What is Titleist RCT?
RCT stands for Radar Capture Technology. It is a Pro V1, Pro V1x or Pro V1x Left Dash with a radar reflective marker built into the core, so radar launch monitors can measure spin indoors instead of estimating it.
Can I use RCT balls on the course?
Yes. RCT balls conform to USGA and R&A rules and perform the same as the standard Pro V1 and Pro V1x, so you can take them straight from the simulator to the first tee.
Which launch monitors work with RCT?
Titleist has validated TrackMan 4, Garmin Approach R10, Full Swing KIT, FlightScope X3, FlightScope Mevo+ and Rapsodo MLM for RCT indoors. We stock the Garmin Approach R10, or see all our launch monitors. Make sure your unit has its latest software or firmware installed for accurate spin.
Do I still need reflective spin stickers?
No. The marker is inside the ball, so there is nothing to stick on and nothing to fall off, and you do not need to line the ball up before each shot.
Do I need RCT with a camera-based launch monitor?
RCT is made for radar-based launch monitors used indoors. Camera-based units read the ball differently, so check your unit's own guidance before you buy.
Pro V1 RCT or Pro V1x RCT?
Choose Pro V1 RCT for a penetrating flight and very soft feel. Choose Pro V1x RCT for a higher flight, more short game spin and a slightly firmer feel. If you play one outdoors, pick its RCT version so your indoor numbers match.
What is the difference between Pro V1x RCT and Pro V1x Left Dash RCT?
Both fly high. Pro V1x Left Dash RCT has much lower full-swing spin and a firmer feel, so it suits faster swingers who want to cut spin. Pro V1x RCT keeps more spin and a softer feel. If you play the standard Pro V1x Left Dash on the course, pick its RCT version indoors.
How do I tell an RCT ball apart?
RCT balls carry an RCT logo on the side. They come in white with play numbers 1 to 4.
Is RCT worth it if I only practise outdoors?
RCT is designed for indoor use, where a radar launch monitor only sees a short window of ball flight. Outdoors the radar follows much more of the flight, so most golfers are better served by the standard Pro V1 or Pro V1x.
What else do I need for an indoor setup?
A radar launch monitor, a net and a hitting mat. We stock launch monitors and practice nets and mats to build a setup that fits your space.
Do I earn loyalty points on RCT balls?
Yes. Every dozen earns GolfOnline loyalty points that you can spend on a future order. See how the points programme works.
