My Biggest Distance Gain Of The Year?!

TaylorMade are back with brand new versions of their TP5 and TP5x golf balls for 2024.
I gamed the TP5x golf ball all last season so I was excited to see what I could gain from upgrading to the new model.
In this video I meet up with Mike Fox, Senior Director of Product Creation for Golf Balls at TaylorMade Golf. He gives us all the technology updates on the new golf ball as well as putting me through a head to head test to see how much I can gain from the new TaylorMade TP5x golf ball. The results were seriously impressive!!

The quality of your content Hannah just keeps getting better and better. Really fun to watch this one.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Thank you!!!

[@chrisburton7776]

Just watched your Taylormade driver and TPx ball review videos. I’ve subscribed because your swing speeds and distances are very similar to mine and your reviews are therefore relevant to me. I’m an amateur male golfer of 55 years, less than 10 stone and WHS 6.7. I won’t ever be able to hit with the numbers like the PGA instructors do - so I can take their instruction with your equipment reviews and hopefully become the best golfer I can be…thanks keep the content coming.

[@garydavis8213]

H, your content this year is really advancing forward. Very enjoyable stuff you’re putting out there. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Thank you!!

[@waltersabati4476]

Thanks for sharing. 95% leaning towards TP5x. I’ll try it out this week in a tournament.

[@adamspencer9280]

Enjoyable video, endorse buying rather then Gym ing. Possible explanation for the skeptics, the old ball was 98 compression, the new one 71. Perhaps the old one was just not that efficient for Hanna. So we had an accumulation of undoing an inefficient ball plus new material gain. The guy did say it was the biggest gain of the day. Either way I enjoyed it a lot.

[@petrotmyrcz308]

Good video Hannah. I'll be checking in frequently.

[@simonwilson4240]

You do crack me up HH I do love the TM ball looks great looking forward to giving the new one a go

[@richardjacobs7632]

Interesting piece! Thanks

[@GP-tt2te]

Never been a fan of TM balls but this makes me wanna try their new ones for sure. Those gains are nuts.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Gains were crazy for basically identical club data, I was shocked!

[@tonyellis8761]

Wow … fantastic striking and a potential new ball …

[@OllyShawlive]

You made their day lol! I've just moved to a higher compression. It really makes a difference.

[@redgreen01]

Interesting video, I would have liked it if the cameras could go out where the golf balls finished.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

That would have been cool but there were lots of people hitting from both ends of a double direction range so it would of been tricky 😅😅

[@johncoyne6823]

Best tip of the year so far, great video.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ronchappell216]

GREAT video . . . Wow!!

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Thank you!

[@jameshenderson4205]

Hi, Hannah. Was there a noticeable difference with the sound and feel when testing the new TP5x? Thank you for all the videos you make about golf products and golf tips. Great job.

[@darrenbell1415]

interesting stuff. some lovely golf swings there Hannah. wonder how much difference it would make for an 18 handicapper, if any. lower swing speed, not as good strike etc.

[@AJPinto-YOYO]

Awesome video! Glad you did a golf ball review! I see in the comments that more golf ball reviews are coming. Sweet. I'm at the point now where I'm starting to discern "small" things like which ball I should use. I did the full bag fitting in the fall of 2021 and took lessons last year. I'm sort of at a plateau and am looking at things that can help with consistency and improvement. Probably finding "my golf ball" is something that is long overdue. I typically play whatever is on sale or what has been gifted to me. I can feel the cringe of those reading this post that know better. I'm sorry 😔, but I'm getting there now. Hannah, I'm definitely looking forward to expanding my golf ball education. I don't suppose you plan on including affordable offerings in your analysis as well? Similar to the variety of offerings manufacturers produce for different levels of golfer? (Max vs low spin, etc). Thanks!

[@ryajsmit]

Crazy with the ball change longest drive ever was with TP5 last year don’t think I’ll ever beat it again 383. Will be interesting testing this year

[@GregSmith-ox5ou]

IF this is true, it is the greatest argument for rolling back the golf ball I have ever seen. Driver distance is at its limit, which is why everyone is now talking forgiveness (10k etc), but the ball, that flies forever….

[@simoping]

Hannah.. you rip it... nice job. Nice ball too...

[@vinceschiavo5385]

Hannah, what were the differences when hitting driver with the 2024 TP5X?

[@andrewjohnston5942]

Interesting. I use TP5x when I play in hot climates, Spain in particular, find performance better than ProV1, but, I still use ProV1 in UK. I’m not sure for my 10 handicap, and swing speed, I’d get the gains you did. Good test, but I’ll stick with my old TP5x next week in Espana.

[@jason109301]

Great video

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Thank you!

