Best low cost TP Black alternative?


duffer888

Recommended Posts

They are gone, now what?
I've been addicted to the discount/practice TP Black balls for $20-30 the past 2 years and now it looks like they are gone for good, as I can't even find them NIB. I know I can go ProV1x as a high $$ alternative, but what is the best alternative in the $25-30 range? From the latest GD ball article, it looked to me the Burner TP might be the best lower cost alternative. What have TP Black players switched to?

What's in the Swift X?

The TP Black are still available in some stores. They are now priced at $30 per dozen. The TP Red is hard to find nowadays.

Callaway Tour i/iX are now $30, maybe it's a good alternative. How about trying the Bridgestone E series? Or the Topflight Gamer V2?

Go to Lostgolfballs.com, order what you want. Great used balls.
That said, was not aware of TP Blacks going anywhere. Thought
the Penta was to replace only the TP Reds. But I could be mistaken.
Good Luck!!

My local target had them today for $39 per dozen. Not really discounted but had to pick up a dozen. Great ball!

^^ Send your Canuck friends to buy you some!

I've played the Black (not extensively), but the ball it reminded me of was the Z-Star X. Not sure if that's a great savings for you, but cheaper than ProVs.

Only real difference to me was that the Z-Star X ad more bite around the green than the Black. Trajectory and feel were so similar, I likely couldn't have told them apart if you covered the logos.

I'm not sure, but I even think the Burner TP (really the old Maxfli Tour Fire but with LDP) is going to be discontinued for the Burner Plus. I've gamed these a bit and they're a nice all-around ball like the Nike Vapor and the TF Gamer. However, those ionomer covers simply don't spin like Urethane.

I didn't think the Blacks had been discontinued, only the Reds. Golfsmith and Golf Galaxy still are selling them on their websites. The last time I was at Walmart, they had plenty of Blacks and the last time I was at PGA Tour Superstore they had plenty of the Blacks AND the Reds! All are priced the same, $29.95 USD.

And right now, you can get the Tour D for under $20 a dozen at Rockbottom - that's a SUPER deal.
