TaylorMade Golf – Brooke Henderson chooses to join Team TaylorMade to play TP5x golf ball and Tour Preferred glove

20 January, 2022 REDACCIÓN

January 20, 2022 – TaylorMade Golf Company adds to its impressive roster of talent with the addition of Brooke Henderson, the winningest Canadian golfer on major professional tours with 10 LPGA TOUR wins, including the 2016 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and 2018 CP Women’s Open.

The 24-year-old Henderson, currently ranked No. 11 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, signs a multi-year contract with TaylorMade Golf to play TaylorMade’s flagship golf ball franchise, TP5x, as well as wear the Tour Preferred Glove.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Brooke to the TaylorMade family. Brooke is undoubtedly an incredible representative of the game of golf, already with several historical accomplishments at her young age that have inspired fans of golf across the world. Her decision to come to TaylorMade and play our TP5x golf ball reinforces our commitment to putting the highest performing golf ball in the hands of the best players across men’s and women’s tours,” says David Abeles, TaylorMade Golf CEO.

After extensive testing in the off-season, Henderson decided the best performing golf ball for her style of play is the new TP5x. With sister Brittany on the bag for a seventh year, Brooke will play No. 7 on her TP5x.

“Right away the TP5x performed at a high level. I gained yardage off the tee, which is huge for me, while I still was able to have the right amount of spin and great feel around the greens. I also noticed that my iron shots were piercing through windy conditions and holding the line very well. It was really eye opening and I am beyond excited to put the TP5x in play this season,” adds Brooke Henderson.

The path to distance has evolved with the all-new TP5x. In 2017, a movement began with the optimal spin and launch conditions provided by a 5-layer construction. Then, it increased ball speed with the HFM Speed Layer and now added advanced aerodynamics with the new Tour Flight Dimple Pattern.

In addition to the golf ball, Henderson will also wear TaylorMade’s premium glove offering – the Tour Preferred Glove, the glove of choice for TaylorMade Tour players constructed from premium materials for optimal comfort, fit and feel.

TaylorMade Golf – Milestone performance improvements in new 2019 TP5 & TP5x golf balls

3 January, 2019 REDACCIÓN

January 3, 2019 – TaylorMade Golf has announced today the release of its enhanced 2019 TP5 and TP5x golf ball models. Highlighted by its new High-Flex Material (HFM) TaylorMade has taken the 2017 TP5 & TP5x to a new level of performance.

“With the new TP5 and TP5x golf balls, we knew there was an opportunity to make them even faster. Our research into the driver and ball interaction at the moment of impact along with the development of a new material (HFM) has given us the ability to more efficiently convert compression into speed, at any swing speed. The new Speed-Layer System (SLS) controls spin rates that is critical for driver, iron and wedge performance,” says Eric Loper, Director of Golf Ball R&D of the company.

The key to achieving enhanced speed without impacting other areas of performance comes down to the ability to weave the new High-Flex Material (HFM) within TaylorMade’s proprietary 5-layer ball construction. In traditional golf balls with 3 or 4 layers, manufacturers are unable to utilise a soft core ‘AND’ maintain high ball velocities.

With the 2019 TP5 and TP5x, speed and spin are effectively decoupled—which enables an incredibly soft core to be “wrapped” by increasingly stiff materials, creating a Speed-Layer System with each outer layer getting progressively faster.

Based on initial player testing with the 2019 TP5 and TP5x, the top athletes in the world are experiencing speeds they’ve never seen before. During a recent testing session, Jon Rahm (who averages 177-179 mph ball speed with driver) was seeing numbers upward of 186 mph with an average of around 182.5 mph. Additional TaylorMade staff professionals also experienced noticeable gains in ballspeed at a recent testing session across high, mid and lower swing speeds.

New Speed-Layer System with HFM

The new Speed-Layer System is comprised of four increasingly stiff layers, featuring a new material called HFM. HFM is the fastest material TaylorMade has ever used and is essentially a tightly wound spring and when compressed generates more rebound energy for more ball speed. The tightly wound spring characteristic of HFM also increases the force on the driver face, further increasing the speed of the golf ball when it leaves the driver face.

Tri-Fast Core

The Tri-Fast Core consists of an extra-large, low-compression inner core (16 compression in TP5 & 25 compression in TP5x) and a progressively stiffer outer core and mantle. The combination of these three layers work in conjunction to create lower drag and increased carry—the primary reason TP5 and TP5x have become the hottest Tour balls in golf. The Tri-Fast Core delivers breakthrough iron performance by achieving maximum carry, giving golfers of nearly every swing speed (over 60 mph) choosing less clubs into the green.

