So I was playing recently in a competition with one of the new TP Reds acquired during a recent trip to the US. I had done a bit of background reading about this ball (a lot of TM staff players have switched from ProV1) so I was very curious. I found it quite a nice ball actually, until I reached the 16th hole. My first putt from 15ft came up about 3-4 feet short. It sort of felt dead. I marked the ball and on examination I found a decent sized crack across the ball.
It was a new ball (only 16 holes old) so I was fairly shocked :shocked:
I can't recall doing anything unusual in any of the previous few shots. I hit a driver, 6 iron into the green and both seemed to go OK. I can only imagine the second shot did the damage.
So anyway, I sent the aforementioned ball with the sleeve it was purchased in to the UK Taylor Made people along with a note of explanation.
Hey Presto, 3 days later a note of apology arrived along with a sleeve of 3 new TP Reds. (Secretly I was holding out for a dozen!!) Anyway the European Customer Services Manager said he was sending the ball directly to the US R&D division (yeah right, I'll bet he chucked it in the bin!!).
So how has anyone else found this ball? And do you think 3 balls compensation is adequate?
