    I have found a couple of these the past year on my course. I'm wondering if anybody can shed some light on them. I do not believe it is the Tour Prestige wound ball the was manufactured between the Professional and the Pro-V, because it has the alignment arrow on the side like the newer balls have. I don't remember those back on the old Professional's or Prestige's. I plan on playing the ones I find, so I don't want to cut them apart to see if it is an old wound ball or not. Our pro has no idea.

    Thanks! Mel

    Mel,

    Those are the balls that were only given to Tiger when he played. I heard from a friend that knew a guy that once shampooed Tiger's next door neighbors carpet about this. If you are finding them on your course, Tiger must've been out there.

    Mel,

    You're right about it being pre- ProV... seems you can still get them on Amazon and Ebay, though I'm not sure about how long they may have been sitting... maybe fire off a message to Titleist and ask 'em...

    The Tour Prestige you see today is a new ball, not the same as the ball of 10+ years ago with the same name.

    The construction of the new "Tour Prestige" is identical to the current "NXT Tour" ball.

    Similar construction:....White Pro Fusablend® Cover (only titleist ball with this cover is the NXT Tour)
    ....................................High Velocity 1.580" Core
    ....................................392 Icosahedral Dimple Design
