(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.

Posted: September 3, 2013                            FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Sept. 3, 2013) &ndash; Precision engineered for advanced performance, the new Titleist AP1 and AP2 irons deliver longer flight with increased forgiveness and a more solid feel.Precise iron play requires both distance and control, hitting shots that fly the desired distance with the proper trajectory to softly land the ball near the pin. The new AP1 and AP2 (714 Series) irons, available in golf shops worldwide beginning Nov. 8, feature progressive designs developed by the Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D team to produce optimum launch, trajectory and distance for each loft. Advanced CG height progression, precisely designed into both models, creates higher launching long irons and flatter launching short irons for more carry distance with outstanding control to help players stop the ball on the green, closer to the hole.Titleist R&amp;D also utilized innovative tungsten weighting and manufacturing technologies to make AP1 and AP2 the most forgiving irons in the game at the head sizes and blade lengths preferred by serious golfers. Performance-engineered profiles with precisely placed high density tungsten weighting in the long and mid irons help produce higher MOI, increasing the speed on miss-hits to provide consistent distance without sacrificing workability or shot control.The new AP1 irons are the longest, most forgiving irons Titleist has ever made, with a multi-material, dual cavity design for players that want maximum distance, forgiveness and solid feel in a great looking progressive game improvement chassis. The new AP2 models are multi-material forged irons that offer distance with trajectory control and forgiveness with workability in a solid feeling, great looking tour-proven chassis.&ldquo;When it comes to iron play, distance without the ability to stop your shot is meaningless. You have to hit the ball far enough to reach the green, but also have the proper ball flight to stop it near the hole,&rdquo; said Steve Pelisek, General Manager, Titleist Golf Clubs. &ldquo;What our R&amp;D team has accomplished with the new AP1 and AP2 models is impressive, effectively taking each individual iron as its own design and optimizing its performance to provide longer distance, more consistent distance and stopping control, even when you don&rsquo;t hit a shot perfectly.&rdquo;The new irons debuted on the PGA Tour this summer to immediate validation and success, with two instant converters to the new AP2 models quickly earning breakthrough victories. Jordan Spieth won his first-career PGA Tour title at the John Deere Classic with new AP2 irons in the bag, just two weeks after the clubs launched on tour. Soon after, Jason Dufner played new AP2&rsquo;s in winning the PGA Championship for his first major title.LONGER, PRECISE FLIGHT: Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D designed the new AP1 and AP2 irons to provide the best combination of trajectory and distance control. The long and mid irons feature improved dual-cavity constructions (AP1 has a new, deep undercut; AP2 has a 25-percent thinner upper cavity face) with high density tungsten efficiently placed low in the head for lower CG, making it easier for players to launch the ball higher for more carry distance. The short irons have a thicker upper face and narrower sole that help raise the CG for a lower, flatter trajectory with outstanding control into the green.The short iron lofts in both AP1 (#7-W) and AP2 (#6-W) have been strengthened 1 degree to help lower launch and increase ball speed for more distance. A second AP1 gap wedge (52&ordm;) has also been added to help with set gapping.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve really taken progressive design to another level to get that flight and forgiveness where we want it,&rdquo; Pelisek said.To ensure proper CG height throughout the set, high density tungsten is placed low in the bottom of the hosel of the AP2 P and W irons. This also helps make for a better transition to utility wedges, which typically have the CG slightly closer to the heel.MAXIMUM FORGIVENESS: AP1 and AP2 irons provide the most forgiveness in the game at their tour-proven blade sizes. High density tungsten is precisely placed low in the toe (and co-forged into the heel of AP2) of the long and mid irons to create high MOI that drives higher ball speeds across the face for more consistent distance on off-center hits.&ldquo;Every player can benefit from added forgiveness. You always want to maintain distance so that you carry that bunker, or water hazard, even if you don&rsquo;t catch it on the center of the face,&rdquo; said Dan Stone, Vice President of Titleist Golf Club R&amp;D. