That’s been my concern as well! I guess it’s all about finding your comfort level with the balls over time.
Both balls can be great depending on your game. I just wish the TP5’s price was a little more budget-friendly! Does anyone else feel the same?
Haha, right? It feels like buying premium golf balls is like an expensive habit. But it’s worth it for the feel!

I’ve been looking at the TP5 and TP5X, and the price difference makes a big impact. The TP5 is usually around $45 a dozen, while the TP5X can go up to $50. It’s a small gap, but it adds up! Worth considering how often you lose balls.
That’s a great point, ecobb! If you’re a frequent golfer, those extra $5 per dozen can be a big deal. You should weigh the performance benefits versus your budget.
From my experience, the TP5 feels softer and is great for players who like to control their spin, while the TP5X has a firmer feel suitable for distance seekers. Which one fits your playing style? Are you aiming for more distance or control?

I’m more of a distance-focused player, so the TP5X sounds appealing to me. But, I wonder if I would lose that feel around the greens.
I think skill level is crucial here. If you’re just starting out, the TP5X may offer better value since it compensates for swing inconsistencies, but the TP5 really shines for more advanced players who can control the ball’s spin.
That’s a fair analysis, ryangonzalez! But don’t forget personal preference. Some players just feel better with one ball over the other regardless of skill level.

Considering the price and performance, it’s hard to overlook the TP5X, especially if you’re looking for that extra distance without sacrificing too much control. Plus, they’re both great options!
I was surprised by how much the differences show up on the course! Personally, the TP5 suits my touch. But if you often lose balls like me, maybe consider which one gives peace of mind. Save those $5 for a round of drinks after!
But will you always notice that extra $5 in value? Maybe just go for the TP5, especially if you’re still figuring things out!
I used to think the price was everything, but once you find the right ball, the consistency and feel can pay off more than those extra bucks. It’s all subjective, folks!
It’s a bit of a dilemma, isn’t it? You want performance but not to break the bank! Just remember to factor in how much you play and how much you lose on average. Humor me – anyone ever found a TP5 ball while hunting for lost ones?
