For our Titleist Golf Ball R&D team, the goal is always the same: Design and develop the most consistent and best performing golf balls to help golfers shoot lower scores. It's a process focused on continuous improvement, fostered by many talented individuals working tirelessly behind the scenes. This is what it takes to develop the best golf balls in the game.
Check out the video for a closer look at this step in our R&D process and to see what happens to a golf ball at impact -- and a few micro-seconds after impact... (Yes, we said micro-seconds.)

The most amazing thing about this vid is the fact that the Titleist robot was hitting the ball into a bedsheet which was suspended by two clothes pegs in front of a roller shutter garage door. Now that’s Hi Tech!
Watching how the face hits the ball actually improved my game! Thanks!
great guy loves his job and the application of his skill and knowledge.
I'd like to have that robot arm's swing.
You guys really do make great balls! Especially the Pro V1.
Love the Pro V's... They feel so good when you hit them, and they spin up nicely....
I never knew golf balls could bounce like that cool video
Thank you Titleist, very cool!
and I am going to buy some Titleists for my Golf event tomorrow right now! thanks for the video
looks like an amazing job
can you put a gps in them?
"I'm a 2-year-old with a light switch" LOL
Pretty cool results
Good video Titleist!
this is a really cool video thanks!
real excellent video, really enjoyed it, very innovative and informative, who ever as a 9 handicapper, I don't have a high or fast swing speed, between driver at 105 to a short iron about 75mph club head speed. Any thought on what ball I should use. I notice Bridgestone say that using balls pro's use may be counter intuitive.
I want to watch the movement of the club before and after impact, controlling the moment of ball impact 😊.
Thats pretty cool, when my cousin said that it gets "smashed" and then goes back into a oval, i didnt believe him. But hey, learn something new every day!
Awesome
I enjoyed that, and the fellows enthusiasm.... I like the goal of making the best possible golf ball. Titleist has got it down...
My swing is very similar..:)
i love titleist soooo much they are the best
okie so that swing machine... I need to get that swing. Anyone know where I can get one?
I'm just a guy from Texas that builds catapults. I use golf balls for my smaller machines. I use magnus in one of my launching styles. Golf balls are perfect for this. I started casting large cement golf balls in silicone molds I make, for my larger machines. Being of science, I have a question about dimples. Scaling up the diameter of the ball, would the dimples scale up proportionally, or should they stay the same size as on a standard size golf ball? The test balls I have produced have proportionally up scaled dimples, but my gut is telling me that they should remain small. The small dimples will still induce magnus, but won't create a bunch of drag. I have seen computer simulations of how air behaves over the surface of a golf ball, but none exist of how the air flow behaves over a spinning golf ball with linear motion. Shark skin comes to mind, and hydrodynamics, and that one wouldn't up scale the skin surface texture, the larger the shark.
hi, would you still recommend prov for a swing speed of below 100? Also would be nice if Titliest would make a prov ball that didn't cost so much. thanks
Very nice. I don't see the ball sliding up the face, but I do notice the club face, both with the driver and the wedge, being slightly deflected downward due to the oblique angle from the loft of each club.
0:30 always been uncertain about that and I think many is.
Not very many people believe this I do. I swing 95 mph and I use the Pro V1x and it is the best ball for me best distance, best control, and stops well on the green so I don't think you can really swing too slow for the v1x like I said gives me better distance than any other ball and gives me the best control and stops as good on the green as any other ball
I love you guys I wish i could be sponsored by you and your products are amazing
Can you clarify, at the 0:50 mark, in the presenters audio, the first set of tests are talking about "club speed" but the graphic in the video says ball speed. I suspect it's ball speed since we're talking about 175mph.
Wow
In general, the speed of the golf ball should be 1.5 times that of the speed of the swing. For the golfer whose swing speed is 100 mph, the speed of the ball as it leaves the clubface should be 150 mph. However, increasing club speed may not necessarily lead to an increase in ball speed.
On impact does the ball kick back slowing down the swing, the arms and the hip turn?
SCIENCE! ...in the name of golf, lol!
Phantom highspeed camera. Some expensive stuff you got there.
Interesting vid. But why the band playing in the background? I can listen to a guy talking without needing 'music' to maintain my attention span. Thanks
Dear Titleist, Best ball I've played! Just saw this vid. Could you clarify something, please. Paul Furze speaks of "driver speed" according to what's noted in the video, 120-175. But the video notes reads "Ball Speed". Please tell us which one is it because those driver speed or club head speed are off the charts for a regular golfer. Thank you.
If those numbers of 120-175 are ball speed, what club head speed did you have them set on?
They make a great ball but my biggest issue with there balls is that the colour white fades very quickly and that makes it harder to see and find. Titleist you need to work on keeping your balls whiter!
Interesting! The logo is parallel to the ground in the test. Is this for advertisement? I have always played the proV logo parallel to the face of the driver.. Anybody? Help??
"Science-y things."
Superbowl commercial brought me here
Caution Ball testing..............................
lol golf ball scientist
I want to see what happens when the ball is hit more towards the toe and the heel.
If you're looking for additional real world test data, feel free st send me some of your prototypes along with some gear and I'll be more than happy to help! Doesn't hurt to ask lol! Stay in the short stuff folks!
For most of us its probably a little less than 1.5x
#YOLO
Funny, I thought with these new drivers the sweet spot was higher up on the face, guess not.
Sacate la camiseta.......
Science gives me a headache...
175? 120? this doesn't show any proof
Golf's rubbish
