Let’s take a look at each ball’s information:

Titleist “AVX”

Low spin, low trajectory, big flight, and soft feel

The new Titleist AVX golf ball has been re-engineered from core to cover to increase performance on every shot, delivering longer distance tee to green, more greenside spin and control, and an even softer feel.

The new AVX builds upon its unique combination of exceptional distance and extraordinary feel through advancements to every layer of the golf ball:

  • New high gradient, high-speed core delivers longer tee-to-green distance and an exceptionally soft feel.
  • New thin, high-flex casing layer provides lower spin on long game shots.
  • New 346 quadrilateral dipyramid catenary dimple design allows for a more piercing ball flight.

Titleist “TOUR SOFT”

Soft feel with outstanding flight distance performance

Faster core technology and a reformulated cover system drive improved all-around performance in the new Titleist Tour Soft golf ball, providing golfers with longer distance off the tee and increased spin into the green – with an exceptionally soft feel off the club face:

  • New faster, large core delivers faster ball speed for more distance off the tee, incredible soft feel, and low spin on long game shots.
  • Reformulated thin Fusablend cover provides dependable greenside spin for excellent short game control.
  • 346 quadrilateral dipyramid dimple design offers an efficient aerodynamic package and optimized ball flight for long distance.

What happens if your ball strikes another players ball? Golfing Rules, Seriously!
