2012-04-01Hunter Mahan has said he is playing with more confidence than ever, and he has the results to show for it. He climbed to #4 in the Official World Golf Ranking, #1 in FedExCup points, and #1 on the money list after his one-shot victory at the Shell Houston Open at Redstone Golf Club in Humble, Texas.  His 16-under total (69-67-65-71) earned him his second title of 2012 and the fifth of his career. 鈥淪hoot, I鈥檇 be lying to you if I said it doesn鈥檛 feel good to be ranked number 4 in the world,鈥?Mahan said post-round. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a pretty surreal thing to think about. To win twice and be fourth it feels great, it really does. It shows me what I can do and what I鈥檓 capable of.鈥滱s it did at the WGC-Accenture Match Play in February, Mahan鈥檚 Nome 355 putter played a key supporting role. On Saturday, he needed only 26 putts, many from long range, in shooting a 7-under 65. He made putts totaling 171 feet; the field average was 74 feet. He has gone 102 consecutive holes without a three-putt. Mahan鈥檚 #4 world status makes him the highest-ranked American. He earned more than $1 million for the victory; his winnings total nearly $3 million this season.  In addition to the Nome putter, Mahan relied on a G20 driver (9.5潞), G20 3-wood (15潞), i15 hybrid (17潞), S56 irons (3-PW), and Anser forged wedges (56潞, 60潞). 2012-01-08The T-shirts summed it up. Four fans stood shoulder-to-shoulder behind the 18th green on Sunday watching Louis Oosthuizen while wearing loud, matching shirts that spelled out the message, 鈥淎ll Hail King Louis.鈥? In fact, the South African did reign, successfully defending his Africa Open title in his home country by two shots at 27 under. The win was highlighted by a second-round 62 at the 6,691-yard East London Golf Club in East London, South Africa.Despite the 62 and making 28 birdies with two eagles for the week, Oosthuizen鈥檚 ninth career win was hard earned. He called the final round 鈥渁 dog fight,鈥?with the lead switching hands numerous times. Tied on the 71st hole, Oosthuizen rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt while his playing competitor bogeyed, giving him what proved to be his winning cushion. Oosthuizen continued what has been torrid play in recent months. He has finished no lower than eighth in his last six starts, and is a combined 93-under-par over those events. But winning in his homeland (69-62-67-67) was his crowning achievement. 鈥淚t鈥檚 always nice playing in front of home crowds,鈥?said the 29-year-old. 鈥淎nd to win in my first tournament of the year, you can鈥檛 ask for better.鈥滻n his PING Tour Staff bag: a Rapture V2 9-degree driver, S56 irons, Tour-S Rustique wedges (47潞, 54潞, 60潞), and a Scottsdale ZB S putter.PING Pros Peter Karmis and Matthew Baldwin (a European Tour rookie) finished T10. <a href="http://cvddocs.com/simple/steel_1/index.html" rel="nofollow">titleist set of clubs cheap golf irons sets</a>  
2013-03-03Michael Thompson fired one of only five sub-par rounds on Sunday at a windy PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., a 1-under 69 that gave him a two-shot victory at The Honda Classic. His first PGA Tour win secured him a spot in the WGC-Cadillac Championship next week and moved him to 11th in FedExCup points. He displayed keen short-game skills and clutch putting all week. In the final round he made a number of key pars from off the green. He was 9 under on rounds of 67-65-70-69.鈥淭his week was magical,鈥?said Thompson, 27, who earned $1,080,000. 鈥淚 stuck to my game plan, kept playing my game, found a groove and kept believing. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.鈥漈hompson was T1 for the week with 18 birdies, and he eagled the third hole Sunday when he holed a 49-foot putt. He shared the 54-hole lead with rookie and fellow PING Pro Luke Guthrie, 23, who finished solo third 鈥?his best finish on the PGA Tour.Thompson utilized an i20 driver, G25 fairway wood, S56 irons, Tour-S and Anser wedges, and an Anser 4 putter. 2013-05-05For the second straight week, a young PING pro won his first PGA Tour event 鈥?and the coveted perks that come with victory. On Sunday it was 22-year-old rookie Derek Ernst capturing the Wells Fargo Championship in his eighth start as a PGA Tour member. While Billy Horschel won with a birdie on the 72nd hole the previous week, Ernst birdied the final hole to finish at 8-under and earn a spot in a two-man playoff, which he won with a par on the first extra hole at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.  Among the latest PING technology in his bag was a Scottsdale TR Grayhawk putter, which he added last week in New Orleans, and Tour Gorge wedges.The win comes with a two-year exemption, plus invitations to his first Masters, next week鈥檚 Players Championship, the PGA, and two World Golf Championships. What made the victory sweeter was Ernst almost didn鈥檛 get into the event. Beginning the week, he was the fourth alternate. 鈥淭his feeling is unbelievable right now,鈥?he said.He won in impressive fashion. In a cold rain on the 18th hole in regulation, Ernst hit his 192-yard approach to 4 feet, then sunk the birdie putt. It was one of only four birdies on 18 all day. Playing the same hole in the playoff, he hit a 3-iron approach to 15 feet, lipped out his birdie putt, but made par for the victory.He was paired with Lee Westwood, who finished T4, his fourth top 10 in nine PGA Tour starts this season. Ernst pocketed more than $1.2 million on rounds of 67-71-72-70. In addition to the Tour wedges and Scottsdale TR Grayhawk putter, he played an i20 driver, i15 3-wood, Anser hybrid, and S56 irons.

