TaylorMade Have FINALLY Made The Ball That KILLS THE PRO-V1!?

In 2024 tailor made claim this is the fastest longest and best all round golf ball money can buy introducing the brand new 2024 tailor made tp5 and tp5x golf balls today we have them to test we’re going to test them in the studio for numbers we’re going to see just if this

Is the brand new number one balling golf stealing the crown off of course tight list and we’re also going to have a bit of a match oh wow you know what possibly that’s got me worried so guys we are joined on the channel today by Gaz Gaz

How are you I’m good thanks yeah so you’re a tp5 player I’m actually a tp5x player so you can see that I’ve got a tp5x variation pack these were the Prototype balls the balls are now live to buy £ 4499 a dozen so not cheap no

But they’re up there with the Proby one cuz they are trying to be the number one bowling golf we’ve got loads of new technology in them actually which I didn’t think Taylor Made would be doing I didn’t think they’d be delving into new technologies in golf balls so you’re

Going to hit a couple of pro sorry I just dropped a ball that’s why I’m like wiping it is brand new but we’re going to have a go today and we’re going to hit some prob ones out here as well and just see if potentially tailor made have

Finally done it and knocked T list off their perch do you want to go first we have a match by the way you I’m use these ones as well with you’re use the pick are right I was going to use the P but I use the normal one then no problem

So I really like the tp5x the x is the kind of lower spinning ball it feels really firm but once you get used to it it’s actually quite nice is there a reason why you’re the standard tp5 um I’ve always just used a Prov V1 so I

Like that like softer feeling bit more higher spinning ball yeah um feeling control out green I find it gives me a slightly better flight window with driver when I use the standard X or the the X not standard X oh that sounded nice just towards that post oh that sounded delightful

Gary First Impressions on the new tp5 um well I mean it felt now nice but do you know visually the reason I’ve gone for that pix one is cuz my eyesight’s getting bad with longer shorts and I remember using a PIX one of the older ones see being able to see it

Fly through the air longer interesting quite interesed to see cuz I might actually have to switch ball because of that I’m actually using a yellow ball at the minute no one wants that today no one wants that well yellow Peril P could be an option right so I’m going to use

The standard tp5x not the Pix version you can see again it is the Proto so I always like stuff like this you know when you see the the Proto on the ball I think it’s quite cool but anyway new alignment eight as well that’s nice and Sleek you don’t want anything more you

Don’t anything less than that let’s see if we can beat Gary with the new tp5x bit further left nice and high ball so is a ureth cover with this five piece ball that’s gone a long way is it yeah that’s gone miles and the one thing I

Like about ureth cover is the ability to flight it down usually you will see it flight out low then the spin rate will cause it it to rise whereas if a ball had a sirine cover or an Iona cover generally the ball launches a little bit

Earlier and then goes to a higher flly they are a lot cheaper as well urethan is the more expensive plastic for a golf ball cover a really interesting discussion now is just how much Taylor Made want the market share from Titleist isn’t it because Titleist are still the

Number one bowling gol the Prov one has been the number one bowling golf for a very very long time probably since records began but Taylor Maid are pushing them and I feel like Callaway are pushing them as well they all want this Market Shar don’t they they all

Want to be the number one ball in golf and Taylor Made bringing out the first ever five piece ball the in initial tp5 I think it worked really well I can’t believe they’ve now added all these little intricate Technologies in it to make it even better to make it longer

Taylor Made claim this is the longest ball ever but then Callaway claimed that the Chrome tour is the best ball ever as well and Titus obviously claim the prov1 is I’ve actually had a couple of sleeves at older TP fs and played them and had an argument that they outperform Pro V1

Yeah but I’ve not had the balls to switch into it excuse the pun you know when you’ve used like Prov for so long yeah and there’ll be people watching it who probably agree it’s hard to switch it is hard to switch and I think massively that is a huge reason why

Titlists are still the number one bing golf not necessarily because they outperform tailor made or Callaway or even the pxg ball but because people trust them the whole marketing trust your Titleist is a very clever way of making people feel like they would be losing out if they switched out whereas

