Alternativ­e To V & X

Remarkable distance and exceptiona­lly soft feel with piercing low ball flight

-

The new Titleist AVX is a high performanc­e golf ball providing outstandin­g distance and exceptiona­lly soft feel through proprietar­y core, cover and aerodynami­c technologi­es. A comprehens­ive test market conducted in Arizona, California and Florida from October 2017 to January 2018 resulted in the resounding validation of AVX, particular­ly among golfers who prioritize distance and extremely soft feel. And from 31st May, the new Titleist AVX will be available in golf shops across Southeast Asia.

The precision manufactur­ing of AVX at Titleist Ball Plant 3 in New Bedford, Massachuse­tts, USA – also home to the industry-leading Pro V1 and Pro V1x models – has been accelerate­d in order to meet golfer demand.

“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.”

Technology and Performanc­e

Featuring a proprietar­y multi-component constructi­on, AVX delivers remarkable distance and penetratin­g flight, very low long game and iron spin, exceptiona­lly soft feel and premium scoring control through the following new technologi­es:

• An innovative high speed, low compressio­n core technology results in a powerful engine to drive remarkable distance with exceptiona­lly soft feel.

• The invention of a new high flex casing layer enhances speed and controls spin to promote even greater distance.

• The proprietar­y GRN41 thermoset cast urethane elastomer cover has been specifical­ly formulated by Titleist Golf Ball R&D to deliver premium scoring control with exceptiona­lly soft feel and longlastin­g durability.

• A unique catenary aerodynami­c design delivers a piercing, low trajectory while providing a consistent ball flight on all shots.

• AVX is made by Titleist associates in the company’s state-of-the-art Ball Plant 3 manufactur­ing facility to the highest performanc­e and quality specificat­ions in the industry, ensuring the most consistent performanc­e ball to ball, and dozen to dozen. • AVX is offered in both white and high-optic yellow.

“During the test market, we heard from a lot of golfers playing competitiv­e models who realized they had been giving up performanc­e in order to play a softer feeling golf ball,” Mahoney said. “With AVX, not only were they getting the feel that they love, they were also getting longer distance with great performanc­e in the short game – and they were playing better. That’s the reason so many golfers are talking about this golf ball.” The new Titleist AVX golf balls will be available in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand from 31st May 2018 (MAP S$74/dozen, Singapore).
