TaylorMade Golf Balls FAQs
1. Are used TaylorMade golf balls as good as new ones?
Yes — our TaylorMade golf balls are lake balls recovered from golf courses, then professionally cleaned and graded before sale. Higher grades perform almost identically to new balls, giving you the same tour-inspired TaylorMade technology at a fraction of retail price.
2. What's the difference between TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x golf balls?
TP5 golf balls offer a softer feel with higher spin around the greens, suiting players who prioritise short-game control. TP5x golf balls are firmer with a lower flight, giving faster swing speeds more distance and a more penetrating ball flight.
3. How are your TaylorMade golf balls graded?
Every ball is professionally inspected and sorted into a grade based on its condition, from near-mint balls suitable for competitive rounds to more affordable practice-grade options. This lets you choose the right balance of price and performance for your game.
4. Which TaylorMade golf ball model should I choose?
It depends on your swing speed and playing style. TP5 and TP5x suit golfers wanting tour-level performance, Tour Response offers a similar feel at a lower price point, and Soft Response or SpeedSoft are great value options for everyday practice and casual rounds.
5. Are lake balls a legal way to reduce cost during competitive rounds?
Yes — using recovered TaylorMade golf balls has no bearing on the rules of golf. As long as the ball itself is not damaged or non-conforming, you can use graded lake balls in any casual or competitive round.
6. Why buy TaylorMade golf balls instead of new retail balls?
Since golf balls are commonly lost during play, many golfers prefer recovered TaylorMade golf balls to reduce the cost of regular practice and rounds, without giving up the brand's trusted tour technology.