I a big believer go and get fitted for your ball and then go with it but also it’s going to match your budget not everyone’s going to want to go and spend $44.99 on a dozen balls like we have done for these and potentially I mean

How many balls you Reon you lose a season honestly uh probably about three dozen yeah so the 150 quid there and the a you’re a pro so the average gol for might lose six dozen yeah that’s 300 quid it’s a lot of money careful there

Mate don’t slip you’d love to see that I would so just what new features are in this new tp5 Vol it features a new five lay construction and that is tailor May’s largest speed gradient optimizes spin separation between driver longye and Sh and wedges that for the better

Player is an exceptional game because you can fit your flight window a lot better we also have a new speed wrap core and that is a softer sound whilst promoting a faster design I actually feel like this new tp5x does feel a lot softer than last year’s model so for me

If they can make that perform as good maybe a little bit better but feel better and sound better they’re on to a winner straight away we also have a Tor light dimple pattern and we also have the high Flex material HMF that’s basically designed to act like a tightly

Wound spring that builds energy and rebounds quickly generating you guessed it more ball speed I want it is the distance 159 I am front edge I think yeah we’ll have a bit of that now after hitting a few shots out here in the golf course with it and

A few shots in the studio compare in it to last year’s model the X certainly feels softer and that was one of my biggest problems with the tp5x it just felt firm and I don’t mind a firm feeling golf ball you do get used to it but this new generation certainly does

Feel that bit softer and that might open it up to a whole new audience of golf that one that lower spin shot but also that nice soft feel gone after that one that’s going to be probably similar to mine middle short oh middle of the green good effort

That’s a big gap wedge mate that just flicked it down there it it’s like 140 yard gap wedge so when it comes to the price of golf balls what’s your thought cuz you still work in the Pro Shop you still conversing with people about what golf balls they

Want are people happy to come in bang 50 Quid on the desk get a dozen TP fs and then maybe a Snickers and a flat Jack you know what do you know what surprises me so many people buy sleeves of balls which is the worst possible way pay more

They’re paying like 1275 1375 for S pro yeah so many people do it I don’t get it rather than just buying a dozen and then when your dozen’s up yeah so if you buy a dozen you looking at 48 quid so it’s 12 of sleep it’s not a lot cheaper but

Your price match online for 44.99 but if you they do four for promotions they both during the season do call have got it on now actually got it on four doz foot price of that’s the way that do them down a bit doesn’t it yeah cuz I

Mean if you’re using more than four dozen balls a season you you obviously playing a lot of golf but you’ve losing a lot so would you be spending that amount of money probably not no and they’re going to net down to just over 30 a dozen which is expensive yeah it’s

Almost trade yeah I’m looking forward to this shot so I’m going to test this ball for spin now off a gorgeous line see if we can get it to stop nice and close to that flag we’ll make par gazel three put we’ll go one up 56 so this for me is

Where a golf ball is vitally important yes it’s important to know how far your driver goes what spin window is it how does your 7 iron launch but it’s vitally important to know what happens around the greens here how does the ball react and what kind of shots do you like to

Play that was really nice SPO as I wanted it to thought it might break a little more to the right but realistically quite nice and the next question is a very very interesting question how important is it how your golf ball feels with the putter because I honestly think

It’s as important as pretty much anything are you big into your field with the golf ball on a putter oh yeah short game is that’s why I buy Ball I mean obviously I talked about spin numbers off T which but but main thing for me is feel and control it amazes me

When people go for a golf ball fit in and they don’t touch a wedge or a putter cuz I couldn’t use a golf ball that that probably got me out of using the tp5x last year it just didn’t feel that good with the putter that’s why I used a

Stripe cuz it was a soft ureth theme ball yeah I wish we had these with the stripe Tech on them I really do I think it’d be I’d use it straight away I mean I’ve used the stripe anyway I used it all last year just line up pretty well

Though yeah you can almost get a track if you line it up I just find that when I use a strip golf ball it 100% knock scores off my game 100% like when I’ve played my best ever round at CED the lodge I like 24 25 puts wow and it

Probably was down to me just having a good day but also the feedback of the ball yeah yeah well you know what it was a good strike cuz it was bang on its axis you just not hit it yeah oh see I almost feel a bit naked

