TaylorMade has added a new model to its Tour-preferred golf ball range with the launch of the TP5 and TP5x Stripe.
Both balls feature TaylorMade’s 360° ClearPath Alignment aid, which consists of a 22mm-wide black band that wraps around the centre of the ball to match putter sight lines.
The design of Stripe also makes proper strikes easily identifiable as the Stripe rolls consistently towards the hole, while off-centre strikes cause a noticeable ‘wobble’ of the band.
Michael Fox, TaylorMade’s Senior Director of Product Creation for Golf Balls, said: “The reason golfers have fallen in love with the 360° ClearPath Alignment Stripe is because it really allows them to lock in on their line from behind the ball. The immediate feedback about how the golf ball rolls is pivotal as well.
“Countless hours were spent having real golfers line up putts with 360° ClearPath Alignment and we found that the digital band helped them to aim more accurately.”
World No.12 Tommy Fleetwood, who currently plays TaylorMade’s TP5x pix ball, is currently testing the TP5x Stripe and using it as an alignment aid during practice.
Both balls feature the same design technology that is used in the latest version of the TP5 and TP5x balls that were launched in February 2024.
The new TP5 and TP5x Stripe are available to buy from August 29, with an RRP of £49.99 per dozen.
