2008 TP Black LDP

does it fit in between the Pro V1X & Pro V1 ?
I am looking for a ball that fits between the V1X and V1.....I like the spin of the X, but not crazy about it off the driver.... and I hit reg. Pro V1 too high and lose yardage

from what I have read and searched in here.... DOES THE BLACK FIT BETWEEN THOSE TWO BALLS, MAKING IT THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS? ... (medium launch with great greenside spin?)

Early this year I switched to the V1x because I was hitting the V1 too high and spinning it a little too much.

 

I then tried the TP Red and liked it a lot, but simply couldn't spin it enough on chips and 3/4 shots.

 

I played my first 18 with the TP Black this past week. The V1x and the TP Red fly lower...but I think the TP Black flies a little lower than the V1.

 

The spin on the TP Black was just right for me, similar to the V1x.

 

So I would say the TP Black is in between the V1 and the V1x, but closer to the V1x.

 

The TP Red is for people who really, really put a lot of spin on the ball.

if the black launches in between the X and the V1, that could become my ball

 

I have read some say it is harder than the red... so does it feel too hard or is it still soft feeling anyway?

The Black feels great off all clubs IMO. Its an excellent ball and I keep both the Red and the Black in my bag (This is not another sergio-like endorsement). Played the Red today due to the wind.

so, if you played red today bcuz of the wind--- was it to keep ball down or does the black not hold its line as well in windy conditions? what differences have you noticed between the two balls?

Again, it's probably in between the Titleist balls....not as firm as the V1x....

 

I've read the TP Red is a little softer than the TP Black...not a big difference to me.

I think you are on to something about the Black being between the ProV1 and ProV1x. I had been playing the ProV1 and ProV1x depending on where I played. I hated the fact that I couldn't decide on one. I loved the ProV1 around the greens, but I was much longer with the ProV1x. I found that the Black is perfect to be perfect for me. It is even longer than the ProV1x for me but I don't fill like I give up much around the greens. Plus I am a firm believer that the LDP technology is no joke. Mishits high on the face seem to travel almost as far as well struck balls.

i found the 2008 tp black to play pretty similar to the prov1, flew a little higher for me. I loved the feel which is firmer than the v1 but also has a little give.

just to throw a wrench in things: i've been playing the 2006 nike black and find this ball to sit somewhere between the v1 and v1x. I like it a lot and am looking forward to trying the new version.