Using this ball because I like having feedback and I mean that’s okay for an alignment aid but you just don’t really see I’d have to draw a big thick black line on it I think almost similar to the tail made stripe you’ve got this for the

Half mate yeah I feel a bit naked having this for halfz Jesus i w expect you to Rattle that one in I like the new design it were as though you only you knew exactly where it were going at that pace yeah left Edge firm similar to

Yours actually I’m going to do the same then oh side door wow you see that does does look good rolling doesn’t it as well yeah pull that in your pocket Quick aren’t you I have I’m getting out of here I’m getting out of here at level right and

We speak about how important short game is so we’re going to have a bit of a bonus round here guys we’re going to have a chipping competition at the bunker and from here the closest ball gets a bonus point so close ball goes one up for the match you happy with that

With that yeah right these are my exes so we’ll just go three balls I’m going to get the uh the pixes out cuz I’m a huge fan of the pixers and again if you’re would you go with these guys would you go with the more vibrant picks

Or would you go with play then all right I’ll go opposite and interestingly guys when you are deciding what ball to use have a bit of fun with it do what we’re doing here have a couple of challenges see if it can work for you under the pressure cuz that’s essentially what it

Has to do I’m not anticipating this to check too much it’s quite moist with downwind but is it going to release out for me like I want it to so just closest yeah yeah oh you know that one did check nicely did Nott am I going all three yeah and

Then the closest one gets the point didn’t expect that to check as it did they’re they’re checking a lot more than I would give them credit for can send that a bit further there I reckon that stopped it going in as well it turns from

There so I’m going to be honest I I don’t see a lot of check when I’m shipping around the greens my technique isn’t suited to that but they did they check really nicely if you’re looking for a ball I wouldn’t throw it that close I

Mean I’d probably maybe get 50 I don’t I don’t like to throw it that just a little Duff and run well you’ve W to carry it nearly all the way there aren’t you yeah oh nice look how quick that sits down when it lands it’s a shame that

Released out cuz that one would have been fantastic that one were Duffy that will user error yeah this is it then is it this is it oh oh not bad efforts realistically that is one for me so I’ll take that one up um but yeah quite happy with that I

Hold that put earlier so I could probably rely and hold in maybe one of those should we got the bunker and see what like I want to test how they scuff up as well out of Bunker shots cuz there’s nothing worse than spending a lot of money on a golf ball and hitting

It one side of a bunker and then it’s scuffing do you want to go first out of here yeah are we having a close one or a just nearest yeah but I mean is this all right from here yeah there fine m y got a

TEEG do you test balls out of a bunker guys when you uh do you know what I’m guilty of not doing yeah I test them for chipping and and going not the most important but you like to see how it reacts oh how good is that Gary Martin that was filthy

Nice again I I believe you know with an eye on a cover you struggle with that oh delightful that weren’t as good right beat that he says I think more landed angle required you know guys yeah try and get it up a bit much to work with he

Close but again I feel like you need to you need to know what a ball does if you’re trying to play Shots like this what I go through I’m trying to will it I’m trying to will it to Spain I think I’ve already won it to be fair

But certainly having this cover this more expensive cover helps yeah with the only one more challenge we’ll have a we’ve got two more holes haven’t we and we’ve got a long drive on the next right right so we’re going to have a long drive now this is still part

Of the match so we’re still trying to keep this ball in play we’re saying it has to be on The Fairway guys uh or not should we go not I’m just going to say longest just longest and this is interesting because if this tp5 outperformed the tour response strike

Ball that I’m using with a driver would I swap no the answer is because if it did outdo it it might outdo it by three or four yards if that on a launch M to that would look Mega impressive in real life it’s that realistically isn’t it three

Yards to Long strides especially when you built like I am but I think I hold more puts with that ball so I think I shoot lower scores and that’s what golf’s all about isn’t it so right I’ve lost track of where all these balls are guys that’s what I never understand

Sometimes we like ball fittings when they focus so much on driver distance exactly but it’s cuz it’s sexy yeah that’s the whole thing why it’s sexy and you know what I’ll hit one with each potentially these are the balls that I might poent potentially these are the balls