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a progression in how we design irons. Since long irons require more speed and are more difficult to hit for most players, we try to maximize the forgiveness. You can design more forgiveness into an iron by simply make the head bigger, but in doing so, we would give up control. And Titleist wants to use a profile and shape that players prefer. So we push the envelope with high density tungsten in order to maximize forgiveness while retaining the look that serious golfers want to play.&rdquo;CO-FORGING PROCESS: Pioneered by Titleist R&amp;D, the co-forging process allows for the extreme placement of high density tungsten low and out on the heel of the AP2 long irons. The result is higher launch with maximum forgiveness, without the loss of workability or shot control, at the AP2&rsquo;s constant, tour-preferred blade length.The tungsten co-forging process takes place in the middle of the AP2&rsquo;s standard forging process. The partially forged head is removed from the forging die, after which a pilot hole is drilled into the heel. The hole is seeded with the tungsten weight and a steel cap. The head is then returned to the forging die where the tungsten is precisely hammered into place.&ldquo;The co-forging process really illustrates the critical thinking and the tremendous design and engineering expertise we have in Titleist R&amp;D to keep finding way to improve our irons,&rdquo; said Marni Ines, Director of Titleist Irons Development. &ldquo;We have more discretionary weight to play with on the AP2 because of its smaller chassis, which provided us the opportunity to place tungsten in the extreme perimeters of the club head. On average there are over 40 grams of tungsten in the long and mid irons (#3-7), which is around 20 percent of the total head weight. This efficient weighting produces high MOI in a tour-proven profile.&rdquo;MORE SOLID FEEL: Progressive CG not only helps flight the AP1 and AP2 irons properly, it also helps provide solid feel. The optimized CG heights are positioned closer to the point of impact, resulting in a larger sweet spot for a more solid feel on every shot.A new face support bar in the AP1 long irons further tunes face vibrations for improved feel at impact. With both models, increased face thickness in the short irons adds mass behind the ball for a more blade-like short iron feel.IMPROVED SOLE PROFILE: AP1 and AP2 irons feature a new pre-worn leading edge that reduces digging at the point of turf entry, and increased camber (more in the short irons) that helps control divot depth to allow a smooth entry and release from the turf for a more playable sole.An improved hosel-to-leading edge blend reduces the appearance of offset through both sets, while the AP2 8, 9 and P irons feature a reduced heel height for a more proportioned, compact profile.AP1 long irons feature a wider topline that adds confidence, while AP1 short irons have a slightly thinner topline and sole for a more playable, solid visual.Both AP1 and AP2 feature a satin polish playing position with bright polish cavity highlights for superior appearance at address. PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: The new Titleist AP1 and AP2 (714 Series) irons will be available in golf shops worldwide beginning Nov. 8. AP1 irons have a MAP of $100 per club (steel shaft) and $125 per club (graphite). AP2 irons have a MAP of $137.50 (steel) and $161 (graphite) per club.ON TOUR: Nearly 40 players on the worldwide professional tours have already switched to the new AP1 or AP2 models since the seeding and tour validation process began in late June at the PGA Tour&rsquo;s AT&amp;T National. At the John Deere Classic, just two weeks after the new models made their debut on tour, Jordan Spieth trusted the new AP2&rsquo;s to three-consecutive 65s and a maiden PGA Tour title.Less than a month later, Jason Dufner earned his first major title at the PGA Championship playing a new set of AP2 irons and, as one national golf magazine cover boasted, &ldquo;lots of precise iron shots.&rdquo; Dufner hit 54 of 72 greens in regulation at Oak Hill, which ranked third overall for the week.&ldquo;The new AP2&rsquo;s are really nice. The soles are better, the bounce is configured a little bit differently, and the feel is better,&rdquo; Dufner said. &ldquo;They just feel real solid through the strike, there&rsquo;s no turf grab with the leading edge and they&rsquo;re just going right through the turf really nice. They feel really solid all around, even if you catch one a little thin or a little heavy they still seem to hold their flight well.&rdquo;On the Web.com Tour, Peter Malnati also gamed a new set of AP2&rsquo;s in winning the News Sentinel Open, birdieing five of his last seven holes.Other players who have already put AP2 irons in their bags include: Ben Crane, Kevin Na, Brendon de Jonge, Jbe Kruger, Jason Bohn, Mark O&rsquo;Meara, Brad Faxon and Jay Haas. Ben Curtis switched to the new Titleist AP1 irons the first week they were available.NEW AP1 (714 SERIES) IRONS: FEATURES AND BENEFITSPRECISE FLIGHT with optimum launch, trajectory and distance.

