I’ve played the Tour Stripe the past week or so since the first video. Definitely been helping with alignment off the tee as well as on the green. A bit more than I would normally pay for balls (usual is AD333) but the increased confidence and straighter of the peg makes it worth it. Thanks for the videos.

I have been using the tour response for 3 years now. It was the previous project A ball. Love the new look. I always used the yellow version. I bought 3 dozens -2 yellow and 1 stripe. So I may just go with the stripe version this year.

Couldn’t agree more James. Loved the Tour response last year. This year’s version with the stripe has been awesome. Love the feedback, especially on green.

“Sit, go, stay”!! Must be a very obedient golf ball, that Stripe!! 🤣😆. Love your videos James! 👍🏼

Playing my first round of the year this weekend! Will be trying the Wilson Triad. I have lots of RZN golf balls to use, though I am tempted by the Stripe.

Thanks for another great review. I’ve tried these balls just the other day, and what I found was similar distances off the tee in low wind. I lost yardage with my irons to the tune of almost a full club length vs playing a ProV1 though. Where I live we deal with lots of wind and these lower compression balls just balloon every time you try to hit one on windy days. Where ProV1s are much easier to control, and fight the wind much much better! Also around the greens there is a big difference in the spin you get off these vs a high end premium ball. It all depends on your skill set. These aren’t bad balls, they just don’t fit what someone like me is looking for and the conditions I play in. I think if your swing speed is in the low to mid 80s, then these would be great for you. You’d probably pick up some good yardage throughout your bag!

Looking forward to trying out the stripe tomorrow! Thanks for the reviews.👍

I loved the project A ball, but as an older player I have a lot of trouble seeing a white ball in flight. I have a box of the tour response and will play them as soon as the weather permits. If the green stripe makes it easier to see in flight then I will play them.

The greenkeepers repairing your divots on the tee 😀👍🏼the dog just stole the show 😂

Great video, I play the TP5 pix , it’s a difficult ball to switch from but I may give the tour response ago, since it’s still cold in Michigan I may get more distant with it in the spring

I am currently playing the Callaway Chrome Soft “practice” ball. Mainly because it’s a premium ball, but at only $29.99 USD. I have been trying out the Tour Response Stripe as well and I will be putting it in play next week when I get to play TPC Sawgrass.

I putted so well last week with these I'll continue to use them for putting. I'm sticking with the pix for all other shots. I play with close friends every weekend and we all have putting balls we use after marking our ball.

Picked up a box of the yellow ones , and used them yesterday, super impressed. Perfect compression for me an 11 handicapper. Long off the driver and the backspin into the green with an 8 iron cost me a par 3 nearest the pin prize! Didn’t go for the stripe as I only need a line on the ball for putting.

I love the TP5 and used it all last season but this season been trying q & z divide and really like them. I also just recieved my dozen of the stripe so we'll see which ones wins out over the next few rounds

Always nice to have a change James I do like the stripe might invest in some trying the Wilson Triad just now though

Currently using TM Response in yellow. Really enjoy the urethane cover etc of the 3piece ball. Playing tomorrow and will try the stripe. Bought a bix and will use a few for outting practice in my Puttout mat.

I've been playing the AVX in yellow for a couple yrs now, but have been really considering trying this stripe ball since your 1st video on them. I also like the vice pro drip balls as well. James, go with the stripe for awhile, you really enjoy it and it works better with your putter.

Great video. I have just bought a box of the Tour Response Stripe and will use them for the first time tomorrow. I normally use a Callaway Super Soft as I have a slower swing speed.

I'm using the tour response for the last two years. It was the better option for me compared to the titleist tour soft and the callaway supersoft. Absolutely love them. Marking the balls with the "triple track" design for my putting. Now ordered the Wilson Triad and the tour response stripe. When they come in, I will test them on the course to decide wich ball will be put in the bag!

