A test of the new Bridgestone range would be my choice.
Very thoughtful and in-depth testing! I like the way you’ve done it! Can’t understand why they seem to dislike u at TM HQ?!? I would go for the TP5 over the X. It seems a bit More control, a fraction more stopping Power over a bit less Spin and gaining some more yards is more useful. Visibility??? Haven’t they stole it from the Callaway Chromesoft truvis?!
Ive been comparing the tp5 to my Bridgestone 330s.. (bluebox).. seems very comparable but the 330 do a little better around the green.
Yes Bridgestone test next! 🧐
It would be interesting to see this done with Vice
Definitely Bridgestone! They’ve had good balls for a few years but no shouty shouty! BX and BXS 👍🏻
The graphs with standard deviations are so good Mark! Best way to explain this data, well done!
Thank you professor. I absolutely love this format. Please keep these coming. Nerd heaven!
Love your ball tests. Especially with the graphs for comparison. Great job.
Would love to see premium ball test. Don’t forget Bridgestone!
Hello Mark, we'd love to see you testing our Inesis Tour 900. We're going to send you a dozen. :)
INESIS TOUR 900 as good as PROV1 or TP5 but half the price :)
Would be amazing indeed 👍
Best ball ever ⛳️👀
More and more players seem to play with Tour900, agree for a test!! Mark, your turn to play! :)
Une douzaine ! Vous êtes pingre.
Excellent detailed review. Seeing the differences in performance with multiple clubs is so important.
Classic Crossy solo review. excellent, exxxxellent! Mornin' y'all!
Good stuff. Really like the method for testing in these recent ones.
absolutely loving this ball testing
Great vlog and data comparison as usual 👍😊
Hi Mark, love the review. I've been using the TP5's for quite a while (even back to the Penta TP5). I love the back spin, although spinning off the green sometimes is a pain. I'm only on my second TP5 Pix ball now (before that just using the normal TP5's), and have thought that each of the two balls has stayed actually in very good shape after 3 full rounds each (different to what you experienced). However I found the opposite with the TP5 yellow which was totally scuffed after a single round. I don't use the lining up for putting (a line doesn't seem to help me sink more putts), but the pix certainly helps me identify my ball more easily on the fairway (or in the rough) which I actually really like.
Always setting the standard for reviews of any type.
The premium ball test would be great. Love this style of data presentation. Great work
That is very interesting on the wear. I played 27 holes with 1 tp5 2 weeks ago. Sadly, it was struck significantly more than I would prefer, but it wore well.
Love the format of these videos especially the way the data is presented. I’ve just started playing with the TP5 and have noticed the slight wear issues in comparison to chrome soft that I was gaming. Getting a noticeable gain on driver carry.
Great ball test this, really enjoyed it!
Loved this video. I’ve just moved to the TP5 pix and I’m finding it consistent across all aspects of my game. Completely agree with you about the wear and tear 👌🏼
Thanks Mark - great content. Might be fun to compare some of the DTC balls (ie, Snell vs. Vice?)
Excellent review as always Mark
Good test. I played the PIX last week and I loved the feel of the ball. I think it looks awesome too, something very out there and very different
Excellent ball test, informative and interesting. Well done 👍
Wish i have seen this before I purchased TP5s last week. I think i need the TP5x based on this vid. Great info again Mark keep it up.
Nice to see that with the data there actually IS a difference irregardless of how slight. I love this... it's a real service you're doing here Mark!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE test the Snell range!!!
Love the graphs ... never played TM balls always a pro v1x but good to see differences between models
Wow! That club face with ball-bits in the grooves reminded me of the 1980s, shearing off bits of the surlyn cover of Top Flite Pluses with my Wilson 1200 LT sand wedge.
Absolutely love these balls. I love the instant feedback I can see in the putts. I use a large black line over the printed lineup on the ball. Coming from pro v1 the lower spin was also a huge help because Im a higher spin player. Thanks for the review.
Love the TP5 pix and have been playing the TP5 for a while. Never noticed a lack of durability though. Great video as usual.
Love the new format Mark. Would like if you did all the premium golf ball brands.
I switched from ProV1 to TP5 pix this year and I love the tp5!
