    I received mine late last week and have played 4 rounds now with the prototypes.  I've played with both the Pro V's and the Pro v1x for years and these are wonderful additions to the Titleist line.  I've hit some of the best shots, ever, in the past week and if Titleist has any of these left over, I'll be more than happy to pick up whatever you have lying around.

      I live in Eastern North Carolina and this past Sunday a weather front spun up several tornadoes in our area.  We played in winds gusting up to 35 mph and this ball (circle designation) was nothing short of amazing.  I was able to flight the ball with no problem, length and control never an issue.  My playing partner played the "square" ball with similar results.  I will, without question, be playing this product should you bring it to store shelves.  Looking forward to completing the survey and thank you for the chance to experience this great product.

    The square balls definitely better for me, I have a SS of 105 and I believe these are the new X.

    I found out about this blog from a friend of mine, and he recieved the circle/square balls as well, he took the circles, and gave me the squares.  I usually play srxn Q stars and the square ones hit incredible compared to my usual.  Let me preface my review by saying Im not good by any means, Im just a weekend warrior on the course so my review isnt as comprehensive as some of you but for a "average joe" player I was amazed at how much control around the green I had with them. 

    I hit my Driver probably 10-15 yards further, and with my 3 wood from 190 yards hit the back of the green and rolled back to the pin.  I though the first time it did it was a fluke, but I did it again with another 3 wood shot, and then a 9 iron it did the same thing.  I am impressed to say the least.  Definately hope they put these in production because I will be playing these from now on!

    But... The design of the test is for the individual to play both sets of balls (circles and squares) and objectively assess the comparative performance between them. If you played one set and the other individual played the other set then you've basically undermined the nature of the underlying test design. By just playing one set of balls, how can you (or he) objectively state which ball is better (whether on an overall basis or on individual attributes); which, I would guess is the primary reason Titleist spends megabucks on this type of research? Probably would have been better if you had taken one or two of each set. Note: I don't work for Titleist but I do design and analyze consumer research testing for a major (non-sports) consumer products company.

    After playing a couple holes and getting into a groove with these test balls my playing partner and I both came to the same conclusion, these felt and played like the Pro V1 and 1'x. One ball certainly felt harder than the other, but both flew long, controlled and spun nicely when called upon. We both came away from a round playing the balls side by side, and noticed they still looked new. No scuffs or abrasions to be found. Whatever formula Titleist came up with for the covers is working well. Keep the quality coming!!

    Yesterday I came to the conclusion that the Square ball is longer than the circle. Both were about the same for the short game, chipping, pitching and bunker play. My driver average is around 225 and I hit some drives with the square ball 250. Now we are talking. I would definitely play the square ball if I knew what it was.
  7. I agree the square ball would fit my game a lot better than the circle.

    The testing continues as the warmer weather is settling in.  I used the square ball yesterday and it performed well all day. Love the feel and flight of the ball.  Shot a -3 (68) and had a couple of bogies.  Will tee up the circle today to see if I can duplicate that round.

    I received mine about three weeks ago. They resemble the PRO V1 and 1x

    I found the square one is the hardest of the two Averaged an extra 30 to 40 yards on the drive. This ball was to hard for the green not a lot of action

    I found the round dot was like the old Balata ball. This ball has a lot of action on the green actually felt it lost a little yardage on the drive

    Played 18 rotating square, circle, and TM Lethal. Off the putter circle softest, followed by square, and last was Lethal. Durability on both Titleist balls was better than Lethal but kept everything in the fairway and did not find any trees or cart paths. Circle seemed to have best green side control. The day was windy so difficult to gage distance differences. Will be playing 18 tomorrow and can hopefully update the report. I am curious to see differences in spin off the tee.

    Do you have to rub it in, -3? WOW, wish I could do that.

    I just got mine in today actually. I wonder if we will ever find out which shape goes with which ball after the testing period? I have always told myself that I like the Prov1x better but after testing these that might change to the Prov1. Truly blind comparison.
