taylormade tp5 and tp5x golf balls
five layers of innovation
p
layers looking for superior performance with all the clubs in
their bag may want to consider the newest five-layer ball
from TaylorMade. Because if they're good enough for world No. 1
Dustin Johnson, these golf balls are bound to help your game.
Hitting driver and long iron shots, golfers will notice a higher tra-
jectory and less spin, resulting in improved distance and
straighter ball flight. Because the five-layer composition essen-
tially creates two balls in one, the tp5 and tp5x also
perform extremely well inside 100 yards – the soft
outer cover is paired with a rigid inner cover to
help generate spin and increase control around
the greens. The TP5 has a slightly softer feel, with a
compression rate of 83 compared to the TP5x's 90.
"There has been a lot of hype about these new golf
balls," said Steve Ax, a club salesman and custom clubfitter at Van's
Golf Shop in Scottsdale, Arizona. "Golfers are seeing a little more
distance out of it, and everyone likes that."

WHAT'S NEW
taylormade
p750 & p770 and
m1 & m2 irons
improved
skill sets
s
ome of the best players in
the world have put these
irons in their bags this season,
and better players will appre-
ciate the effort that went into
designing the high-performance
p750 and p770 irons. With a classic
and clean look, these forged irons
feature a compact club head for
precise shotmaking and immedi-
ate feedback through impact.
Five grams of tungsten weight-
ing in the 3-7 irons gives both
the P750 and P770 a perfectly
positioned center of gravity. The
P750 set retails at a slightly higher
price point than the P770s – they
offer a narrower sole, thinner topline
and less offset, a combination that al-
lows for maximum workability. "They did a great job with these irons – the best they've
done in a long time," said Chris Nugent, the assistant manager at Uinta Golf of Sandy, Utah.
"They look like a piece of jewelry, and they're unbelievably good golf clubs. With that combina-
tion, they command a premium price."
