Taylor Made TP Red Ball - cracked up!!

[West Coast Duffer]

I play the Blacks and thought they were like the Pro V1X, I did not like the Reds.

Can anyone on here honestly say that they can tell the difference between two chosen balls of the same brand and of the same quality if I white out the name.

I practice a couple of times a week and I can tell you difference between, say a Pro V and Top Flite XL. I go to the range once or twice a week on my lunch hour, play nine holes once a week after work and usually play 36 holes on the weekend and I know I can't tell the difference between a pro v1 and a pro v 1x if my life depended on it. I could care less what brand it is as long as it is a 3 or 4 piece ball Pro V1, V1x, TP red or black, B330, etc.

I must be doing something wrong.

^^^ I can tell the difference between the Pro V1 and the Pro V1x just because the x feels so much dang harder off the face then the Pro V1.

You think a pro v1x is hard, hit the new callaway ix. Might as well hit a rock!!! Im done with all callaway balls, nothing but Bridgestone from now on.

I got a free sample pack of the new Cally HX Bite and thought those were very hard also.

 

[Topflite_D2]

^^ Yeah even with their Pro V1 technology they can't make a ball as good as Titleist with Callaway's materials.

i have to explain this to 8 ppl a day.....

the red is the 1x

the black is like the regular ProV.

 

[otakueric]

red has more spin, and for people with slower swing speeds, tp red is the #1 ball, if your ss is closer to 115 then it is to 95 then you start to see more improvements with players balls like pro v1s and one plats.

the thing about taylormade is that they are pretty much ditching the maxli umbrella in which they produced balls under cause they cant justify $40 noodles -- and came out with tp reds/blacks and the tm burners -- and the reason that they are so popular and hit so well is because they are designed for the average joe, so when we see a dozen balls at $40 we think theyre good, we play with them and lo and behold we are spinning it back, and driving it further then we did with pro v1s...

very clever marketing.

 

[Topflite_D2]

I read somewhere's that TM just put the burner name on the Maxfli fire and Tour fire.

 

[otakueric]

doubtful because the tm burner out preformed the maxli's in tests.

 

[footballking732]

Yup, its standard procedure to give a sleeve of balls for a cracked golf ball. I have had that experience with both TM and Callaway. I have given a hard bargain for a dozen both times, but its not in their power to give that(usually when they say that its BS but i believe them)

So is the TM Burner a relabelled Maxfli Tour Fire?

I absolutely hate the Tour Fire. Scuffs like a hell. From 3 quarter 9 irons. It was horrendous.

Agreed 100%. I though it was a shit ball. Just didn't like the feel at all.

Haven't played the '08 versions but have both the Red and Black '07's. LOVE the reds. They have a slightly softer feel and lower flight than the blacks. Both spin well on the green. Paid $19.98/doz. (got some at Target and some Reds from Golfsmith unboxed as overruns). Contrary to some posters, I've found the reds to be amazingly durable.

red has more spin.....

Incorrect! he TP Red (LDP) is a lower spin ball than the TP Black (LDP).

Last year's TP balls were the opposite.
