Congrats to: Walkerjames Dru_ TK3 Lambo DDelise As soon as I have contact info from everyone I'll get the info passed along to TaylorMade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Post: Hey all, we're spinning up another round of forum testing. Sorry, this time around is not quite as exciting as the RocketBladez irons that 3 MyGolfSpy Community Members are currently putting through their paces, but we still think it's a great opportunity to be among the first to try out something new...and potentially really good. Please don't apply if you've got winter bearing down on you and you wont be able to spend some quality time with the ball. For the rest of you...just to make this fun, tell us: If cost were no object, what golf ball would be in your bag right now Have you played previous TaylorMade Golf Balls (brief details please) Have at it...

I am going to go with the Epon Tour F4. Love the irons and they are unique enough that if someone takes your ball there will be no denying it. I have been a huge fan of the entire penta series and a red ldp player until they vanished from the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also previously used the ole TM TP Black from 2008. I like the sound and the feel of the Penta TP and seem to get the best distance overall with the Penta TP Thanks for the chance to be a tester.

Tyk Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 My favorite ball is the Callaway I(s) but it cuts to easily, so I played the Hex Black all year, it's a good ball, fairly durable but doesn't spin with the wedges and irons quite like the I series did. In fact it reminds me a bit of the first series TM Penta, which I played most of last season. Liked the Penta and would have played it this year too had Callaway not improved the durability with the Hex Black. I'd be happy to test some TaylorMade balls! We should still have some good days left here through December, if it's like last winter, we'll be golfing all year again!

Jballmn Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 If cost were no object I would play Titleist ProV1. It has been the most consistent ball for me for several years, and think it really performs the best around the greens. I've played all the TaylorMade balls from the Inter Gel to the new Penta's and Rocketballz. My favorite TM ball would definitely be the TP Black LDP. Wish I had more of those around! Thanks!

Walkerjames Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 If price was no object penta tp5 for sure. I played the rocketballz ball and was not a fan. But I do play penta 5( the old one) as my regular ball. Would love to have the chance to test the new ball.

RoverRick Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I play the Pro V1x and the Penta and Penta TP5. If money were no object, I would play the Pro V1x or the TP5. I go back and forth on this issue, I switch if I am not playing well. I seem to play better with one one day and the other the next. I am not sure if the problem is the ball or me. Probably the ball. Yes, obviously I have played a Taylormade ball.

labillyboy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 For the rest of you...just to make this fun, tell us: If cost were no object, what golf ball would be in your bag right now Taylormade Penta (and cost IS no object for me) Have you played previous TaylorMade Golf Balls (brief details please) I played the Gel balls (when hit hard they flew like knuckleballs) Taylormade TP Black and Red which I preferred to the Pro V1x that was my previous ball. I made the switch to the Penta after getting some pre production samples to try. I have stuck with them (now the TP5 which was an improvement) not really finding anything significantly better all round which is this balls strength. I try every pro line ball that comes out and the Penta has held it's own since July '09. I have broken several Titleist Pro V1x and 3 Penta's literally cracked in half... still have the Penta's in a drawer, been meaning to send them back to Taylormade...

JBones Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Not applying cause I've had the good fortune to test the irons, but I will answer. If cost were no object, what golf ball would be in your bag right now - Wilson Staff FG Tour Have you played previous TaylorMade Golf Balls (brief details please) - Original Penta - TP Red LDP Same here, but I'll play along. If cost were no object..... - Luckily, I'm decent enough that I don't lose a whole lot of balls, so I don't worry about cost, but it'd be my current gamer, the Penta TP3. Have you played previous TM balls - Every Penta model and the old Burner TP red/black. Good luck guys, have fun with it.

Kanoito Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Nice! I'm flying to Asia in 1 month and will stay there about 6-8 weeks... no winter for me! If cost were no object, I would still play the Srixon ZStar (new ones instead of lakeballs ) When I purchased my MP59, the guy at the shop messed up the grip sizes, so he sent me 6 dozens of the old Penta to make up for it. Very nice gesture and I still have about 60 balls left.

Kanoito Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Man, that's sweet Steven. The guy screwed up 6 of the 8 grips on my 68s & he tried to give me 3 second tier Nike gloves that were in a box leavin the floor anyway. LoL The balls were pretty neat and he also gave me 3 x Mizuno Bioflex All-weather that I wouldn't recommend to anybody.

TWShoot67 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I play all year so if it's happening soon I'd like to try out the ball if it's supposed to be the newer Penta. If cost was no object it would be the ProV 1 X, but I also like the TM Penta and have been actually playing that ball more then the Prov1x. Price does come into play when I can get the Penta for 30.00 a dz vs. 45.00 for Prov1x The Bag: Right handed Cobra King FLYZ+ 10.5* w/ Aldila Rogue 125 R 44.5" Tour Issued TM M2 10.5 w/ Mitsubishi Tensi CK Pro Blue 60S Tour Issued TM M2 15* w/ GD Tour AD 7S 43" TM R7 17.5 HFS w/ Tour AD 7S Stiff 42" Cobra S3 Pro's 4-pw w/ Aldila RIP Tours SLT 115 Reg. 5i 38.5" Titleist Vokey Proto's 52*,54*,58* all TTDG S-400 TM TP5 X Scotty Cameron SSS Tiffany 009 350 34.5" or Bettinardi BB1 DASS Proto GHIN # 5144472 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
