Hi Greg and welcome. First, this forum is a discussion group of consumers like you, so not answered directly by Titleist. As for testing, they do occasionally send out random test balls right before a new release as they did last fall for the new ProV series. They do not send test clubs. There has been a few occasions where test clubs were brought to the warm up range during Team Titleist outings and attendees were able to hit them a few times but they were not issued to them to keep. Best of luck in your golfing future and try talking to your coach about connections he may have to Titleist equipment.

This might answer your question. Welcome to Team Titleist. We are a group of Titleist's loyalists. Everyone has the opportunity to sign up to test equipment but the list is very long. www.titleist.com/golf-ball-testing

Titleist policy.

Donations
Complimentary Merchandise
We receive many requests for merchandise throughout the course of a year. As the cost of honoring all such requests would be prohibitive, it is our policy to refrain from providing complimentary merchandise. We hope you understand our position in this matter.

Product Donations
As you can imagine, the Acushnet Company receives thousands of requests for donations each year. The sheer volume of requests that we receive on a daily basis, dictates that we can no longer respond to individual donation requests. In the spirit of fairness we have adopted a policy whereby Titleist focuses its support to a variety of worthy locally-based and national charities, including the Folds of Honor, Gloria Gemma breast Cancer Resource Foundation and the United Way.

Discount Purchase Programs
Titleist offers a high school purchase program that our authorized golf shops accounts may offer at discount prices. This program applies to golf balls, golf bags, and headwear. We do not sell directly to coaches or players, as we remain loyal to our authorized golf shops. To learn more about this program please contact your local authorized Titleist Golf Shop. This can be any golf course or off-course retailer that sells our products.
