Titleist VG3 Golf Balls

The Titleist VG3 Golf Ball is a premium distance model exclusive for the Japanese market, featuring a super lower spin fleximer cover and soft center multi-component construction. The new Titleist VG3 delivers low spin off the driver and irons for long, straight and consistent distance on all shots. The construction features a soft center for lower spin and an advanced 332 catenary dimple design with a Staggered Wave Parting Line A.I.M (Alignment Integrated Marking), which offers more consistency and length.

Thanks Brad. What Titleist ball is it similar to on the US market?

I picked some up at the store the other day and it feels like a NXT Tour. Im using them for practice balls.

The VG3 is like a hybrid cross between a Pro V and NXT tour series.

the red  numbering usually denote hard golf balls,while the black numbering  usually denotes soft golf balls, like in the case of 

Pro V1x (hard), ProV1(soft).This also usually holds good with other brands also.

I starting using the VG3 a couple of months ago and love them. Very consistent distance due to lack of spin...a double-edged sword. I buy mine at Golfsmith where they are 23.95/dozen. The best value I have found in a ball in a while.

The VG3 bites and sticks like glue on firm greens. They will also spin off wedges when you lay the club flat on it's back and place the ball forward in stance.

This Ball is compliant with USGA.  Go to USGA website and check for conforming balls and search for Titleist VG3.  It is there!

I translated this from the website - missed the bottom half

I think the different colored numbers on titleist golf balls are a difference  in compression.  Somebody told me that because i had a pro V 1 with a red number and one with a black.

I have just received a dozen balls marketed as prov v1 but they are nothing like a pro V!.I can only assume they are fakes or japanese from a company called newgolfoutlet Malcolm

Well, Titleist and most other brands have Black (prov1-soft),Red(prov1x-hard).

Green,blue,golden brown etc:,are for  the Japanese and other Asian  brand of

golf balls.

I believe these Japanese golf balls  are really good golf balls and are as good as

Titleist and other brands,however they are expensive if they are Japanese,like all

Japanese golf equipment.
