The patent-infringement lawsuits and countersuits filed by PXG and TaylorMade have ended in a cross-licensing agreement announced in overnight press releases.
The new Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls – somewhat remarkably given their near two decades of consistent dominance across all levels of the game – enter a fundamentally different space technologically this year than ever before.
Callaway’s lineup of new balls for 2019 are a reminder that as compelling as tour-played golf balls might be, there are a lot more golfers who aren’t tour players and those golfers just might need a different kind of ball.
The new TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x balls continue the company’s technological heritage of using a five-layer construction to optimise launch, spin and speed specifically for the requirements of wood, iron and wedge in your bag. But the latest iteration’s upgrade focuses on the layer just below the cover.
The new TaylorMade M5 and M6 drivers, the flagship products of the company’s new lineup of metalwoods that also includes fairway woods and hybrids, are about many things, but mostly they’re about being so fast they’re just this side of illegal.