Once again, the golf guru knocks it out of the park. Great video sir, I've played with the tp5 version of this ball. I was sceptical at first. But to me, it's a unique and solid performing ball. Keep up the good work. God bless you Mark
I love my TP5 pix balls. I love how They spin and i love there smoothnes and my confidence when i stay behind These balls. Especially on the green
I've found using these really helpful, I struggling with alignment off the tee and I've used the markings to help with my setup and I'm hitting the fairway much better and more often, particularly good when using irons off the tee. Only missed one green on a par three so far. I also like the lines for putting, helps me set the club face up correctly. I've had no issues at all with wear. But I'm a 20 handicap so you'll have a better strike than I do.
Thanks Mark. Haven't tried these yet, I game the ERC and cant fault them for my game.
Would love to see this test with the Bridgestone lineup. Well done!
Great review, would love to see one for Prov1 vs Prov1x
I'd definitely use the alignment aid. I'm such a visual line reader when it comes to reading putts so having that extra pattern to line up putts better would be so beneficial to me. Also this was a really comprehensive test. Other golf pros on the CZcamss should take note of how to do a ball test cause this is how it's done.
the data graphing is so good. I use Snell balls but they wear as fast as the TP5s in your vid. I used to game Srixon Q Star Tour and they took an absolute beating and looked amazing. I tried the XV this last week as a test and they were equally as dominant in terms of durability. Thanks for the review, bruh. #testmyballs
Bought a box of these (tp5x) last week, really like the line up system when putting, I wanted to test to get my iron spinn down a bit. Seems to work! 👍⛳
good video mark, like the format with the flick between shots and data rather than all the data at the end :)
Still would love to see lakeballs compared to fresh out the box balls to see how much we are giving away vs the cost. :)
Love the TP5X and the 3+1 4DZ box set, it's all I play these days, and it seems longer then most even in cold weather
I’ve watched your videos for years but never commented. Love the content and appreciate your input. I used to get too tied up in trying to line my ball up and I never felt I could get the balled lined up correctly or my putter aligned perpendicularly to the line on the ball which became frustrating and time consuming. I found a chrome soft truvis during a round and really enjoyed putting with it for two reasons. 1. I didn’t get tied up with trying to align the line on my ball and 2. It’s easier to see how the ball rolls on the green in turn giving me immediate feedback on my green reading ability. Overall I felt like I putt better with the “truvis” or “pix” type ball. I plan on trying the TM Pix as I like the graphics better than the truvis.
Bridgestone test would be Great. Keep the video's coming some excellent info👍
I would love to see you do a premium ball test as you talk about. At the end possibly have a wrap up so that people can see how they compare to each other in the areas that we care about so that we don't need to do the full test like you're doing. I really appreciate this format and the amount of work that goes into it.
Great ball test, well argued
Playing their new tour response ball would love you to test it. I am a senior 88 mph club speed with driver and the ball is performing great. Also great around the greens. Cheers from NorCal great to see you out!!!
Mark, Great vid! I have been playing TP5x PIX for a month now and I must say I really like this ball and it's the first premium ball I feel ok paying premium dollars for. I luv the performance. I'm average golfer (13 handi) who enjoys a little more distance off tee and some spin from wedge. But, I also luv the putting visual and do line up when I'm 6 feet or closer. Luv knowing if I struck put well and the visual feedback the ball gives confirms if I did my job. Also, can find my ball easier and NEVER play the wrong ball now. Finally, I can visually see spin on the greens shockingly well so I'm learning what spin does on the green. I think average golfers(10-20 handi) get a better ball in the PIX x then other premiums because you will learn more about your wedge spin and putting strokes WHILE getting a higher performing ball.
Nice video Mark. Not a line up person myself either but I do like the look of the Pix balls.
Personally have just switched to TM Tour Response from Callaway Supersofts. Slightly more expensive but love the feel of the urethane cover.
The lads a TXG did a comparison with all 3 and showed the Tour Response sits nicely in the middle of the 5 and 5X too.
Only been playing for 3 years now always used a srixon ball... last few rounds I've switched to these tp5 pixs and honestly the spin and stppoing when I want I too is unreal quality quality ball!
I just switched to the tp5 pix version from the Pro V1 and have been super impressed. I gained some quite impressive distance numbers over a few days of testing against the Pro V but did notice some cover issues. But at $29 US a dozen for the 2019 version, it's fine -- great ball. I tried the tp5x when it first hit the market and didn't like it but really like this newer tp5 version.
