It is the most recognisable golf ball in golf and over 2/3rds of the field (69%) trusted a Titleist golf ball model.
Scottie Scheffler was one of the 69% and he chooses to play the Titleist Pro V1 – he seems to have it on a rope at the moment and though there are no guarantees it will do the same for you, there is no doubt it is recognised as a ball that can benefit all golfers – not just the low handicappers.