That I might use in 2024 so let’s hit one with each and let’s see the long drive one though for the match or we saying you can hit prov1 as well I’ll h a prov1 yeah right I’ve got pics first we’re going to go over the corner low spin pxg

Driver should be a match made in heaven this that sounded incredible it felt fantastic it’s down there in the Fairway let’s see if we can hit the same shot with the tourist bonds tourist bonsers are cheaper as well so you are going to save a little bit of money if

That’s the ball that you would go for kind of Hit the same shot I don’t think you’re beating that anyway guys right they’re carbon copies of each other the to sponds went a little bit higher I would anticipate that been a three-piece ball I can’t wait to get

Down there and see where they are head to head against each other cuz yes it’s nice to do this on a launch monitor I think it’s better to do it on the golf course so you can see the actual real world results I think you’re struggling

Here mate well we’ll see about that so it’s the bet it’s the longest drive it don’t matter which ball no I think that’s going to make you’re two two down pro1 user sick that is it yeah isn’t it that’s horrendous big high cut well that’s definitely not going to

Win the longest drive because it was not on the right line so it’s down to the tp5 to pull me out the crap oh wow you know what possibly that’s got me worried oh mate that is massive I can see my two balls there yeah and that’s

Like 30 pass that one really did fly and I know you said you were tempted about using a tp5 before if you start seeing drivers like that the the pro one one was just a bad shot wasn’t it well I’ve got to admit I think that this ball now

Does match probably one around the green yeah I think if anybody can argue that it doesn’t then I think the they’re being a bit unrealistic I think I think it literally comes down to having the balls to change brand yeah I can’t said that the chuing him

All over the place Gaz here lobbying protos left right and Center you bang on and to be honest I’m a huge believer as well that the the budget balls perform okay like the Kirkland the seeds all these balls that are still three-piece ureth interesting know tried to make a

Five piece budget European I don’t think you can do it I think it’d be too difficult I haven’t seen a five piece a four piece yeah I have actually um but would you change cuz I think the Trinity so your Callaway your Titus and your

Taylor M I think they’re all as good as each other realistically depending what you want out of a ball yeah I think it does probably come down to budget a little bit I don’t know why we all do it but we all like to save money on balls

For some reason we spend £500 on a driver the only thing you you’re going to lose I mean you should never really lose a a driver unless you you and you launch one but realistically you’re going to lose a couple of golf balls around aren’t you so I mean I’m guilty

Of even buying secondhand balls you at that don’t you I can’t believe how far your drive’s gone there it’s massive mate so some quite interesting results here cuz Gaz has put me realistically about 20 yards on me but my tp5 shot is longer than my T resp spond shot I felt

Like they were both very similar I felt they were both very similar strikes spin rates might Maybe the toris bond was a little bit higher looking at it visually neither of them have had much run out because of the time of year so toris bond has pitched there we’ve got about a

Yard of run out and the tp5 has actually come backwards so realistically that’s pitched quite a long way further yours yeah I mean do you want to talk about that that’s well it felt red hot off face it felt red hot I mean that one of

The things that I noticed with the old tp5 I think it would definitely longer than the Prov V you must have numbers on this I’ve never done any T I’ve tested them I’ve always found them depending how I hit it on the day I I struggle to

Admit if I’m that consistent and I doubt many golfers are when I hit golf shots and I hit 20 30 shots there’s a mile hour in it and there’s maybe a couple of yards in it yeah so you think they’re about same on honestly I think so yeah

They’re all going to be within the same regulations aren’t they yeah I think it’s tough for Brands like T or callow because they’ve not got to just match Proby they’ve got to actually beat it for people to put it in the bag yeah that’s the problem or you know what they

You know what they haven’t they’ve got to be cheaper so I think with the to response and the strap I can’t believe more people aren’t using the to response that’s where that ball was well I’ve got to admit a lot of people use a strip toour response but I

Don’t see many people buying a plane tour response no and you know what I wouldn’t use a plane tour response cuz that a case I’d use a tp5 yeah or a pic cuz I I like the visual I think the visual aid helps right any idea 92 I