His 6-under 66 was the low round of the day, giving him a 10 under total (70-70-66).'To win anywhere is special,' Triplett said. 'But to win at Pebble Beach is extra special. To do it in my first Champions Tour try is great.' He is one of only six players who have won on the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, and the Web.com Tour, where last year at age 49 he became the oldest winner in that tour鈥檚 history.  Triplett earned $255,000, and he now has four top 10s in only eight tournaments on the Champions Tour.

Posted: January 3, 2013                            FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Dec. 10, 2012) &ndash; Delivering more performance from both turf and tee, the new Titleist 913 fairway metals and hybrids are built for more distance and control with the most precise fit available to all serious golfers.Developed from extensive player testing and advanced engineering, the 913F and 913F.d Low Spin fairway metals and 913H and 913H.d hybrids are Titleist&rsquo;s highest performing, most comprehensive designs, featuring optimized launch with reduced spin for longer distance and precision fitting provided by Titleist&rsquo;s patented SureFit Tour adjustable hosel technology.The 913 fairways and hybrids utilize a new SureFit Tour weight location on the sole of each club to help create distinct performance targets, all-around performance or lower spin with a penetrating flight. Golfers can select their models &ndash; 913F or 913F.d Low Spin, 913H or 913H.d &ndash; based on forgiveness or ball flight.&ldquo;The 913 line of fairway metals and hybrids represent another breakthrough in long game performance,&rdquo; said Dan Stone, Vice President of Research and Development, Titleist Golf Clubs.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve applied some of the same advanced design strategies used in building the new 913 drivers to create more distance potential and greater forgiveness with the fairways and hybrids, while making further advances in ball flight, looks, sound and feel. Add in the fitting power of the SureFit Tour hosel, and you have the highest performing adjustable fairways and hybrids in the game.&rdquo;&ldquo;Golfers are always looking for more distance and control in their long game, but they also need versatility,&rdquo; said Steve Pelisek, General Manager, Titleist Golf Clubs. &ldquo;The 913 fairways and hybrids not only deliver better performance, they provide serious golfers with more options to dial-in their set composition to fit their long game strategy and the way they play the game.&rdquo;MORE DISTANCE THROUGH IMPROVED LAUNCH CONDITIONS: The 913 fairway metals and hybrids feature center of gravity (CG) positions lower than the prior generation 910 models to further maximize distance potential through reduced spin while providing stability and forgiveness.To accomplish this more optimal CG, the Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D team made improvements to the head designs and SureFit Tour hosel structure, allowing for more discretionary mass to be redistributed low and deep in each head.&ldquo;In combination with a new flat SureFit Tour weight, this allowed us to really move our CGs to new performance thresholds and obtain improved distance potential,&rdquo; Stone said.With the 913 fairways, engineers utilized a new casting and polishing process to produce an ultra-thin crown, with a lower, flatter sole profile similar to the new 913 drivers. The 913 hybrids were refined with a sleeker, tour-inspired design. For both the 913 fairways and hybrids, Titleist R&amp;D created a leaner SureFit Tour hosel with a lower hosel height and tapered sleeve, which benefits CG position as well as the appearance at address.&ldquo;All of the players we&rsquo;ve tested with have commented on how much better the hosel looks in the address position. As a result, they have even more confidence standing over their shot,&rdquo; said Pelisek.The new SureFit Tour weight on the sole further optimizes the CG for speed and forgiveness. The weight has a new, flat geometry with a screw that holds the weight in place but does not extend up into the driver head, contributing to a lower overall CG.913F vs. 913F.d LOW SPIN FAIRWAY METALS: While both the 913F and 913F.d Low Spin feature lower, more optimal CG locations for more distance potential, the new 913 fairway metals provide two distinct performance choices evident by the different locations of their SureFit Tour weights.The 913F is a high performance, classic pear shaped fairway that delivers distance with stability through low and deep weighting for all-around performance from the turf and tee.The 913F.d Low Spin is a high performance, larger full pear shaped fairway that delivers distance with lower spin (about 200 rpm less than 913F) from low and forward weighting for a more penetrating flight.&ldquo;Our player testing shows overall preference is split with the 913F and 913F.d Low Spin models, with many players incorporating both models into their long game setup,&rdquo; Stone said.