TaylorMade unveils new TP5, TP5x and reimagined Pix balls
Everything you need to know about TaylorMade's new TP5 and TP5x balls and the reimagined TP5 and TP5x Pix.
TaylorMade Golf Company, an industry leader in innovation and technology, introduces the 2024 lineup of golf balls, featuring the highly anticipated TP5 and TP5x models.
Continuing a trend of innovation and engineering, the 2024 TP5/TP5x relies on a combination of new technologies to provide the biggest jumps in performance to date.
The most impactful change is the first-of-its-kind Speed Wrapped Core, which produces a softer sound with better feel while paving the way for a faster overall construction. In the 2024 TP5/TP5x, the use of core materials as the central element of decoupling feel and distance represents a game- breaking innovation in golf ball design.
This year marks a critical evolution of the patented Speed Gradient construction that defines the TP5/TP5x franchise. In the 2024 TP5/TP5x, TaylorMade incorporated a new progressive 5- layer design fueled by the Speed Wrapped Core, which optimises variable stiffness between the core and mantle layers.
This results in reduced spin on drivers and long irons while enhancing spin control for wedges. It is this variability in driver and wedge spin that maximises the capabilities of five-layer technology and allows the new TP5/TP5x to maintain its leadership position as the most complete tour ball.
The Difference Between TP5 & TP5x
TP5 and TP5x represent two distinct choices that cater to different player preferences.
The TP5, TaylorMade's softest 5-layer Tour ball, offers a notably softer feel with enhanced spin around the green. This ball fits golfers who prioritise touch and feel in their short game, providing responsive and precise control.
The new TP5 provides lower driver spin than the prior generation but maintains its best-in-class greenside performance.
TP5x emerges as TaylorMade's fastest 5-layer Tour ball. This design prioritises ball speed, making it the ideal choice for golfers seeking increased velocity off the clubface.
The new TP5x also sees a reduction in driver and long iron spin, with a focus on distance while maintaining greenside control. It delivers unmatched performance for players seeking lower driver spin while also delivering faster ball speeds than the prior gen product.
All-New TP5/TP5x pix with ClearPath Alignment
The 2024 TP5/TP5x pixTM golf balls build on the groundbreaking visual technology of ClearPath AlignmentTM, which is the most played all-over print visual technology on Tour.
Compared to previous generations, the new model features a longer centreline and additional colour contrast, offering golfers easier alignment and more precise feedback on the green.
In response to consumer and Tour feedback, the new pix graphic has shifted from a “motion” triangle to a diamond shape and has been rearranged with a more centralised orange colour palate.
This adjustment adds more colour and strategically moves black elements away from the centreline, enhancing visibility and making alignment even more user-friendly.
New Stock Options and MySymbol Programme
TaylorMade is set to elevate its renowned TP5 pix limited edition programme, noted for such iconic designs like TP5 pix Pickle and TP5 pix Poker. This expansion brings select offerings to limited retail outlets and TaylorMadeGolf.com.
Moreover, the addition of the new MySymbol collection in Europe will take customisation and personalisation in golf ball to new levels. MySymbol will offer fresh logo options with an exciting array of designs.
