Hi All, I’m trying to contact your ball fitter Joe who did a great ball and club fitting for me in Ballyliffin yesterday.

[quote user="Steve P"]Can't get anyone to talk to me...... why can't you pick a custom number for AVX...????

[/quote]

At least through My Titleist there are more options to customize all Titleist balls. Maybe the AVX will be part of the previous offered Loyalty offer in March along with the Pro-V1/1x this coming year.

DT Truesoft, Velocity, and Tour Soft are all non-urethane or non-tour balls. Can’t guess which would match the characteristics of the Q ball. If you have a home course with a pro you can talk to, that person can suggest something that best matches your game. And have some sleeves you can buy to compare.

I am an older (55) high handicapper (17) and I usually play a srxn Qstar. What ball in the titleist line would match up as well or hopefully better than the Qstar? My swing speed is low-mid 90's. Driver distance 200.

Try the Titleist Tour Soft or the DT TruSoft.

I have personally tried all of the Titleist balls and a few of the other brands. I get good distance out of the Velocity but lose feel around the greens. As previously stated in other ball posts It is preferred to start with the feel around the green and work your way back toward the tee when selecting a ball. With that said, as a price point ball with feel I like the Tour Soft ball. If I am playing course that has very little trouble I will play the premium AVX ball. I always come back to the Titleist feel in their softer cover balls. They just perform better on and around the greens.

I agree, however it is sometimes hard to find a sleeve of the balls, I would like to see Titleist make a sample pack, 1 sleeve each of Pro V1, Pro V1X, AVX, and Tour Soft, that would be great for us that do not have ball fittings in our area, and definately cheaper then having to buy a dozen of each

Which ball

TUrreta — Wed, 02 May 2018 23:40:27 GMT

Up until now my main interaction with golf balls was simply trying to hit one. Now I'm starting to be able to feel the difference between balls. I'm a fairly high handicap golfer who has been playing for 2 years. I went to all Titleist clubs last year and am completely happy with them.

My quandary- In addition to the ProV1 and ProV1X Titleist has released a new DT Trusoft, Velocity, TourSoft and AVX.

Other than buying multiple sleeves of each and doing a massive cross-comparison - how do I figure out which works best for me? I am hoping that a ball fitting event happens near me and I can get a spot in it.

Any other thoughts?

Abby L- the chart of ProV1 vs ProV1X and AVX was great. Is there such a beast for all balls?

I agree completely the softer feel of the AVX is exactly what I've been looking for both around the greens and putting.

Im 73 years of age and play off 11, the AVX is the best ball I have ever played

With the 2017 release of Pro V1/V1 X, I really had to do some soul searching - they almost flipped performance characteristics to me. I had played the X for 12 years and had great performance from it, but I noticed too much spin relative to the shots I was hitting across the board. I found that the new Pro V1 was the best ball for me, and offered a lower flight with reduced spin compared to previous models. I also was getting close to 7000 RPM with the Pro V1 with my 7 iron according to Trackman, and the Pro V1x would have only been higher.

I completely agree that you should justify a ball's performance around the green first (as the difference will be highest between models) and then irons and ONLY then woods.

ProV1 will have a softer feel / sound vs ProV1x

Which ball is softer for irons and putter???

RE: Pro V. Vs Pro V1

DALE F — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 16:38:27 GMT

Pro V1. Vs Pro V1X

RE: Which ball

Laurence A — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 23:34:52 GMT

Long time player. Now playing ProV1. Distsnce is good but like the soft feel on iron and wedge. shots, and on my putter
Best for my short game.

RE: Which ball

Bob R — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 21:10:42 GMT

The proof is in the pudding. During the warmer months, I tend to favor the ProV1X. Though I'm far from being a long hitter, it just has a great feel to it. On the other hand, during the off season it feels like a rock and I'm more inclined to hit the DT TruSoft which delivers on distance without uncomfortable feedback.
I've tried the AVX and am not impressed. As premium balls go, it doesn't have anything going for it. I suspect that it better fits those who are looking for characteristics that a better player seeks out.
As to the Tour Soft, for me it's a love/hate relationship. It plays well but doesn't generate any enthusiasm on my part. To me it's nothing more than NXT 2.0.

Would love to do another ball test.

RE: Which ball

Kyle S — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 21:57:17 GMT

I've struggled with the same process this year. I am old school with my chipping and hit bump and run shots. I hit the ball high and don't really worry too much about spin that area either. I am planning on trying the AVX next week on a trip to see if it is as good as everyone states. I like the Pro V1 for the feel and distance. Love the price of the Tour Soft and overall performance as well.

I find that the lower priced balls due to the cover material feel hard! I personally do not like that feel, especially when putting. I tend to lose the distance control.

Abby - glad to hear that a new resource is in the works for ball fitting!

Hey there - I definitely agree with you that going through a Titleist golf ball fitting is going to be your best route. We don't currently have a full Titleist golf ball family chart, but stay tuned for some great resources we're coming out with to help you along with a golf ball fitting!

Best,

You should do some research and look for a launch monitor near you. Go get fitted by someone who knows what they are doing. Makes a big difference.

I agree with Ryan. Nothing like Titleist asking an opinion of it's members. Great to receive those in the mailbox.

I usually play in senior tournaments, but for the first time in many many years I entered a Men's Invitational Tournament and decided to give it a go with the young guys. May not have been the best decision, but I did have fun. Great tee gifts from Titleist and FootJoy and played a lot of shots I had not hit in many years. That AVX is a lively ball and that number four I teed up with on Friday stayed with me for three days. Yep, did not loose a single ball and played the same one the whole time. Found that I, at the age of 72, can hit it reasonably long for my age, but when it come to the young bucks, the hit it about 50-70 yards longer. My carry is about 220 yards and maybe another 20 to 30 yards roll, depending on the terrain. From the men's tees, those mid irons are tough for those old guy but that AVX ball is something else and I would recommend it. Now when I go back to playing from the senior tees in tournament, I will more than likely go back to my old number one ball, which is the Prov1. My AVX roll well on these fast greens. A bit quick at 11 on Friday, 12 on Saturday, and 11 today. Three and four putts were rather common this week. If you were on the high side, you were in trouble. I did win my flight against guys much younger. Ended up with two new pair of Pro/SLs on order that are coming out October 1st. Red/White/Blue and Black BOAs. All's well that end's well. And the BBQ was, well ok at best. Hey, I lived in Memphis for ten years. I will be back in October at the same club for their two day senior invitational. Cheers, Chuck.......l

I have been playing the Pro V1 series since they came out. I have tried many balls over the years but have never used anything other than a Titleist in competition. I only trust the Pro V1X. Best feel, and performance for my game.