&ldquo;The 913F is our traditional fairway metal with all-around performance for players that want long distance with more forgiveness. The 913F.d Low Spin meets the needs of players wanting or needing spin reduction in their fairways due to the way they deliver the head.&rdquo;913H vs. 913H.d HYBRIDS: Like their fairway metal counterparts, the 913H and 913H.d models deliver more distance through optimized CG locations while offering two performance options to satisfy players&rsquo; needs.The 913H is a high performance hybrid that delivers distance and stability through low and deep weighting for all-around performance.The club has a new tour-inspired shape with a softer toe and a sleeker heel that promotes proper ground contact, with increased offset in the high-lofted models to improve appearance, playability and forgiveness.The 913H, with the SureFit Tour weight located deep on the sole, has also been designed with progressive CG locations through the range of lofts for optimized launch and spin control to deliver proper distance and ball flight&ldquo;We look at hybrids as individual golf clubs. They&rsquo;re being used to fill specific voids in a player&rsquo;s set, they&rsquo;re replacing irons or they&rsquo;re filling a gap. That means they require that each one be designed with their own CG position such that you get the correct launch, spin and shot control for each club. As we move up in loft with the 913H models, the CG moves more forward to help maintain spin for proper shot control,&rdquo; Stone said.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve also added offset to the high-lofted models for improved appearance, playability and forgiveness. That&rsquo;s a preferred look as you&rsquo;re moving from an iron into a hybrid. You don&rsquo;t want your hybrid to look like a fairway wood as you&rsquo;re making that transition.&rdquo;The 913H.d is a high performance hybrid that delivers distance with lower spin from low and forward weighting for a more penetrating flight.The 913H.d has a more compact head than 913H with slightly more offset. The forward-positioned SureFit Tour weight and compact head combine to produce a forward-positioned CG location that provides spin and trajectory control for higher speed players or players that want or need to control spin based on how they deliver the head at impact.&ldquo;The 913H.d is a product our tour players wanted,&rdquo; Pelisek said. &ldquo;The forward CG really helps higher speed players control the flight and trajectory. And many players like the compact, more iron-like shape. We decided to make the 913H.d available by custom-order-only in the market to allow our loyal Titleist golfers that need spin control access to a product that will be very popular on the PGA Tour.&rdquo;PRECISION FIT VIA &ldquo;TOUR VAN-IN-A-HOSEL&rdquo;: The best way to fully experience the technology and total performance of 913 fairways and hybrids is to be precision fit using Titleist&rsquo;s patented, dual angle, industry-leading SureFit Tour adjustable hosel.The SureFit Tour hosel allows golfers to set loft and lie independently to optimize ball flight &ndash; higher or lower, and for more draw or fade for improved shot control and maximum distance.&ldquo;We call it &lsquo;Tour Van-in a hosel&rsquo; because that was our inspiration for designing SureFit Tour in that it provides all the power of a tour van &ndash; the ability to bend for loft and lie, and interchange shafts &ndash; right on the tee at the point of fitting,&rdquo; Stone said.The dual angle SureFit Tour hosel features a sleeve and ring, each with four settings. The sleeve settings are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and the ring settings are lettered A, B, C, D. In total there are 16 settings, each creating a unique loft and lie combination.A Titleist authorized fitter will utilize the SureFit Tour hosel, coupled with interchangeable shafts and SureFit Tour weights, to determine a player&rsquo;s optimal setup so they are playing 913 fairway metals and hybrids fit precisely to their game.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve already seen the fitting effectiveness of the SureFit Tour hosel with the success of 910 metals,&rdquo; Pelisek said. &ldquo;Tour players on down to average golfers with more moderate swing speeds benefit greatly from a more precise fit.&rdquo;TOUR VALIDATION: The 913 fairways metals and hybrids have found instant acceptance and success since the seeding and validation process began on the worldwide professional tours.The new models made their debut on the PGA Tour in late August at The Barclays, where 15 new 913 fairway metals and hybrids were immediately put in play. The following week at the Deutsche Bank Championship, 21 new 913 fairways and hybrids were in players&rsquo; bags. The winner of the event used 913F.d Low Spin 13.5&ordm; and 18&ordm; models. The same player won again the following week at the BMW Championship and added a third win with the new clubs at the European Tour&rsquo;s season finale, the DP World Tour Championship.Player counts have continued to climb, as a total of five players have combined for eight wins gaming new 913 fairway metals or hybrids. Most