    Did you shoot your lowest score ever? Win your weekend roll up? Break 80 for the first time? Make a hole-in-one? Get up-and-down from a seemingly impossible lie? Are you considering a change from another brand to Titleist based on their performance?

    We'd love to hear about your experiences and success stories while playing the New NXT Tour, NXT Tour S, Velocity or DT SoLo golf balls that we sent you recently. Even if you haven't yet shot out the lights, we would still appreciate your feedback on how the new golf balls played.

    So feel free to share your experiences and thoughts. We're looking forward to reading them!

    Thanks

    hi received 2 velocity and dt balls this morning.Pleasent suprise thankyou. i took the velocity out and was very impressed with the explosion of the driver face (partners line). they felt solid and for me appeared to go truer and further than my usual dt solo's. However with irons i was 10-20 yds shorter due to higher flight, obviously that can be sorted at the range. Playing again Saturday and will try the new dt solo you sent. many thanks again Ian
  3. Thank you Titleist, these samples were the best. I can't wait until the velocity balls are released. I used to play the old dt solo's but I will be switching to the velocity balls when they come out. Thank you Team Titleist

    I found the Velocity balls gave me atleast 5 yards on the dt solo balls every time and where almost as controllable, however for control and spin i preferred the dt solo's! i shot a decent round, a shot below my handicap and i think after using each ball for 9 holes i really did prefer the velocity ball overall as i am not really a player who struglles for control but could do with a few yards! thankyou for the free test balls, they are top quality!

    Hi I have just tried the new NXT Tour ball and reckon its given me an extra 10 yards plus it feels a loft softer than the 2010 model which I have been using for the last 12 months or so. Its certainly a ball I will be using.

    Neil,

    Thank you Titleist for the free samples,As I always use NXT balls, I played at the weekend, 18/02/12, quite chilly and cold, and used  your new Velocity ball, it performed very well in the conditions, would like to say the same about my game, but can't, no scuffs or cut marks. Had a good feel off the club head, and worked well with my short game, also the ball felt good off the putter head as well.

    Will try out the NXT during this week and will share findings.

     

     

  8. Tried the NXT Tour and Velocity on the practice range and putting green today. Allowing for my 11 handicap level of consistency,the velocity travelled a bit further than the NXT Tour but felt a little harder. Neither seemed to be affect by side spin. Against other brands the grouping was closer than most. On and around the green I much preferred the feel of the NXT Tour. - Geoff
  9. Got my NXT Tour & NXT Tour S balls, love the NXT Tour S balls, it's like having a Pro V1 for my handicap & swing speed, I'm a 16 year old girl with a 20 handicap & was all set for a different Tour ball suited to my swing speed but I think the NXT Tour S will be replacing that ball, felt great off the clubface & for short game was awesome. One ball did scuff a bit but the other was fine. The NXT Tour ball was good & did go a little further but for me its the NXT Tour S ball.

    Hi I have just tried the NXT Tour ball which I found to be a good 5/10 yards longer than the 2010 model and it felt softer off the face especially with the irons.

    I will certainly be trying these over the coming months.

    Regards

    Hi Neil, tried both Velocity and DT Solo balls at my home course and found the Velocity ball very much comparable to any other ball I have used for winter golf. Softish feel but long and straight. The DT Solo ball I would say is more suited for the middle to high handicap player. Now that im getting back into golf more this spring I hope to get my handicap back down and I will be trying the new NXT Tour and NXT Tour S.

    Played the Velocity today. Temperature was only 4C. The immediate thing I noticed was the additional height the flight of the ball got. 3 iron off the tee but the flight was more like a 5 or 6 iron. This remained a consistent feature throughout. Along with this came extra yards never less than 5 yards but when struck pure gave 15 to 20 off a 3 iron. In and around the greens, ball felt soft and stopping was good. Overall I was very impressed with this ball. I haven't tried the new NXT Tour yet but at the moment the Velocity could easily become my new favourite ball.

     I will get the NXT Tour in play next week, if it's anything near as good as the Velocity, I can't wait to try it.

    Many thanks Titleist for the opportunity to try these new balls. I am normally a bit conservative and reluctant to try new balls, but I am stunned by these.

     

    Regards

    Firstly, thanks for sending me the samples of the new DT Solo and Velocity balls.  Really nice Friday surprise!!

