    Along with your fabulous Golf knowledge and passion for the game people genuinely warm to you which in return offers all us access to facilities such as this resulting in entertaining, interesting and informative videos.....Thankyou. I have personally gamed Titleist Balls for nearly 50 years and have always been more than satisfied on their ability to consistently deliver an outstanding product.

    Thanks Iona! That has been one of the most fun and informative videos ever.
    Really enjoyed "going behind the curtain" and seeing the boffins playing with their toys and turning raw materials into balls with all sorts of different characteristics, feels and sounds.
    You really are so blessed to have these wonderful opportunities, but richly deserved and thanks for sharing the process with us.

    Wow! I’ve seen a few videos on how a golf ball is made, but this one is just incredible! Iona has done it again-what a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at the best ball in golf. She managed to break through the very polite and corporate vibe of the Titleist team with her signature Scottish charm (and by cheekily swiping the divot repair tool 😜). It’s no wonder she’s so loved by everyone there!
    The Titleist ProV1 is definitely my ball of choice this season, and I’ll be keeping the Left Dash handy for those windy days. Thank you so much for this amazing video-it’s an absolute treat! I’m already counting down the days until your next one. Keep up the amazing work, Iona!

    Very interesting Iona really great content unbelievable what small nuances go into the manufacture of a golf ball loved watching my game is generally about feel and I love a softer golf ball generally they feel great off the face of the driver nice and soft off the wedges and most important soft and quiet off the putter face enjoyed the video Iona keep up the good work x

    I agree, Bruce is indeed hypnotic!😊. Fascinating…what an awesome job these people have! I’ve been ProV1 for decades; from time to time I try the V1x, and other brands but I keep coming back. Performance, feel, sound, the complete package.❤

    Another enthralling watch, every time you do a technical subject I think I'll just watch the first 5 minutes, and you manage to be so enthusiastic about the process that I've watched the whole video, and time has stood still. My choice on sound would be the red ball. Cheers.

  • @nicolajohnson5102
    @nicolajohnson5102 7 днів тому

    What a video - that was absolutely brilliant, the reflection at the end that golf is a game was just lovely, your an inspiration, keep it going. I've used Titleist balls for ages, just got a set of (albeit refurbished) Pro V 1 and they are lovely to hit, I haven't checked if there are any Pro V1 x in there but I will, with a handicap in the mid 20's sadly I don't get to keep my golf balls very long but I must do a wee bit of testing next time I'm out. Thanks for another cracking video.

  • @edmundusgysbers2190
    @edmundusgysbers2190 8 днів тому

    Hi Iona. Wonderful video, wonderful people. My personal opinion is, that Titleist is by far the best felt club and ball producer. Still love my 718 AP2. Thanks to you for the interesting documentations you deliver over the past month and years. Regards out of snowy Romania…

    @PaulieWasHere7 7 днів тому

    Excellent content. Very informative. I like the sound of the golf ball as well. Much like the sound of a voice that is pleasant to the ears. It's interesting when you move from brand to brand like Titleist to Taylormade and compare Pro V1 to the TP5 and the X version, etc. That is another video perhaps. I play Pro V1 in the winter here in Scottsdale, AZ, and the Pro V1x in the hot summer. 🔥

I have had a L5S1 surgery and it’s been 4 months and I hope to get out there in March to test the new balls and get fit for all new titliest wedges. You have an amazing golf swing.

    Great content again Iona, really enjoyed that found it very interesting. It must have been a great experience doing the tour and the ball testing for Titleist. I think Pro v1x would probably be the ball I would like too, just for the extra height you get but would definitely have to test them out to confirm that decision

    I don't know about other companies, but Titliest seems like the people really love what they're doing. And this impression goes all the way back to the 80's for me. In 1988, I was in the Coast Guard. My ships home port was New Bedford. I had suggested to our moral officer that they should contact Titleist about getting some equipment, direct from the factory. We thought they were going to just give us a deal on clubs. Instead, they gave us two sets of brand new clubs, and a couple of dozen white box balls. Everyone in this video took me right back to that day we picked up the clubs.

    What a fantastic honor for all the staff at Titleist. Great Video.informative and entertaining.
    I too am greatly effected by the feel of the ball.
    I prefer a softer feel when it comes to chipping putting. With putting I like a dull muted click and the feel of it almost bouncing off the face
    If you could have a ball that is high compression but feels like a low compression ball like a Callaway "Supersoft" I'd be filling my bag pockets full of those. I personally don't like the feel of ProV1s. I did play some illegal "MG seniors" recently which I liked but they are illegal because they come off the club face at too higher velocity

  • @garytownley8834
    @garytownley8834 День тому

    Brilliant insight and I was lucky enough a while ago to get a white box and send feedback. So prov v x is slightly higher flight interesting may have to change to pro v then as I use x and hit the ball high. Interesting about trying balls round the green etc. True comment Iona we do take them for granted and visit to test facility defo on the bucket list. Thanks again for the video and also to Titleist.

    I love how teccie golf balls are but at the same time old school geeky! 🙌🙌🙌

    @nevercompromise6339 9 днів тому

    Great content as usual Iona. It was very interesting to see all that goes in to improving what is after all an iconic product, and market leader. I think Titleist are lucky, or probably shrewd, to have you as an ambassador, as not everyone could make ball construction and testing interesting. If I could be so bold to say, there seems to have been a massive improvement in your putting posture since you went to the Scotty Putting Barn, probably exactly what Brad Faxon wanted to see. Thank you for increasing my knowledge.