recently, Arnond &ldquo;Bank&rdquo; Vongvanij played a 913F.d Low Spin 13.5&ordm; in winning the King&rsquo;s Cup for his first Asian Tour title.Among the players with 913 fairways and hybrids in their bags are: Jason Dufner (913F.d 13.5&ordm;, 913H 19&ordm;), Bill Haas (913F 13.5&ordm;, 913H.d 18&ordm;), Geoff Ogilvy (913F.d 15&ordm; &amp; 18&ordm;), Kyung-Tae Kim (913F.d 13.5&ordm;), Greg Chalmers (913F.d 13.5&ordm;, 913F 17&ordm;, 913H.d 20&ordm;), Scott Piercy (913F.d 15&ordm;), Ben Curtis (913F.d 13.5&ordm;, 913H.d 18&ordm; &amp; 23&ordm;), Daisuke Maruyama (913F.d 13.5&ordm; &amp; 18&ordm;, 913H.d 20&ordm; &amp; 23&ordm;), Ben Crane (913F.d 15&ordm;), Bud Cauley (913F.d 13.5&ordm;) and Ben Kohles (913F 13.5&ordm;, 913H 17&ordm;).BOLD LOOKS: The 913 fairways and hybrids have bold new cosmetics to match the new 913 drivers, with a striking, black PVD finish and a new black body paint that provides a sense of confidence and power at address.IMPRESSIVE STOCK SHAFT MATRIX: The 913&rsquo;s high performance stock shaft matrix features four tour-proven options, including three high performance aftermarket shafts (one from Aldila and two from Mitsubishi) to fit a wide range of players and swing speeds.The stock fairway lineup includes the Aldila RIP Phenom 80 shaft, the Mitsubishi Diamana D+ White 82 and Mitsubishi S+ Blue 72, along with the Titleist Bassara W 55 (S,R,A) and 45 (L) by Mitsubishi.The stock hybrid lineup includes the Aldila RIP Phenom 80 HYB, the Mitsubishi Diamana D+ White 92 HY, the Diamana S+ Blue 82 HY (S) and 72 HY (R), as well as the Titleist Bassara W 60 HYB (S,R,A) and 50 HYB (L) by Mitsubishi.In addition, Titleist offers an industry-leading number of custom shaft choices.Note: The new SureFit Tour hosel design in 913F, 913F.d Low Spin, 913H and 913H.d cannot accept shafts from Titleist 910 fairways or hybrids.

Posted: April 19, 2013                            FAIRHAVEN, Mass. &ndash; Titleist adds a new option in long game performance with the introduction of 712U, a forged utility iron that provides high speed, traditional blade iron players with improved playability and shot control.Engineered with a deep center of gravity (CG) position for a higher moment of inertia (MOI), Titleist 712U delivers increased stability and playability versus a traditional long iron while providing enhanced trajectory and spin control versus a hybrid.A result of extensive research and tour player testing conducted by the Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D team, 712U features a wider, camber sole design that promotes clean turf interaction and is effective for a variety of attack angles, making the club more versatile when trying to hit high or low shots. 712U also uses a tapered-tip iron shaft for additional trajectory control.712U utilizes a forged, hollow body 1025 steel construction with a high-speed 455 steel face insert to provide the performance, looks and feel that have made Titleist irons the No. 1 choice of players across the worldwide professional tours.Offered in 2-iron (18&ordm;), 3-iron (21&ordm;) and 4-iron (24&ordm;) lofts, 712U utility irons are available by custom order beginning May 15.First introduced on the PGA Tour late last year, 712U is already the most played utility iron model on the PGA Tour through the first 14 events of the 2013 season. 712U models can currently be found in the bags of tour pros like Adam Scott (2-iron), Tim Clark (4-iron) and Geoff Ogilvy (2-iron) &ndash; players who prefer a utility iron over a hybrid as an alternative to traditional long irons.&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t like the look of hybrids, but the 712U (2-iron) looks great at address,&rdquo; said Ogilvy. &ldquo;It is a bit stronger than a 2-iron, it goes farther than a 2-iron and it&rsquo;s easy to hit. It feels great, performs how I need it to, and I like having it in my bag.&rdquo;&ldquo;During the development of 712U, we worked closely with our tour players to design a utility iron that delivers a great combination of consistency and control,&rdquo; said Steve Pelisek, General Manager, Titleist Golf Clubs. &ldquo;The deeper CG results in a higher MOI that increases stability at impact, helping players achieve more consistent distance and trajectory control, whether hitting shots high or low.&ldquo;With the 712U being so well received out on tour, we decided to make the club available through custom order for those players that need or prefer this type of long game yardage and trajectory solution,&rdquo; Pelisek said.The 712U has a traditional profile with a rounded back design that is preferred in the address position over cavity back long irons with more offset. Players will gain added confidence at address from a club head that is slightly larger than the 2-iron, 3-iron and 4-iron Titleist MB and CB (712 Series) models.The club is chrome plated and features a satin finish.PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: The new Titleist 712U is available by custom order only beginning May 15 with a suggested base retail price of $235 (MAP: $209) with a steel shaft and $259 (MAP: $229) with a graphite shaft.

