, I am not exactly sure how I recieved them. I had just signed up for TT and they sent me test balls right away! Lucky I know! I would love to recieve test balls again, and I want to know what I have to do to be qualified for them. 

    Thank you very much,

    Davis

  18. Hoping for better luck this year than the last few. October testing just before English winter would be just perfect and a nice early Christmas present. Fingers crossed.

    I too am looking forward to testing for Titleist.  I have done to previous testings and enjoyed the process and felt honored to be part of the TEAM.

    The only thing that surpasses Titleist's balls and equipment, which are the best on the planet, is their sincere interest in the opinions of amateur golfers like most of us here at Team Titleist. Their support for our games is what has made me a Titleist lifer!
