The three-piece Tour Speed and two-piece Tour Soft both use a quadrilateral dipyramid dimple pattern, which creates a penetrating flight. Plus, they are priced significantly less than the premium Pro V1, or Pro V1x models, which are targeted for lower handicap players. The Tour Speed has a soft feel, and the Tour Soft is even softer. Both fall in the mid-trajectory category with low spin for the longer clubs and medium spin rates with short clubs. If you tend to have a slower than average swing speed, or tend to lose a bunch of golf balls, these may be perfect for your game. The basic choice would appear for those not choosing to use the more expensive, but popular Pro V1 and Pro V1x, but still want to use a Titleist ball. Tour Speed’s, urethane cover provides added control around the greens with a higher ball flight than the Tour Soft. The Tour Soft will work better for golfers with slower swing speeds and is considered a distance category ball. Titleist is the leader in golf ball technology and manufacture. These new golf balls should help them maintain their superiority. Ohio Golf Journal
