Ball: Titleist Pro V1

Via Titleist regarding Harman and his Pro V1:

“Harman reiterated the significance of his switch prior to last year’s Open Championship at St. Andrews, where he finished T6: “The reason I switched back to Titleist was because of windy days and with Open Championships and major championships in mind. To flight the ball and not have to worry about it getting up and getting out of hand was a big deal.”

“’I switched to this ball in 2017 from a different company and the effects were immediate. You know, the last four years on tour have been my best four put together,” Harman said prior to the 2022 U.S. Open. “I just was never able to flight my old ball. I had trouble controlling and especially in the wind and we ended up playing so much wind out here. The effects for me were immediate switching to this Pro V and I mean, it’s been a complete 180. The way that I flight iron shots, the way that I control it around the green, it saves me, I don’t know how many shots it saved me.’”

  Yep–this doesn’t look like the bag of the usual Champion Golfer of the Year, it looks like the bag of a 55 year old club championship contender. 55 gram S flex driver shaft. Three driving irons. Giant putter. You love to see it

    Of course, but isn’t it obvious? Most tour pros are stronger and swing faster than the usual player and prefer a stouter iron shaft

I could’ve sworn the closeup of his ball revealed he’s playing the 2017 Pro V1 (dark filled arrow heads ). If this is correct, how often do pros play a ball that is several generations old?

      Love it. Their fears are like fuel for the day. Make a comment and their fears just come pouring out. Maga is a statement that any american should be behind. To not be is to wish it’s continued declines.