[@frankielambardo9268]

The TP5X is absolutely the best ball Ive ever hit......i will never hit another ball except in the range.

[@nickmillar9651]

Great review Hannah. Was it the x or standard ball

[@hannahholdenNCG]

TP5x!

[@Baddmnkey1]

+7 mph ball speed on a 5i !?!?!? 😂 I needed a good laugh, Grassyass!

[@robertyu4313]

Hannah, I really enjoyed this video. Forget the gym, buy new golf balls instead --- great stuff. 🤣

[@adamvlassis4090]

I’ve been carrying my pitching wedge 250 with the new ball. Was at 200 with the last model.

[@johnbenoit1464]

200? A pitching wedge?

[@Pud56]

Caiton, £6.00 per dozen on offer, RRP £24 per dozen, various channels have tested them against all the major brands including TP5, they were as good in spin, distance and flight. My club pro gamed them for a months, he was amazed and is now a convert. I couldn’t believe how good they are, Chinese copy? Possibly, but they do work

[@paulmcgee1867]

Taylormade Distance work well too

[@Adrian-yv8sy]

wonder are they cranking the distance and this new ball so the rollback won't be too bad

[@GerryKou]

I tried the new ball vs the old ball because I use the tp5x but I saw 0 gain in yards maybe like 2 mph

[@edblair929]

Just saw lots of balls I will loose this year. 😞 Taylor Made can you supplement my golf ball stash please?

[@-What-are-your-thoughts]

You think Hannah could pass as Jordan Speiths sister. Been playing this ball for years can’t wait to try the new one. Wonder what the numbers would be if they hit the new ball first, then last year’s model.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Not sure about the Spieth thing 😂 regarding order of hitting balls, I had done a full warm up before this and a driver fitting so I was ready to go from the start

[@loutennant99]

Wow

[@aussiem8130]

I have 176 ball speed and couldnt care less unless your great from a hundred yards in your score wont change work on your wedges and putter

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

Hannah, love your videos but cooler heads need to prevail. We did this test with the new TP5 and simply didn't see any increase whatsoever over the current gamer (BridgestoneTour B XS) and last years TP5. We saw absolutely NO ball speed increases, let alone 7mph+ from an iron. TXG did this same test and the speeds of the '24 TP5x were comparable to to rest of the contenders (ProV1x and ChormeSoft Tour X). By the way, what he is saying about the 2024 TP5x being softer is absurd. It's the firmest clickiest ball I've ever hit from both putter and driver - and TXG agreed in their testing - (it's a rock). Hopefully you mic your videos differently in the future - your clothes mask much (not all) of the sound in your tests.

[@upnorth8265]

The Club Champion test you are referring to tested the Chrome Tour ball against the TP5X and ProV1x instead of the Chrome Tour X, which didn't make any sense.

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

@@upnorth8265 Mostly I'm talking about my own testing - but echoing their thoughts on the TP5x being an extremely clicky ball. TM telling anyone they are getting 7mph added ball speed on a refreshed ball is fairly ludicrous - especially with an iron. And I play TM product so no shade on the company as a whole.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Hello 👋🏼 I can only show you what my experience was when testing! The trackman data doesn’t generally lie in my experience. Obviously everyone will get different data depending on their swing and the fitter did say that I was an outlier and showed much more improvements than the general player. I will be doing later videos with more comparisons but this is just my initial findings. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sumitagg1]

In these tests, you should hit the new product before the old or hit another 5 old balls. Your swing had warmed up when you hit the new ball. I guarantee you had better strike on the new balls. That’s the only way to explain the difference.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

@@sumitagg1 I did a full warm up, an iron fitting and a driver fitting before I filmed this. I was 100% ready to go from ball one

[@nickmillar9651]

Your beautiful Hannah. You’ve been working hard

[@robertgray1756]

Not sure i would trust those increased figures given by two chaps wearing Taylor Made caps selling Taylor Made golf balls.

[@hannahholdenNCG]

Trackman generally doesn’t lie though and I did see the raw data

[@robertgray1756]

Those pants look great on you Hannah. Did you lose weight? Saint Valentine was kind to you this year, of course. Cheers

[@CharlotteK2008]

What a perv!!!! Creepy

[@home4ya]

doesnt TM "say" that every year, "2 clubs longer, this bubble shaft, err.. club, errr.. ball will change golf" #marketingkings not a fan of TM but enjoy your channel. ;0)

[@kurtiscarr4438]

I’ve never heard of a club manufacturer come out with a new product and say “last years was a little better.” How is TM any different than Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno etc. that releases new product every year? Titleist and Ping are mostly every two year product release cycles, but most of the rest are all the same.

[@andrewschilf9167]

You can't achieve a 1.45 smash with a 5 iron. What an Ad this is
