Titleist Tour Speed Golf Ball (2020)

With new Pro V1 and Pro V1x still several months away, Titleist has decided to pass the time by launching Tour Speed. It’s the company’s first foray into the not-quite-tour-level urethane golf ball category. I discussed this and other categories in my recent diatribe on soft golf balls. One of the defining characteristics is that despite urethane covers, per-dozen costs are less than the tour ball category. As it happens, most are also soft.

As a consequence, performance stories associated with these balls sometimes defy the laws of physics. Still, there’s little doubt that the category appeals to average golfers who prefer soft feel. For the most part, we’re also talking about golfers who aren’t keen on spending more than $40 on a dozen balls. By previously not offering anything in the category, Titleist was inarguably leaving money on the table.

So, to address what Titleist sees as both a performance and market opportunity, the company expanded its Ball Plant #2 by 4,300 square feet, filled it with the equipment necessary to make injected TPU covers and launched the new Tour Speed ball.

Thermoset Cast Urethane versus Thermoplastic Injected Urethane

Perhaps we’ll jump into the weeds with this some other day but in the interest of a quick refresher, urethane golf ball covers fall into two categories – cast and injected. Titleist’s top-tier offerings (the Pro V1 family and AVX) feature cast urethane covers. TaylorMade and Snell use cast urethane. Competitors like Bridgestone, Callaway and many of the factories that design and manufacture balls for DTC brands use injection-molded urethane covers.

As you would imagine, every company claims it’s using a superior cover technology and so it’s not always easy to know what’s real. The Titleist position is that cast urethane is superior because it offers better performance (including higher greenside spin) and better durability than injection-molded offerings.

With Tour Speed, the company isn’t backtracking on that position. It still says cast urethane is better but it’s also more expensive. So, with consideration for the competitive set and the lower price point, Titleist believes it makes sense to offer something that, while a step down from cast urethane, is a significant step up from Surlyn.

Titleist leverages a new cover process called MTR (Multi-layer Thermoplastic Urethane via Retractable Pin Injection) technology. And while that’s more of a mouthful than you probably need, it’s part of what Titleist says makes Tour Speed the best of breed in its category.

EXP-01 Comes to retail

Remember EXP-01, the you can try it experimental testing platform Titleist launched last year? That’s where Tour Speed started. While at the time Titleist said little about the specifics of what it was working on, a quick cut of the ball revealed a three-piece construction that wasn’t quite Pro V1 but wasn’t Tour Soft, either. I’d call it a “tweener” (it certainly played that way). EXP-01 has evolved a bit since its prototype phase – the cover formulation was modified to create more spin and the dimple design was tweaked to optimize flight but a good bit of what consumers experience with EXP-01 made it into this new ball.

Given its $39.99 price tag and where it should logically sit on retail shelves – among the likes of soft-ish balls like Tour Response, Tour B RX, Chrome Soft and Q-Star Tour – it’s perhaps odd that “Speed” is in the name. What can I say? Tour Soft was already taken and perhaps Titleist is actively seeking to avoid some of the growing stigma associated with “soft.” If soft is slow, why not add some Speed?

Measuring the Titleist-provided samples in our ball lab, we clocked the compression at 78. The closest comps we have in our Ball Lab database are the Titleist Velocity (80) and the OnCore ELIXR (78). Titleist’s story is that, despite Tour Speed’s lower compression, it makes up some speed through construction. Typically, that’s code for a larger core and some tweaking of the relationships between layers.

The Titleist Tour Speed Golfer

It’s important to understand that Titleist’s objective for Tour Speed isn’t to create another tour ball and so there’s no reasonable expectation that it’s going to be as fast as a tour ball. That’s simply not realistic for any soft-ish golf ball. That said, Titleist believes Tour Speed will prove faster than others in the category while offering the softer feel that players who gravitate to this space in the market are looking for.

With that in mind, there’s no expectation that a golfer who typically plays something in the Pro V1 and AVX family is going to want to step down to Tour Speed but there’s hope that guys currently playing any of the competitors’ balls I mentioned are going to see enough of a performance benefit to step up or, at least, over.

