I wanted to know how our Tour C4 stacked up against "The #1 Ball in Golf," the Titleist Pro V1 (prior-gen). So I took a sample of 2 dozen balls each, and headed out to our test facility to hit them with our Iron Byron swing robot. I measured their carry, total distance, accuracy, and wedge spin.
What were the results? The robot testing showed that the Tour C4 actually beat the Pro V1 in carry (by 6.7 yds.), distance (by 9.2 yds!), and they were very close on spin (within 250 RPM)! (Read more about the testing process with the Iron Byron swing robot here.)
But how about accuracy? Was the Tour C4 as accurate as the Pro V1? It was actually more accurate! Both balls were very accurate but the Tour C4 with 5.4 yds. of standard deviation edged out the Pro V1 with its 5.8 yds. (Simply put, standard deviation is a statistical measure of how far the balls go outside the average. Lower numbers are better.)
Imagine that! The Tour C4 didn't stop at matching the performance of the "The #1 Ball in Golf" IT BEAT IT!
But that's not the whole story, on price it gets even better.The Tour C4 not only beat Titleist's $47.99/dzn street price at $19.99/dzn it just trounced the Pro V1!
With the Tour C4 being clearly superior to the Pro V1 in practically every measure, unless you are a Tour pro sponsored by Titleist, is there really any honest reason not to at least try the Tour C4?
As said before, the Tour C4 beat the Pro V1 both in carry and total distance. But what is the difference between the two?
Carry is simply the distance the ball travels from the tee to where it hits the ground while the total distance is from the tee to where the ball finally rolls to a stop (essentially carry + roll).
It's fairly obvious why total distance is important. But what about carry? Well, how many times have you hit a drive where it didn't quite clear a hazard? You probably said something like 'if only I would have got just 5 more yards, I wouldn't have lost my ball in the water!' The Tour C4 gives you that and more nearly 7 more yards of carry!
We started by reformulating the chemistry of the core to produce a much higher velocity than ever before. This was really a key element.
Next, because the urethane cover of the 3-piece Tour C4 is very thin, that core could also be made extra-large. And that, of course, makes your drives go extra long. The aerodynamic 332-dimple design of the Tour C4 also helps deliver those extra long drives. This ball flies straight and high, and lands hot making your drives go longer.
The ultra-soft urethane cover, with improved durability, gives you the high spin you need with your irons and wedges to stop the ball on the green with stunning accuracy. Off a wedge, the Tour C4 spin rate is in line with the Pro V1 (within 250 RPM). On fast greens you can back the ball up 15 feet or more with either ball. And around the greens, the soft feel of the Tour C4 makes it easier to control and chip the ball closer to the pin for more one-putts.
We also employed state-of-the-art machinery and personnel to make the accuracy of the Tour C4 second to none. To make golf balls that are this accurate requires engineering and manufacturing of the utmost precision. Like car tires that are out of balance, any inconsistency in core placement and density, dimples, cover depth, etc ... will affect the performance of the ball commensurate with the degree of the defect. The extent that Tour C4 eliminates these inconsistencies puts it among an elite few golf balls that comes as close to perfect as is now humanly possible.
Think about this: All of the top professionals in golf play a urethane ball, and a majority play the Pro V1 (that's why Titleist bills itself as being "The #1 Ball in Golf"). These are balls that can be played at the highest levels of competition. Knowing that your Tour C4 actually beat "The #1 Ball in Golf" in carry and total distance, practically matches their spin and accuracy, and has great feel will give you a real confidence boost that can transform your game. You won't get that with any non-urethane ball.
I really want you to try the Tour C4 balls because I know you will shoot lower scores. So I'll make you this unbeatable deal:
Try the Pro V1 beating MG Tour C4 urethane balls for only $19.99 per dozen. If you aren't satisfied with the improvement your game has made, just send the balls back within 60 days for your refund (even if they're used!). You take no risk! Why pay $47.99/dzn for Pro V1 balls when you can pay only $19.99/dzn for Tour C4 balls that beat them? Order your MG Tour C4 balls today!
"My golfing buddies in Arizona told me about this new golf ball that went 15 to 20 yards further. I was of course very skeptical. However, I have just ordered my third dozen of the MG Senior balls and I owe my friends a big thank you. It does indeed go 15 to 20 yards further and I am enjoying golf more than ever, now that I am shooting lower scores because of the shorter shots I have into the greens."
