This New BUDGET TaylorMade Golf Ball SHOCKED ME – But It’s NOT PERFECT!

I think it’s fair to say these brand new tailor made golf balls are going to split opinion right straight away that one’s not far away is absolutely insane but realistically oh now I must admit that shocked me hi everyone my name is James Robinson welcome back to this YouTube channel

Today we have the brand new tailor made speed soft ink golf balls and as you can see they come in a variety of colors are these golf balls just a little bit of a party piece from tailor made or should you seriously think about using them in

2024 today we are out on the gorgeous island of tenie at amarilla Gulf I’m going to put these Balls to the test and see if they a little bit of a joke or something more serious so guys do me a favor and get in the comments below and let me know what

Golf balls are you currently using in 2024 would you consider using this new offering from tailor made and what do you think to the colors you can see I’ve got three of them here I also have some pink ones in the cart what color is your favorite and do you think these are

Going to work well two-piece ball it’s not a europee cover and this isn’t a premium offering from Tade this is more of a budget option at 26 a dozen so right 180 yard par three gorgeous looking hole let’s see how close we can get with the speed ink

Right straight away that Ball’s launched so high in there it felt quite soft actually and that one’s not far away from being the perfect shot with these new tailor made balls I’m a huge fan of tailor maid thinking a little bit outside the box tailor maid have come on

Leaps and Bounds with their visual Technologies obviously first of all we had the pics then we had the stripe and now we have this a little bit more out there but again I can’t believe how easy that ball is to launch in the air I’m not really doing anything differently with

Those shots and they’re going nice and high very easily so if you’re looking for an easy launching ball which most golfers would probably help this could be a great option for you that’s two great shots and one pretty good to start with one of them spun back miles and

This isn’t a three-piece urethan ball this isn’t a premium ball all but check this out for one flag High left one which I think was the first shot of the day glorious and has stopped on a dime and then the final one that just kind of came back there so for me realistically

There all you’re really wanting out a golf ball is consistency at this price isn’t it we’re now 140 yards out we’re into the wind can we flight this ball down and how versatile can it be the color systems here aren’t the only talking point you actually have an extended flight pattern that’s a

Shallower U-shaped dimpo that increas increases the volume ratio and the seamless 322 dimple pattern increases dimple coverage the result a ball that potentially flies further alongside the new power core which is a faster core material developed for additional distance now that’s all good and well

But does it work we’re going to find out today we’re also going to see if we can flight down this a from 140 you can hear the wind now it’s really really strong a little low draw should be perfect here straight away that Ball’s popped up in

The air it’s going to be okay but it’s not the low flight that I am wanting it’s a greening regulation so we’re going to tick a box there but I wonder if this Ball’s almost too easy to launch for a lot of golfers that’s better and that’s all

Over it be the club be the club that is delightful one thing I’ll say about these balls is they do feel incredibly soft for a two-piece ball better A lot better so again there although these balls weren’t quite the trajectory I wanted you can see we’ve hit two pretty

Good ones in there that would be birdy opportunities and one of them’s just kind of Spun down to this little Hollow here I can’t believe how much control I am getting with these balls to say how soft they feel and how high they are aren’t you in it’s oh to say how soft

They feel and how high they are launching I’m surprised that I’m still getting the distances that I am getting make sure you stay tuned to see just how they do perform with driver coming up but let’s see what they like around the greens cuz this is where so many golfers

Often don’t think too much about what ball they’re using and again that stopped absolutely immediately it wasn’t even a great strike and again on a six P could this be cuz you see when tailor made introduced toour response I was shocked as to just how good it was and how I basically put

It in the bag cuz I didn’t think it would be cuz it’s not tailor made premium ball this might be a slightly different matter because it’s a two-piece ball and the stripe technology for me is a game changer but then I guess for the right golfer the ink

Technology could be a game changer as well come on in oh it felt so good so guys we are now back in the Glorious UK um unfortunately we couldn’t stay in ten forever we’re going to do the driver testing here because I’m really interested to see

Just how good these balls can be with driver both for numbers and out here on the golf course where it truly counts I’m a huge believer here that I like what Taylor May doing I like that they’re introducing new colors new designs but the big thing it can’t be is

It cannot be a gimmick it has to be a performing ball it’s only two-piece ball it’s still not the cheapest ball in the world so are you paying quite a bit of money for a fairly average ball with a lovely pattern on it let’s test that

