Our private club uses that rule once/yr in an official USGA rules tourney. Makes everyone buy extra sleeves of balls because no one usually follows that. I joke around and say the pro institutes that to make some ball sales, lol.

I believe by the rule, i.e., same type, if you use ProV1x, you can't substitute ProV1. Isn't that what that Titleist commercial alludes to with the guy in Scotland....who has that ghost appear during a tournament (different commercial in the series) and finds out he's playing a NXT Tour instead of an NXT? (because another guy whited out the "tour")

Presumably the intention is to stop players pulling a different ball by type of hole, so you get out a high spinning ball when you play a tight par three and a rock when you have a driveable par four or par five you can reach.
