TaylorMade TP5X Ball

Since 20172024 Edition$55/dzn MSRP8.8/10 Expert Score16 tour pros

The TP5x is TaylorMade's fastest 5-layer tour ball, prioritizing ball speed for maximum distance off the tee while maintaining exceptional greenside spin and control. The 2024 generation features a raised compression of 97 for a firmer feel and a new Speed-Layer System for optimized performance across the bag.

Key Features

  • Half a Club Longer Than Previous Generation

    Redesigned 5-layer construction with a new rubber core formulation creates more speed without increasing firmness. A full yard longer than the next-best ball at 78 mph robot test.

  • Tour-Proven Distance with Lower Spin

    Matched Titleist Pro V1x for total distance but achieved it with less ball speed and significantly less driver spin — indicating greater forgiveness on off-center hits.

  • 5-Layer Speed & Spin Separation

    Revised five-layer construction creates greater separation between soft core and firm outer mantle. Flatter trajectory with less driver spin off the tee while maintaining wedge spin.

  • ClearPath Alignment & Pix Technology

    Available in white, yellow, and Pix visual options with ClearPath alignment technology for putting.

Increase in speed while somehow providing softer feel and maintaining spin. A genuine contender for ball of the year.
