It features an innovative thermoplastic urethane cover that ensures remarkable speed and impressive flight. Fairway Woods: Very similar to the Driver, good solid feel off the club face, which produced a nice penetrating ball flight. Distance was slightly above average (~5yds) more than the QST. In contrast, the AVX utilizes an innovative high-speed, low-compression core technology. This provides a soft feel while still maximizing distance. The AVX uses a three-piece thermoset urethane cover technology, giving the ball a softer feel and lower spin rate. There wee times i tried to draw into a pin placement, the BX turned over where i figged it would, the TS moved about half as much. Durability: Overall this ball held up fairly well for me. I did not see the scuffing issues off the wedges that some had reported. I did introduce it to several trees over the course of the testing and it seemed to be no worse for the wear. Overall wear during the course of play the cover held up as one would expect. No cuts, gouges or scuffs.

Before any launch monitor testing, I played the Titleist Tour Speed for a couple rounds at Eagle Ridge. These were my first rounds in over a month because I was sidelined by a wrist injury. Knowing that my wrist was weak and that my swing was rusty, I tempered my distance expectations off the tee. But then I was flying over my expected landing zones and hitting drives that met my normal expectations. Could the Tour Speed really be faster than my normal golf balls? I am a 12 capper–have played all three- and rather enjoy my experience with the Tour Speed which will be my ball until I become a lower single digit handicap. Off the tee, I gained an extra 2 mph of ball speed over the previous generation of Tour Speed and yet the new version spun a fraction less. This translated into a fairly modest but noticeable 3-yard gain in carry and total distance. Interestingly, the new Tour Speed launched and flew a fraction higher than the previous version. I spent some time hitting shots into the par 3 13th hole at Denton GC and found that all four balls were very similar in terms of distance. Driver: The performance off the Driver was very consistent. Distance wise, for me was comparable to the Q-Star Tour, Nice penetrating ball flight that held it’s line. To me it felt a little firmer then the QST but not terrible.What about the Titleist Tour Speed vs the Titleist Velocity ball? Both have great distance. The Velocity is better for speed, has a softer feel, and the 350 octahedral dimple pattern will give you a higher trajectory. Read More: The Best Titleist Golf Balls Why You Should Trust Us

One of the most notable features of the Titleist Tour Speed is its ability to generate significant distance off the tee. My experience with the ball has shown that it’s high-speed core and thermoplastic urethane cover work together to produce faster ball speeds and lower long-game spin, resulting in increased distance across various swing speeds.None of the balls tested fell below the USGA’s minimum size requirement. However, a single ball in the sample failed to meet our standard for roundness. Accordingly, it was flagged as bad. Inspection Centeredness and Concentricity I think for the remaining testing it may be more accurate to use on – course data and compare it to my Arccos data to see true distance with driver. If the skytrak data is helpful, please let me know what else you would like to see!! However, you might want to consider other options if you prioritize maximum greenside spin or prefer a softer feel. Our Verdict Ionomer is the cover material of choice for two-piece golf balls. It’s also used in the casing/mantle layers of three-, four- and five-layer options. The bottom line is there’s a lot of overlap industry-wide with suppliers, those suppliers are spread thin and, much as you might like to, you can’t make a golf ball without ionomer. The advanced aerodynamics of the Tour Speed provide greater control over ball flight, allowing golfers to shape shots and execute a wide range of shots with confidence. Impressive Distance and Speed Without Sacrificing Control

I hit 10 of 14 fairways with he Tour Speed, but i hit all 4 of the par fours with it. When i mossed the green on holes, i was usually short sided, so i could bump it into the green side and it would hope like i wanted. The ball held up well.My drives were just as long as my gamers (AVX/ProV1), if not slightly longer. As an aging mid-handicapper (11-12) playing with single-digit guys from the tees that are probably too long for me (6700-6800 yards), I usually hit a hybrid or a long iron into the green on more holes than I should. The ball performed well there, flying slightly higher than the AVX, and with consistent distances.
