“it's literally like a cheat code”

The 360-degree Stripe alignment on the proven five-layer TP5 felt like a cheat code on course and tempted Alex away from his beloved TP5x Pix.

+ the facts · 3 pros · 2 cons
  • +360 clear path stripe lines up tee shots and putts like a track to follow, Alex went 2 under through 3 holes with an effortless eagle
  • +Proven five-layer TP5 construction he already rates among the best balls he's tested
  • +Big advantage with preferred lies or pick-and-place where you can align every shot
  • −When the ball lies perpendicular to your line and you can't move it, the pattern can distract some golfers
  • −Visual busy-ness won't suit everyone, Pix may be the better pattern for them

For: TP5 or Tour Response players who want a strong visual alignment aid, provided the stripe lying off-line won't bother them
