TaylorMade introduces its 2026 Tour Response and SpeedSoft golf balls, blending tour-inspired performance with soft feel and accessible distance for everyday players.
When Henrik Stenson teed it up in the Senior PGA Championship, he did so with a golf ball you’ve probably never heard of – and that’s kind of by design.
Srixon’s sixth-generation Q Star Tour golf balls combine sustainability with performance. Featuring a plant-based urethane cover, Spin Skin+ for extra spin, and the FastLayer core for more distance and control, they’re perfect for mid-speed players.
The Bridgestone Tour B family of golf balls gets a boost in speed from a new mantle layer material that adds greater density to maximise the core’s resiliency. As has been the case for nearly two decades, the line-up will feature four models.
TaylorMade’s latest version of its Tour Response and Tour Response Stripe boasts a new core, as well as a new mantle layer designed to increase distance for non-elite swing speeds.
Prepping for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, McIlroy casually hit a few of the 2024 version of TaylorMade’s TP5 ball around the green and began to notice a distinct difference in feel as the ball came off the face of his wedge.
Encompassing all the technology of its TP5 and TP5x golf balls, TaylorMade’s TP5 and TP5x TRK-R golf balls are designed to further enhance the launch-monitor experience. Although the balls are designed for indoor use, they are R&A and USGA-conforming and can be played in competition.
The new Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x both feature a faster high-gradient core, reformulated to maintain low long-game spin, increase ball speed and add spin on shots into and around the greens.
