The higher the first number , i.e, TB5 , TC7 etc, the higher the difficulty level or rather the lower the handicap or more accomplished player they're intended for. So TC7 are aimed at a scratch or lower cap guy and the TB5's would be aimed at higher handicap. That's with irons, not sure about wedge numbers. https://www.fourteengolf.us/collections/frontpage About halfway down it talks about sequencing , 3 , 5 , 7 . Having said all that, I played the TB-7's for a bit and thought they were super easy to hit .

Not a habit but I've kept one or two, once in a while there would be something obscure that I'd never buy but wanted to try out. Usually it's the range balls that you get for warm up before actually playing, many courses just have baskets of miscellaneous oddballs. I assumed it was found on that course anyway so isn't it just recycling? For as many range buckets as I've had through the years with cracked balls, no dimples, and all the ones I've left behind because I wasn't trying to finish a bucket before teeing off, I don't feel guilty.

Back when you could buy the Titleist X-outs at DSG and GG, I always saw the ProV1X+. Played it a few times and it wasn't a fit for me, I recall talking to someone about it when Titleist was doing a fitting somewhere , back when the Left Dash was more of a myth, and he said the plus was designed to fly higher and that Webb Simpson was playing it . Hard to believe but that was probably 10 years ago?
