Testing the balls now and found the "click" of the TP5X to be the same as ProV1X (the ball that I'm switching from). TP5 is that much softer feeling and sounding. The auditory feedback will take adjusting, but for better players, softer is usually preferred. Thanks for the great post, Rick. Loved seeing the inside of the ball, as well.
"They all spin and go far." - My favorite line.
the TP5x has a super durable cover, been using them for weeks and a couple cartpaths later it barely has a scratch
A very informative review obviously this is a subjective analysis as all reviews are. Personally I like your reviews as they get straight to the point at hand, lots of honest information from an experienced independent golf professional. The combination of data analysis and personal preference and in this case visual perception through on course analysis adds that extra element. Good job Rick!
ive been watching rick for a couple years. his vids convinced me to buy my pings and i love them.
been using the tp5x for the last few rounds I've played and got to say I'm loving it at the minute,I found from the tee into wind it really cuts through the wind nicely.would mind giving the tp5 ago and comparing them..another great video rick.🖒
I love the equipment reviews Rick....non-biased and straight honest info....numbers don't lie....keeps me from making un-needed equipment purchases....
Great video. I hit TP5s and your video confirmed what I discovered in my comparison to the TP5x.
Good to know, getting a few boxes of the TP5 in the mail soon.
I absolutely love your reviews. You have a serious delivery.
Exactly the in depth review I was looking for 👏🏻 👏🏻 Rick
Rick, thanks for the ball test I was wondering myself the difference! Keep growing that beard!
Played with the TP5's last week , wont be changing for a VERY long time! They amazing
Did you change?
@@Lucky.27_ I haven't 4yrs later. Just switched to the ones with triangles
Thx Mr. SHIELDS I loved this review and purchased the new TP5 balls. I shot 96 last week and 88 after using this ball. Love what you do. "Come on Shieldsy"
excellent test Rick. love how you do the "feel" stuff first and bin the nonsense on the box
Brilliant review Rick. Definitely changed my mind on which one to choose 👍
What that means I have no idea, but it looks great!! Always an honest review! Cheers Rick
Thanks Rick, Love the ball reviews.
Rick doubt it was my suggestion that made you do this but I just asked you to make a video of this recently and here it is, you never fail rick, never fail
Hey Rick, this is so helpful !! Thank you.
Thanks for this analysis. The tournaments Ive been playing recently have been giving these away, one sleeve of the TP5 and TP5x and I didn't know (because of the packaging) which I would like better. Sounds like the TP5 is for me!
7:45 I was cracking up 😂
Great review. Nice to see an unbiased effort to give an understanding of how a ball feels, reacts and performs. The manufacturers videos are always full of tour players paid to say what they perceive you want to hear about their products instead of what is necessarily the truth. Keep up the good work
I love this channel. It's very very useful
I was trying out the TP5 in a round of golf and that ball just really spun off the tee shots flying left and right. I was hitting ProV1s a lot relatively straighter.
Rick, could you do a review on Bridgestone B-330 vs B-330s.
Bought a box of TP5, going to try them out later today! Prefer soft feel balls and been using a Bridgestone B-330 RXS
I got a sleeve of the new TP5 and ProV1 and agree with you
on a lot of things. I also love the sound of a “non-clicky” sounding ball. I think
that is why I love the feel and sound of the Pro V1. I really enjoyed the TP5.
I love the feel and sound of the Snell ball as well, btw. I wasn’t swinging
well when I played the ProV1, but I felt the TP5 performed better for me, off
of the Driver. But, man oh man, on chips, pitching, and irons…the ProV1 felt
pretty damn good. But not so much better than the TP5. Can’t wait for more of
this series. The Ball market is just getting tighter and tighter. I think for
those of us that pay for balls, look for the deals. It is really hard to beat
the Srixon balls, but now they are going up in price as well.
I'm so glad you said you felt a spring like affect when putting with the TP5. I felt the same thing as I was comparing feel on the greens vs my typical ProV1. Obviously, you could get used to anything, but it was something the jumped out at me right away when doing my own testing. Now I know it wasn't just me.
I noticed this comparing a TP5 with some Chrome Softs last night on the green. It felt very light, or rather the Chrome Softs felt hard and heavy. I'm switching to TP5s.
I bought a dozen TP5s and played it yesterday. Conditions were dry and windy, around 70 degrees. I absolutely loved the performance off the tee and with my irons as well as its feel, but I was pretty surprised to not see my ball get much backspin. SM6 wedges, brand new. I am a digger, usually take about a 6 inch long, inch deep divot on full wedge shots. Even 30 yard pitch shots from tight lies tried to check, but didn't stop on the dime. Played the V1 the last five years and the new V1 just the week before and it was incredible. I'm going to continue to game the TP5 because I am technically satisfied.
Rick please do a review of the TP5 vs PROV1
Made2Golf TV he's already done a video on the proV1 and now these taylormades. so really you can just watched him both and there you go. take the data from both vidoes.