Hey Mark could you include Snell and Vice or do a test comparing those two? I know you've done a Snell test awhile back but I'd be interested in your review of the Vice balls as well and a comparison of those vs the name brand balls. Thank you!
Yes please, great info
I Will say the true line path alignment works really well with the taylormade putters. I got custom fit for the Spider X and when you line it up behind the ball it does look great actually .
A great review, like the honesty about the damage of the golf ball this is pet hate, especially for the price.
Love this video
Would be interested in seeing a review of the updated callaway chrome soft balls.
Would love to see a premium ball comparison. Have been using the Z Star for years now and have loved it.
It's nice to hear someone say what I feel. The wear is disappointing. I like there fact there is a difference between them- you could use them for different courses- ie links to parkland. Interested to see the Bridgestone balls tested
I will add that yes, they get scratched consistently . Mark your point on this is right on. I do think they scratch more then most others but still playble and worth the premium to me. Bonus, the color scheme of PIX goes with Callaway Mavrik 3 metal which I got in May and am absolutely smashing!!!!
I just started using the line and it really helped me, although i am conscious to try to do it quickly. This pattern looks interesting
Don't rush yourself mate. Always take the time you need. Your round is just as important as anyone else's. You've paid the same to play as they have.
Great data from the human swing robot. Thanks Mark!
Defiantly a test of the Bridgestone Tour B range required. I am actually testing the B-RXS B-XS the TP-5 Pix. I never used the line for putts but more recently have committed to it as part of my routine taking the time to line up the putt and have found that provided I actually commit to the line (and not second guess standing over the ball) that my putting has improved. Once I have picked my line then the focus moves to the pace and stroking the ball down that line. I am however suffering some OCD with the clash of colours between pix and the yellow lines on my Phantom X 8.5! Great video. Would love to see the Bridgestone tested especially the differential of a higher swing speed player (+105mph) plays the supposed lower swing speed ball and vice versa to see the performance differences.
Very interesting mark , i moved from the tp5x to the Vice tour pro due to price, but really think its as good if not better and more hard wearing.
I really like these balls, the graphics give great feedback on whether you’ve hit it where you’re aiming. They do cut up a little bit, particularly if you’re in the sand a lot, but I would say less so than the Z-Star ball, which for some reason I have found cut up more than anything else I’ve used. These are a real challenger to a Pro V1 IMO.
I use the TP5 Pix and I actually find my ball striking better with the Pix. My eyes tend to wander during my swing and putting stroke and having something to keep my focus has really helped me personally.
You are hitting the ball really well lately. Lockdown must have done you good.
Go Massive! all premiums, Really like the way your doing ball tests Mark. I know this is tricky but I would like to see a discussion on aero dynamics as I think people think launch monitors capture everything but this is a huge grey area! Has Mark written all over it!
In my opinion I enjoyed that! I don’t use premium balls, purely a money reason, but I do enjoy seeing what they offer. I’m not a line person for putting so I’d pass, but it’s a cool idea for sure. Always appreciate the knowledge Mark!
Would like to give the TP5 pix a go, have used TP5 before and like the feel. I like using alignment to help with putting. I’d definitely like to see a big test between all premium balls side by side
I’ve played Taylormade ball for a few years, maybe back 3 generations. Never used a line before trying these, definitely a visual aid and I feel it helps, I gotta test again using a line on ball without the graphics. As for durability, always found the TP5/TP5x to be pour.
I’m loving the TP5 Pix at the moment, I’ve been back and forth between TP5, RXS, pro v1, and chrome soft over the last few years. I actually like TP5 best because of the combo of durability and feel. Just my experience though
I just tested a sleeve of TP5x’s all over the course and over 18 holes. Stopped and hit multiple wedge shots and balls into greens. Mine actually held up pretty well outside of one getting some cart path love 😂
LOVE these balls...bought 4 boxes TP5 ( buy 3 get one free ) feel great...... only lost one ball....feel nice on the putter...good distance on the driver
I’d love to see this type of test with all the premium balls
I’ve just switched to the tp5 pix cause it makes me feel like I can concentrate on a particular point on the ball. Would love to see a review of the Bridgestone range a ball that you don’t hear about that much
Snell MTB-X is the best ball I have used. So long and spins amazing.
