TP5 or ProV1?

[idefi]

I started the year with the B330, then tried the new Pro V1 and then made the shift to the TP5X and am now full circle back to the B330. The 5x is a great ball no doubt, but my budget isn't unlimited and every wedge shot that I hit looked like the ball just bounced off the road causing me to have to take it out of play. The 5x has good overall performance, has less spin which I loved as the ball wouldn't back off the green. But the fact that I would go through half a dozen per tournament round wasn't worth it. The 5x compared the Vx is night and day, spin on the Vx was not controllable where as the 5x did what it was supposed to.

 

Final thoughts, B330 is more durable and I feel it is more consistent in the wind.

Tp5 is a bit softer feeling. I don't know spin wise since strike matters much more, especially off the woods.

I like them both. Can't really tell much difference

I have played Pro V1 all my life. Was testing shafts on the course today with my TS3 3 wood. Hitting Pro V1's head to head with different shafts in different winds. The ground was very soft and wet and balls were plugging everywhere and I was struggling to find them. Found a Talormade Penta TP5. Never hit a Taylormade ball before. As was running out of Pro V's due to them plugging int he boggy ground I compared the Pro V1 to the TP5. The TP5 went a few yards further on 3 woods no matter what the shaft and the feel felt soft. At first I thought it was the shafts but kept switching the ball and the TP5 seemed to go that little bit further. I'm now very curious about this ball and may try it out and it in play.

The Penta is a different ball, much older.
