Should you be getting a fitting for a golf ball?
This #tourtrucktuesday I deep dive into the golf ball topic and the process you should go through as a player to ensure you get into the right model.
HOW MUCH DOES THE RIGHT BALL ACTUALLY IMPACT PERFORMANCE?
As we go through the key areas when testing the various models of golf ball available I will highlight what you should be aware of as a player or fitter when it comes to making your selection and is it as simple as golf ball fitting being categorized by handicap or is there more to it than that?

Gaming tour response stripe for sometime now love them great ball
At 48 and not having the club head speed I once had ….I have found the tour response strip to be the best for my game all around …feels good off driver ….and soft enough off irons ….stops well on greens …but the huge advantage to me is when you putt ….have that larger visual line to me is easier to line up and I have to data to prove I am making 40 precent more of my putts since I have been gaming it ….that's worth a few yards off the tee any day …
Funny enough I went and had a ball fitting the other day. Hit 60°, 7 iron and driver. Ended up with the Chrome Tour X (ik it’s not TM) but it gave me the best numbers. High spin, low launch and felt firm but not rock hard off the face.
Tp5x on the other hand was a BOMBER of a ball just didn’t spin enough for me
Great vid
Tp5 for me love it a great ball 😊
Can they bring back the triangle? Not a fan of the diamond
Finch, Fryer, Shiels, Trottie, you need a competition, Beard off! Loser shaves his face!
Tp5x would be a much better ball if it spun more with wedges
Hey trottie not sure if you can help out or not but I’ve had in issue with my TaylorMade clubs breaking, I broke the stealth and they sent me a qi10 ls which the face broke after ten shots I got an new one and a week so so latter my p7mb 7 iron head went flying 30 yards forward as I hit a range ball people say it’s because of high swing speed but idk
Been Playing TP5X for the last 3 years, and Love'n it, the new version is Awesome at 64 still have enough club speed. Out driving younger players playing tour response…
5:01 I caught that edit trottie, before the hit you had 2 balls when you hit you only had one! I’ll. Take a sleeve of balls for paying close attention to you and your video 😂🤔
Trottie, where, if any where, does handicap come into the reasoning? Thank for the content t I love it
Golf balls depend where my golf game is….love that line. My game is lost in the woods or water hazard along with the expensive balls 😂
Hey Trottie. So Many Choices to Choose. I'm Trying to figure out which Ball to go with.
Love the content. Only been playing 4 Years. Trottie has helped massively . I never know which ball to use…..very confusing.
Great video. Off topic Trottie, could you do a video on high lofted woods 7,9 and in particular DJ’s setup and why he uses them etc. I’m considering a 9w to replace my 5i. I have a hyb but the flight is too low off the turf
Which of the line up would be best for an 85ish mph 7 iron swing speed? Spin rates usually around 5,000. Roughly 165-170 carry distance. And if anything, my driver puts a little too much spin on the ball.
I like tp5 a lot. They just get beat up quick. I played on Saturday. Went through 4-5 balls without losing any. Because of how the scuff marks
I’ll stick with my Noodle 😂
Wished they did a special release on the ink with TP5x. I would instantly buy a few dozens. The ink balls are to soft and spinny for my SS unfortunately.
Love the video. Be nice to have a camera at the green so we can actually see what the balls do when they land etc.
Where my Distance+ at???
Any plans to release the tour response in the PIX design
Taylormade really copying Callaway with these golf balls, speedsoft is a clear knockoff of Callaway supersoft and the marks on the tour response is definitely stealing from Callaway tripletrack.
Love it 👍👍
I get more distance with speedsoft ball for my advancing age but find it too hot on the green on chipping and for putting too.
Just little advice around the green for high handicaper testing balls for the feel, as the feel can be hard for some to judge especially when they aim and a target and also when the chipping game is not on point, just take a large area on the green with no pin and make some chipping, take yourself a maybe 15 yards circle to land the ball in and just chip without thinking about distance control or trajectory and focus only on rhythm and feel off the face. I did it with some guys to let them find the ball after they told me they couldn’t get the feel, magically they were able to get it after de focus from their target.
Interesting video, I have been trying the TP5X and despite not swinging more than 100mph the distance and spin is very good. I may just have a look at the Tour Response as a possible better option. The durability of the cover of the TM TP5X was very impressive compared to the Callaway TourX, I had four rounds outta the TP5X before loosing it compared to one round with the Callaway
Love it! Great video (Video editing production recommendation, bass in your voice needs to be tamed a little. Oh my phone it’s not too bad but my TV where I watch most videos it is real bassy.)
Great ball explanation Trottie
New Action looking good👍
I did a fitting the other day and the first thing I asked him was “what ball do you use.” He was confused but I was able to build a driver off of what ball he played. He understands now!
My swing speed is 93 with driver, kinda high spin and ive noticed tour response goes alittle less than my normal drives
Swing the driver only around 100mph but TP5x is my ball of choice. Yes I got fit into it, I am a high spin player and this helped me get more “ideal”
Are they ever going to bring out the alignment aid of the tour response ball on the TP5x at all? I use to use the TP5x pix and I’m really struggling with alignment issues with that style and the previous version pix had the right alignment but the ball was a little too firm and while the alignment aid on the tour response is perfect and I love it,I’m losing about 10-15 metres off my distance with my driver😢
Great video I just always have a slight issue when such an amazing fitter like yourself is so aligned with one brand (I get it, it’s your job).
I’d love this video again but using maybe like the Top 10 balls used based on sales. In there you would have Titleist, Srixon, TM, Mizuno etc etc.
A much fairer video
Tour response and q star tour are the best upper mid range ball out there. I've fallen out of love with the tp5 and it makes me sad, it feels incredible I love the ball flight the greenside spin is fantastic but it lacks distance like crazy. I'm talking 20yards less than everything else. All that being said the new tp5x is something special.
should people be start with a ball fitting or a club fitting?
I really like the speed soft….I think the TP5 is a great golf ball but my golf game just isnt to a point where I can get that much more benefit and the speed soft is a much better price for now.
Trottie, I went to a Taylor Made demo day and the fitter told me I should not be playing the X because my swing speed with the driver, 88 mph, was too low and I couldn't compress it enough to get thru the 5 layers. That said it was 5 yds longer than my current gamer with a 9 iron. Your thoughts?
Been playing TP5 pix for a few years now, it gives me the control and the ball speed that helps my game be more consistent.
How is it a galf ball fitting if you only have Taylormade product?
I went with a proV
Hey trottie Barry from Ireland here, what's the best ball in your opinion for a driver swing speed of 92-95 please, keep up the great work
I watched this and I've been playing the tp5x for about 5 plus years and I've never thought about switching but where I live the greens are like concrete and I bought some tp5's today to use and would shoot 2 shots around the green and the spin and check from the tp5 is probably gonna end up in my bag! Instead of landing it on the front of the green u could fly to the flag and know it was gonna hop twice then stop! And from 150 in I could flag hunt and know it was gonna stop where it hit! Ur videos are the best on YouTube!
I was using a supersoft but it was scuffing to much for my like so i went to chrome soft. I love how it felt soft to me. But i had to rethink my distances bc it went at least 1 club difference in distance. I have enjoyed it a lot more. I know its not the same but the concept is there. I hope i could get fitted whenever i get club fitting if i can
I wish there was a tp5 with a tour response line around it
I use Titleist Pro V1X and V1 and also Taylormade TP5X and TP5…..
