Titleist’s latest is the AXV, a super premium ball that it says provides a softer feel than the Pro V1 and V1x, while offering pro level performance. According to Titleist, the ACX is the “lowest flying, lowest spinning and softest feeling high performance ball in the Titleist line.”
In the center is a high speed, low compression core, while the cover is cast urethane for soft feel and durability. In between, a “high flex casing layer” is designed to enhance speed and control spin for more distance.
“Golfers have spoken loud and clear about the performance of AVX,” said Michael Mahoney, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing. “While our R&D team is constantly exploring new golf ball technologies, only a limited number of prototypes ever make it past the initial machine and player testing phases. AVX stood out from the beginning. Ultimately, it was important to let golfers decide whether this golf ball had a place in our line and the results of our test market were emphatic. Many golfers were waiting for a product like AVX – our lowest flying, lowest spinning and softest feeling high performance golf ball – to help them play their best.”
The balls are expensive, though, hitting the shelves at $47.99.