Scotty doesn'tKNOW 2 tests done on 2 different days is useless
Seven Seven not
Made2Golf TV lol go it yourself
Yes
Love your videos! I would love to see a review of the Mizuno JPX ball ranges as they appear to be very competitive in stats and really cheap compared to the big dogs! I adore them (11hcp) and would love to see a pro test!
Tp5 now in my bag with prov1
These TP5x's are really good balls. I have played these since they came out. Switched from Titleist.
I am with you on this one Rick. I would much rather have more performance and feel around the green any day. TP5 works just fine. Good review my friend. :)
Great review Rick, cheers
thanks Dean
i would love to see a video going thought all the balls that you tested ranking each category like fell spin durability and sound
Very nice review Rick. Does this mean you're gonna start playing the TP5 then?
Love Rick’s analysis of golf balls. Wonder how this TP5 compares to the Volvick S4?
I found a TP5 on the course that had a bold blue alignment line around half the ball with a custom name in the middle. I have no idea where to do that (not on the website). But that alignment was so helpful and I found myself to enjoy the ball. Maybconsider actually purchasing.
Rick have you considered posting the data from all of the ball tests on social media following the release of the series so we could take a look at al of them at once? Great video once again
Another great review
The inside looks awesome
tp5x is a weigh more efficient golf ball off the driver. 8 more yards same swing speed. it's a monster.
Rick could you please do a review on the Wilson staff Duo 29 compression
Just got some on sale. Must say that I will be having to buy the TP5 over the Callaway Super Softs now. I do loose less of them though.
Would love to see chrome soft vs chrome soft x also possibly 2015 vs 2016/17 chrome soft :D. Can still get them for under £25 a dozen which is pretty damn good. Especially when you're hitting it like i was today.
Amazing review btw!
Best ball review I have seen!! Great job #golfholics
Golfholics you produce great videos I'm a huge fan from Ireland
Thanks for the compliment Charlie Sheehan! We appreciate all the support across the pond! 🤙#golfholics
Rick your reviews are the GOLD STANDARD of golfing reviews! Just IMMENSE. Please can you do a review of the Vice Pro and Pro Plus balls? I'm tempted to use but I won't switch until I've seen your review of them...
thewonderfulparadox. I know I wanna see him review them too.
Maximiliano Castellanos I gave the Vice Pros a go. Big mistake. Wish I’d waited for Rick’s review 😞. Want to buy 5 packs of Vice Pros??? 😂
thewonderfulparadox. Did you like the vice pros
No - 'clicky' on chips, and I get weird ball flights on drives. My go-to ball is now Taylor Made RBX, although I've found all of TM balls to be excellent.
Good clip . prefer the softer more spin around the greens !
I kind of like the lower spin of the TP5X as it's generally pretty windy where I play
Please do a test on "normal" priced balls like the Titleist Trusoft, Wilson 50 elite and other two layer balls witch normal people can afford :-)
Today I tested 3 Wilson DUOS and liked the straight ball flight but didn’t really FEEL or hear the ball unless off the driver. I had a TP5x and felt similar but had a bit more feel & sound BUT MURDERED the TP5x off the T box with a 285 yard drive using a PING G400 3 W! I typically hit it 250 & G400 driver 270y. I really kinda liked the DUO feel as I play ProV & x’s mostly. Still testing but needing some more strikes to be convinced.
Great Ball!
I used the TP5 for testing!
After 3holes the Outer Layer got cuts and was unusable damaged!
Lasts Not that long as any titleist!
But the feel and Control was excellent!
But a Prime Golfball has to last undamaged much longer!
I loved the chrome soft and I love the Pro V1 haven’t tried the TP5
andyblue2525 : really useful comment for a review on the tp5!🙄
I’m sold on the TP5x. Played with one all 18 holes yesterday. +1 after 9 holes and +6 after 18. Not bad for a 15 handicap. After 18 holes only has one scuff mark. Plenty of stopping power on 50 yards and in
LOVE these new balls! The TP5X is my new ball. It feels incredible.
I generally agree with the review. TP5 seems to fly a little higher on all clubs. My personal preference is the TP5X since it has a slightly lower ball flight, cuts through the wind nicely, and spins a little less. But depending on course conditions I'm also gaming the TP5 as well since it flies slightly higher/softer. Both are excellent.
Rick. Plz. Plz. Review the Vice Pro and Pro plus. Feel like it’s kinda missing out even thought it’s a great ball.
hey rick could you please do a ball text between chrome soft and the srixion z-star thanks
Played a comp today , played well, tried the new ball from Bubba Watson, excellent ball, super height and very soft flight, went a long way and I must say the control and putting was superb, give it a try Rick, regards Fraser (Han 6)
Beach Fraser i have some new Volvik balls i play their ok
JON P yeah i play the xt’s and they are alright. A bit overpriced but good feel around the greens
Great test. Can't wait to try some out. Hopefully I'll find a couple that players will lose in the field OB lol
vie pro vs tp5 please. you are a legend
I always like the part when he cuts the ball in half
Please always include Pro V1 as a benchmark in all ball tests. Keep up the awesome work Rick!
