Titleist confirms yellow Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls for 2019
Back in April, when Titleist launched its new AVX golf balls in both white and optic yellow, Michael Mahoney, the Vice President of Golf Ball Marketing for Titleist, spoke on the possibility of yellow Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls on GolfWRX’s Two Guys Talking Golf podcast: “Our process is so focused on golfer feedback… if the demand for a yellow Pro V1 or Pro V1x were large enough…we would like to deliver on it.”
Well, it appears that golfer demand was high enough and Titleist is delivering on it, because on Monday, a company representative confirmed that yellow Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls are coming in 2019.
Rumors were recently swirling about the possibility of yellow Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls, and Team Titleist Manager Mike D. confirmed them in a post on Team Titleist’s discussion thread.
In the post, Mike D. writes…
“Now, you may have heard some of the rumors out there that this was the year that we would finally introduce a yellow Pro V1, Well, I’m here to let Team Titleist know that the rumors aren’t rumors at all. That’s right, after speaking with our product team I am able to confirm that we will be launching (sorry, I couldn’t avoid the pun) yellow Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls in 2019.”
Apparently, posts within the Team Titleist community played a large role in making that happen.
“In fact, Team Titleist played a pretty big role in making this happen. We read and shared all of the posts from the community asking for us to make a yellow Pro V1 and our R&D team went to work.
They spent countless hours on figuring out how we could develop the best possible bright colored cover formulation. They went through numerous trials to get everything just right.”
So, do we have confirmation on when exactly the yellow golf balls will hit the market? Not just yet…
“While we can’t share any more details than this update, we did want to make sure we confirmed this exciting news to all of you as soon as possible.
So stay tuned for more updates and details later in the year.”

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Been waiting on these for many years now. I loved the yellow Srixon’s but my distance suffered with them compared to the Pro V1x. I wish they would make an orange version too.

Way overdue. Old eyes aren’t what they used to be and yellow is a helluva lot easier to see.

I think this is my first shank. Can’t believe there are 57 likes. Guess I’m on the wrong side of history here, along with my utter lack of gaf for the WITB pieces. This *stuff* is news?

Sorry, Titleist, too little too late, already switched to Srixon 3 years ago! Plus the z-stars go on sale every year for $20 a dozen.

Me and my golfing partner are waiting for a pink ProV1 and V1x. He plays the pink and I play the optic yellow… rainbow golf ecstasy… 😮
