Taylormade TP5X – 1 Dozen

The TaylorMade TP5X is a premium five-layer tour golf ball engineered for golfers who prioritize distance and ball speed while maintaining solid greenside performance. The 2026 iteration features TaylorMade's revolutionary microcoating finish—a precision paint process thinner than human hair—that eliminates aerodynamic inconsistencies caused by traditional paint pooling in dimples. This innovation delivers the most consistent TP5X ever made.The ball's construction centers on a reengineered Speed Wrapped Core paired with progressively stiffened mantle layers that maximize energy transfer at impact. The result is low spin off the driver (approximately 500 RPM less than the softer TP5 sibling), higher launch angles, and a penetrating ball flight that performs exceptionally well in wind. A new Tour Flight Dimple Pattern further optimizes aerodynamics for maximum carry distance with minimal turbulence.On approach shots and around the green, the TP5X maintains respectable spin rates (around 7,300 RPM on wedge shots) through a softer cast urethane cover, though it produces approximately 200-300 RPM less spin than the standard TP5. This firmer-feeling ball suits golfers who generate adequate club speed and prioritize distance over maximum greenside spin. The TP5X is played on the PGA Tour by Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, and Tommy Fleetwood.The standard white, stripe, yellow, and pix models retail for $57.99 USD per dozen, making it a fair value compared to competing tour-level balls. Multiple visual options are available, including the Stripe design with 360° ClearPath Alignment™, white, yellow, pix, MySymbol and officially licensed NFL and collegiate designs.