Hi @rickshielspga
Will you give the new series a test and compare them to the 2017 version? The same with Pro V1 and V1X. Looking forward to See that.
I will never buy a ball that you don't recommend. 👍🏻⛳
Please do a comparison of TP5 vs. Prov1 vs K-Sig :)
like the testing...would like you also to test a Wilson golf maybe sometime.the Wilson due urethane ball..would like your input..I think its a amaxing ball..cheers
Rick, The X is more stable in the wind days on the course, that might change witch one to choose?
I would prefer the TP5X even with the less spin around the green. I like the extra roll out as I tend to come up short with some pitch and chip shots.
I like the way the chrome soft comes off of the putter better than the Tp5. Nice ,very soft and controlled. Spider Dubiel
Any chance of a review on the penfold commando, the penfold ace, the efeather, the Dunlop Warwick, the golden ram, the slazenger b52 and the weird Uniroyal ball with the hex dimples!!!
do you think the tp 5 would be ok for a slower swing speed ??
You should review the Maxfli Tour golf ball. I would like to know what you think of them.
did u use the same wedges ie milled grind for the prov1 reviews? if so then we can compare using the datas. if not please compare them. also would love you to compare the Nassau golf balls, although i heard that's the same as the Kirklands
That ball flip to start the video though 😏
Review the VICE Pro Soft!
Now thats a ball review!
I was given a TP5x the other day and found it to be excellent. I deliberately played with a Pro V1x yesterday and the TP5x today to compare. I was getting more spin into greens than I usually do and certainly more than the Pro V1x. It seemed to give more distance too. I found it easier to judge putting pace and was good on chips. It is certainly the best Taylormade ball I have ever tried. I will certainly give it another go next week.
how hard/soft did you find the tp5x compared to the prov1x?
It felt a bit softer. I always felt the proV1x was too firm off the putter compared to the proV1 but as it did not spin so much , it was better for my overall game. The TP5x seems to solve this .
Can you review the project a vs the project s
Test the OnCore Avant golf ball
do a bridgestone b330s
watched a few older videos by you and saw a long drive with you and Pete. The distance that won was 288. I am curious if you have increased your distance by implementing new swing techniques over the past few years or do you think equipment has changed and helped you achieve the numbers you do now. Almost consistently over 300 yards. the change is a little dramatic in my opinion
You should compare the tp5x to the vivid xl. They are both in my bag they fly completely different to the eye. For me they end up crazy similar location every shot. I want to know what is happening that makes the vivid xl look so high but play to the same.
Just completed my set of Ben Ross type R irons, however The last 3 irons I received were the 2017 new redesigned model which are even sweeter, can you do a test of the new model? My handicap went from 16 to 10 with these BR sticks. My first generation AP2s are now history...Toby, USA
I have a question. Bought first premium balls, TP5. My second shot, owner said take a photo of that shot. As an amateur does it matter till you get the "swing" or "path" straight as you do Every time? Wish I could show you the photo
Oh yeah & the McGregor tourney too.
Rick can u help im looking for a good golf ball to use what should i look for kev. Swing speed in the 80s. Thanks
I prefer the Titleist AVX. Longer and I think it has a slight edge over the TP 5. Although I bet TP 5 spins a bit more around the greens. They both hold the green well though.
can you do a review on the volvik vivid golf balls?
Rick if you havent yet can you do a review of the new Titleist AVX balls. I find that they have a very nice low penetrating ball flight and a very soft feel. However, they don't seem to spin very well for me on short game shots. Would love to see you review them. If you already have please disregard this message.
Have you cut a Taylormade Tour Preferred ball in half? It would be very interesting to see what their previous tip ball looks like next to their newest super ball, matter of fact I'm not sure I've seen any reviews of the Tour Preferred, it would awesome to see it compared to theae, they are soft as well from what I understand. If you have tested the original "TP" please let me know.
Then also for price. Test pinnacle soft and rush.
Just got a box of tp5x in the mail, havent played them yet but they are really hard and clicky sounding if I bounce it off my sand wedge face
Would you compare this years models vs prov1s vs callaway?
what that means.......I have no idea.... Lol I sure am glad you performed that cut the ball in half test. now I can make an informed decision. Do those cutters really make that clean of a cut? amazing.
Tom Prevost It appears to be a PVC pipe cutter. You can pick one up at Home Depot or Lowes.
would love to see VICE golf ball review
T Ray exactly! I've been using the Vice Drive and I love it.
Hi Rick, I've got a swing speed of around 115-120mph and I've always chosen the 'x' for reduced spin and therefore less wild tee shots. Is this flawed logic? Do you see more of a difference between soft/hard balls with a faster swing? Thanks!
Rick you sound sick if you are please feel better❤️
