TaylorMade to Launch 1st 5-Piece Golf Ball

Many golfers say that their golf ball performs great in their short game but sacrifices distance, while other golfers said the complete opposite, so to overcome this, TaylorMade have produced the revolutionary Penta TP golf ball, which performs well in all areas.

The Penta TP golf ball is the first Tour golf ball to feature 5 solid layers, with each layer engineered to optimise performance in five key shot categories that skilled golfers need – driver, long-irons, middle-irons, short-irons and short wedge shots. The 5 layers of Penta TP golf ball include the core, inner mantle, middle mantle, outer mantle and cover, and each of these plays a critical role in optimising the performance of each of the five key shots.

This new golf ball will suit golfers with a variety of swing speeds, with slower swings obtaining a benefit from the outermost layers, and golfers with a faster swing speed obtaining benefit from all of the layers. When you move into the scoring zone on the golf course, and take your wedge out of your golf bag, the Penta TP golf ball helps to generate more spin, which will be particularly important after the groove-change rule to be implemented in high-level competitions by the USGA and R& A in 2010.

The Penta TP golf ball is already being used on Tour, first by Sergio Garcia and Retief Goosen at the PGA Championship, and then later by Justin Rose, Y.E. Yang, and Jason Day. Professional golfers usually take months of testing before changing their golf ball, but TaylorMade discovered that golfers were switching to the Penta TP after as little as 9 holes, showing the dramatic effect it has on their golf.

Which Golf Ball is Right for You?

When choosing a golf ball, many golfers head straight for the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball, without a second thought as to which golf ball would best suit their game. Here at Onlinegolf, we want to help you make the best decision possible, resulting in you lowering your scores on the golf course.

First things first, what are you look for from a golf ball? The first general difference is between distance golf balls and spin golf balls. As the name suggests, distance golf balls are designed to give you greater length on your shots, getting you onto the green in fewer strokes, while spin golf balls give you enhanced control as you approach the greens.

High handicap golfers will appreciate distance golf balls as they increase the length of your shots, which high handicappers generally need. However, if you tend to lose a few golf balls over 18 holes of golf, check out our range of Clearance Store Golf Balls for great golf balls at incredible prices.

As you start to improve, it could be worth upgrading to Lake Golf Balls, which have been rescued from various hazards at golf clubs, before being restored to Grade A quality, and made available to you at a great value price, giving you premium golf balls without the premium price tag.

Spin Golf Balls offer the ultimate in feel and control to improve your performance around the greens of the golf course. These golf balls are of particular benefit to low handicap golfers who have no problems with distance, but require more touch and feel around the green.

Those are the main types of Golf Balls, if you’re completely new to golf, you may find that you need different golf balls as your ability improves and your handicap lowers.