Dual-Spin Cover

The Dual-Spin Cover boasts an ultra-soft cast urethane cover and a 30% more rigid inner cover. This system creates a condition that is ideal for greenside control, as the rigid inner cover forces the soft urethane cover into wedge grooves for maximum spin generation.

Additional enhancements in the 2019 TP5 and TP5x models includes a new Soft-Tough cast urethane cover. In order to achieve improved scuff resistance, shear resistance, and overall durability, the new cover features a cast urethane compound and new paint formulation to help each ball feel better and last longer.

With the improved cover durability, new HFM material, and TaylorMade’s proprietary 5-layer design, TP5 and TP5x are able to produce optimal flight, velocity, and control regardless of which model golfers prefer to play.

HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE 2019 TP5 & TP5x

The 2019 TP5 and TP5x offer complete tee-to-green performance thanks to TaylorMade’s patented 5-layer construction. While both deliver significant distance off the tee, the TP5 has a softer feel (85 compression), launches lower on iron shots and has more spin around the greens (+300 compared to TP5x at 100 yards & +200 at 30 yards) while the TP5x has a firmer feel (97 compression) and will generate higher launching iron shots. TaylorMade staffers anticipated to play the TP5 are Rory McIlroy and Beau Hossler, while Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm and Jason Day will expectedly gravitate toward the TP5x model.

Availability: 2019 TP5 and TP5x, on 15th of February.
RRP: 58€ per dozen.

TaylorMade Golf – New TP5 and TP5x, the best Tour golf balls to perform with every club

13 December, 2016 REDACCIÓN

December 13, 2016 – TaylorMade Golf, leader of product innovation and technology in golf, has announced the release of its 2017 golf ball lineup, highlighted by the two new models: TP5 and TP5x. For the first time, two golf balls incorporate 5-layer construction to actively improve or increase driver/iron distance, control and spin without sacrificing any industry leading greenside performance.

The unique advantage for both TP5 and TP5x starts with proprietary 5-layer ball construction. In traditional golf balls with 3 or 4 layers, golfers are forced to settle for high wedge performance at the expense of distance, or more driver/iron distance at the expense of losing control and feel around the greens. TP5 and TP5x feature varying 5-layer constructions, whereby each ball maximises driver and iron distance while also delivering best in class wedge performance and greenside spin.

This is achieved by a unique progressive construction manipulating the size, compression, and materials of each layer, which allows the decoupling of driver and iron speed from iron and wedge spin – a formula that can be directly attributed and only obtained through a 5-layer construction.

TRI-FAST CORE: The Tri-Fast Core consists of a very low compression inner core (TP5x = 25, TP5 = 16) and a progressively stiffer outer core and mantle. The combination of these three layers work in conjunction to create lower spin and increased velocity. This gradient is what makes the Tri- Fast Core so unique, as it builds up speed in transferring energy from the club face to the ball and delivers incredible distance on full shots.

DUAL-SPIN COVER: The Dual-Spin cover boasts an ultra-soft Cast Urethane cover and a rigid TP inner cover. This system creates a condition that is ideal for greenside control as the rigid inner cover forces the soft urethane cover into wedge grooves for maximum spin generation. The result is a multi-layer cover that is designed for extreme distance without sacrificing feel or control around the green.

Tee-to-Green Performance

TaylorMade Golf engineers have found that the golf ball category, in its current state, is largely built on compromises. The team’s goal from the outset with TP5 and TP5x was to create a product that was longer, straighter, better into the wind, and responsive around the green. 5-layer construction allow to unlock these characteristics, leaving the golfer with a golf ball that has been optimised for any and every shot they may face – a ball that has been meticulously engineered to perform with every club in their bag.

Some of the best Tour players in the world helped in the creation of TP5 and TP5x. The company wanted to deliver a ball that would be their Nº1 choice regardless of the type of shot they were trying to hit. TP5 and TP5x are able to deliver on this promise, with incredible length off the tee, best-in-class distance on full iron shots and greenside spin and control that’s second to none. With TP5 and TP5x, TaylorMade has delivered with 5 layers and zero compromises.

As #1 player in the world Jason Day said it, “This makes my current ball feel outdated,” and also Sergio García said: “You can tell immediately that ths is a better ball. And first impressions are everything.”

CHOOSING BEETWIN TP5 AND TP5x

TP5 and TP5x offer complete tee-to-green performance thanks to TaylorMade’s patented 5- layer construction. The Tri-Fast core and Dual-Spin cover give golfers more performance where it matters most – distance and wedge spin. Other characteristics can be more subjective, so we have given golfers two options to choose from. TP5x is slightly firmer and launches higher, and TP5 features a softer feel with mid launch.