    Today was my first round this month, so the game was a bit rusty.  I started off using the new DT Solo, really like the fact that the AIM markings are now black, just makes the ball look a bit classier.  Same great feel and distance as the previous model, the greens are very soft at the moment so I quite often found the ball near it's pitch mark.  I hit a couple of chip and run shots and ball behaved excactly as I expected it to.  The DT felt very solid off the putter ( Insert putter ) and I had a good control of distance.

    Next up was the Velocity, the orange numbers really mark this ball out as something different, although as with the DT the AIM is black, which looks classic when putting.  I really did notice this ball flying a few yards further than the DT Solo, a couple of times I was just off the back edge of the green on approach shots.  With the driver I didn't really catch a good one, although the ball was always further than my misses would normally be, and not as wide either.  I nearly holed a couple of chips with the Velocity, so I didn't feel as if lost anything in the short game, again the ball felt nice and solid with the putter.

    I think it's fair to say that I could easily put either ball into play on a regular basis.  The DT Solo is a very solid ball that I may well start the year with.  It offers a nice balance of low spin off the longer irons and a bit more spin with the scoring irons, but not too much to make my misses too bad.  If I was playing a longer course I may well choose the Velocity for the extra yards I gained, although i'd probably have to alter the clubs i'm used to using into the greens.

    Thanks again Titleist.

    Loved the feel of the NXT Tour S.

    Very soft feel for the short game, and the spin generated on mid and short irons was great.

    Certainly felt better than my current NXT Tour's

    I was very pleasantly surprised to receive the new golf balls and wasted no time in trying them out in my regular Saturday 4 ball. I can honestly say I found both the new Solo and Velocity balls excellent in all parts of my game. In particular they flew faster off the club face and I was getting height and distance from them as well. I can't really judge them in putting as our greens are not up to standard yet but they felt solid in the strike. I really liked using them both and will seriously consider purchasing these later in the year when my current stock of AD333  is depleted. My partner tried the Velocity as well and declared a liking for the ball and great satisfaction with the ball's capabilities and results. By the way we won on the 18th.

    Thankyou for the NXT Tour & Velocity golf balls. Was very impressed with the performance of the NXT Tour ball.I am a 19 handicap player in the 70's (age wise)and play 2/3 times a week.It was great to find my drives were up with or past my playing partners, who were younger, the ball had a great feel and the durability is welcome. One of the few times I have completed a round without putting a 'smile' on the golf ball. Definitely a fan and user for the future. The Velocity ball I loaned to two of the lower handicappers in the competition - Keith (7) & Mike (12) and have not yet tried it myself but felt it may be more suited to their faster swing speeds.Both very impressed and stated good feel. which helped confidence, improved distance & playability. On a scale of 1 to 10, they both rated it 9. (Perhaps I was too generous to the lads - Keith (7) played so well with the Velocity that he won the money!) Norman Maton

    played a round today with the new nxt tour didn't notice any discernible distance gain but had my best putting day in a while and drove the ball really well! don't know if this was the ball but it felt really nice off the face and promoted a positive stroke, ergo more puts holed. I'll definitely be making the switch

    Thanks for the sample balls, it was a very nice surprise! Played with a Velocity on Saturday and I really like the feel of the ball, and I was hitting it long and straight (mostly). I did find that it scuffed quite quickly, although that might just be down to the bad winter conditions we have. I'll try out the SoLo on my next round!

    Hi Titleist

    Tried the new Velocity ball in cold, wet and windy conditions today. The Velocity gave me 15 to 20 yards extra off the tee on soft ground so I was very impressed. I found the the new DT solo better for me in these playing condition particularly for my mid to short iron play where the soft feel really made the course easier to play. I will be looking forward to testing both the new balls in warmer weather. I expect that the new Velocity will be my ball of choice as the extra yardage will rove significant. 

     

    regards Des

  21. Thanks for the free balls.I played the velocity on saturday and sunday.As yet i havent tried the dt solo,keeping that for this weekend.The weather this weekend was hail and snow showers,that should give you an idea how cold it was.The velocity was at least 20 to 30 yards longer than my srixon soft/feel.My drives were plugging,but still carrying the distance i drive in the summer.I cant comment on the short game,as the greens were sodden and naturally stopping.Looking forward to next week already.

    Hi Titleist, Played the last three days running with the NXT Tour and Velocity, approx 27 for each. Found that the NXT Tour was good but has already scuffed up and couldn't use anymore (found a lot of bunkers though). However the Velocity was excellent, great for distance and very receptive for the short shots with lots of backspin / good for putting too they also didn't scuff either so still usable. Shot 78 today and it was windy and cold (7 over par) could have been much better but can't blame the ball just the person on the end of the sticks.
