Typically when companies target average golfers with a “tour-level ball”, it involves adding a similar urethane cover. TaylorMade’s approach instead is to find a way to inject a little more of what average golfers really need: some tour-level long-game energy. These balls feature the intermediate mantle layer and drag-reducing “dual-radius” dimple pattern of the TP5/TP5x models to provide more distance off the tee.
The option of the wide, 360-degree aiming stripe is designed to help with alignment.