(Jan. 21, 2015) &ndash; For nearly 15 years, the exceptional distance, superior scoring performance and unmatched consistency of Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls have been making a difference in the games of golfers around the world, from tour professionals to amateurs of all skill levels and swing speeds.It was in October 2000 that the original Pro V1 prototype first appeared on the PGA Tour at the Invensys Classic in Las Vegas. Forty-seven players put the ball in play that week, marking one of the largest pluralistic shifts of equipment at one event in golf history. In March 2001, just four months after launching to golf shops, Titleist Pro V1 became the best-selling golf ball in the marketplace.&ldquo;The launch of Pro V1 was especially significant in that for the very first time the best performing golf ball for tour players was also the best performing golf ball for all golfers,&rdquo; said Mary Lou Bohn, Vice President of Titleist Golf Ball Marketing and Communications. &ldquo;You no longer had to choose between distance over short-game control, or durability over soft feel. There were no trade-offs. Pro V1 delivered total performance.&rdquo;Pro V1 and Pro V1x (which launched in 2003) have been the most played golf balls at every level of competitive golf and the best-selling models around the world ever since. That&rsquo;s because the Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D and Operations teams, representing more than 20,000 years of golf ball-making expertise, have worked every day to make the #1 ball in golf even better with each new generation.The new 2015 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x models, available in golf shops beginning Jan. 30, are the result of a continuous process rooted in rigorous research and development, technological advancements, comprehensive player testing and validation, and precision manufacturing.Designed for all golfers seeking to shoot lower scores, 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x deliver exceptional distance with consistent flight, more short game control and even softer feel from a new, patented urethane elastomer cover formulation, and long lasting durability.Comparatively, Pro V1 has a softer feel, slightly more long game spin and a penetrating trajectory for a shallower angle of descent for more roll. Pro V1x offers a slightly firmer feel, lower long game spin and launches higher with a steeper angle of descent.The total performance of Pro V1 and Pro V1x tee-through-green &ndash; providing the best combination of distance, flight, short-game scoring control and feel &ndash; makes them the best fit for any golfer.&ldquo;Golfers often ask us what sets Pro V1 and Pro V1x apart from other golf balls. You can&rsquo;t just point to one or two things,&rdquo; said Bill Morgan, Senior Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D.&ldquo;The difference is everything. We have more people with more experience designing and making golf balls, the largest intellectual property portfolio and the most sophisticated precision manufacturing processes. The 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x are the culmination of all that knowledge and all of that technology. The original Pro V1 was revolutionary, no question, but we&rsquo;ve learned a lot in the last 15 years and these new Pro V1 models are the best we&rsquo;ve ever made.The Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D team, driven by a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, is made up of chemists, physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and technicians, as well as PGA Professionals and turf management specialists. Due to their work, Titleist owns the industry&rsquo;s largest portfolio of golf ball intellectual property with more than 1,000 patents. Since 2010, Titleist has been awarded nearly 50 percent of all golf ball patents issued in the United States. There are more than 100 patents that cover the technologies and manufacturing processes for 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x combined.Eighty years after the first Titleist golf ball was produced, the Titleist Operations team is comprised of over 1,100 associates with an average tenure of 20 years. These associates manufacture every Titleist golf ball to exacting standards in Titleist owned and operated facilities &ndash;there are about 90 process and product quality checks for Pro V1; about 120 for the dual-core Pro V1x &ndash; assuring that every golf ball performs consistently for every golfer, every round and on every type of shot.Before being introduced to the market, new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls are tested and validated by golfers at every level of the game, fromthe world&rsquo;s best tour players to amateurs of all skill levels and swing speeds. Since 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x were first introduced on the PGA Tour in October, more than 100 players have put the new models in play around the world &ndash; including Jordan Spieth, who played new Pro V1x in back-to-back runaway victories at the Australian Open and Hero World Challenge, winning those events by a combined 16 strokes. Jimmy Walker first put new Pro V1x in play two