The new 2014 models offer the same renowned quality and consistency that have become synonymous with any golf ball stamped &ldquo;Titleist.&rdquo;New NXT Tour and softer-feeling NXT Tour S provide exceptional distance and commanding short game scoring performance, exceeded only by Pro V1 and Pro V1x. Both new models have been improved with a reengineered softer compression core and cover so golfers will experience even softer feel.Titleist R&amp;D designed the 2014 Velocity with a reformulated, proprietary LSX core that produces a high initial ball speed for powerful distance. A new, spherically tiled 328 tetrahedral dimple design delivers a more penetrating trajectory with a shallower angle of descent for even more roll. The result is even more explosive distance on all full swing shots.New DT Solo has been redesigned to provide the best combination of soft feel and distance in a DT yet. With its super soft compression core and soft ionomer cover, the 2014 model features a new spherically tiled 376 tetrahedral dimple pattern that contributes to even longer driver and iron distance while retaining the distinctly soft feel and consistency that DT players have come to love and trust.&ldquo;When we make an improvement to a Titleist golf ball, it&rsquo;s in direct response to what golfers tell us they need and want,&rdquo; said Bill Morgan, Senior Vice President of Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re constantly in the field talking with golfers, capturing their launch conditions on all types of shots, and observing how different golf balls perform for their game. All of this information feeds the product development process and allows us to focus our design efforts and ultimately our prototype testing in ways that will enhance performance for these golfers.&rdquo;More than 40,000 golfers from around the world participated in the white-box testing and validation process, with golfers receiving prototype NXT Tour, NXT Tour S, Velocity or DT Solo golf balls for on-course evaluation.

New Velocity utilizes a reformulated, exclusive LSX core that produces a very fast ball speed, giving golfers explosive power off the tee and shorter approach shots into the green. A new, spherically tiled 328 tetrahedral dimple design with 7 different dimple sizes is highly symmetrical (three axes of symmetry) with a more uniform surface coverage. It delivers a more penetrating and soaring flight on all full swing shots for more precision and shallower angle of descent for more rollout.

<a href="http://a2ent.com/guteea/driver_1/index.html" rel="nofollow">taylormade golf burner 2.0</a> 2013-04-28It was only a matter of time before Billy Horschel claimed his first PGA Tour win. Little did he know he would have to endure two rain delays during the final round, including one of nearly an hour as he played the 18th hole clinging to a one-shot lead.But the additional wait only added to the drama as he returned to the 18th, where he drained a 27-foot birdie putt to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The win was his fourth top 10 in his last four events.He captured the title with a final-round 8-under 64 to win by a shot, tying the course record at TPC Louisiana. The winning putt on the 72nd hole was his ninth birdie of the day. He was 20-under on rounds of 67-71-66-64. His breakthrough win earned him a Masters invite and vaulted him to third in the FedExCup Points race.Horschel, 26, made his charge up the leaderboard starting at the seventh hole, where he began a string of six straight birdies (and seven of eight holes), tying the PGA Tour mark this season.But it was his long, clinching putt on the 18th green that brought out the emotion. He held his head in his hands, his face concealed by his PING hat. 鈥淚 was shaking a little. It all came out, I just let it go, I wanted to win so bad,鈥?said Horschel, who extended his PGA Tour-leading streak of consecutive cuts made to 23. 鈥淚鈥檝e been so close the last two weeks. The win is huge for me but it also means a lot to all the family and friends who鈥檝e supported me so much since I was little.鈥滺e relied on a G25 driver, G25 3-wood and 5-wood, S56 irons, Tour Gorge wedges, and a Redwood Piper putter. Horschel earned more than $1.1 million, bringing him to more than $2.5 million for the year and placing him third on the PGA Tour money list. 2012-01-22In only the third event of the PGA Tour season, Mark Wilson gave the i20 driver and irons their first wins. His two-shot victory at the Humana Challenge in La Quinta, Calif., was his fifth Tour title. He finished at 24 under (66-62-67-69).Wilson had two early wins to begin last season, so it wasn鈥檛 surprising to see the PING Pro leading after three rounds.  But his final round started slowly. He was 1-over through 10 holes, waiting for the kind of birdie run that propelled him to a 62 on the same Palmer Course two days earlier (there are three courses in the tournament rotation). When he birdied the 11th, then made another from the greenside bunker on the 12th, he had his momentum. With birdies on 16 and the home hole, he played the final eight holes in four under. Wilson earned $1,008,000 and is second on the FedExCup points list. He credits his fast start the past two seasons to the breaks he has taken during November and December. 鈥淚 can clear my mind of golf. I tend to remember the good things I did before and when I came out the last two years I just had a clear mind. It feels good to win.鈥?Wilson鈥檚 PING equipment includes an i20 driver (8.5潞), i15 hybrids (17潞 and 20潞), i20 irons 4-PW, Tour wedges (52潞 and 60潞), and a Karsten Anser putter.PING Pro Jeff Maggert made a final-round charge with an 8-under 64 to finish fifth at 21 under.

