The Better Ball: A Comparison between the Titleist ProV1 and Titleist DT So-Lo Golf Balls

Overview

Objectives/Goals My project was to see if the repetitive impact of a 10 degree Titanium Driver would knock the Titleist DT So-Lo golf ball out of balance more quickly than the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. My hypothesis is that I believe that the Titleist DT So-Lo golf ball will go out of balance more quickly than the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. Methods/Materials I took ten Titleist Pro V1 and Titleist DT So-Lo golf balls. I then numbered the balls 1-10. Then I weighed and measured each ball and rolled them each ten times down a ramp onto an artificial putting green. I then hit ball number one 10 times, I hit ball number two 20 times and each successive ball 10 more times than the preceding ball until I hit ball number ten 100 times. I then reweighed and remeasured each ball to see if there was a change in mass or diameter. I then rolled each ball ten times down a ramp onto an artificial putting green onto a chalk line to see if they would roll straight. Results I found that after the repetitive striking of the golf balls, the Titleist Pro V1 golf balls stayed in balance longer than the Titleist DT So-Lo golf balls. Conclusions/Discussion I discovered that the Titleist Pro V1 golf balls would stay in balance longer than the Titleist DT So-Lo golf balls. This proves that my hypothesis was correct, and that price makes a difference in the performance of the golf balls. Titleist makes the Pro V1 balls $44.00 while the DT So-Lo balls are only $29.00, this states that it may be more useful to spend a little bit more on the golf ball you use because you might get a better result.
