TaylorMade showcases new TP balls

Published:

TaylorMade has announced the release of Tour Preferred and Tour Preferred X: two Tour-calibre golf balls that have undergone a decade of prototype testing. 

Key to the performance of the two ball models is TaylorMade’s patented technologies, which include a new REACT core for greater ball speed on all shots for increased distance and a Spin Mantle, which is designed to deliver precise and consistent spin rates throughout the bag. A low-Drag 322-dimple pattern designed to minimise distance loss on low spin shots and also maintain a penetrating ball flight into the wind. 

Another new technology featured in the golf balls is Soft Tech, TaylorMade’s softest and most durable cover to date. Made of a cast urethane, the new cover provides an even softer feel around the greens than previous TaylorMade offerings. The Soft Tech cover will also provide higher resistance to shearing and will last longer.

“Golf ball innovation doesn’t just happen overnight. Rather, it is a series of ongoing conversation with our Tour players,” said Dean Snell, vice president of golf ball R&D. “These conversations have led to the introduction of breakthrough technologies including low drag aerodynamics for ultimate wind resistance, a five-layer construction for superior control throughout the club set and now our softest and most durable cover.”

The Tour Preferred is designed for players who desire more spin in the mid-to-long iron shots. The additional spin will also promote a higher trajectory on approach shots. Tour Preferred X maintains the same spin and trajectory into the green as its predecessor Lethal. Unlike Lethal, Tour Preferred X promotes better green side control because of its new Soft Tech cover.