With drive it was so easy to launch with irons out in tenie let’s see how easy it is to launch with driver now I must admit that shocked me because I didn’t expect that to come out that low or that powerfully if that’s even the right word I thought that was

Going to climb up in the air with quite High spin we’re into the wind today as you all know this is a hole that I really enjoy testing drive on because uh I hate the hole so I have to hit a good drive Chris is also down there on the

Right hand side so if this goes near we might have to shout four quite loudly can we hit the same ball flight Ah that’s the higher one and that’s just leaking to the right nothing to do with the ball really I mean if I show you where I’ve hit that out of

Certainly wasn’t the best that was more of an anti- don’t hit chis swing but you can see the difference there in the two strike locations one of them absolutely centered and the other one quite High out the toe which has made the face gear open one thing I will say is the balls

Feel good they feel they don’t feel like they’re a cheap material which sometimes when a golf ball isn’t urethan it feels a little bit cheap a little bit plasticky that’s not the case here I think tlid have done a really good job in making let’s be fair what is still a

Pretty affordable ball with a little bit of a splash of color that can still potentially perform well for a lot of golfers sit this is what I mean about this hole lovely ball like that I think the balls went really well unfortunately that might well be one of these first golf

Balls in the world in the pond I do hate losing new golf ball you know when it’s something new with like a logo that’s one thing which I must admit I almost puts me off using balls like this because I don’t like losing them say if

It’s a ball with my name on or a ball that’s fresh out and it’s brand new and it’s something really special I was film The more pressure playing with them I don’t know if that’s just me maybe it is do you feel Under Pressure using golf

Balls with logos on them let me know in the comments below one thing I will say is they’re very easy to spot at least we only lost one now one thing that I find really interesting having tested these balls both here in the UK and out in a very windy blustery

Tenie it’s quite windy today actually as well well these balls do react quite well in the elements it’s not something I would anticipate a two-piece ball to be doing even when it comes to launching pitching shots like this we’re about 60 70 yards out here and if I launch this

Speed softball out there to check what it’s called then cuz the name’s a little bit Blas I think the name I think the tour response and soft response names are a bit poor as well so I think tp5 is a fantastic name could we go tp3 tp2

Then you know what order they’re in potentially like because of how many pieces the ball is but we look at the speed soft here and I can play a low one in there and that felt delightful as well it stopped nicely very very difficult flag to get at and that’s

Actually spun back a little bit there if I hit the same ball I can launch it nice and high if I want to I can open the club face up and just launch it nice and up in the air again felt pretty nice that’s all over the flag

Oh I thought that gone in but I mean the the now in my title for this video I might well use the term terminology shocked or something like that because yes the ball has performed how I want it to it’s easy to launch you can still

Play it down with driver if you have the right technique and you can also play Shots like that look where that’s pitched and look where it’s finished so now if we look at to response ball which is a slightly more expensive ball it’s still not tailor Mage premium tp5 this is my

Ball of choice I really enjoy the urethene cover the three-piece ball and of course the stripe technology this is one thing which I will admit I think tailor made are certainly number one at visible technology on golf balls I have no doubt saying that Callaway try very

Very hard but for me tailor made nail it with the amount of feedback you can get in performance whereas I feel like potentially this version with the splash ink does that help as much we’ll have a look in a second but if I come back to ball flights here with the tour response

I’ll play a low one again I can play that nice and low it’s going to startop nicely I’ve learned a little bit more for the distance control so that’s just because I’m picking up on that came short on the first one and then if I want to play a nice and high one

Again we can do that nicely that’s all over the flag once again that one’s just finished a little bit long but I certainly don’t feel a huge difference in these balls to say one’s a urethene three-piece B the other one’s a two-piece ball that’s made of Cheaper construction I think they’ve done a

Pretty good job with this I really do and I hope it’s going to entice more people to potentially think about what ball they’re using maybe because of the visual technology or maybe because of the price we’re certainly taking this for the price aren’t we look at that for

Stop control from a two-piece golf ball now long before I went to if I tested these golf balls in the studio to see just how they did perform for numbers against a tailor made tp5x pick that’s a golf ball which I’ve used quite regularly I really enjoy using I use it

