Fair – thanks! Was hoping you might say it was softer than ProV1x, tbh. I use ProV1x even though I hate the feel of hitting a rock. Would much prefer the feel of something softer, but results-wise I’m consistently longer with ProV1x with driver and irons than anything else I try and seem to have plenty of spin from in short, so I’m “stuck” with it, I guess. Will eventually try the TP5x once I need to restock.

Brian,

I prefer the feel of the TP5 to the ProV1x as I generally prefer the softer ball in any two ball OEM pairing.

Best,

Matt

Mike,

You said it: I can’t answer that for you. I’d suggest buying a sleeve and hitting them on the course.

Best,

Matt

Mike,

They’re close. My feeling is that there are certainly differences in the premium category but a lot of people make way too much of them.

Best,

Matt

Got my first HIO with TP5 2021 version love the slightly softer 2024 version fits my under 90 mph swing speed.

Matt,

How would you compare the TP5x to a ProV1x in terms of feel? TaylorMade is promoting the new TP5x as being faster yet softer-feeling than the old TP5x

I got both balls to test and around the green the TP5 stops…. the tp5x will roll out. That is across the board I found if you hit the spin button you are getting your carry and not much more with the tp5. If i had a place with super fast greens or played a dry fast Muni I would use the Tp5.

I use the TP5X

Hi Matt. Thank you so much for your review. I currently play the pro v1…I love everything about the ball except I would like to see a higher flight on my driver (the pro v1x seems too spinny to me). Do you know if either of the TP5s fly notably higher than the pro v1 off the driver (mid 90 club-head speed) with similar spin, or is that an impossible ask? Thank you!

Hi Matt! Great review as always! As a low spin player myself I’ve been looking at TP5 and ProV1x. Do you have any preference between those balls as far as feel and spin for a lower spin player? I also don’t have a ton of speed so a little extra distance helps too! Thanks again for all your great reviews!!

I have been playing the new TP5X and absolutely love the ball from green to tee. I love its feel and responsiveness around the green; I think it has improved my up and downs for sure. Approach shots needed some adjustment as I was about 1/2 a club longer in distance, but flight and window were on par for what I like. And on the tee? This ball definitely goes further than other golf balls I’ve used. I do have a low spin driver but still when compared to other balls the new TP5X comes out ahead.

I’m going to buy as many as I can before the rollback takes effect!
