Titleist Tour Speed golf ball review: NCG verdict
I tested the Titleist Tour Speed by collecting shot analysis data on Trackman with my driver, 7 iron and on a 60-yard pitch shot. I was excited to try a ball that could give me extra distance and still have control on shorter shots.
As soon as I hit the Tour Speed I could feel the springiness off the face, especially on my longer shots. At the same time I felt that it still had a soft feel and was able to move the ball fairly easily from left to right or right to left and perform well.
Comparing the Titleist Tour Speed to my regular Pro V1x golf ball I was getting on average 10 yards extra carry distance with a 7-iron and almost 15 yards with a driver. However, I was getting up to 10 yards of roll out on my 60-yard pitch with lower spin rates than with my regular ball. This was a little disappointing as I felt I was going to still have some control around the greens with the softer feel.
