While I’m sure many were hoping that Titleist’s next big ball announcement would be the full retail availability of the Pro V1 Left Dot, the addition of AVX and Pro V1x Left Dash to the RCT lineup will have to serve as the next best thing.

About RCT Golf Balls

As a quick refresher, Titleist debuted RCT (radar capture technology) earlier this year with the release of Pro V1 RCT and Pro V1x RCT.

Developed by Titleist in partnership with TrackMan, the idea behind RCT is to provide better spin resolution and, ultimately, more reliable spin data in indoor and limited-flight environments where the ability of Doppler-based launch monitors to accurately capture spin rates is otherwise a little dicey.

The key to the technology is a special mark printed on the mantle layer (under the urethane cover) of the golf ball. In addition to eliminating the need for one of those silly metal dot stickers, RCT simply works better.

In today’s episode of Golf Science we’re diving in on groove sharpening and whether or not it can breathe new life into your old wedges. We conducted a test with 15 different golfers – guaranteed one to match your game.
