Yeah I wouldn't want to use it either.

That would be a pre-release ProV1 from before the 2013 production model, based on the arrows.

Thanks for the link and the insights!

Go ahead and hit it; that particular Test ball is probably a few generations back. The current Test ball is likely the new 2024 AVX. From the looks of the one you found, it wasn't hit much before it ended up in the bushes

Ya there isnt a mark on it , for me its more valuble to keep in my collection and just put brand new balls in the bush haha

Play it, those of white box test balls. They are sent out periodically to be tested by select individuals. In return they are asked to report back to Titleist on how they perform. As an active member of Team Titleist and one who attends the annual Invitationals, I have participated in the testing a few times. It is a blind test and we never know which ball it is.

I participated in the (what I'm pretty sure is the) AVX rollback ball test a month ago through MyGolfSpy. Ultimately, I made the decision that it wasn't the ball for me and I'd stick with the PV1. But it was still really cool to receive a white box sleeve of "TEST" balls and put them into play. It was an awesome opportunity and I hope I get to do it again!