For all my indoor testing with it being a five piece low spin ball as you can see inter that’ll be really interesting the cheaper ball actually did I’m not going to say it pulled a penny trees it did okay for spin the ball speed was a little bit lower than

The tp5 as you can imagine resulting in a little bit less distance both caran Total but for the price this is a golf ball that’s almost half the price of a tp5 and it has a nice little cool color system on it I think really this Ball’s

Doing exactly what Taylor Made want it to do for the money having tested this ball I am quite quite impressed with it but mainly not because of the visual technology just because the properties it has and the ball flat I was getting now I think I would still go with the to

Response you look at the feedback you can get on the role of the to response I feel like that’s certainly why I would be using that golf ball that one missed but I know it was a good roll and the pace was good I just underere it so I’m

Ticking off what I need to know there now if we look at this speed soft and we look at the the ink the splash ink that’s on there I’m not sure this gives us the same kind of feedback like it’s certainly telling you and this nothing to do with missing

The put but it’s certainly telling you a little bit of something but I don’t think it’s as clear as the pics I don’t think it’s as clear as the tour response but I don’t really see it as technology I see it as a bit of fun but

Realistically I like I I don’t see how that gives me as much feedback as this and obviously the tour response is more expensive the Pix golf balls on the tp5 is more expensive are they going to put this Splash ink potential on a tp5 or on

A tour response I’m not so sure but I really enjoy the feedback that that gives us guys thank you so much for watching let me know would you buy these brand new tailor made golf balls and would you put them in the bag for 2024

Apart from that I’ll see you all at the same time tomorrow goodbye

  1. I prefer a classic white ball. Will stick to my Seed ball. Great feeling and love the black alignment simple line. Still not sure which one i prefer between the sd01 and sdx1 tho…

  2. I use the Callaway superfast. You get 15 for 25-30 bucks and it's plenty soft around the green, and doesn't spin like crazy with the woods. Super underrated

  3. Budget they are not, the golf ball market is highly competitive and these aren’t, so no thanks

  4. Currently using the tour response because it replaced my favorite TM ball the project-a but Iv been wanting to try out the speed soft so thank you for this video.

  5. It’s a premium budget ball. They look and perform great. For certain people. It’s a factually good ball. But it’s not a ball for me as a guy that plays TP5X/ chrome tour X/ prov1x

  6. Last year, I played Kirkland. But over the winter off-season, I got new gear and looked into balls for my slower swing speed, as I felt the Kirkland were sometimes hurting my hands. Haven’t hit a course yet but I got some Srixon Soft Feels so I’m looking forward to trying them.

  7. I like the ink splash. It looks good but i would still have to putt with the tour response. The alignment aid is alot better.

  8. I currently play the Bridgestone Tour B, RXS. I play these because I went through their "in person" testing a few years ago. I do like the looks of this new TM ball. They retail for $26.00 at my club. Literally, 1/2 the price of the TP series balls. Completely different target audience.

  9. Im 2 and a half years into golf, so still basically new. From the get go i was told don't worry about balls because you'll lose them and i agree. But then as i started to improve i realised after hearing something like "the golf ball is the only consistent thing you can get in golf" i understood that. so started using Pro V1, now playing off 14. Lose like 1 ball a round, if that. i tried the tour response stripe the other week as want to improve putting and love the stripe guidance. but my high swing speed i cant get on with them compared to Pro V1. I hit driver over 300 yards and the Pro V definitely helps, whereas softer balls seem to come off too spiny for me. So i might give these a go for the price. Thanks for the review as always James

  10. I could definitely see myself trying out those golf balls. I like the look of them, especially the one with the red splashes. I tend to struggle getting height on my shots so that attribute is appealing. The price isn’t too bad either.

  11. Seems they contracted Hunter Biden for the art work on those balls. God, golfers are gullible. I play whatever ball Imfindninnmy playing partner's bag. Haven't bought amball in years

  12. I bought the pink ones for my wife, they are cheap and fun! My life loses balls on a regular basis, so sometimes don’t overthink it! Golf is FUN!

  13. I use tp5x great ball ..looking for a cheaper ball which does close to the same thing ..don’t mind AVX by titiless but way to costly 78.00 back a box??

  14. Looking at them as an alternative to Callaway Supersoft in colder weather but not in the ink version, just the solid yellow. Rest of the year I’m with you, James, in using TM Tour Response Stripe.
