The TP5 Pix has received a slight makeover for the 2021 season. The ball as seen a slight increase in the Tri-Fast core size which has enhanced its already accomplished distance. Co-designed by Rickie Fowler, it has been designed to make it easier to line up on the greens, and also be more visible on the course. It has unique graphics that have been aligned on the ball in a way that makes keeping the ball on target easier, thanks to its clear path alignment. The new design gives you a line that is distinct so you can start your putt on the line you want, producing instant feedback to the player. The high contrast triangular shaped graphics are also great for making the ball easier to see through the air and on the turf.
New for the 2021 ball comes improved aerodynamics through its seamless Tour flight dimple pattern. Shallower dimples reduce drag during the climb of the ball, while steeper dimples maintain lift during descent for more drop and stop power. The new Tri-Fast core is slightly larger and more reactive to further increase its already accomplished distance.
The new version of the TP5 has been designed to add more speed and more distance to your game, without sacrificing spin and control. The new ball has been designed with a better rebound effect, propelling it off the clubface at higher speeds. A five piece structure is what allows TaylorMade to add this extra distance without lowering the spin numbers, which is something that has affected many of the best golf balls. The new slightly larger Tri-Fast Core gives a blistering, penetrating flight with low air resistance that keeps the ball in the air for longer.
The cover is very soft and has seen a slight improvement in abrasion resistance compared to previous year models, cast urethane gives the ball a great feel off the face, this is combined with top level durability and abrasion resistance so the ball lasts longer on the course. The speed layer system that TM has developed is made from 4 layers that increase in stiffness which is again what adds to the speed of the ball. On top of the yardage bonus, this helps you get more control when hitting shots and also more control in the wind. The system is also designed to achieve that high-level spin around the greens to knock it close time after time.
In comparison to the TP5x Pix: This TP5 pix version will spin slightly higher than the TP5x pix, have a slightly softer feel and show a slightly lower trajectory of flight in the irons compared to the TP5x pix.
