Titleist Golf

Created in the 1930’s, Titleist has been a major force in the golf equipment industry almost since its inception. As one of the brands owned by the Acushnet Company (alongside Footjoy, Scotty Cameron, Cobra and Pinnacle) Titleist has helped to make Acushnet Company become perhaps the biggest golf equipment and apparel manufacturer in the world.

Much of Titleist’s success is built on their mission to “satisfy golfers with golf products of superior performance and quality”. If the professional tours are anything to go by, Titleist is certainly doing that! Titleist equipment is the most used on tour, with the most players using their golf balls, wedges and irons in 2009, and coming a close second for their drivers, fairway woods and hybrid clubs.

First played on tour in 2000, the Pro V1 range of golf balls quickly became the most popular on tour. By 2004 their widespread use led Titleist to use the slogan “#1 Ball in Golf”. Having changed little since 2000, the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x remains the ball of choice for professionals and amateurs alike. Minor changes have been made to the Pro V1 range for 2009 to improve the durability of the cover as well as provide slightly better distance.

Titleist is not only a golf ball company however, and the same commitment to quality and performance has seen them dominate the wedge market. Over 40% of PGA Tour professionals used Titleist wedges in 2009. The new Spin Milled Vokey wedges come in three different finishes, range in loft from 48º -64º and have varying bounce options to cater for your preference.

The 909 series of woods released in 2009 are used by many of the world’s best players including Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, Steve Stricker and Robert Karlsson.

There are three current offerings for drivers, all aimed at low or mid handicap golfers, the 909D2 as played by Rory McIlroy, the 909D3 as used by Steve Stricker and the 909D Comp.

The new Titleist 909F2 and 909F3 fairway woods are designed for the mid and low handicap player looking for control over the ball. Paired with top quality shafts from Aldila and Mitsubishi, these woods are a great choice for players who want to work the ball from side to side.

The Titleist 909H is the only hybrid offering from Titleist in 2009, however its ease of use will endear it to golfers of all abilities.

As well as producing high quality golf equipment, Titleist also make a range of top quality accessories including caps, towels and bags.
