Along with your fabulous Golf knowledge and passion for the game people genuinely warm to you which in return offers all us access to facilities such as this resulting in entertaining, interesting and informative videos.....Thankyou. I have personally gamed Titleist Balls for nearly 50 years and have always been more than satisfied on their ability to consistently deliver an outstanding product.
This has to be one of the loveliest video's on TH-cam! Period! What a Breath of Fresh Air you really are Iona! You, Lady are "The Bees Knees & The Cat's Whiskers" Your content is on another level Girl, very Inspiring and always keeping the viewer engaged throughout the video. Your attention to detail coupled with your golfing knowledge is Breathtaking! You Iona are a credit to this beautiful game that we all play! Kudos to you Girl!😄
Wow! I’ve seen a few videos on how a golf ball is made, but this one is just incredible! Iona has done it again-what a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at the best ball in golf. She managed to break through the very polite and corporate vibe of the Titleist team with her signature Scottish charm (and by cheekily swiping the divot repair tool 😜). It’s no wonder she’s so loved by everyone there! The Titleist ProV1 is definitely my ball of choice this season, and I’ll be keeping the Left Dash handy for those windy days. Thank you so much for this amazing video-it’s an absolute treat! I’m already counting down the days until your next one. Keep up the amazing work, Iona!
Iona, this video was a joy to watch. Watching the process and all the discussion about sound, feel, and look of the ball. Loved the “green” machine. That was really interesting. Thank you for taking us along on your tour and play of the Titleist facilities.
Thanks Iona! That has been one of the most fun and informative videos ever. Really enjoyed "going behind the curtain" and seeing the boffins playing with their toys and turning raw materials into balls with all sorts of different characteristics, feels and sounds. You really are so blessed to have these wonderful opportunities, but richly deserved and thanks for sharing the process with us.
What an amazing amazing video. Loved the RnD, testing and insights.You truly have set a niche for your feature videos which are not only informative but also highlights your passion for golf.
Iona , thank you for bringing such great content to us fellow golfers , you have enabled us to view golf and equipment at the next level. Your videos are fantastic , beautifully produced , informative and hugely entertaining. I look forward to your next one.....
Another great video and how you get these companies to show their production line and the technology that goes into making the best golf is amazing. Keep up the great work. These videos are over hour long and there’s no problem watching the whole lot in sitting. At present there is no one else on You Tube doing golf videos like the one’s you do.👏👏👏👏
Very interesting Iona really great content unbelievable what small nuances go into the manufacture of a golf ball loved watching my game is generally about feel and I love a softer golf ball generally they feel great off the face of the driver nice and soft off the wedges and most important soft and quiet off the putter face enjoyed the video Iona keep up the good work x
Another enthralling watch, every time you do a technical subject I think I'll just watch the first 5 minutes, and you manage to be so enthusiastic about the process that I've watched the whole video, and time has stood still. My choice on sound would be the red ball. Cheers.
Hi Iona. Wonderful video, wonderful people. My personal opinion is, that Titleist is by far the best felt club and ball producer. Still love my 718 AP2. Thanks to you for the interesting documentations you deliver over the past month and years. Regards out of snowy Romania…
Iona has held me rapt for the whole hour and 14 minutes. She is delightfully engaging, enthusiastic and genuinely absorbed by the process. The content created by Iona and her team just gets better with each offering!
Absolutely loved this it’s great to get some insight to what actually happens in the factory for the ball setup & what a facility also. I can’t see by the pro V1 but that’s only my choice but may opt for the pro v1X this season give it a try. Keep up the good work Iona
What a great video. I enjoyed the whole process. I have been playing the ProV1 for many of years. I can’t wait until I can play again. I have had a L5S1 surgery and it’s been 4 months and I hope to get out there in March to test the new balls and get fit for all new titliest wedges. You have an amazing golf swing.
I love how Iona is so good she has to drop balls off the green to test chips because she doesn’t miss! ❤ Great look at how balls are made and tested to fit players games, Always the very best content available! ⛳️
Great content again Iona, really enjoyed that found it very interesting. It must have been a great experience doing the tour and the ball testing for Titleist. I think Pro v1x would probably be the ball I would like too, just for the extra height you get but would definitely have to test them out to confirm that decision
