I currently play the lethal and it is a great ball, it just is so rediculusly expensive!  Any recomendations for a replacement around $30 a dozen?

Play the Penta TP5, it's last years version of the Lethal.  I've been picking them up for $25 / dozen

What's the deal with the Lethal? Some pro was telling me that I need to check it out. He said it is long off the tee. Anyone?

Wait, wait, don't tell me.

High launch, low spin off the tee....

Right?

It's deja vu all over again.

Actually they are pretty good off the tee.  At least for me!

This guy was telling me that for guys @ 100 ss it was a ball to reckon with.

Yes, but they are now at ProV prices ...

I just can't get myself to pay more than $32-35 for a premium ball.

$25 for the TP5 is even better.

This is a Pro V1x/Lethal/Penta/anything quality ball for $35: KickX Tour Z . It's the ball I play. Sorry, but true - and I wouldn't play it if it didn't work well, as I can get balls free (enough to play anyway) from anyone.

Dang! Really? I just bought a couple dozen tp3's because they were that price. I would have preferred the 5's but they weren't on sale yet. And, Erik, I also intend on trying out the kick x too! I've been experimenting all around lately. Liking the tp3s for now.

One of my buddies over at the PGA Superstore gave me a sleeve of the TM Lethal to play last week. I really liked them. Then I went into the store and saw a box on the shelf.....$45.99! No thanks.

Yes, TP5's have been discounted almost everywhere.  Check out RockBottom, they are selling TP5's for $26.99, TP5 Practice for $19.99 and TP3 for $19.99.

Any idea what TaylorMade ball replaced the Lethal? Is the Tour Preferred a 5 piece ball?

Yes, and yes. TM hasn't released a ball in nearly 2 years, which is a loooooong time for them.

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.
    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm. 
    • Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
