New Ball Launch From Titleist

Titleist are launching a brand new Titleist Tour Distance SF golf ball that combines the distance of the current Tour Distance ball with greater spin and feel.

The new Titleist Tour Distance SF ball has been esigned for all those golfers who are seeking more distance but do not want to sacrifice spin and soft feel as a result.

The ball sits alongside the Titleist Professional, the Titleist Tour Prestige, the Titleist Tour Balata and the Titleist PTS Wound as one of five wound balls in the Titleist range. It has a new thermoplastic liquid-filled centre that results in a lower spin rate and a flatter flight which both contribute to its extremely long distance capabilities and its lower compression and softer cover makes it much more responsive than other distance balls.

Titleist set out with a number of objectives in mind when it developed the new Tour Distance SF golf ball. Versus the existing Tour Distance ball:

• Distance is equal
  
  
• Initial spin rate is slightly lower
  
  
• Thermoplastic liquid-filled centre produces a flatter ball flight.
  
  

• Lower compression and softer cover give improved feel.

• Softer cover also gives improved wedge and half wedge spin for better greenside control and performance.

The new Titleist Tour Distance SF ball was launched at last autumn’s Munich Golf Show and is available now. It will be available in sleeves of three or in dozen boxes at a recommended retail price £7.95 per sleeve.