I don't know about other companies, but Titliest seems like the people really love what they're doing. And this impression goes all the way back to the 80's for me. In 1988, I was in the Coast Guard. My ships home port was New Bedford. I had suggested to our moral officer that they should contact Titleist about getting some equipment, direct from the factory. We thought they were going to just give us a deal on clubs. Instead, they gave us two sets of brand new clubs, and a couple of dozen white box balls. Everyone in this video took me right back to that day we picked up the clubs.
Iona, linking informative information with a great sense of humour is brilliant. Bruce, that's it! Please tell me he now officially called Bruce in the R&D.
Welcome to my neighborhood, Iona! Excellent work as always. If anyone out there gets the opportunity to tour Ball Plant #3 where the ProV1, 1x and AVX are born, in New Bedford, MA, don't pass it up! I hope you enjoyed your stay!
I am really enjoying your golf technology videos of late. It's interesting to see the process of manufacture and testing. I am old enough to remember when golf balls had long rubber bands in them :)
If you ever get the opportunity to do the tour of Titleist Ball Plant #3 in New Bedford, MA, it is absolutely worth it. That is where they make the Pro V1, Pro V1x and AVX balls.
Awesome video iona... I love the white box thing! Years ago titleist used to sell x outs in white boxes. First gen provs. The sound difference between standard and x is so obvious. I'm like Adam Scott could never use an x it's too clicky.... I love how teccie golf balls are but at the same time old school geeky! 🙌🙌🙌
Great content as usual Iona. It was very interesting to see all that goes in to improving what is after all an iconic product, and market leader. I think Titleist are lucky, or probably shrewd, to have you as an ambassador, as not everyone could make ball construction and testing interesting. If I could be so bold to say, there seems to have been a massive improvement in your putting posture since you went to the Scotty Putting Barn, probably exactly what Brad Faxon wanted to see. Thank you for increasing my knowledge.
Really interesting video Iona. It’s great to get insight into the development and testing that goes into the ball itself. I want to do a ball fitting later this year, looking for one that isn’t so disobedient. 😂
A really deep dive into the depths that Titleist go to get the best out of their balls, it really goes to show why they are so expensive for the general public.
I would love to know if the new prov1x will be a bit slower off the putter. I found the current one unplayably fast and had to play the left dash instead.
Strangely in my on course research that I conduct every year, I've found it's the Srixon 333 golf ball that is the most lost golf ball, the Titleist pro v1 balls really do get played by the better players and get lost a lot less.
Looking fresh Iona. Have you had your teeth whitened? Might just be the hat and top! I've just had mine done. 😁 Brilliant video again and as you probably know I'm a Titleist Fan Boy. ⛳⛳⛳
I would like to see a ball built for Driving- Approach- Chip and putting. You use the ball built for that shot rather then an all around ball- just to see what could be done.
I play cheap arse balls that I dont care to lose but I am going to go home and do some putting practice with them vs some better quality balls and see if I can feel the difference. This was a fascinating insight and perhaps I am doing my game a disservice by ignoring the importance of the right ball!
Recent WITB with some PGA tour players like Matt Fitz are using older versions of the x ball as they got used to the character of each model year. However they must test newer models. Without rule changes it would suggest the very best players in the world don’t see any major improvements year to year.
Great insight. Thanks Iona. I appreciate the effort that Titleist and others put in to advance the golf ball. However, I don’t feel that this continual development does the game’s green credentials any good. If you think about the amount of unsold balls, clubs etc. sitting in all the golf stores around the world and weight up the amount of material and plastic waste and carbon emissions from the manufacturing process. It angers me at times when I hear companies bragging about all they’re doing for the environment when, let’s face it, all they are really doing is continually drip feeding us the so-called ‘Next best thing’ in order to maintain or increase their profits. If they argue against this then please ask them why they feel they need to bring a new golf ball, golf club etc. every year or less. It’s an approach the world can’t sustain. A lot of people need to do a lot of soul searching.
When was this filmed? There's green grass and leaves on trees... and that certainly isn't the case in Massachusett's right now. As a matter fact, there shouldn't be any golf courses open and temps are in the upper 30˚'s (0˚'s)!!
Making a golf ball by hand looks like making pasta by hand! Regardless, try as I might, I've never been able to notice a material difference between the V1 and V1x in the 20+ years I've been playing golf.
Just gets better and better, Iona brings a ray of sunshine and fresh air to golf

