I started playing them last year and really enjoyed both of them. I find they go farther than the Pro V's on my average hits and keep the ball straighter. I find the Pro V1 though will spin more so if you're looking for primarily short game spin and control the Pro V's may be better but I prefer the TP line overall.

I got a dozen TP Black given to me yesterday. Usually play a ProV1x, but am going to give these a shot. Do the black spin more than the red?

Pro V = TP RED

Pro Vx = TP BLACK The TP Red is a little softer and offers more spin in the shorter irons while the TP Black is designed to be longer.

I've not bought any yet, but I think once I get through the remaining NXT Tours I will be getting some...

I found a TP red that looked like it had been hit once. Surprisingly, the ball lasted me 2.5 rounds (before it fell in a watery grave!)

The NXT Tour has a better flight off the driver, and more distance.
The TP red had great feel off irons, very similar to the ProV1
The ProV1 has better feel round the greens.

I'd say the TP red was a good step up from the NXT, but to me, the ProV1 is still a better ball, althogh the price reflects this.

When I get back to UK golf, where there is less water to lose balls in, I'll be back onto the ProV1 ball I would imagine, but its great to see Taylor Made producing a high quality ball that I see will take a % of the market from Titleist I am sure.

I have never liked the Titelist balls, to much spin for me. I create alot of spin and it is just too much. The TP Black is the longest ball I have ever played. I have not tried the red yet. Anyway, the black spins just fine for me, I spun it back on a fewh holes last week. I was just trying something new as I usually hit it so that it bounces and then stops. Best ball I have ever played. Though I used to really like the Slazenger Balatas back in the early 90's.

I always play pro-v, but have been checking out some new balls recently. I have a few dozen TP Blacks that I'm using now, and then am going to try the Callaway HX.

I am really liking the TP Black. A little longer than the Pro V, especially in colder weather. The cover is nice and has the professional feel similar to the Pro V.

they are illegal in competition....

I was right all along with the performance of this ball as it was blowing me away. Looks like they were illegal and have been removed from the USGA conforming list. Appears Taylormade is replacing with a conforming version called the "tournament edition".... I knew there was a reason why it surpassed the Prov... in a nutshell:
the de-listed(non-conforming that was removed from the USGA list) TP Red is stamped

You make it sound like the TP Red as a whole was a non-conforming ball. That's hardly the case.

Some of our TP Red golf balls were found to exceed the USGA's and R&A; initial velocity rule. Not many –

how are you able to tell though? Do the ones that do conform with the ones that don't have a different stamp? Thats what I thought I read but wouldn't the other 99.8% have the same stamp as the rare ones that are illegal?

Yes, the ones that are actually out of spec look the same as the ones that are in spec.

That's why they ruled all of the old ones as non-conforming - no way to tell them apart.

There's a new stamp on the new ones, all of which are legal.

This must be the reason for the huge sale on the Taylormade golf balls.

Could be. Everyone, ruin their plans! Buy the TP Blacks!

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
