LIMITED QUANTITY IN STOCK !!!
The TaylorMade Penta TP golf ball has been designed to give the better
player performance in five key areas: driving, long-irons, mid-irons,
short-irons and around the greens. The first golf ball featuring five
solid-layers, the TaylorMade Penta TP delivers in every aspect of golf
ball performance. The five layers of the Penta TP consist of the Cover,
Outer Mantle, Middle Mantle, Inner Mantle and Core, all of which combine
to give tour level performance for every level of player.
The Penta TP boasts a soft Urethane Cover that promotes the coveted
combination of lower launch angle and higher spin-rate with the tour
soft feel. Layer 2 is the Outer Mantle that has been designed by
TaylorMade to give the Penta TP unparalleled control with the shorter
irons and because it is positioned just under the cover it is easy to
compress giving the added advantage of greater distance for players with
slower swings.
The Middle Mantle of the Penta TP promotes mid-launch and mid-spin from
the middle irons for supreme control of direction and trajectory whilst
the Inner Mantle promotes high launch and low spin from the longer irons
for the high, soft landing ball flight needed to stop shots from
distance on the green. The final element of the Penta TP is the core,
the true engine of the ball, an extremely soft, low compression layer
that promotes high launch and low spin from the driver, the ideal launch
conditions to promote maximum carry and distance.
The five layers of the Penta TP are strategically positioned to give
maximum benefit for all levels of player and the added spin and control
from short range is especially important as the new USGA and R&A groove
rules take effect in 2010.
TaylorMade have also incorporated their LDP technology into the Penta TP
to improve aerodynamic flow on common driver mis-hits from the top of
the club. TaylorMade have tested the Penta TP extensively with their
stable of Tour Pros’s and it has received a unanimous thumbs up, being
put into play already by Sergio Garcia, Retief Goosen, Y.E. Yang, Justin
Rose and Jason Day but the Penta TP is not just for Tour players, with
the multi layer technology making it the ideal choice for every level of
golfer.

Taylormade has taken a bold step in attempt to revolutionize the golf ball market by utilizing five, count ‘em, five layers in the new Penta TP. Each layer is specially designed and fine-tuned to individual aspects of your game. More specifically, the Penta TP has three mantles (or layers) that are designed to compress at increasing ball speeds. This means that as you work your way from short to middle to long irons, the Penta TP has just the right firmness to provide optimal launch angle and spin profiles.
1. A soft urethane cover helps promote better spin of wedges and touch shots around the green.
2. The outer mantle is easily compressed to provide optimal launch conditions for short irons.
3. A middle mantle design for mid-iron faster ball speeds.
4. The inner mantle compresses at a mid-range ball speed (read: long irons) to help create low spin, high launch shots from long range.
5. A super fast core provides bone crushing distance off the tee.
It’s not hard to see why we were so excited to get this ball on the course. We quickly discovered that we weren’t to be disappointed. The Penta TP exploded off the driver, but not in a rock hard ball kind of way. Instead we found that the distances were very close to our current ball crush (no pun intended), the Bridgestone B330-S or even that of a Pro-V1. That being said, the Penta offers a certain kinetic energy that just isn’t there with other balls. Maybe it’s just cleaver marketing or just that we were amped up to play an unreleased ball, but it felt like the ball was doing something more than usual. That’s fine by us. Knowing that you don’t have to swing hard to compress a golf ball is especially comforting when you are faced with a challenging shot. Instead of feeling tense, you can focus on your target and let the ball go to work.
It’s our opinion that this ball is a big step up from the earlier TP Red & Black lines. They were just too hard for our liking and never stood out enough to warrant much more than a cursory look. The Penta TP, on the other hand, is silky around the green. It’s soft, but with enough pop to run to the hole on putts. You might be especially impressed with the spin potential out of green side bunkers and on intermediate wedge shots. From longer ranges, the Penta TP came down to the green like a dart.
At the end of the day, it’s still a tough decision. Does this replace your current ball? A few more rounds like we experienced and it just might. In fact, the highest compliment we can pay the Penta TP is that it reminded us a lot of the Pro-V1, with the biggest difference being the spring like launch the Penta TP provides. It’s very similar to the Callaway ix in that regard, but without the uncontrollable distance factor. At the end of the day, you need to know how far a club will go and distance gives way to accuracy. The Penta TP let’s you swing freer and easier, while maintaining or increasing your usual distance.