Preferred in Player Testing

With the requisite disclaimer that we haven’t seen a test where the guy telling me about it didn’t come out on top: in Titleist player testing conducted across a wide range of handicap levels and in varying conditions, the majority of golfers who play Titleist Pro V1 or AVX, preferred those models over Tour Speed. What’s promising is that the majority of golfers playing balls from the competitive set reported a preference for Tour Speed. Longer, more spin, everything you’d expect to hear.

It’s the textbook your mileage may vary situation but the takeaway is that Titleist believes it has a ball that can grow its business in a segment in which it hasn’t previously competed. Ideally, Tour Speed helps it steal golfers away from its competitors without impacting its flagship Pro V1 business.

That last bit is key. There’s an unspoken or perhaps “spoken only in hushed tones” rule at Titleist that says make no ball that risks cannibalizing the Pro V1. It’s part of the reason why it trod lightly when launching AVX. I suspect it’s part of the reason you don’t hear more about the Left Dash Pro V1x and it perfectly explains why Tour Speed is being positioned as the not quite tour-level urethane ball that, while not Pro V1 good, is still better than anything its competitors offer in that space.

As an unapologetic tour ball snob, I make no endorsement here but given what we know from a quality standpoint in our Ball Lab tests, those searching for better performance from a soft-ish feeling golf ball should probably check out Tour Speed.

Titleist Tour Speed Pricing and Availability.

The retail price for the Titleist Tour Speed ball is $39.99. It’s available in white only but a yellow offering is in the works.

      Lee Trevino said “the reason Titleist is the # 1 ball in golf is that they hand them out for free at the locker room door.” That being said I heard/read somewhere that Srixon’s quality control was far super than any other ball on the market. Honestly some of my best rounds were with junky golf balls like Prostaff and Nike PD soft. Truthfully if you’re having a good day it doesn’t matter what you hit and if you’re having a bad day it doesn’t matter either ! No reason to pay $40 – $50 .

      I’m no whiz, but these balls are priced at $39.99 on several sites. It’s probably a very good ball. Every T model I have ever played has always been competitive in it’s category. Nobody ever lost a tournament BECAUSE they were playing a Titleist. There isn’t a TOUR ball out there that isn’t better than my 6 handicap. I’ll play less expensive balls in the winter as greens are soft and I don’t need the spin so this might fill that for me.

      I got a free sleeve of Tour Speed from Titleist. They were round white and soft . On soft greens they play great stop with spin harder greens they a little more roll out but . A good all around ball with a good feel off the putter. .To me they played like a Taylormade Project a which is another good ball.

      I just gave these a try last night in a 9 hole league scramble. I have a driver swing speed of around 110-115. Overall I really like the ball. I had 2 really good drives that measured over 300 yards. Didn’t see much difference distance wise from a ProV1.

      I love the feel of the ball especially with wedges and irons. Overall I liked the ball, but I have one complaint. I hit an open face 56 degree wedge from 95 yards and it absolutely shredded the cover. There was about a quarter sized area on the ball where the dimples where nearly gone from the cover being ripped away. What i found odd is that wasn’t the only full wedge I hit, but it was the only time the cover did that.

      I’ve been gaming the TruFeel as I got 2 dozens for 40€. Trying to game one ball and My ProV1s were walking out of my bag so could no longer justify it. Gamed the NXT Tour in the past so believe TourSpeed might be the ball for me especially after I got it recommended in the Ball selector. Would love to give those a try soon

      my local store said that Titleist quality control is better than all others, that each ball is made centered and not much variation. is there a “core” of truth to that? are their balls really less likely to be slightly uneven? and is it in the manufacturing process or in the post mfg. “accept vs reject” quality control? thank you all who can chip in some comments..

      Greg I have a driver swing speed of around 110-115. I just tried the Tour Speed in a 9 hole league scramble last night and hit 2 drives over 310. So even though softer balls may reduce ball speed slightly it doesn’t mean they will be shorter.

