Titleist TOUR SPEED

This ball straddles a middle ground between the distance off the tee that Surlyn-covered balls typically produce and the possibility of more greenside spin that balls with a urethane cover usually have—all for $13 less than a Pro V1. The urethane cover here is a thermoset process compared to the top-shelf cast process that saves cost. (If you notice a difference, you can always go up in class, but you probably won’t.) More importantly, a reformulated high-compression core and a new ionomer mantle layer provide less spin on the longer shots for better flight.
