I’m trying to decide between the TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x golf balls and would love to hear opinions from those who’ve played with them. I’m particularly interested in the following aspects:
Performance Characteristics:
Feel: How do the two compare in terms of softness or feedback on impact?
Control: Which ball offers better control around the greens?
Spin: How do they differ in spin rates, especially with wedges?
Distance: Is there a noticeable difference in distance off the tee?
Compression: How does compression affect performance for different swing speeds?
I swing at about [insert your swing speed] and am looking for a ball that complements my style. Any insights on which ball might suit my game better or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I recently switched from TP5 to TP5x. The TP5x definitely gave me more ball speed and distance, especially off the tee. It really feels lively on impact too!
Actually, the TP5 has more spin on approach shots, making it better for those tricky wedge shots. If you prioritize short game control, TP5 might be your friend!
It’s great to see everyone sharing their experiences! I love the TP5 for its feel, but the TP5x does have that extra pop off the driver. Perfect for those long par 5s!
For me, the TP5 feels just right, like it wraps around my ball like a warm hug! But I guess it’s a personal choice—what feels right for one may not be the same for another!
I think the choice between TP5 and TP5x really comes down to your playing style. Are you more of a distance golfer or someone who concentrates on precision?
At the end of the day, it’s about what suits your game best! Both balls have their unique strengths. Maybe try both and see what feels right under different conditions.
I’ve been playing with the TP5 for a while now and love the feel around the greens. The feedback is excellent, especially on chips and putts. I prefer its softer feel. Anyone else have thoughts on that?
I’ve tried both TP5 and TP5x. The TP5x feels a bit firmer, but I like the extra distance on my drives. It’s a trade-off for touch around the greens though.
I initially preferred the TP5 for its softer feel, but after trying the TP5x, I found I can still get good feel and feedback around the greens. It just took a bit of getting used to!
I love the TP5x for longer shots, but around the greens, the TP5 gives me that satisfying feel when I make the right contact. It’s all about how you prioritize distance vs feel, I suppose.
I’ve found that the TP5 feels very responsive on the greens, but I’ve heard some say the TP5x offers better spin. Which one do you think holds more backspin on approach shots?
