Rickie Fowler has been a long time user of the TP5 and TP5x golf balls from TaylorMade Golf, and in this video, he’s putting the old TP5x against the New 2024 TP5x. He hits five shots with the old and five shots with the new to see the difference in carry numbers and lets just say…there’s a big difference. Watch the video to find out.

Chris Trot here with Team tailor made joined by Ricky Fowler good to see you mate this is the 5×5 challenge I couldn’t think of anyone better to do this you’re actually hitting five iron as well which is perfect on the ground we have last year’s model and then the
New golf ball alternating all the way through the tp5x we’re going to illustrate to the folks watching differences between the shots talk about it but also gains and reference them as half a club or a full Club let’s see how this goes that’s impressive that he can call his
Shots beautiful ball flight those are major Numbers it just seems like it stays in the air just a little longer flew 10 further nine further so that would be we reference that probably as a whole golf club right all right so see if we can keep uh contact consistent sure anyone can do that it’s going to be
You it’s a great start beautiful ball flight one straight you’ve laid down a marker and the carry distance there with this Breeze 220 out the five IR it’s a good five IR yeah it’s a good five iron for me is right around 210 so okay about 10 help okay
Down the front edge flew a few yards further yeah for sure flew 10 further nine further so that would be we’d reference that probably as a whole golf club right I it’s close I mean obviously the further you’re hitting it it’s in the air it’s getting more help so stock
Might might be a little less than n yards extra yeah I mean if we look you can get deeper into looking at both golf shots here um maybe they launched a little higher on the old so it was squeezed a little more but I mean I think it’s a fair comparison and then
The main number we’re looking at for this test you’re getting 9.6 yards more out of it yeah let’s go through it a bit more but I mean that off one shot would be looking at one Club more yardage I mean that’s useful to a lot of people
Watching this yeah I would I mean I didn’t feel a whole lot different swing wise I mean I would say Club head speed was within a mile hour I wasn’t trying to do anything yep okay back to the original bull the old Bull is it good should be right around that 220 again 22.6 I’m fine with hitting 5220 it is downwind a little yeah these are actual numbers I’m not normalizing any of these one half enough on the green down there 224.210 three I’m being precise but you’re not
Even I like it so that’s almost half a club quarter of a club longer for sure yeah I mean so far we’ve been nine and three yards yeah and we have our averages in here if we take a look and I can give you those numbers just in carry
Now your averages are set 222 versus 227 so five yards half a club longer yeah I’d say it’s tough to obviously make huge gains a full Club is is that’s a lot to ask for that’s those are major numbers half a club is still a serious gain when you’re talking about
Just one ball or the other half a club for a player of your level is colossal that’s a good reference to make when we’re looking at that I agree back on the Old great golf shop good yeah no I was hit solid nice 2223 I mean it’s so impressive of of a show yeah we’re at 20 22 22 yeah that’s impressive a little skinny let’s see how that does then not quite his best hit still got the
Hop carry distance coming up now 225 225 so you’ve had a 224 225 and a 229 so still giving you the yardage let’s not study the average yet let’s go through the rest of the set old ball back in hung it just a fraction should still be right around
20 yeah 19.1 called it that’s impressive that he can call his shots new ball back in I’ll see if I can hit something that’s similar flight to that okay so we can go apples for apples I like It probably 24 25 yeah it just seems like like it stays in the air just a little longer and then let’s have a look now at our average with a couple to let to go and again carries really why we want to live here so your average differences are half a
Club yeah 21 to 26 five yards and I think the thing like obviously looking at averages is if um if it has Club head like to show that I’m not trying to swing differently yeah so Club speed there 998 and 10 100.1 so there’s the validation cuz obviously you can you can skew
Numbers if I cruise one and then swing harder at the other but if the swing speed or Club head speed is basically the same and then you see the gains yeah and what I like about this is you’re so great at controlling the blade that
He can say okay that third shot was it you hit or fourth shot and it was fourth that was slightly out to the right I’m going to hit the same flight and then you try and match it yeah just to keep things Fair here so we’re at half a club
With one more to go see if we can get a little extra oh little skinny that should still get its number it still be in that 220 range yeah impressive a calling these shots Bo I swung a little I went at it a little more trying to get like 225
Caught at a Groove low which will drop it so okay final shot the new tp5x she’s now got to find swing it a bit more aggressive with the groove low let’s see if you can do it flushed it good yeah I would assume that’s going
To be close to the first and like 28 29 all 32 32 so that might jump us up a little bit as we look at our averages here and just get into that it’s probably going to take us almost a three quarters of a club but we gave you a
Good summary where we were before the club speed is different by 04 and then as I move across into the carry we’re now 221 to 227 so yeah yeah I would say the five yards isn’t it’s fair to say that obviously I had the one slight Miss
And I hit one a little bit better um so you get a little skew there but I think we saw five yards across the board easy yeah fantastic I couldn’t think of anyone better to give us a test on that look at the div pattern the same contact
Point same low point every time numbers are showing it and he’s being honest what more can I do check it out it’s the brand new tp5 range of golf balls you got the X and you’ve got the five find out which one is right for you but also
