TaylorMade TP5 Performance Notes
The 2026 TaylorMade TP5 proved to be one of the best balls for distance that we tested overall, ranking second in total distance off the tee. Aside from middle-of-the-road stopping power in our iron test, it showed no real weaknesses from tee to green, making it one of the most well-rounded balls of 2026. If you want tour-level performance through the bag and prioritize distance, TP5's lower spin and optimal launch make it a standout choice.