weeks ago at the PGA Tour&rsquo;s Hyundai Tournament of Champions, where he finished runner-up. The following week, he won the Sony Open in Hawaii by nine shots. Bubba Watson, Padraig Harrington and Charley Hoffman also trusted 2015 Pro V1x to victories soon after the new models were introduced on the worldwide tours.SOFTER COVER ENHANCES SHORT GAME CONTROL AND FEEL: The 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls feature a new, patented thermoset urethane elastomer cover that delivers more short game spin and control, and softer feel &ndash; while maintaining their exceptional distance and flight characteristics, and best-in-class durability. The softer, reformulated cover system improves feel, sound and short game scoring control, providing golfers the confidence and performance to hit it closer to the hole.&ldquo;When we set out to improve Pro V1 and Pro V1x, the product development process always starts with asking golfers how we can help them shoot lower scores,&rdquo; Bohn said. &ldquo;Since golfers have had such resounding success with Pro V1 and Pro V1x, this time around, they told us, &lsquo;Don&rsquo;t change much. I love the distance. I love the scoring performance. I love the durability. If you can give me slightly more spin in the short game as well as even softer feel, I&rsquo;ll take it. I just don&rsquo;t want to give anything up.&rsquo; So that became our design goal.&rdquo;The thermoset urethane cover formulation on both Pro V1 and Pro V1x is created by a chemical reaction that takes place during the sophisticated casting process. Liquid materialsspecifically formulated by Titleist R&amp;D are combined and react to form the solid cover. This urethane is termed &ldquo;thermoset,&rdquo; meaning that the cover, once formed, will not re-melt. Most competitive urethane-covered golf balls use a thermoplastic urethane (TPU), supplied by an outside vendor and usually formulated for another non-golf product, which is melted and then reformed to create the cover.&ldquo;Thermoset urethane is very difficult to work with, but it gives us complete control of the chemical composition. It&rsquo;s essentially a little chemical plant right in the mold, compared with using an off-shelf material like TPU. This allows us to dial in our desired properties of spin control, softness and durability,&rdquo; said Michael Sullivan, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Product Development. &ldquo;We do a lot of testing. We test the urethane on the ball and test it off the ball. In fact, we do so much material testing before it even gets onto a golf ball that by the time it does, we have a solid understanding of how it&rsquo;s going to react. With the new 2015 models, we tested hundreds of formulations. You simply can&rsquo;t do that with TPU. In the end, our iterative prototyping process ultimately improves performance for golfers.&rdquo;&ldquo;We&rsquo;re giving golfers everything they&rsquo;ve previously had in Pro V1 and Pro V1x with some enhancements,&rdquo; Morgan said. &ldquo;They&rsquo;ll get the extraordinary distance and ball flight they&rsquo;re accustomed to. But they&rsquo;ll also get a softer cover, which will add more spin control and feel around the greens. The feedback we&rsquo;ve received on tour and with club professionals and amateurs clearly tells us that players are benefiting from this improved performance.&rdquo;New Pro V1 and Pro V1x also maintain their long-lasting durability. The new urethane cover, combined with the improved paint system that debuted on the 2013 models, keeps Pro V1 and Pro V1x whiter and brighter longer throughout the course of play. The cover and paint system also contributes to an aerodynamically more consistent golf ball. &ldquo;The breakthrough we made in durability with 2013 Pro V1 and Pro V1x really opened up the doors for us in terms of experimentation with our cover formulation. Our urethane is so resilient that as we softened it, we were able to increase short game spin and enhance the feel while maintaining its abrasion resistance,&rdquo; Morgan saidCHOOSING BETWEEN PRO V1 AND PRO V1x: Titleist provides two distinct performance options within the 2015 Pro V1 family. Both Pro V1 and Pro V1x deliver extraordinary distance, the best scoring performance for all golfers, and long lasting durability, yet differ in feel, long game spin and flight.Pro V1 has a softer feel, slightly more long game spin and a more penetrating trajectory for a shallower angle of descent for more roll than Pro V1x.Pro V1 is a three-piece, multiple component technology with a very soft compression ZG process core, ionomeric casing layer, softer thermoset urethane elastomer cover, and spherically-tiled 352 tetrahedral dimple design.Pro V1x has a slightly firmer feel and lower long game spin and launches higher with a steeper angle of descent than Pro V1.Pro V1x is a four-piece, multi-component technology with a ZG process dual core, ionomeric casing layer, softer thermoset urethane elastomer cover and spherically-tiled 328 tetrahedral dimple design.PLAYER VALIDATION: Player testing drives the development of new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls. Titleist R&amp;D&rsquo;s iterative process of listening to players&rsquo; needs, testing