    I love content like this. Awesome job by Titleist to partner with NLU to give us this type of insight into how the best think through equipment. Hope there's more to come!

    Very informative. Made me pretty sure I play the right ball based off many factors. PROV1x for me all day

    Really liked the video. It's amazing how close Jordan & Scotty would get on "guessing" the amount of spin on their shots.
  5. One thing I think they should have pointed out in the video was the difference in the irons the two guys play. Scotty playing P7TW blades and Jordan with T100's, there is a big difference in the amount of spin coming off those two clubs with identical swings.
  6. I love hearing players talk through what they are thinking and what they are trying to do and overall thought process. It is very helpful
  7. Incredible how these guys can be so accurate in guessing spin numbers, carry distance, etc.

    Love seeing their abilities, creativity, and the dialog. What I continue to miss (it has to be me :-)) and what I cannot find online is this: which ball is the longest, which ball spins the highest (per club), and which ball is tailored to what kind of player and/or handicap? In short, I still don't know how each of the ProV1, ProV1x, and "Left Dash" ranks as to carry and length. I still don't know which one will spin the highest with the same wedges being played.
    Can anyone please, for my sanity, reply with some more specific answers?! Thanks, Chris

    Loved watching this. How tour players can feel how much spin and have them relay that information to the amateur on how that affects their ball flight (carry, fade vs draw). It actually resonated with me because I never quite understood how I can hit a wedge with the intent of throwing it up higher and have it land shorter than expected. Whether that was the intent or not...that was my big take away. btw: Pro V1 yellow

    AWESOME! Love stuff like this. It validates the ball I play (V1X) with all of their comments. But to me the most important point was at the end... the goal is so the player doesn't have to think about (or worry about) the ball they play.

    That's the Titleist consistency - Shot to shot, pitch to pitch, chip to chip, putt to putt, hole to hole, round to round and season to season!!!

    Why do they never include AVX? Have we been lied to about it being a premium ball?

    I love these kinds of videos.. more of this stuff @teamtitleist… that said, Why AVX’s never included? Have we been lied to about it being a premium ball?

  16. Was amazed at what they could feel and also their spin guesses were usually close.

    Scottie and Jordan are fun to watch hitting their shots. My takeaway was pick a ball that optimizes your game and appropriately gaps your club distances. I love the X but can play the V with mininal loss of performance. The recent rule changes allowing to change balls between holes may help golfers depending on wind and hole configuration.
