Titleist's new balls on all models comes out every two years. If you purchase from Titleist itself or to any authorized Titleist dealers on the loyalty program (buy three doz. get the fourth free), you can be 100% sure that you are purchasing and receiving the newest model ball.

The alignment aid/mark on the most recent Titleist ball design will have too long arrowHEADs on either side of the ball model name, eg. ProV 1x . The arrowheads will be gray with a fine black outline. There will be no line to the arrows, only long, extended arrowheads.

The arrowheads on the 2017/18 (previous) model would be solid black. No outline.

The next iteration on Pro Vs is not due out until early in 2021. I don't follow the Velocity releases, so couldn't be sure about their schedule.

Until the new models are released these are the current boxes.

Prov1 are in a black and gold version of the silver box.

Go to the Golf Ball section on the Titleist website and you will always find the latest ball models displayed. Select the ball you are looking for, the arrows and model on the side are what the current line of ball look like.

Also worth considering are the really good deals on previous model year balls, ideal when playing numerous practice rounds.

Its funny how you can go to a lesser focused on golf sports big box store and they'll have some older versions and sell them to customers. Ive even have had the take older sleeves and put them in the new box. My advice would be buy right from titleist, or go to a golf shop or dealer you trust where you can talk to a person you know and be sure you're getting the current version!

The Velocity visi-white is only available in the current edition (new in 2018). However, Velocity is due for an update that should be released as part of the PGA Show in 3 weeks (2020 version). The Pro's were released in January (2019) and shouldn't be updated until the PGA show in 2021.

I plan on being at the show in Orlando, January 21st if my teaching pro is able to get off work. Our head pro is supposed to go to be recognized for his work with the youth in the Charleston area, again. One of the top 50 in the US. Really enjoyed it last year looking at all the new releases in the golf industry. Miles and miles of walking both outside and inside. Then we drove down to Tampa to play at Innisbrook. Back/leg are feeling better and hope they hold up for the cruise this week and then the trip to Orlando. See what the Acushnet family has instore for us in 2020.
