Titleist 4 for 3 deal

[Teebs]

Mine arrived last week and I'm glad to be back in a ProV1x.

For me (your experience may vary), they are exceptional, plenty long enough and have sufficient spin control with the short game.

Lovely ball, unfortunately I don't have enough speed to take advantage of them

It depends what you need

Titliest claim prov 1 suits everyone. IE everyone could benefit from it

Unfortunately I produce far too much spin with driver due to being rather rubbish lol so the avx has the premium stuff of the prov but are low spin with the driver which has helped me keep it in play

I just feel like that's nonsense though. I guess they're longer off the tee for most people, but for slow-swingers who don't compress the ball they're surely just going to spin too much and lose you loads of distance with irons?

Does anyone ever read what threads are about on this forum?

I actually have ordered personalised balls before, for my dad. We get them printed with 'Grandad Tim' in pink and say they're from my daughter. I didn't do it on a 4 for 3 deal though.

I thought higher compression balls always went further, than lower compression balls, but as swing speed reduces, the difference gets less and around 85mph or so becomes so minimal that it makes no difference.

With driver I think that's true, yes. With irons I think it's little more nuanced because spin is more of a factor. So a low-spin ball will go further off an 8 iron, say. I'm largely basing this on the My Golf Spy ball tests that I've studied in great detail, because I have a rich and fulfilling life.

That makes sense.

If it keeps you out of trouble it's all good, I'm not here to judge anyone's hobbies!

I see this offer is back on and there is the option to get them personalised. Does anyone get anything witty stamped on theirs or seen anything witty on balls they've found?

One of my old Scratch League partners used to buy 3 doz ball at a time with OSH IT stamped on them.
Surprising the number he used to get given back, he was very long and occasionally wild so some from very strange places.

I'm not sure if it's just the way this is worded, but the Titleists are £37.50 a dozen with the deal.

If you compare like for like the saving is £22, or £5.50 a dozen. That's £128 for 4 dozen Seed or £150 for the Titleists. Everyone has a different opinion, for a £65 saving I'd be more likely to consider the seed balls, but for £22 I'm happy to stick with Titleist.

Each to their own and if I didn’t use seed I’d use Titleist AVXs but my maths is simple. Their website is £55pd which is £165 for 3. Seed at £25pd which is £100 for 4, hence saving £65.

If you use Titleist, it's a saving, full stop.

If you use Seed, the offer makes no difference, nor does the maths.

Same applies to each and every other ball - no savings to be had if you don't use the product on the offer.

Jumping in randomly means you are just missing the point and context of my original post.

Understood.

I may have quoted you, however, my point remains valid, irrespective of the context.

Only if you compare apples to oranges, it's not a fair comparison if you take the cheapest possible discount price for seed (although when I looked they advertise £25 with a subscription, but it's £29 when in the cart), but over the RRP for Titleist. Anyone selling Pro v1s for £55 is selling them for more than the RRP set by Titleist, unless they're personalised, or special number balls.

With no discounts Seed is £35 per dozen, as per their website.
With no discounts the RRP for Pro v1s is £52 and AVX is £43.

In the real world even without deals not many people are paying the above prices, however with the current deal:
If you buy 4 dozen, Seed are £128 (£32 each) if you buy 5 dozen £150 (£29 each).
If you buy 4 dozen Titleist Pro v are £150 (£37.50 each) and AVX £120 (£30.00 each).

So buying 4 dozen pro v1s is £22 more than 4 dozen Seed, and AVX is actually £8 cheaper, if you buy 5 dozen seed to get the max discount, then the equivalent 4 dozen would be £4 cheaper than AVX.
You can subscribe to Seed, but then you need to order at least 3 dozen every subscription period otherwise you don't get free shipping, and have to add £5.99, which then makes them effectively £32 a dozen.

If you prefer Seed balls that's all good, but the actual price difference is way less £65, that wouldn't look so good on their marketing though.

Love the numbers, when you break it down it's so close between a lot of them. Comes down to what you want

I used to get snell "get sum" balls , worked out well. Liked them. However always had to buy 6 dozen to make worth it.. made the switch to ad333 at the time as if your out and playing next day bingo just go shop

Switched to avx few months back. The guy I get them off does 4 dozen for £135 .. so under £35 a dozen.

That's my preference and saves going to £43 a dozen. But if I am stuck for balls can just nip to a pro shop

I would say that depends on the reason you use the product. If price is not a consideration at all then yes, but for most people price is a consideration to some degree, it may have more or less influence depending on your priorities.

It's way closer than you would think. I also used Snell and Vice in the past, it's only when I actually did the maths I realised the saving was nowhere near as much as the marketing had me think, and for me personally I was happy to spend a bit more, especially as I don't tend to lose loads of balls. I can understand that if you lose a fair number of balls, the small difference can add up to a lot over time.

I've noticed I've lost less balls since moving to avx from ad333 as they suit me better a low spin ball . Last round I managed to loose 1 that just hopped into the gorse and we couldn't locate it. Rest of round it was fine lol

I swear the direct to consumer balls used to be a lot better value aswell

I don't like cheese, so whether that pizza is a tenner, or a pound, I'm not buying it.

Those who use Titleist regularly do benefit from the 4 for 3 offer and those who don't, because of the cost/VFM/etc might have a go because that cost is reduced.

Those who do not like the ball won't buy them at any price (see the cheese analogy).

So.....does anyone get anything humorous or unusual printed on their 4 for 3 balls?
