Ball Tiger used in 2000 vs his competitors

[widp2010]

What ball was Tiger using in 1999-2000 vs what the other guys were playing? This is when the pro v and other like balls started coming out. I was wondering if maybe he had a better ball for a little bit then, and had never seen anything written on it.

I seem to remember reading that the Nike ball that Tiger was using was one of a kind at the time it came out, then eventually (a few months?) the other manufacturers caught up with the technology.

I could be wrong though.

All Nike balls were made by Precept for the first few years. Precept basically pioneered solid core premium balls.

He experimented with the Nike Tour Accuracy at the German Deutsche Bank tournament, which was like May. He used it at Pebble Beach. The prov1 then came out late in the summer and was introduced I think at the Las Vegas event, and virtually all the Titleist ball players switched.

Before he switched he was using a Titleist Professional.
