TITLEIST TO LAUNCH BALLS OPTIMIZED FOR TRACKMAN INDOOR USE
Using radar capture technology, the balls will enable serious practice, fitting, coaching and indoor tournament play, transforming the game of indoor golf
In close collaboration with market-leading sports technology company Trackman, golf ball manufacturer Titleist has developed the Titleist pro V1 RCT and pro V1x RCT golf balls optimized for indoor Trackman use.
Released on October 20, the new balls are set to transform the indoor golf experience for players of all skill levels.
Engineered with the help of a team of Trackman experts, the Titleist Pro V1 RCT and Pro V1x RCT balls improve precision performance and golf ball data from Trackman units used in an indoor setting.
The Pro V1 RCT and Pro V1x RCT are expected to become the top balls for the indoor golf environment, emulating its on-course equivalent.
“The Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x RCT golf balls connect the greatest combination of speed, spin, and feel in the game to consistently capture precision performance and golf ball data from Trackman units used indoors around the world,” said Jeremy Stone, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Marketing. “We have worked closely with Trackman to optimize this embedded radar reflective technology over the past two years.”
“We’re delighted to partner with Acushnet on the launch of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x RCT golf balls,” said Trackman CEO and co-founder, Klaus Eldrup-Jørgensen. “Titleist is a brand that goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure the premium quality of its products, and that mirrors Trackman’s approach to technology, innovation and development.”
The RCT golf balls have been developed for dedicated indoor fitting specialists committed to premium precision fitting experiences, coaches aiming to give their clients even better tools to work with and Tour pros for their indoor practice sessions.
The RCT golf balls — which don’t require the application of reflective spin markers or pre-shot orientation — will benefit golf facilities that operate Trackman simulators and that are seeking to enhance their customer experience.
“The RCT golf balls include the same design, materials, quality manufacturing and, most importantly, the identical performance as every non-RCT Pro V1 and Pro V1x, with enhanced indoor radar signal capture,” added Stone.
RCT balls have already been approved by the USGA as conforming for outdoor use. That means players will be able to use the balls at any tournament, indoor and outdoor, without risking disqualification.
“The launch is timed nicely with the start of the indoor season,” said Eldrup-Jørgensen. “The simulator environment is constantly growing, and innovation like this serves to benefit the game’s development by offering a multitude of off-season business and leisure opportunities.”