Iona, you’re absolutely killing it. You have done some incredible videos in the last 6 months.
Loved the detail shown across all the processes but LOVED seeing how excited you were. I'm guessing you enjoyed this one! Brilliant work - thank you.
Hi Iona, thanks for sharing this together with Titleist! A pleasure as always!

Fantastic video, it is interesting to see all of the different steps that go into developing a new ball.
ProV1 is my ball of choice.
Nice look at the process from A to Z. Very neat to see the work they put in the whole process from building to playing. Great video!!
I mean who else just wants to hang with Iona and crew? Such a cool video, thanks you for sharing this journey !
Ummmmmmm lost for words, absolutely gripping watch. Fantastic content and thoroughly mesmerising. Brilliant 👏
Brilliant Iona great insight into the science and making of my favourite ball 👏🏻👏🏻
That swing on yours is to die for. If only Titleist could bottle that for us.
Iona , thank you for bringing such great content to us fellow golfers , you have enabled us to view golf and equipment at the next level. Your videos are fantastic , beautifully produced , informative and hugely entertaining. I look forward to your next one.....

Ambitious edit and scope - congrats for the opportunity
Awesome insight to my favorite ball (V1X) and by my favorite golf presenter!
Iona, you are doing a great job, so fun to watch your videos, I definitely learn a lot about all different part of the sport that I love.
Another great adventure. Thank you
It was fun to watch you having fun.
This was so fascinating.
Thanks Iona for this new greatest video I love this I love your work 👏👍
Iona has held me rapt for the whole hour and 14 minutes. She is delightfully engaging, enthusiastic and genuinely absorbed by the process.
The content created by Iona and her team just gets better with each offering!
Great feedback. I like that you give a truthful opinion..👍👏👏
Happy to have been part of the Acushnet family for 30 years, Bill Morgan was head of R and D in those days and we had Iron Byrons at Manchester Lane.
Absolutely loved this it’s great to get some insight to what actually happens in the factory for the ball setup & what a facility also.
I can’t see by the pro V1 but that’s only my choice but may opt for the pro v1X this season give it a try.
Keep up the good work Iona

Superb and fascinating content, now I might see if changing my Dunlop 55s improves my game. Thanks Iona.

I like this kind of video´s. well done Iona.
Love vlog style in the opening part, feel relaxed into the pace of video.
Brilliant video Iona! You seriously are The Bees Knees & The Cat's Whiskers! You Lady are simply a breath of fresh air! 🤣
Quality content, Iona.
If you ever get the opportunity to do the tour of Titleist Ball Plant #3 in New Bedford, MA, it is absolutely worth it. That is where they make the Pro V1, Pro V1x and AVX balls.
New to the channel! I absolutely loved your trip to Adidas and your communication with the engineers!
Fantastic insight on how they produce golf balls and understand more now on how there expensive.
Absolutely loved the video!! Just found out we have the same birthday, so happy belated birthday! I have like 15 years on you though.
Congrats on the engagement/wedding 🎉👏🏻💍
She kept that quiet.
("She kept that quiet") ....and for a reason
Gold dust as always!
Iona, did you go see Battleship Cove down the road in Fall River? Great segment, thanks for the insight!
Awesome video iona... I love the white box thing! Years ago titleist used to sell x outs in white boxes. First gen provs. The sound difference between standard and x is so obvious. I'm like Adam Scott could never use an x it's too clicky....
I love how teccie golf balls are but at the same time old school geeky! 🙌🙌🙌

