Titleist Tour Speed-ready to up your game.

TITLEIST IS ready to up your game as the northern golf season begins.

Because with the addition of two new new golf balls, your choices from the #1 ball in golf have never been better.

TOUR SPEED has been on the market for two years. It was launched with a high performance multilayer Urethane cover.

But now the reformulated core delivers high speed, and with a high flex casing layer that helps maintain a long game spin.

“The key to the development process was successfully reformulating the core and high-flex casing layer to perform in conjunction with the proprietary Titleist Performance Urethane (TPU) cover to our stringent quality tolerances, so the golf ball performs consistently on every shot.,” said Frederick Waddell, Director of Product Management.

Tour Speed has a 346 quadrilateral dipyramid Dimple Design. MAP is $40.00 Tour Speed is now available in the USA in White #1-4. But Yellow #1-4 is June 20th. Global markets starting June 20th. Titleist.com.

TOUR SOFT GOLF BALL is back in the third generation, with a response to golfer feedback with a new aerodynamic design, to create more distance off the tee.

The Titleist Tour Soft golf ball.

“The Tour Soft golfer prioritizes feel and seeks the softest possible, but they are also looking for an all around performance,” says Jeremy Stone, Vice performance,” said Jeremy Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing. “The new Tour Soft has been reengineered for improved performance tee through green.”

So with a 1.600 Tour Soft remains one of the largest core sizes in the Titleist golf ball portfolio. But with the same soft compression of the current generation. A core this size requires an extremely thin cover.

But while the 346 dimple pattern was not in the planning for Tour Soft, but after serious testing the 346 quadrilateral dipyramid ended up being the best,” Mike Madson, Senior Director of Research and Engineering. As a result, Tour Soft will have a lower ball flight.

Price will be $35 per dozen MAP. Tour Soft White is now available in pro shops, in both white and yellow # 1-4. So for more information please visit Titleist.com.
