which one is best for both distance and spin? which would you choose out of these and why?

Posted
blacks---give a lil more spin, but i found the red to give more distance...just me, eithe ball will work very well for you tho.

the tayormade TP balls are better than pro v1 according to the guy who made them (he also made the pro v1 so he should know) which is why i have considered switching to them .

I use the TP Red. Switched from the HX tour 56. I find that the red is softer and spins more around the greens then the black. I get similar distance off the tee with both. The black has a definite "click" off the driver which makes it feel a little firmer.

It works just like Pro v1/v1x. pro V1 is a lil bit shorter, but it has a better feel.

actually, I think they usually recommend Black if you tend to slice the ball.

I have purchased a dozen of each in the past 2 weekends. I have a 6 handicap and to tell you the truth I could not find much difference. The black may have a little firmer "click" off of the clubs, but if they did not say "red" vs. "black" and have different colored numbers I might not be able to tell them apart. And right now they are on sale just about everywhere for $29.99 a dozen and for that price I will stock up on both. I just switched from Taylor Made irons and driver, but the TP golf ball is really nice. And other than being a little beat up cosmectically I was able to play 18 holes with each ball.

currently i play the black and love it but like most ppl said there is a minimal difference between both performance wise. a pro gave me a burner ball before the season ended here and i love that ball...the burner is supposed to replace both the red and black.

I roll with Black - less spin. If you strike the ball well these are the business. Won't see much difference between them unless you make good connection - the Red will spin more around the greens (and off the driver face:P)

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
