When we played at Windaroo recently they gave us all a Sleeve of Titleist DT SoLo. I figured they were like the DT's that were around 10+ yrs ago - rocks, so I tossed em straight into the bargain barrel at home, destined for the practice bag or kids.
Anyway I took one out the other day and was mildly surprised, it has a very soft feel, yet retained a lot of spin, managed to zing quite a few on hard country course greens. But as it wasnt my home course i couldnt compare for distance.
I gather this is Titleist's version of the "Lady Precept" which was a huge hit. Having only used the ProV1 for about 4 years it maybe time to keep some option's open.
Have any of you other blokes tried this ball - what do you think?

Hi Blakey!
Just converted to the Solo from the Noodle. Have used the Lady before but not enough distance. Plus the writing looks more cool

I used to play them. Nice ball until you want to stop them on anything that isn't soaked with water. I prefer the NXT Tour now, longer, softer, more spin & about the same price.

Apparently the same ball can feel soft to one player and hard to another depending on swing speed.
They talk about it here in Golf For Women (a GD mag):

i didn't think so Blakey. In fact, after playing the ProV1's.. i thought the SoLo's felt like crap. Originally Posted by markTHEblake

Speaking of second hand golf balls, I once played golf with someone who claimed that using bleech would get rid of any discolouring and make them appear like new once again. Has anyone tried this? Does it also chew off the paint as well?
Kind regards,
Ben (Ducky).

Dt Solo....
Longer than Topflite XL, softer and more spin around the green than Wilson Ultra.... but it turn yellow/grey faster than any ball I played.
And I realise that if you are good enough, you can wear the cover a lot faster. It seems the cover will be "eaten" by the air when its flying
But if you lost ball as fast as I do, that's no problem
