Has anyone else played these recently.  I would like a comparison between the penta tp and the penta tp5.  I am almost out of the tp which I like so I am trying to decide between the old penta to save a few dollars and the tp5.  Thanks.

You can get the TP5's for about $30/dozen right now.  They are buy 2 dozen get 1 free.  I just bought 3 dozen off Amazon for just under $90 shipped to the door.

Are the Pentas still for sale?  Where and how much?  Fantastic ball; can't really compare it to the Penta TP5 as I haven't played the new ball.

I haven't seen the 2011 Pentas in stores since ~ February.  I'm sure you could buy them off of Ebay pretty easily though?  I've played both the TP 2011 and the TP5 2012 (bought a dozen when they first came out)... And couldn't distinguish a difference.

I still have 4 dozen of the TP 2011's though to burn through before I buy more balls.  And currently playing with a dozen Tour Z premium balls which I will be doing a review of shortly.

I've now played 3 rounds with the new TP5's and I have to say I'm quite impressed.  They seem to be noticeably longer off the tee than what I was playing before (Nike Tour One) and also longer than the original Penta TP.  It's been a while since I've played the Pro V and Pro V1, so I don't have that to compare to.

If anyone is wanting a premium ball at a non-premium price, and you can still find the buy 2 get 1 free deal, I'd definitely recommed the TP5.  For an average of $30/dozen, I don't think you're going to find anything that can compete with them.

    • What technology? There’s not much. Or a spreadsheet. 🤣😜
    • I was thinking about what you suggested on this. And it's very possible its true.  I was also thinking, why wouldn't they have a piece of software that tells them something like: "If you drill the shaft hole at x angle and the shaft is y long, but the weights in A, B and C locations at D, E and F amounts? I mean we aren't modelling anything here that isn't a known relationship?  I've been in the manufacturing world a long time (33 years.) I've worked for and seen tons of manufacturers in the US who can handle one-piece flow with no hiccups what so ever.  I would love to take a plant tour and offer my services to these guys. On a whim, I looked on their webpage and they do have two positions available. A fulfillment associate and a fitting representative. Both at positions are at their plant in OR. Neither of these was a lean manufacturing engineer so I moved on.  I apologize for beating this dead horse.  I'm not sure why the cost adder for custom built from standard parts bothers me so much. It could be because I've worked so many places that just have you build up a nomenclature which relates to a build sheet and end of line test. Which equals no cost adder for standard parts. Maybe it's because I once toured the Roles Royce plant in England and thought "I'd never feakin buy one of these cars." Maybe I've been spoiled by PXG and Mizuno, the last two places I've order custom fit irons from. They customized each club including lie angle tweaks, loft tweaks, length tweaks, weight port tweaks, etc... No cost adder.
