Taylormade Penta

[Jdb2005]

Are these the top premium balls from taylormade? How do they compare to pro v 1? Reason I ask is I've never took much notice of taylormade balls but found one of these today and thought it was pretty decent and would consider a change.

I found the original Penta was shorter than my other premium balls when they first came out and so I wasn't impressed. The latest incarnation is much better and compares well distance wise. The feel is still a little spongy for my liking but the father in law bought be a dozen for CHrimbo so feel compelled to use them

Cheers homer . Found good deals on eBay for tour penta balls that have practice written on them. Description says there for there staff players to practice with 2 doz at £30

I trialed a sleeve a while back while deciding which premium ball to move to.

Good enough ball but I prefer the Pro V1. Find a ball that works for you across the board and stick with it.

Decent ball, still find their way into the trees though:smirk:

Decent premium ball I found a tad firmer than pro v1, now been super ceded by the 'lethal' but at £15 a dozen thats a decent price.

Was/is my favourite ball.

TP is now 2 years old. TP5 was last year's replacement and close enough for me. Didn't like the TP3

Not found any Lethals yet, so untested.

Great price for those - and usable in all but elite comps.

Was going to ask that will they be proper premium balls even tho practice written on them. But sceptical about eBay

Most likely visual imperfect seconds. Perfectly acceptable as long as you don't mind practice stamped on.

I'd b willing to bet that if you had all the top premium balls with no Logo & got forum members to hit them they'd not be ale to tell them apart.

Sounds like a challenge has been laid down ;-)

I like the Penta. A bit firmer than the Pro V

 

[patricks148]

not a fan myself.

I liked the TP Red/Black but Penta's are not a patch on those. if i find any i either give them to a mate who uses any old ball or stick them in the pracice bag.

Even with no logos I could pick it some of them .... Bridgestone have a specific dimple pattern and shape, Callaway use a Hex shape, a pro v1 will look yellow after a few hours

I was meaning more on feel than appearance

I take it you've never hit a Callaway ball then :smirk:

Hi , The TMP are fast becoming a favorite with me, I have played Pro v1 for almost 5 year and distance wise i feel there's nowt in it!! Control around the green is 2nd to none( I play links so i have been practicing little knock down shots around the green and have been finding u can take or apply spin easy-ish) me and my boy go out every 2-3 weeks for a few hrs looking for balls, he now earns 50p a branny pro v and same for penta
oh and he's 7 before i get called a tight wad hahah
