Golf is about individual feel and about perception.
I don't hit a nitro because just looking at the name gives me a negative feeling. You want the ball you hit to give you a positive feeling. Part of the sacred script is the font for Titleist.
I enjoy driving a BMW even though I only drive 6,000 miles a year. So what!
What a player should play on paper and what he likes to play may be 2 different things. It's a feel good thing. If it weren't, then why are folks with 8 handicaps or more playing PXG.
Over priced just like a BMW.
If you try to make sense out of golfers you're going down the wrong road. At any level, you play that which makes you feel the best. Lessons and not equipment are the best road for improvement.

You're probably 98% correct. There's hardly a golfer in The Villages, who benefits from the playing characteristics and consistency of Titleist golf balls.
There are even fewer, whose golf game justifies the nearly $5/per ball cost. Based on the number of Titleists I find, apparently there's a whole lot of "ego purchasing" going on.