Superb Iona x
Many thanks for this insight....
But I do love how u get so little practice and just playing some great shots...
Just Brilliant
Loved the video, hope you got to enjoy my home state!
Ah the cats out of the bag !! The secret Chitty Chitty Bang Bang machine 😂
Really interesting video Iona. It’s great to get insight into the development and testing that goes into the ball itself. I want to do a ball fitting later this year, looking for one that isn’t so disobedient. 😂
Even though the camera the sound of #5 was so satisfying
such a smooth swing. no divots, like tiger :)
A really deep dive into the depths that Titleist go to get the best out of their balls, it really goes to show why they are so expensive for the general public.
Pure Class
Great content as always,,no way you were swapping to the black😂😂
It's definitely turning into Iona Titleist channel 😂
Great video, never thought golf balls would make such a difference. Great experience though.
Live in Rhode Island and was wondering what course in Mass was this video filmed on. Love to play it.....Thanks !!
looks like Bay Club in Mattapoisett. you can get similr vibes at Pine Hills, Waverly Oaks or Atlantic GC.
Robot the Bruce - a very Scottish twist for Titleist
I would love to know if the new prov1x will be a bit slower off the putter. I found the current one unplayably fast and had to play the left dash instead.
great vblog Iona
Jeremy, was like a classic car salesman. 😊
Lot of time for Jeremy!
Fantastic insight into both centres. Don’t think I’m at the level to tell the difference though.
Wow, so cool! I guess this is why they're $5/ball. Also, 31:20 every golfer should be required to carry one of these.
This looks so good, but I'm not at a skill level that can justify the price just yet. I will loose too many
Strangely in my on course research that I conduct every year, I've found it's the Srixon 333 golf ball that is the most lost golf ball, the Titleist pro v1 balls really do get played by the better players and get lost a lot less.
@@Golfing-AddiCt😂😂😂
Iona will you film that Tpi gym work ? How’s the programme progressing ?
Looking fresh Iona. Have you had your teeth whitened? Might just be the hat and top! I've just had mine done. 😁
Brilliant video again and as you probably know I'm a Titleist Fan Boy. ⛳⛳⛳
Ian Fleming (Bond novelist) wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang like golf his roots were in Scotland.
I would like to see a ball built for Driving- Approach- Chip and putting. You use the ball built for that shot rather then an all around ball- just to see what could be done.
Does it repair its divots?
Top woman Iona
❤❤❤

It’s an approach the world can’t sustain. A lot of people need to do a lot of soul searching.
It is probably the best ball on the market but at $55 a dozen it is getting harder to justify the purchase
Did they give you a goody bag iona ??
Did you know, that at every PGA tournament, more pros MISS THE CUT using Titleist balls, than all other balls combined?
Iona no divot Stephens. V impressive
You could talk about the benefits of an eraser on the end of a pencil for an hour and I would listen intently. Love your videos.
When was this filmed? There's green grass and leaves on trees... and that certainly isn't the case in Massachusett's right now. As a matter fact, there shouldn't be any golf courses open and temps are in the upper 30˚'s (0˚'s)!!
indian summer kicks in 2-3rd week of October, so probably mid-late September.
I play. Yellow ProV1 soon to be a yellow 2025 proV after I send these dozen into the woods one by one
Making a golf ball by hand looks like making pasta by hand! Regardless, try as I might, I've never been able to notice a material difference between the V1 and V1x in the 20+ years I've been playing golf.
Give me proVX+ !
Robot the Bruce?