Good review and definitely a bit of work involved. I would have liked to see the new Tour Response included which is a direct competitor to the Q Star tour.
I find it interesting that you don’t seem to have a strong feel preference. I can (and have) dismiss a ball for being either too firm or too soft in a couple of holes of golf.
How about finding a few new older premium models to see how their performance stacks up against the latest and dearest, a bit like your retro club reviews. I am playing the 2016 Bridgestone B330-RXS, which are still available at £20 a dozen as an example.
Switched to TP5 pix this year, loving the feel of them. Have not seen any difference compared to other premium balls when it comes to durability,
Really thorough and insightful video bruh. I'd agree that the ball looks a bit too messy though. Callaway's tripletrack is still the option imo 👍
I'm pretty sure they help with alignment, personally I use the Bridgestone tour b xs with a custom logo similar to the Callaway triple track alignment system, think Callaway hit the perfect design with triple track, easy to aim and gives great feedback on how you strike the putt, easy to identify miss hits/strikes as the lines dont roll end over end on a badly hit putt
I'd take the higher spin over a few extra yards on the iron shots everyday. As you say Mark, out on the course you are having to deal with ground conditions, wind and "birds" !
I actually bought some of these balls but in the "practice" version - they're the same ball just a bit cheaper because of various defects (mostly paint). I was noticing the lack of durability with these practice balls, but it's interesting to hear that they are still present with the full price "perfect" versions.
As far as ball testing goes would love to see you testing the Bridgestone tour B range, certainly think more golfrrs over here in the UK would benefit playing something from their range just perhaps over herevthe marketing isn't good enough
I like these pix balls but I align my “Aimer” line parallel to my putter face. Face angle is more important than strike location imo (esp. with high moi putters) so the parallel line reinforces how I want my face at impact. I found if I drew it back slightly inside or outside then I would try to reroute the path to hit the middle on the line which led to pushes and pulls. Now if I feel I took it back weird I just try to make sure I return with the correct face angle so it starts on-line (hopefully)
TP5x was just to low spinning for myself when I tested.
I liked TP5 but found other premium balls that were cheaper performed the same or better. But I'd happily play the TP5 again.
To fussy for me but some love it ! Would love to see a premium ball test also with lower swing speeds if poss !
Could you do a ball test for slower swing speeds 80mph driver to see if any particular ball provides a distance gain either with or without a loss of spine around the green
I’ve been using project A balls from Taylornade and they seem to wear pretty quick like you showed. I used supersofts from Callaway and didn’t see the wear and tear like I do with the taylormade balls. I love the spin though. Way more spin with Project A ball.
Just want to say this is a brilliant test Mark well done. Can you tell os what golf cource you are playing every time you are out there.
GREAT VIDEO MARK, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PERFORM A TEST WITH CALLAWAY GOLF BALLS, I CURRENTLY USE THERE CHROME SOFT AND PERFER THEM OVER THE PRO V1 WHICH I FELT WERE LIKE HITTING STONES
Using TP5x pix now as it’s piercing against the wind for driver and good distance control for iron. It is good visibility in the bright daylight as well, compared to a plain white ball.
Also testing TP5x Yellow but it is too reflective when putting during bright summer in Texas. Yellow one should be good in the winter.
Hey Mark, I play the Tp5 currently, I wouldn't use the pix because it's too busy for my liking.
I like using the tp5 cause it wears well and offers the spin and feel around the green, which is what i want.
Using yellow project As this year and man do they scuff up quick and the paint wears off fairly quickly other than that I love how they feel for chipping and putting and do really like em
Would be interesting to see a premium ball comparison. Currently use z stars and have stuck with them for a while now.
Would love to see the Mizuno RB Tour's tested. You have always said Mizuno is a great brand, but are only respected by the public for their forged irons.
One huge test please Mark
I would use the line up. It is useful to me.
I've been gaming the TP5x for a couple of months now. For me it seems like the quality really varies from batch to batch. The first dozen were really good. Above average wear and the line system looked really good. However, the second dozen I picked up wore a bit quicker and the lines didn't seem to be straight on the golf ball. I even tried to do a black sharpie line over the printed one and it became even more apparent that the lines were not straight. Very disappointing. I really love the perfromance of the ball and I like the lines when they are straight but for a $45 a dozen ball, quality control issues should not come about. As always great video Mark.