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. 2012-06-09Lee Westwood鈥檚 40th worldwide title came in convincing fashion with a five-stroke win at the Nordea Masters at the 7,607-yard Bro Hof Slott Golf Club in Stockholm, Sweden. The 39-year-old鈥檚 22nd European Tour win came after playing a new set of i20 irons and a new Nome 355 putter for the first time.鈥淚t feels really special winning here another time,鈥?Westwood said of the event he has won three times (he was champion in 1996 and 2000). 鈥淚鈥檝e won it in three decades now, which just shows how old we鈥檙e getting. I played really well this week. You don鈥檛 win tournaments by five shots without playing well.鈥漇tarting the final round three shots ahead, Westwood created more separation with an eagle at 12 and a birdie at 15, making pars the rest of the way. 鈥淚t didn鈥檛 look like I was hitting it close on the last three holes but I can tell you I hit it exactly where I wanted every time.鈥漌estwood relied on a bagful of PING technology: G10 driver (9潞), i15 3-wood (15.5潞), Rapture V2 5-wood, i20 irons (3-PW), Tour W wedges (54潞, 58潞), and a Nome putter (35鈥?. <a href="http://a2ent.com/guteea/driver_1/index.html" rel="nofollow">taylormade r11 3 wood</a>  
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. Custom up-charges may apply.FEATURES AND BENEFITS:&bull; IMPROVED LONG IRON product for the high speed, traditional blade iron player.&bull; DISTANCE WITH CONTROL from the forged, hollow body construction with a high-speed steel face insert.&bull; INCREASED STABILITY versus traditional blade irons from the deep CG that provides a higher MOI.&bull; IMPROVED GROUND INTERACTION from the camber sole design that accommodates various attack angles.&bull; PREFERRED LOOKS AND FEEL from the traditional profile, rounded back design and forged construction.PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:712U 2-iron:&bull; Loft: 18&ordm;&bull; Lie: 59.5&ordm;&bull; Offset: 0.170'&bull; Bounce: 0&ordm;&bull; Stnd Length: 39.50'&bull; Swingweight: D3712U 3-iron:&bull; Loft: 21&ordm;&bull; Lie: 60.5&ordm;&bull; Offset: 0.160'&bull; Bounce: 0&ordm;&bull; Stnd Length: 39.00'&bull; Swingweight: D3712U 4-iron:&bull; Loft: 24&ordm;&bull; Lie: 61.5&ordm;&bull; Offset: 0.150'&bull; Bounce: 0&ordm;&bull; Stnd Length: 38.50'&bull; Swingweight: D3 Posted: February 12, 2013                            FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Jan. 24, 2013) &ndash; Personalization meets performance with Master Craftsman Bob Vokey&rsquo;s newest addition to the WedgeWorks Exclusives lineup, the Titleist Vokey Design TVD-K.The Vokey TVD-K, available this March through WedgeWorks on Vokey.com, is the result of Vokey&rsquo;s recent work with PGA Tour players such as Adam Scott, Jason Dufner and Ben Crane to develop a sole that is playable in a variety of conditions.TVD (&ldquo;Tour Van Design&rdquo;) models are built with the same unparalleled craftsmanship and technology that have made Titleist Vokey Design wedges the #1 wedge on the PGA Tour since 2004 and the most played wedge at every level of competitive golf.Vokey TVD-K wedges are available in three loft/bounce combinations (56.12&ordm;, 58.10&ordm; and 60.10&ordm;) and two new finishes (California Chrome and Graphite Ion), to go along with all of the personalization options available through WedgeWorks.  The TVD-K 56&ordm; features a wider, more cambered sole than any of the sand wedges available in the Vokey Design SM4 lineup. The wider sole makes the TVD-K 56&ordm; a very playable club from the bunker. The 58&ordm; and 60&ordm; TVD-K models feature a full sole with higher bounce, suitable for neutral to digger swing types in a variety of conditions.All WedgeWorks TVD models (TVD-M and TVD-K) feature the maximum-performing Vokey SM4 grooves, featuring 100-percent inspected, tight tolerance, aggressive groove edges at the limits allowed by the Rules of Golf.