Rory McIlroy’s preference for the TaylorMade TP5x golf ball comes down to a combination of feel, spin control, and adaptability to his swing and course conditions.
It’s been said many times. The golf ball is the one piece of equipment that a golfer uses on every single shot. For PGA TOUR players, who are incredibly precise with their gear setups, they must be fully comfortable with the feel and performance of whichever golf ball model they use.
In offseason testing with the TP5x ball, TaylorMade said McIlroy gained distance with his irons and ball speed with his driver. The ball produced a flatter and lower peak trajectory with the driver and a softer feel with more spin around the greens.