prototypes and making further refinements ensures that each new version delivers meaningful performance improvements to golfers. Once a final prototype is selected, its performance is validated by players on the PGA Tour and across the worldwide professional tours, as well as PGA professionals, competitive amateurs and golfers of all skill levels.At last weekend&rsquo;s Sony Open in Hawaii, Jimmy Walker trusted 2015 Pro V1x to rounds of 66-66-62-63 for a nine-stoke victory. A week earlier, Walker teed up new Pro V1x for the first time at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, where he finished runner-up. Over those eight rounds, Walker made 52 birdies and hit 84 percent of greens in regulation. At Hyundai, Walker played a total of four golf balls &ndash; one per round. He also played only one new Pro V1x over his final 18 holes at Sony.&ldquo;I love the performance of the new Pro V1x. It has the perfect ball flight that I am seeking &ndash; nice and tight off the driver, fairways and long irons, and very controllable off the wedges,&rdquo; Walker said. &ldquo;I have confidence that it will perform on every shot. In fact, I put some new Vokey SM5 wedges in the bag at Hyundai, and I kept looking at my ball to see if it needed to be switched out, but it never did. The ball has great feel and is extremely durable. It&rsquo;s the best I&rsquo;ve ever played.&rdquo;At the Australian Open last November, Jordan Spieth trusted the new Pro V1x golf ball to what he called &ldquo;the best round I have ever played&rdquo; &ndash; a final-round 8-under 63 to win by six shots. Spieth&rsquo;s round set the course record on a gusty day at Australian Golf Club, leading several media members to suggest it may have been the best round in the event&rsquo;s 110-year history.&ldquo;It obviously performed well,&rdquo; Spieth said after the round. &ldquo;I used the same ball the entire day todayand it still flew perfectly. The changes to the new golf ball have been big for me and I&rsquo;ve been playing well since changing.&rdquo;Seven days and over 10,000 miles later, Spieth was on the 18th green at Isleworth Country Club in Florida, tapping his new Pro V1x in for par and a 10-shot victory at the Hero World Challenge after rounds of 66-67-63-66.The tour seeding and validation process for the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models began in October at the PGA Tour&rsquo;s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas &ndash; the same city where the original Pro V1 prototype debuted in 2000.A few weeks later, Bubba Watson put new Pro V1x in play for the first time at the WGC-HSBC Championship in China. In the final round, Watson holed a 60-yard bunker shot for eagle on 18 to force a playoff. On the first playoff hole, he rolled his 2015 Pro V1x in from 20 feet for birdie to win.The following Sunday, Charley Hoffman, playing 2015 Pro V1x, shot a final-round 5-under 66 to win the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, closing out the calendar year on the PGA Tour.To date, more than 100 players across the worldwide professional tours have put the new models in play, including Adam Scott, Ian Poulter, Hunter Mahan, Marc Leishman, Bill Haas, Geoff Ogilvy, John Senden, Brendon Todd, Jamie Donaldson, Thongchai Jaidee and Padraig Harrington, who teed up 2015 Pro V1x for the first time in his victory at the Indonesia Open. The last two weeks, Gary Stal (Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship) and Andy Sullivan (South African Open) also trusted new Pro V1x to their first European Tour victories.In addition to tour professionals, more than 4,000 PGA professionals participated in the R&amp;D testing process for 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x. More than 45,000 golfers of all skill levels around the world also received prototypes and reported their feedback through Team Titleist. One test conducted with more than 6,000 Team Titleist members in March 2014 was instrumental to Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D in defining the final specifications of new Pro V1x.WHAT PLAYERS ARE SAYING:Jordan Spieth: &ldquo;The 2015 Pro V1x is very much an improvement for me just as each version has really improved. This one&rsquo;s better for me because that softer cover around the greens allows me to have more spin control and softer feel, without jeopardizing any distance or spin with the long clubs. It&rsquo;s still long off the tee with more control around the greens. &hellip; Pro V1x] feels really nice, like it&rsquo;s sticking to the club face more, which I like. It allows my short irons and wedges to spin a little more which is always nice around the greens, to be able to fly it closer to the hole and have it drop and stop.&rdquo;Bubba Watson: &ldquo;I first tried the new ball two weeks prior to going to China. I loved it and put it in play right away. It has all the great qualities of the previous generation Pro V1x with improved feel around the greens, which is exceptional. It even goes a little further for me off the tee.&rdquo;Hunter Mahan: &ldquo;The new ball feels great. It has the performance and flight characteristics I&rsquo;m looking for with all my full shots, and I&rsquo;ve picked up more spin on my 30-40 yard pitch shots. Overall, I&rsquo;m getting better performance into and around the greens, and still have the flight, trajectory and control I need on full shots.