Whats the deal with the Titleist G Ran Z balls? Ive seen them for 80 bucks a dozen?

Question

Is this a misprice or true? What do they do? are they control, or distance balls? Soft or hard? have you tried them? How are they?

Answer 1

The Titleist Gran Z golf ball was introduced exclusively in Japan in March, 2006 to compete in the emerging Premium Distance category unique to the Japan golf market.

Features and Benefits:

        - Two-component dual core construction

        - Surlyn cover

        - 330 dimples in seven sizes

        - Very low spin from tee through green

        - Soft compression

        - The low spin, long distance launch condition is optimum for golfers with swing speeds between 78-85 mph who prioritize distance

I've read it's a cross between the NXT and ProV1. I've seen them for $35 a dozen...but I've also read it's a Pinnacle manufactured ball here in the US (Acushnet thinks we're all suckers...and we are).

Answer 2

Its the golfer not the ball

Answer 3

Made for Japanese market for around 80 dollars a dozen (I think). Golf Galaxy has them on overstock for around 20 bucks a dozen.

Here are the specs:

■ Two layer core (Dual Core). This two layer core structure is made of a super soft inner core and a super elastic outer core. This powerful combination promotes a high initial ball speed and low spin, and raies the performance of the ball.

■ The newly developed flexible (Shima) Cover. This cover was developed with a focus on aero dymanics which reduces air resistance and a strong ballistic trajectory. It has 330 dimples. Also, it has a great feel and touch.
