Sure Kevin. First, look at the number below your name and then look at the numbers below the names of Dale V, Chuck Z, Chris B, and Don O for an example. Those are guys that have been active supporters of the forum for years and rarely get items for their participation in posting. We do it for the desire to help, the passion for the brand, and the camaraderie between TT members. You mentioned outings and yes, that is the key to the availability of TT logo items except for the few that are available at the Ball Plant store or the Gear link within this website. Almost everything I have with a TT logo was part of a welcome gift set at an event. That is also where I have received prototype balls for testing and have been able to see ands hit early release versions of irons and woods. We are happy that you are now part of the active TT community and hope to see you at some future events. Hope this helps to level expectations.

Kevin, welcome to TT community. While I do not have as many posts as Dale, Chuck, Chris, or Don, all of which I have met and gotten to know at events. I can second that attending events, either locally or nationally is the best way to exposed to TT swag or testing. The TT community is very large so chances of getting anything is rare given the "odds."

I recently attended a local event here in Houston where we got a chance to test the new ProV1's. At the TT event in Utah last week, those in attendance got another opportunity to play the 2025 ProV1 and ProV1x.

The Utah event had a lot of new faces much like yourself who are fans of the band and wanted to see what the hype was about.

The events are great but seeing old friends and making new ones is what keeps me coming back.

Lastly, if you joined this community to get free stuff, probably not the best reason to join. There is a lot of great content on this site from a variety of sources. Some from Titleist directly, some from individuals like you and me. Joining the site is of your own accord and no cost to do so. Embrace the community, not what swag you can get from it.

Agree with Dale, just fun being a part of the TT group and sharing thoughts and ideas with members on the forum. I have been an active member of TT, attended events, and enjoy the group. But it doesn't always mean I am included with proto testing.

Congratulations on your upgrade of your equipment. My colleagues are on target. Guess I would call us golf nerds and a family. Also could be that Dawg shirt. Just kidding, Rocky Tol Vol here. Just so you that we do have a little fun on TT on occasion. I love the SEC as much as I do TT. Been around for about 13 years and have made some great friends from all over the world and have played some awesome courses. Have lots and lots of TT stuff that I payed for thru my attendance registration TT events. When I first joined, way back I did get prototype in the mail to test when we were a much smaller group. With the increased membership I do not see how they can can send out to everyone on the site. With all the events that are offered each year on this site, more opportunites are there for our more loyal members to recieve them. Have not seen any proto types thru the mail in years, I attend events, do not complain, and do not seek freebees on this site. Am a happy and very loyal TT Ambassador, like Dale V, Don O, Chris B, Tyler S and many more. Hakana matata.
