Taylormade Penta Speed Ball at Golf Galaxy??

mjonzy20 · January 30, 2014

I was at GG over the weekend and saw a display of Taylormade Penta Speed balls for $25, but I seem to be unable to find any info on it. I thought maybe it was the Proto 33, but i didn't think they were releasing that yet. Hopefully it's similar to the TP3. Here's a couple of pics and data from the GG website, anyone got any more info???

SpeedMantle outer layer promotes faster ball speeds and more controlled spin on approach shots for unsurpassed playability. Low drag performance dimples provide increased distance on mis-hits.

The Proto 33 looks to have been the code name for the Project (a) that is replacing the RBZ Urethane for 2014.

The Penta Urethane, Penta Speed, & RBZ Distance look to be Dick's/Golf Galaxy exclusive offerings that are not part of the main TaylorMade line.

The Penta Speed has a surlyn/ionomer cover and looks to be a rebadged Rocketballz or Burner TP (same overall construction, 342 dimple pattern, and "Iothane" cover).
