Which Titleist Golf Ball is Best For You?
There are so many factors that can affect one's golf game, from natural factors such as the wind, to the type of equipment, such as clubs, and just how much skill you have. Even something as small as the golf ball can change your game. Balls are made from different materials, with different types of cores and outer layers. Even the number of dimples can have an impact. One of the premier makers of golf balls is Titleist. An American company, Titleist has been making golf balls since 1932 so they know their product and have designed them to be some of the most popular among both professional and amateur golfers alike. Titleist golf balls were played first in the 1940's at the US Open and are considered a favorite for many of the top golf tours around the world. Essentially if you are going to golf, golf Titleist.
Currently, Titleist has six different models of golf balls. The DT Carry is a newer ball that is designed to go the distance by giving the ability for a higher flight and also greater roll to carry your shots even further. It has an innovative design with 252 dimples and a core that is soft and quite large.
The DT Roll is another new ball from Titleist that is created for one specific purpose. As the name suggests, it is designed to give greater roll on your shots as it offers a trajectory that is lower to provide even longer distances than with your average ball. It also has a soft core, but one that is more resilient than the Carry. It also has almost 400 dimples. Since both the DT Roll and the DT Carry are used for increasing distance, it really depends on your preference and skill as well as the conditions of the course.
If you are looking for a ball that will grow with you as your skill improves, the Titleist NXT models are for you. The Titleist NXT Tour has an inner and outer core designed to provide great performance and feel combined with great distances. The Titleist Tour also works well on both the long driver and iron shots as well as on the green.
The NXT Extreme is meant to be used for long distances as well as great handling on the greens. It is designed to give more consistency in your game and is very durable. In fact, Titleist states if the Extreme is damaged during regular play, it will replace it with three new balls.
The Titleist Pro V1 has been newly redesigned since Titleist got into a bit of a patent legal issue with a competitor, but since the Pro was release almost 10 years ago, it has been a favorite among many professionals. It has been given a new facelift and now offers longer distances, and is more durable than its predecessor. Its cousin, the Pro V1x was also redesigned. The V1x differs from the V1 in that it has a four layer core while the latter has three.
