The TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x multilayer urethane-cover balls use a new microcoating technology that changes the way golf balls are painted to ensure consistency.
The new TaylorMade Qi4D family of drivers (Qi4D, Qi4D Max, Qi4D Max Lite, Qi4D LS) aim to manage the complicated challenges of faster ball speed mixed with forgiveness and aerodynamic speed.
How far would Tiger have hit it in 2000 if he’d had access to today’s technology? To find out, we ran a full robot test at Golf Laboratories with Tiger’s drivers and balls covering 25 years of innovation.
The Hero World Challenge is sometimes chastised as “not a real event”. Don’t tell that to world No.1 Scottie Scheffler, the two-time defending champion who is using the competition as a proving ground for a new TaylorMade driver.
According to TaylorMade tour rep Adrian Rietveld, Scheffler wants “absolutely nothing inside” his driver’s clubhead that might alter performance in any way.
Scheffler topped the Open field in strokes gained/approach, gaining 9.065 strokes. He was equally impressive on the greens, ranking second in strokes gained/putting for the week at 8.516.
