Charles - Thanks for the post.  I had a similar reaction to you.  However, as is usually the case for me, I have a hard time differentiating within the Titleist brand when I do a comparison but I had no problem what so ever ranking the prototype ball as superior to the cally, swoosh and Brigestone "tour" caliber balls I compared it against.  

I have been fortunate to receive the prototypes 4 of last 6 years.  My question to Charles is, do you think Titleist used the

Pink Pro V1 as a comparative test ball using black numbers and the grey test AIM line on the test ball? I bought a dozen of the Pink

Pro V's to use last winter and found them to play wonderfully. Took me back to the days of Titleist Balata 90 and Tour 100's when I

was more competitive at outside tourneys.

Happy Fairways and Greens!

I received some also. They feel like the ProV1x's but I seemed to have better control and a little more distance. I love them. Hope they are what I think they are!!!!!

The biggest difference I noticed was with full wedges and short irons. The ball really compressed and I believe was at least 10 yards longer. 

For those who have done this before -- did Titleist disclose what the prototype is?  How & when?  The biggest difference I noticed was more driver distance & hang time with the proto as compared to my regular ball, v1x.
