    On the range at the Genesis, the Titleist range balls were stamped with TOUR and not PRACTICE. Wondering how these balls compare to the other Titleist balls.

    It's just cosmetic, they are exactly the same Pro V1s and Pro V1xs we buy in the store. Every brand provides range balls for their players, if you look at the range tent at any Tour stop you'll see buckets/bags with signs indicating each different model of ball available. I imagine the TOUR stamp is simply an identifier so they know where the batch of balls is supposed to go.

    Titleist does also sell PRACTICE stamped Pro V1s and Pro V1xs at a discounted rate, these are ones that didn't pass a final cosmetic check so the logo may have a blemish, but performance-wise are identical to the regular retail balls. Usually the PRACTICE dozens are mixed Pro V1 and Pro V1x.

    Not entirely true. Balls sold to shops and ranges marked PRACTICE are first quality balls. They are only sold in bulk, 25 dozen to the box and they are ProV1. You can get Prov1x, but it takes a bit more work. They bulk box is not a mix of the two balls.

    When the balls change, I normally get a bulk box to use for practice. However, they are not for retail sale.

    Could mean nothing, could mean anything!