&ldquo;The TVD-K is the evolution of the TK grind that we had on tour and as a limited release in WedgeWorks,&rdquo; Vokey said. &ldquo;It has a wider sole, with more camber. It has enough bounce to be very forgiving out of the bunkers but still allows shotmaking around the greens. It&rsquo;s been popular with a lot of guys I&rsquo;ve worked with on Tour including Adam, Jason and Ben.&rdquo;Every wedge in the Exclusives line is fully customizable and built by Vokey and his team in Carlsbad, Calif. WedgeWorks gives golfers the opportunity to craft wedges that fit both their game and personality &ndash; from length, lie and loft, to toe engraving, personalized stamping, paintfill, grips, shafts, ferrules and shaftbands.&ldquo;WedgeWorks has been a dream come true for me,&rdquo; said Vokey. &ldquo;For the first time we have Tour, R&amp;D and Custom in one place. We take our influence from the Tour and try to constantly improve by offering more custom features and options to the wedge enthusiast.&rdquo;LOFT/BOUNCE COMBINATIONS: Vokey TVD-K wedges are available in three loft/bounce combinations: 56.12&ordm;, 58.10&ordm; and 60.10&ordm;. Available in both RH and LH.NEW FINISHES: TVD-K models feature two exclusive finishes, the plated California Chrome or the unplated Graphite Ion (pictured).PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: Vokey WedgeWorks Exclusives TVD-K wedges will be available in March through WedgeWorks on Vokey.com or by custom order, with a suggested retail price of $160 plus personalization packages.

<a href="http://a2ent.com/guteea/driver_1/index.html" rel="nofollow">taylormade golf burner 2.0</a> 2012-02-26Hunter Mahan agreed with the assessment of his caddie, John Wood, who felt it was the best Mahan has ever played over an entire tournament. His opponents would have a hard time arguing. Mahan won the prestigious WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship with a 2&amp;1 victory in the finals at the 7,833-yard Ritz-Carlton Golf Club outside Tucson, Ariz. Three of the four top finishers were PING pros, as Mark Wilson defeated Lee Westwood in the consolation match, 1 up. Mahan never trailed in the finals, where he made seven of his 35 birdies for the week. Starting with the 6th, he won four out of five holes to build a 4-up lead after 10. The performance was typical of his dominating week -- he went his last 74 holes without falling behind in a match. He was consistently superb on the greens, and in interviews he repeatedly gave credit to the new mallet-style Nome. On Monday of the Match Play, an alignment session on the putting green using a laser device showed he was aiming left of the hole. With the face-balanced Nome, he aimed squarely at the hole and made putts. After a nine-hole practice round, the Nome went in his bag. 鈥淚 made a putter switch to the PING Nome and it felt great on the greens immediately,鈥?Mahan said of his fourth career win, which elevated him to a career-best 9th in the Official World Golf Ranking. 鈥淭his win gives me a lot of confidence. That鈥檚 how you separate the great players from everyone else 鈥?with wins 鈥?especially at the big events, and it doesn鈥檛 get much bigger than this, except the majors. So this is really special.鈥滻n addition to the Nome putter, Mahan carried a G20 driver (9.5潞), G20 3-wood (15潞), i15 hybrid (17潞), S56 irons, and Anser forged wedges (56潞, 60潞). Across the world in Singapore, Angela Stanford fired a tournament-low 6-under 66 in the opening round, then won her fifth LPGA title on the third hole of sudden death at the HSBC Women鈥檚 Champions. She relied on an i20 driver and irons.Stanford also utilized a G20 3-wood (15潞), G15 7-wood (21.5 潞), G20 hybrid (23潞), Tour S wedges (47潞, 52潞, 60潞, 60潞TS), and a Scottsdale Series Anser 2 putter. 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.