      Yep, my point exactly, soft may be slow but isn’t short, and I feel like this site constantly says soft is slow, and readers see that as slow is short. But that’s not the case.
      If my original comment didn’t portray that I apologize but Andrew your experience proves the point I wanted to make.
      All in all, did you enjoy the ball? I like the tour soft but it doesn’t do enough around the greens for me so if the tour speed can help with that I’m all in

      Greg I found it to be fairly similar to the Tour Soft. A little firmer feel and more spin on full shots but short game I probably couldn’t tell the difference between the two in a blind test. I can deal with the lower spin but the cover on the Tour Speed isn’t durable at all. I had a few wedge shots that shredded the cover. I bought a dozen to try so I will give them a chance.

      If that link doesn’t work it goes to TXG’s YouTube site where they have multiple videos testing golf balls. One in particular about soft balls going far. The basic premise is soft balls still go far, and that there are multiple factors that go into ball distance such as swing speed, angle of attack, launch angle etc
      This is one video, look up any number of reviewers who test golf balls and you will see they all go about the same distance

      Right now I use a Srixon Q Star Tour. I bought them for less than $20 a dozen on Srixon’s BOGO before Father’s Day. I also bought some Srixon Z Star for $20 a dozen during the same sale to compare the two. Do those ball have cast urethane covers or injection-molded urethane covers. What are the advantages of the new Titleist balls over those balls. At $40 a dozen these are too expensive, but I often can get $10 off from Dick’s making them $30 a dozen at which point they would be more competitive if they offer advantages.

The new Maxfli Tour and Tour x have been in the bag for a while. When I think about urethane covers, and I can regularly get the Maxfli at 2doz for 50$, this is a tough sell for me. A lot of the other options are coming in at $35 a doz too. I’m not paying a premium for acushnet name….

      Most golfers won’t. Including me. That said test after test proves the Pro V’s consistent accuracy is second to none. Especially at higher swing speeds. So there is enhanced performance.

      As for the average slower to moderate swing speed players a strong argument can be made for diminishing returns on a dollar to dollar basis. We’ve all hooked up with that guy who must have mentioned his Pro v1’s 15 times during the round. And he clearly never broke 100 once scoring straight up.

      Yes there are plenty of great performing balls out there at a much better price. But the Titleist Pro V’s are still the gold standard they all try to match up with. And to date none of them can match their QC ball to ball in every box. They cost more for a reason. And it’s not just the logo.

      I played through a case of the EXP-01 at the start of this season and realy enjoyed them: thought they were hot, striaght, and long off the tee with a soft receptive feel through my irons, the greenside play was pretty decent too – not as stop-n-drop as ProV or AVX but my home course has soft greens so I dont really need any more spin and liked the feel with my putter.

      I would consider switching over to these for a regular game ball for the tee performance alone, they really did take a ton of spin of my driver which really helped with dispersion, distance, and the roll-out was best i have played. If it helps anyone, for reference I’m at 16 handicap and prob only cary my drives around 235 -245 so prob swinging around 95mph or under (havent tested that in years though)

My Titleist rep told me all about it—I replaced my prior go-to Z-stars and Titleist Velocity with the EXP-01 which I originally received as a tester and then later went on sale as a pilot program but are now out of production with the coming new ball.. I LOVE the EXP-01 and the Tour Speed is basically the same ball with a tweaked urethane and dimple pattern. What’s great about it?–the balance of feel and distance. Honestly , my partners accused me of using a juiced ball !! The EXP (and hence the Tour Speed) is 5-7 yards longer than Pro V1, AVX, Velocity, Z star, Q Star , or Bridgesone RX, at least at at my Driver swing speed of 92 mph both in usual play or testing on SC 2000 launch monitor. I’m sold–especially at the price point which will likely be 39 bucks when it hits the stores

      Interesting. I too tested the EXP-01 against Pro V1, Srixon Z Star and AVX and felt that it fell short in all performance categories. All the others were longer and performed significantly better around the green. So much so, in fact, that I gave away my remaining EXP-01’s.

      If you want to play Pro v1’s but don’t want to spend the money, just buy 5A condition pre-owned ones (NOT reconditioned or recycled balls). eBay is full of them and I’ve even sold some myself at prices 60-70% less than you’d pay in the store. A legitimate 5A condition ball s/b virtually indistinguishable from new. And after you’ve hit your new ball off the first tee, I’m betting with certainty our balls will look exactly the same. Yes, yes, I know, the golf snobs are out there. Heaven forbid you play anything but new balls. And I’m happy for that attitude, it keeps the golf economy humming along.

