The official equipment counts from this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational are in - and the numbers are convincing.
Of the 123 players competing at Bay Hill Country Club this week, 84 are trusting a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success, six times the nearest competitor with 14.
Titleist is also the top choice in the driver category, with 32 Titleist models in play. Of those Titleist drivers, 27 were TS models (TS2 - 7 | TS3 - 20).
Titleist is also the #1 choice among players in hybrids (17) and irons (30). Vokey Design Wedges also topped the approach, sand and lob wedge category with 1497 Vokey models in play.

I was begging for it to get over the bunker. It did and rolled in. Completely lucky and I am grateful for it! Haven’t had much luck recently, sign of good things to come.”
