TaylorMade TP5 & TP5x Golf Balls (White, Yellow, Pix)

Product Information

The key to achieving enhanced speed without negatively affecting spin performance comes from TaylorMade’s proprietary 5-layer ball construction. Including a larger and more reactive Tri-Fast Core that delivers maximum carry and low drag and a Dual-Spin Cover that features an ultra-soft, highly durable cast urethane cover, TP5 offers complete tee-to-green performance without sacrifice. The ultimate result is a ball that promotes a fast launch, maximum carry distances and a steep angle of descent for extra stopping power – especially on long irons. There were yet more distance increases off the tee, an area where any golfer is looking to maximize, as Golf Monthly testing conjured up an extra six yards of carry. This was thanks to slightly more speed off the face and less spin. The Speed-Layer System is comprised of four increasingly stiff layers to produce more ball speed. The result is more carry distance off the tee, more control in the wind, and more spin around the greens.

The most notable difference when it came to feel was around the greens. Testing the TP5x, it definitely does feel firmer than the TP5, which some may prefer as you get a louder sound at impact. Bauer Media Group consists of : Bauer Consumer Media Ltd, Company number 01176085; Bauer Radio Limited, Speed Layer System with HFM – Four increasingly stiff layers deliver higher ball speed and greater rebound at impact TP5x is the fastest and longest ball in the current TaylorMade line-up, with a firmer feel and higher launch on iron shots. In addition, it has more greenside spin than the prior generation with a new and softer cast urethane cover.Because of the soft urethane cover, you would think that the Pix may struggle off the tee. However, you couldn't be more wrong, with the TP5 rivaling that of the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1X. This new dimple pattern is designed to increase aero which results in greater carry distances by reducing drag in the assent and producing a steeper and faster descent for greater overall distance.

Both feature a urethane cover, but it is the Pix that edges the Tour Response in the control department, with the more premium model providing better stopping power and control when around and hitting into the greens. We were seriously impressed by the TP5's feel though and, arguably, it is the golf ball's strongest factor! A number of the best premium golf balls on themarket can boast a solid combination of distance and spin, but the feel of the TP5 would be hard to match.The key to achieving enhanced speed without negatively affecting spin performance comes from TaylorMade's proprietary 5-layer ball construction.
