The TaylorMade TP5 golf ball is a premium golf ball engineered with 5 layers. Compare it with other balls in our golf ball compression chart.
Similar to the 2017 TP5 golf ball, the 2019 version combines the 2nd and 3rd layer of the core, to create a "Tri-Fast Core", which TaylorMade says controls the golf ball's flight by increasing launch and decreasing drag.
To boil that down, this golf ball is designed to launch high and reduce the drag on the ball when flying through the air.
TaylorMade says it improved the paint used on the ball to help its durability. The new "Soft Tough" cover is described as keeping spin and feel around the greens and off iron shots.

Short Irons, Wedges and Putting