&rdquo;Bill Haas: &ldquo;The first time I tried the new Pro V1x I immediately noticed a softer feel with my irons and wedges. The softer feel provides me slightly more spin around the greens and gives me the added confidence that I can get the ball to stop the way I need it to. For me, more confidence leads to better scoring. I still get the long game performance I need as well with the proper amount of spin and control.&rdquo;Charley Hoffman: &ldquo;I put the new Pro V1x in play immediately after my first day of testing. It has all the great characteristics of the 2013 model off the driver and irons with a slightly softer feel around the greens. It&rsquo;s extremely hot off the driver with the feel of the Pro V1 around the greens. When I won at Mayakoba, the new ball stood up to all the tests. It performed great in the rain on Saturday and unbelievable in the wind on Sunday.&rdquo;Marc Leishman: &ldquo;The new ball still has the firm, solid feel and penetrating flight off the tee, but is noticeably softer and spins more with half shots and chip shots. I feel like I&rsquo;m getting the best of both worlds &ndash; long off the tee and workable around the greens.&rdquo;Padraig Harrington: &ldquo;I used the new Pro V1x for the first time during my victory in the Bank BRI Indonesia Open. After some testing on the practice days, I put the ball straight into play and found it to be a seamless switch. I loved the feel and felt that the ball was spinning a little more around the greens, whilst being just as long off the tee. In fact the last time I switched to a new version of the Pro V1x ball (during the 2011 tour seeding process) I also won in Asia the first week out.&rdquo;Ian Poulter: &ldquo;The new Pro V1x gives me a softer feel and better performance around the greens. I&rsquo;m able to execute all the shots and the ball feels great. I also picked up some ball speed with the driver during testing, so I&rsquo;m getting a little more out of it off the tee.&rdquo;PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: New 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls will be available in golf shops beginning Jan. 30, 2015, with a MAP of $47.99 ($62 MSRP).PLAY NUMBERS: 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls are available in both standard and custom play numbers.

2013-05-05For the second straight week, a young PING pro won his first PGA Tour event 鈥?and the coveted perks that come with victory. On Sunday it was 22-year-old rookie Derek Ernst capturing the Wells Fargo Championship in his eighth start as a PGA Tour member. While Billy Horschel won with a birdie on the 72nd hole the previous week, Ernst birdied the final hole to finish at 8-under and earn a spot in a two-man playoff, which he won with a par on the first extra hole at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.  Among the latest PING technology in his bag was a Scottsdale TR Grayhawk putter, which he added last week in New Orleans, and Tour Gorge wedges.The win comes with a two-year exemption, plus invitations to his first Masters, next week鈥檚 Players Championship, the PGA, and two World Golf Championships. What made the victory sweeter was Ernst almost didn鈥檛 get into the event. Beginning the week, he was the fourth alternate. 鈥淭his feeling is unbelievable right now,鈥?he said.He won in impressive fashion. In a cold rain on the 18th hole in regulation, Ernst hit his 192-yard approach to 4 feet, then sunk the birdie putt. It was one of only four birdies on 18 all day. Playing the same hole in the playoff, he hit a 3-iron approach to 15 feet, lipped out his birdie putt, but made par for the victory.He was paired with Lee Westwood, who finished T4, his fourth top 10 in nine PGA Tour starts this season. Ernst pocketed more than $1.2 million on rounds of 67-71-72-70. In addition to the Tour wedges and Scottsdale TR Grayhawk putter, he played an i20 driver, i15 3-wood, Anser hybrid, and S56 irons. 2012-04-22Lee Westwood made a successful return to Indonesia, winning a second-straight batik jacket, which is awarded to the champion of the Indonesian Masters. 鈥淗opefully, this will kick-start my year,鈥?said the world鈥檚 #3 of his two-shot victory. 鈥淚鈥檝e played well without any wins so hopefully I can go on and win other tournaments.鈥漌estwood charged into the first-round lead with an opening 7-under 65 at 7,322-yard Royale Jakarta Golf Club. He led wire-to-wire, and his 16-under total (65-68-65-74) was enough to defeat a number of pursuers. 鈥淚t is tough when you are the favorite because if you don鈥檛 win then it will be disappointing,鈥?Westwood said, just two days before his 39th birthday. 鈥淭here was a lot of pressure so I鈥檓 glad I did it.鈥漌estwood鈥檚 victory was the fourth in as many weeks for PING pros worldwide. The streak began with Hunter Mahan鈥檚 Shell Houston Open victory, followed by Bubba Watson鈥檚 win at the Masters, and Louis Oosthuizen claiming the Malaysian Open crown.Westwood relies on a G10 driver (9潞), i15 (15.5潞) and Rapture V2 (19潞) fairway woods, i10 irons (3-PW), Tour-W wedges (54潞, 58潞), and a Redwood Anser putter.