Think if I play it a little bit longer cuz you can’t go that flag cuz it’ll spin off the green need to be middle of the green that’s the that is the line wow I don’t think you can play that any better really can you that is going

To be tied cuz that’s a sucker flag that just needs eight foot of spin back and it’s going to be stiff I don’t think we’ll get 8 fet we might get a couple of feet yeah good striking again for a tp5x it felt great it felt

Soft so can’t ask for much more can I I can’t wait to see what happens if this new ball rule comes in guys all this money that the BRS have been spending to get the protos out there and to get new golf balls longer and better than ever I

Hope it doesn’t happen me do you know what we’ve had this conversation uh I think that these could become more valuable because it’s a ball that’s going to go longer than the new ball is it yeah be illegal won’t it is that no one care but just for social goal for

Messing about I think it’s put yeah but whenever I do a video on uh illegal ball for social golf no one likes it CU I oh I want to play Within the rules of golf which I totally understand really is there any illegal balls longer than the

Real ball then well they claim to be but I’ve never seen it yeah lots of claims right see you’re too close here aren’t you I am yeah I don’t like this distance I like to be like 100 but I’m 75 so by the way I’m back to oneup

Because you’ve just won the long drive why did you why did you I won the chip in the bunker yeah but that put you one up no it was each no it was course it was why else would you got half of them can you I

Thought it was one point for winning the comp competition not on each challenge no silly s oh God we’ll do a nearest a pin here if you want then no it’s all right it’s fine you want up nice oh oh don’t oh Gary no no no no too much spin

Mate that wouldn’t happen with the uh warbird would it this isn’t what you want mate is it this is not what I want would you test a spin here you can’t spin this can you not this massive slow where’s mine my flag out that’s nice look we’ll take

That no Back Spin guys but it’s Flag high and if if you could guarantee me one thing with a golf ball it wouldn’t be more distance it would be being flag High more often this is going to go high oh he’s got it high yeah good effort a lot more difficult than what

People realize from down there easy to leave it down there two puts might be enough though could be goes the other way so i’ first hole using the pic and again great feedback similar to last year’s pics so I know that was a good rle I know it was good

Pace the read was just wrong that’s why it’s missed on that side that good yeah this for the half oh go good effort it was just that you were too close off the too you drive was too long I know not my favorite distance

Okay so two up next up we have a par three nearest the PIN for a point with these tp5 and tp5 x’s and obviously we have the hole to finish out as well I’m going to say if you make a bird you get an extra point that’s all right then

That means you could win keeping him in it I’m really impressed with this new ball I must admit I’m I’m always impressed when Taylor Made release a ball cuz I I wish they wouldn’t shout so much about it this is the longest fastest put pressure here oh yeah yeah

Go on you’ve got to buy a box of provs or a box of taor Ms they’re both the same price what are you going I’d go tp5 would you but I’ve been that way for a couple of years I wouldn’t buy the Calla I wouldn’t spend my own money on the

Callaways yeah I wouldn’t on tile this cuz I just think it’s mundane and boring I think it’s they’ve got nothing different out there yeah the only different thing tyus did which I really liked was having those green alignment Aids on I really liked that they was on

The AVX yeah but yeah i’ go tp5 all day that’s weird cuz I’m T other way I’m boring and I just like I just trust the Pro V1 I use it for that long someone uh trust your title is tattooed on your ankle right this is only 135 yards I’ve

Got an A TI the big thing for me when I’m choosing a golf ball is being able to flight it down and control it so let’s see if we can do that’s it’s a tight left flag as well you don’t want to go left G do you no so again nice and

Low G over to you a full gunning wedge a full gun wedge straight at it see it is a proper distance ball for you this isn’t it you team that all you do like to knock shots down don’t you that’s your game yeah I’m someone who lik to just do a full shot

Oh be the club that looks like it could be long that’s straight at it that oh that is all over it oh that could be actually stiff it could be stiff right on the number that could be nearest pin birdie hole G wins thanks for coming that was in there so

If you’re in the market for balls now we’ve kind of have that discussion already but guys comment below what would you do would you look at the new tp5 does the marketing mean anything to you at all does it to you I think do you know what I think you need to actually

