I was impressed with how the original  Tour Preferred Red and Black balls performed and I am eagerly anticipating giving version 2.0 a closer look.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/balls\/taylormade_tp_ldp_boxes.png\" height=\"179\" width=\"490\" alt=\"TaylorMade 2008 Tour Preferred Lineup\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Technology<\/strong><br \/>\nUtilizing new aerodynamics technology called Low-Drag Performance (LDP), TaylorMade is looking to help you gain more distance on off-distance hits. Since the vast majority of us don&#8217;t hit the center of the club face most of the time anyway, any additional help on mis-hits is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dean Snell, senior director of golf ball research:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We used the TaylorMade MATT (Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade) System to study the driver impact patterns of more than 80,000 players of differing levels. We found that the great majority of off-center hits occur on the upper part of the clubface, above the clubhead&#8217;s center of gravity (&#8220;CG&#8221;). We compared the effects of these types of mis-hits on a variety of balls, including our own. The result was always the same: spin-rate dropped by a large percentage, typically from 500 rpm to 1,200 rpm. Spin rates became so low that the balls couldn&#8217;t sustain lift. When that occurs, drag slows the shot down and the ball drops from the sky, seriously cutting carry and distance. With some models, the loss in yardage was exceptionally severe &#8211; up to 18 yards.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/balls\/taylormade_ldp_explained.jpg\" height=\"161\" width=\"350\" alt=\"LDP Explained\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The LDP technology, which is comprised of the combination of &#8220;every element that makes up the ball&#8217;s surface: the size and depth of the dimples, the angles of their edges and the symmetry in which they&#8217;re laid out&#8221; is now featured in the entire lineup of TaylorMade golf balls.<\/p>\n<p>According to their testing, there is a &#8220;clear difference in distance on mis-hits above the CG, as well as on mis-hits level with the CG toward the toe and heel, between balls with LDP and balls without it.&#8221; Needless to say, I&#8217;m quite intrigued to find out if this is true.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/balls\/taylormade_tp_ldp_balls.png\" height=\"167\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Tour Preferred Lineup\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><\/br>The Tour Preferred lineup: BurnerTP, Tour Preferred Red and Tour Preferred Black<\/p>\n<p><strong>New TaylorMade Tour Preferred Black <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tour performance and faster ball speed for players who prefer less spin<\/li>\n<li>Cast thermoset urethane cover delivers predictable spin and supreme shear-resistance<\/li>\n<li>360-dimple Low-Drag (LDP) improves distance on off-center hits<\/li>\n<li>Promotes high ball flight<\/li>\n<li>Feels softer than original TP Black<\/li>\n<li>Expected retail price of $39.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>New TaylorMade Tour Preferred Red<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cast thermoset urethane cover delivers predictable spin and supreme shear-resistance<\/li>\n<li>360-dimple Low-Drag (LDP) improves distance on off-center hits<\/li>\n<li>Promotes mid to low ball flight<\/li>\n<li>Feels 15% softer than original TP Red<\/li>\n<li>Expected retail price of $39.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>New TaylorMade Burner TP<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Combines awesome distance with tour-caliber bite and great feel<\/li>\n<li>HPF 1000 SpeedMantle169 boosts ball speed while limiting driver-spin and increasing iron-spin<\/li>\n<li>342-dimple Low-Drag Performance (LDP) aerodynamics improves distance on off-center hits<\/li>\n<li>Iothane cover feels soft, spins great and resists shearing, scuffing and scarring<\/li>\n<li>Tour performance at an incredible value<\/li>\n<li>Expected retail price of $24.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/balls\/taylormade_burner_ldp_balls.jpg\" height=\"427\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Burner LDP Balls\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>New TaylorMade Burner<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast, long and soft performance for every type of player who wants more distance<\/li>\n<li>New 360 High-Lift dimple configuration promotes higher launch angle and longer carry<\/li>\n<li>Energetic core boosts ball speed while retaining soft compression <\/li>\n<li>So amazingly soft it feels and sounds like a balata-covered ball<\/li>\n<li>Expected retail price of $19.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/balls\/taylormade_2008_noodle_plus_balls.jpg\" height=\"410\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Noodle Line-Up\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Noodle+<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 yards longer and 25% softer than before<\/li>\n<li>New core formulation boasts higher COR yet feels softer<\/li>\n<li>New 342-dimple configuration promotes increase hang-time, carry and distance <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Better performance than ever, yet still &#8220;priced for the people&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Expected retail price of $15.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Noodle+Lady<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Created specifically to appeal to women and perform better for women <\/li>\n<li>Live-Action Core compresses easily at moderate swing speeds to spring off the face fast <\/li>\n<li>Iothane 56 cover feels soft yet resists shearing, scuffing and cutting<\/li>\n<li>Highlights in the cover shine with a diamond-like sparkle <\/li>\n<li>Expected retail price of $15.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nTaylorMade has come up with some fancy engineering to help make the aerodynamics of their 2008 lineup better. Will LDP be the &#8220;next big thing&#8221; and actually help golfers make-up some of the distance lost due to our mis-hits? That remains to be seen but the idea seems to be a good one although it&#8217;s hard to imagine that a ball can &#8220;forgive your most common miss-hits.&#8221; Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I appreciate the potential for added distance, but the penalty is the same whether I hit it 250 yards out-of-bounds or 265 (perhaps LDP will assist my ball from going OB in the first place- that would be nice!).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/balls\/taylormade_2008_ball_lineup.jpg\" height=\"166\" width=\"490\" alt=\"TaylorMade 2008 Ball Lineup\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p>TaylorMade has an impressive ball lineup coming out for 2008 which will provide a decent array of options for golfers to choose from. While I won&#8217;t be able to get these on the course until the snow melts, I should have plenty of time to test out which ball feels the best off the putter. The entire lineup will be available January 1, 2008 at TaylorMade&#8217;s retail parters so you only have to wait a few more weeks to give these a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TaylorMade is ringing in the new year with some new LDP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bag_drop"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
