jlukes 12,376 #1 Posted January 3, 2019 Please use this thread for all discussions, impressions and reviews of the new version of the TP5 & TP5x golf balls from TaylorMade The new TP5 and TP5x golf balls will be available at retail on February 15th. NEW SPEED-LAYER SYSTEM The new 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. NEW HIGH-FLEX MATERIAL (HFM) The 2019 TP5/TP5x feature a new material called HFM—delivering for higher ball speed through a greater rebound effect. HFM acts like a tightly wound spring that builds energy and rebounds quickly, generating more ball speed.

dpgolf36 92 #3 Posted January 3, 2019 I hope the cover durability is better than the previous TP5 and TP5X. I purchased a box of TP5x last year and had cover issues with 2 of the sleeves. I will give the new ones a try and hope for the best. Maybe I will finally take the AVX out of the bag this year if they work out. 1 Quote Titleist 917 D2 9.5 Aldila Rogue Max Low X stiff flex Cobra F8+ 3-4 Wood 2knv green shaft Srixon U65 18 Steel Fiber i110x Srixon U65 4 iron Nippon Modus 3 Tour 120 X stiff Srixon 765 5-PW Nippon Modus 3 Tour 120 X stiff flex standard length/ 1 degree flat Vokey 52/56/60 Bettinardi SS28 Center Shafted Putter Srixon Zstar XV 2019 Right Handed Champaign, IL USGA handicap index 22.1 Twitter: @darrenp36 Instagram: @dpow36 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GB13 7,762 #4 Posted January 3, 2019 Of all the TM releases coming up, this is the one I am most excited about. I don't know whether that is from my love of the old TP5 or my disdain for the new M5/6 releases. The original TP5 was one of my top 2 ball choices last year. All I want to see out of the new TP5 is better feel. I think the old TP5 was marketed at 75? compression. It felt like a 90 compared to every other ball around 75. If they fixed that, I may have a new gamer...

Rtracymog 614 #5 Posted January 3, 2019 I tried a few of the TP5x last year and I couldn’t stand them. I couldn’t get them to spin off the irons or out of the rough at all. It felt fine and the distance was definitely there, but I don’t want all of my shots from the rough like knuckleballs.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Cortex w/Aldila Rogue Silver 110 MSI 70X Tipped 1" F5 17 degree hybrid w/Rogue Black 85X C300 Forged 3-5 w/C-Taper 130X FG Tour V6 5-6 w/C-Taper 130X Staff Model Blade 7-PW w/C-Taper 130X RTX4 52, 56, 60 w/S400 Tour Issue ER7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rtracymog 614 #14 Posted January 4, 2019 I used to play the LDP blacks and the first couple generations of the Pentas and loved them. I had issues with this ball and the last generation of Nike with the micro dimples that really seemed to fly and carry like crazy.

perseveringgolfer 4,790 #15 Posted February 22, 2019 Tried the TP5x today- straight out the box and compared to a new Prov1 the TM is whiter. Titleist have always had a yellowing/dulling issue after a few holes so the TM wins that contest. With driver/4wood and irons I liked the sound and feel. With the putter it felt very soft. Off the fairway it didnt spin that much, out the rough it flew further than expected, possibly very low spin. With the driver however the flight and length was good but every drive spun back about a foot, yes the ground was soft but playing partners using Callaway Chrome soft had run out and no spin back. I'm going to use the TP5 tomorrow and see if it's any different/better.

cwojtowicz 67 #19 Posted March 3, 2019 I was pretty excited to try these out because I really liked the previous TP5x and played it for most of last year but I was a little disappointed when I tried them out today. It was a cold day here (30 degrees) so I'll probably give them another shot when it warms up but my first impression wasn't great. There was a decent breeze that I was playing into on some of the holes and the ball seemed like it was ballooning on mid and low irons shots into the breeze and coming up significantly short. I tried out the old TP5x on a few of the same shots and it didn't seem to have the same issue. Conversely, when I was down breeze, this ball really took off and was a little unpredictable. Has anyone else seen similar behavior? The short game feel and behavior felt similar to last year's ball and I liked the spin around the greens. I didn't really notice much of a difference with the driver. I hit both side by side on a few holes and the distance was within a few yards.
