What’s the diff in the practice and the real retail ones?

 

Oh a 90 compression rating...

 

Usual tour balls are over 100

 

Oh never mind. The new TP5x retail is 90 also.

 

Good deal!

 

Yea, it’s not the compression. I know with the Penta TP the practice balls were ones that had slight blemishes, many times it was something slightly wrong with the logo, but other times it can be something else minor that causes it to not make it through the final inspection. I gamed the practice Penta’s for a few seasons and never noticed it to play any different than the regular retail version. That was one of my favorite balls of all time, picked up two dozen tp5’s hoping they play somewhat similar.

I tried to order but their site comes up funky on an iPhone when you go to check out. I may try again today from my laptop. Has anyone successfully gotten their balls and had no headaches? Bad websites in this day and age kind of weird me out.

 

I got an email today with a tracking # showing mine had shipped. Have ordered from golfdiscount numerous times in the past with no issues.

Cool, thanks. Got 2 of each of them ordered. Added 1 box of retail TP5x for free shipping to get to a total of $111.23 or something close to that. Was on the fence about the retails. But you save $8 with free shipping. So that takes the retails down to around $2.66 on a $4 ball, so that’s doable.

 

Thanks OP!

Good deal if you don't mind the nasty logo on them. I personally have had better luck and more variety with the following site: https://twoguyswithballs.com/chris/. I received free shipping as a VIP.

 

That logo isn’t nasty at all on them, it’s just the word practice that can easily be drawn through with a sharply if one chooses... $18 a dz is a crazy good deal on these balls brand new.

So we can pay $69 to be a VIP and get free shipping? And, it's only $10 more per dozen to get used balls with hand drawn sharpie marks vs these new balls with a clean printed word. Makes sense.

 

I do understand what you're saying. When you're the brand ambassador for a website, you have a vested interest to talk down about these kinds of deals.

The only difference is they have the word PRACTICE stamped on them, same as if someone ordered personalized balls and the person’s name was Practice.

That's it. I'm changing my name. Of course when I was growing up I thought my first name was "goddamit".

I was more referring using a better used ball for tourneys. You can't beat the $10/dozen if you are using them just for practice.

 

You can’t beat the price for a tourney ball either. There is nothing about these practice balls that makes them illegal for tourneys. No different than one having a ball personalized.

Anybody play these practice TP5X and TP5 yet? I just got mine today. How are your rounds looking with the practice ones vs retail?

 

I have played a number of rounds with the TP5x practice balls I purchased and I have played them side by side with the retail balls, I literally could not tell you a single difference. If you don't mind looking at the word practice on the ball, these are well worth the savings. Of course you could also put a black sharpie line over the word practice too!!

I’ve played one round with mine, granted I’d never played the ball before, but I felt it performed at least as good as the B330s I had been playing, and in some respects, better.

 

I know years ago I played both the Penta TP and the Penta TP Practice and could not tell one bit of difference other than my practice balls had a line on them I where I had sharpied over the world “practice”...

Great feedback, I have have a few boxes of retail TP5X along with the practice TP5 and TP5x and I’m def not a birdie player as of 2018. I doubt I ever notice the diff.

I picked up the same practice balls at my local Edwin Watts and I'm confident they are all part of the same lot TM sent out to their vendors. There were a few that had some really bad paint, which is why they are being sold as practice balls to begin with. I honestly don't care about little specs of bad paint or even a small nick or two, but this was big enough for me to put them in my shag bag for short game practice.

 

 

To describe what mine looked like, imagine painting a golf ball and then immediately rubbing it against a sheet of paper.

 

A majority of them looked perfect. Just like the retail balls. Just be aware that they could have significant blemishes, as advertised, that would likely prevent you from putting them in play