      I guess Titleist is trying to cover every niche & price point in the market. What do you want to spend, $20, $30, $40, $50? I don’t think the cannibalized probably one sales, their goal is to obviously siphon off $ from competitors..

      Wow, what a far cry from when I first picked up a golf ball in the late 70’s. I had a choice of “top rocks” or a bllata titlesist that would show a big “smile” the first time you sculled it!

      By the late 1970s you had a choice of several Surlyn-covered wound balls, not just the TopFlite. Titleist made one, and so did Maxfli (the Blue Max was basically their 90 compression red ball with a Surlyn cover). Royal’s Plus Six was also Surlyn covered (remember the commercial with the Notre Dame physics professor who helped with the dimple pattern aerodynamics?). I thing Spalding had a Surlyn version of the Dot as well. I played all of these in high school from 1973-75.

      I understand the need for consstency, and Titlesist balls are the most consistent I have ever played, but I usually wait till I have Dick’s reward points first before paying full price for them, and then if I like them, I usually go to Lostgolfballs.com and buy 5A Mint Condidtions of the ones I like.

      The Titleist line up has become just too confusing- so many newer balls with different names and with the Pro V1 and X swapping over characteristics a few years back. They need to get a grip. Sticking with Chrome Soft x and TP5x balls.

      I suppose I can see some of that, but this is a category where Titleist hasn’t offered anything. Strip everybody’s marketing away, and what we’re talking about is a ball that’s in the same class as Chrome Soft, Q-Star Tour, Tour B RX(S), and Tour Response. It’s a softer urethane offering without the tour ball price tag.

      I think a majority of people would pay up for the AVX/ProV1s. And that’s exactly what Titleist wants from this venture. Its called Tour Speed but doesn’t offer what its called. Better then Surlyn but not as good as Cast Urethane thats 5-7 dollars a box more. I mean if you are going this route for the price I feel you’re better off trying another companies stuff out like srixon or Callaway. I play Maxfli Tours and Tour X for 25 bucks a box. I just think there are as good/possibly better options out there for less. But if you’re all about Titleist GB, do whatever you want.

      The Titleist website lists the ball as available now (Aug 5), and price is $44.
      Amazon lists the ball for $65 (!), and not available for 1-2 months!

      Just checking Titleist website, and it lists Tour Speed as available now (Aug 5), and price is $44.

      Is it just me or does the bluish center of the core look to be really non uniform? Surprised this wasn’t mentioned in the article, especially since they went to the trouble of including a photo of the cut ball.

      I’d wager its by design. Titleist and Bridgestone both use what’s called graduated core designs. As you move away from the center the compression value of the core changes. The idea is to tune performance in much the same way you might do with adding layers.

      Other than price point, unless I missed it, what isn’t described in these golf ball reviews and comparisons, is who they are for. “Soft”…..is not necessarily bad, if hit properly by someone with a slower swing speed — like me, and I have the experience to prove it.. What I can’t tell from the article is if Tour Speed may provide any distance or other performance advantages for someone who doesn’t deliver pro or scratch-like smash numbers. Can the ball perform for a 63 year-old, like me? Is the $ 8 per dozen savings vs. the Pro V! worth it — for me? All the descriptions about molding and cover characteristics don’t mean zilch unless there is an implication for an optimal player profile.

      Z-Stars are $39.99 and they are an excellent, tour level ball (view MGS 2019 ball test)

      The Titleist name might get these some sales, but man Srixon is onto something…

      Agree that Z Star is a great ball and with it often on sale at BOGO or 3 for 2, nothing else can compare.

      I have been playing the Q Star Tour for a couple of years and have bought some Z Stars (at BOGO prices) to compare with them. Having been going back and forth all year – I now have a bunch of both. I can see advantages (very small) to both but not sure which I like better.

      Still have a dozen of the original Kirkland balls, which are the best all around ball. You have got to try the Bridgestone Precept Laddie Extreme yellow. Dick’s has them on sale for $20.00 a box of 2 dozen. Not going to tell you how good it is you will find that out yourself.
