Taylormade TP red and black

Question

what are the difference between the taylormade tp red and taylormade tp black? and how are they comparable to the pro v1 and pro v1x

Answer 1

The red is a slightly lower compression, probably around 90, whereas the black will be at about 100.  ALL golf manufacturers now use the black/red/blue color codes for compressions of their balls.  Black 100/red 90+ and blue 80+.

As far as are they comparable to the Prov V's?  I've played the reds (never the black) and I like them very much.  IMO the PRO V is over rated for the average golfer.  If you're not a 10 cap or better don't bother spending the money.

Answer 2

The TP Black is a higher spinning golf ball that compares to the Pro V. I have played both golf balls and i couldnt tell the difference when it hit them side by side, i was shooting the same scores with both golf balls. But now that i use a hard golf ball, the TP Red compares to the Pro V1x. it is slightly longer off the tee, but the Pro V1X has a better feel around the green. Depending on what you like, depends on which ball you play. I spin the ball a lot with all of my clubs, so i play a harder ball, which means i would choose the TP Red ball. But my friend doesnt spin the ball as much, and he uses the TP Black Ball.
