This aims to give a slightly lower launch and with less drag to create more of a rainbow flight. For those reasons, TaylorMade has produced the new 2021 TP5x with a slightly softer cast urethane cover that is said to better grip the grooves on wedges for increased spin around the greens with lower launch, while remaining the fastest Tour ball in the TaylorMade lineup. I was fortunate enough to visit the TaylorMade ball plant in South Carolina and witnessed first hand the attention to detail in the construction process, so the precision and quality of finish came as no surprise to me.

Opting for more refinement as opposed to a full re-design, TaylorMade has developed the third generation of the TP5x golf ball to the point it is a serious contender as one of the best golf balls on the market. Previous versions of TaylorMade’s TP5 golf balls were excellent in the wind for stability and the 2021 TP5x is still one of the best for this. However the control was still pretty good though thanks to the cast urethane cover which is a feature of balls like this in the premium golf ball sector. In on-course testing, the TP5x golf ball stopped pretty quickly, but around the greens it did not seem like a high spinning ball with lots of check. The new dimple design has a unique 'dual-radius shape' that decouples dimple volume from depth to optimise airflow around the golf ball during flight, which is said to ultimately reduce drag and promote distance. What's new in the 2021 model is Tour Flight Dimple Pattern, a 322-dimple design that features a shallow overall dimple to improve aerodynamics and reduce drag during ascent. Each model is designed to optimize performance in various aspects of the game, from distance and control to spin and feel. TaylorMade Golf Balls: Which Model Should I Choose? This ball offers a firmer feel compared to its sibling, the TaylorMade TP5 golf ball, but if you are after a more 'clicky' feel around the greens and powerful 'thud' from the tee, the TP5x golf ball is for you. This uses strategically placed graphics to assist with alignment and to give feedback on ball roll. This article has them at its very center and from this point on we talk about the differences, similarities, features, and uses of these two amazing golf products.

His golfing highlights are making albatross on the 9th hole on the Hotchkin Course at Woodhall Spa, shooting an under-par round, playing in the Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour and making his one and only hole-in-one at the age of 15 - a long time ago now! With a rich history of creating high-quality golf equipment, TaylorMade golf balls have become a go-to choice for players of all skill levels, from beginners to tour professionals and are now a serious rival to the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls. TaylorMade continues to use the High-Flex Material that featured in the 2019 balls, which was built to efficiently convert compression into ball speed.

If you use an insert putter then this firmer ball might give you the audible feedback you need to judge the speed of putts. Callaway Epic DriverWant to increase ball speed? The distance performance comes from four increasingly stiffer layers underneath the cover using ‘High-Flex Material’ to increase speed and the distance was pretty consistent with what I would expect from my clubs so any gain is marginal. The five-piece balls have four increasingly stiff layers wrapped in a cast urethane cover. However, the performance has been upgraded to match the all-new design of the 2021 TP5/TP5x with the Tour Flight Dimple Pattern, larger/more reactive core (TP5) and softer urethane cover (TP5x). The new TP5/TP5x Yellow will be available at retail on 9th April and the new TP5/TP5x Pix will be available from the 7th May. The TaylorMade TP5x dozen boxes come in the usual 1, 2, 3, 5 numbers in white, yellow and also the Pix pattern. I found the yellow paint to scuff easier than the white. TP5 still provides a softer feel of the two balls as well as increased greenside spin and a lower launch in comparison to TP5x, which is faster, longer and higher launching. The Tri-Fast Core features a low-compression inner core and a progressively stiffer outer core and mantle, with the result being soft feel but exceptional velocity and lower spin rates on full shots, as well as optimal energy transfer at impact.