Buy a dozen I think that’s what I need to do I need to commit to having 12 balls before I I’ve only ever tried like one or two yeah and then not the balls to buy a dozen yeah I think I should really buy a dozen and set myself up for

The next few years you know like it could be it could be a better ball than Prov and I just haven’t been testing realistically what I find happens is if you have the round of your life like I did with the stripe that’s your ball

Yeah if you don’t play well with it you probably BL blame the ball You’ probably move on yeah do numbers matter yes how much do they matter can’t believe you’ve just done that there’s a chance Gaz might walk away with’ one finally and you see the really interesting thing is

For me when I tested these golf balls in the studio the numbers were very similar to last year’s tp5x I wouldn’t anticipate it to be much different I think it’s very difficult with the regulations to get a faster quicker golf ball but for me still certainly a ball

That I would be looking at trying in 2024 if I’m in the market for premium golf balls so realistically I need to hold that put to stop you from winning or do I no no cuz if you miss that yeah if I miss that and you if we

Half it you’ve won if we half it on Score tester that is dear come on guys for the win secret weapons out all day long well done that’s class that man that is clutch guys that is a review of the brand new tailor made tp5 and tp5x goball I’ve really enjoyed it I think it’s doing what I want it to do

It’s a lot of money would you use it I would I think I would

  1. As someone over 60 I've always found the TP5 range a bit unforgiving, the x I can't get the ball speed and the standard TP5 just feels wrong almost like hitting a sack of potatoes. Been using Tour Response over the winter with some success particularly in distance but for some reason it's a bit hot with wedges and putter. On the other hand I can play PRO V1 all year round with more consistency. The downside of both brands is price.

  2. I’m an ok golfer, but wouldn’t see a huge diff in performance between the prov and tp balls, so its all down to how it feels. Long game I love the TP5 and 5x feel, but off the putter, especially when i used a Spider, was just something I couldn’t get on with. The Pro v still feels good long game but just feels right off the putter and i find my distance control is much better putting with a pro v. Its likely in my head at this point lol

  3. Question for James ? (Or anyone really) ….Would you take being 20 yards shorter on every tee shot …..if in return you made 50 % more of your putts ?

  4. I think the average player like myself wouldn't buy this expensive of a ball due to how many we lose in a round. You are better off getting a Kirkland, Seed or one of the other budget balls. You wouldn't lose that much in performance and would save money in lost balls.

  5. Yo video was posted 2 hours ago.. Look at all the fake comments by bot accounts with underwear as their image.. Strange…. Dude is paying for a channel boost now? lol

  6. I bet you a £1,000 that this won't even make a dent in the Pros that use ProV1 balls. I think it about 85% that do and most if not all Taylormade players are contracted to TM balls, so hardly going to be the killer ball

  7. Gaz I had a similar issue and found a miracle solution, a pair of glasses 😂 😎 it takes a little getting used to playing in them but it's worth it

  8. Been a fan of the Tour Response since it came out, and will continue to use that ball as my preferred gamer! I'm not that good, and I can tell the difference in different balls that I've tried, been given or just found (in good shape .. lol)

  9. Do a video on used premium golf balls. Here in the states you can buy used premium golf balls, they are not refurbished just cleaned and graded

  10. Jesus Christ I just bought a dozen Chrome Tour to try, now I'm gonna have to buy a dozen TP5X……thanks a lot lads 😂

  11. I love this type of content. I think golfers, primarily novice golfers, get shamed into thinking that we have to play expensive, name-brand, equipment.

    I have always said that it doesn't matter what name is on the driver if the swing isn't right. Save the cash and get some lessons!

  12. Is the four piece ball you both mentioned the Cavell? And is there a test coming ?
    Nice video. Due to cost and wayward shots, I use the titlest trufeel.

  13. Great video! I tested on course about 10 different golf balls last season. I found that I had the most control with the TP5. So it's in my bag. I tested last seasons(2021 version) verses the new TP5. I feel like a gained a little distance and still maintained that same control. Can't say enough good things. Except for the price increase…. Ugh!. But with great control, I lose less golf balls. So bonus.
    Keep up the great work, and Cheers!
