TaylorMade first launched its newest line of TP5 and TP5X golf balls in 2016. Since then, the response has been impressive. Both pro and casual players have taken to the features of both models and have found that they surpass the features and benefits in TaylorMade’s Tour Pro line.
Some of the TP5’s and TP5X’s features include:
- Five layers of construction
- Higher ball flight
- Optimum level of spin
- Soft cast urethane cover
- Lower drag
- Longer distance
The five layers of construction is what truly allows this ball to shine. It gives you the best of both worlds since the soft cast urethane cover allows the club to maintain a better grip on the ball, and the firm interior layers allow for more precision, higher ball flight and longer distances. Five layers of construction mean more control; you can enjoy the best of both worlds with the TP5 and TP5X.
Differences Between TP5 and TP5X
The biggest difference between the TP5 and TP5X is the softness of the exterior. The TP5 golf ball has a soft cast urethane cover, and the TP5X has a slightly stiffer cast urethane cover. The TP5X’s firmer cover allows for more speed, a higher trajectory and less spin. You’ll get a much more powerful trajectory and more distance with the TP5X than you would with the TP5. The TP5 has a .040" cast urethane cover thickness while the TP5X has a .020" cast urethane cover thickness.