Your putting has been so good this year and changed your scoring a lot and the balls are so similar of tee I think it should come down too which one you like putting the most… do a match play video of just putting on a green and see which ball gives you most confidence

Huge test!! love it And always putting divots back in place I LOVE THAT!!! You're a boss

I'm currently playing the Inesis Tour 900 in yellow, works great for me (not the longest of the "tour" balls, but probably one of the spiniest, and great feeling too). They come at 28 quids a dozen, which is probably the main reason I play them instead of the ProV1x left dash (which is the longest, even if it's not that spiny).

I normally play the Callaway Crome Tripple Track, mainly because of the alignment aid that it gives me during putting. I will try the TM stripe to see how that does against the Tripple Track. With the stripes cover, hopefully I will get the same feel around the greens.

TXG did a review of TP5, TP5X, tour response. And the the tour response sat smack in between both the TP5’s launch, peak height, spin numbers so it’s a proper great ball. I’m definitely going to give the stripe a go 👍🏻

Currently using the Maxfli straightfli balls. I only use it due to my slice and it seems to help offset it. But I am looking to game the tour response stripe though.

Stripes in my bag Tuesday. First few greens I took the time to align stripe didn’t notice any improvements. Weather was cold so nothing carried off the tee. I’ll try the stripes tomorrow and decide if I’ll play them next week.

I tried out the Tour Response about a month ago (all yellow) and fell in love with it vs. my yellow ProV1's. Why, it flew just a far but is a lower spin ball, hence it rolls out much further. Around the green it doesn't feel any different than the ProV1, though it runs out a bit more. Being a bump and run player, I've found I can better estimate the run out then estimating the significant checking action I get from the Pro V1. I agree the stripe version could help with putting alignment, but I never even used a line on the ball for that, such the highly visible all yellow works for me.

The Tour Response reminds me of the old school RBZ Ball that was also 3 piece and had a urethane cover. I used to love playing them.

I'm currently using prov1 and prov1x over run that I got for like 35 a dozen and stocked up some months back and like them, but these look so nice. I loved the Callaway erc with the 3 lines on it. These just look so good. I don't know if I can even find those here since everywhere I look they are out of stock. Love the videos! Keep up the good work!

Tested this ball with Gaz, it’s good really helps with putts saves time trying to keep your eye on a tiny drawn line. Don’t see why you’d pay the extra for TP

Used the new tour response for first time on Tuesday. Loved it!

I too love both balls.. but I'd say since they're so evenly matched, and one helps you or at least gives you more confidence in putting, go with that one.. dropping more putts in my mind would cancel out the how even they are among all the other clubs.

Agreed Chris. From his own admission, James was feeling that he was holing more putts with the “stripe” ball. I think that answers the question.

Agreed, not to mention he can save $5 a dozen.

I used to play TP(5) back a number of years ago. For some reason I went on a journey of Titleist, Callaway, Bridgestone and finally Kirkland last year. I remembered my love for the feel of the TP(5). I went with the Tour response stripe this winter and I am loving it again!! I guess either choice you make is a winner, James.

One thing of note between those two balls is that the Taylormade tour response is actually a remake of the Taylormade project (a). Which was also a premium cover soft compression golf ball. Now I would be curious to see what the difference between the two balls are in different climates. As a Taylormade player I use the TP5/TP5X, I play those two balls throughout the spring and summer months. However when temperatures start to dip below 50° or lower golf balls start to compress less and less. So with that said using a Tour Response or another softer compression golf ball in the cooler temperatures will counterbalance that loss of compression due to colder temperatures. I would argue that that was why you saw your drives on the first 2 holes go farther with the Tour response in the cold outside elements, then become closer in total distance in the climate controlled indoor test.

Yelling "sit, go, stay" all on the same shot. I love it.

I've used the regular tour response on and off for a couple of yrs while trying to find the right ball for me and keep coming back to them. I want to try the stripe though to see if the alignment aid helps.

Stripe!! Can't wait to find a few to go with my found Pro V1's and TP5x I currently play with!!

Dennis here from Detroit MichigN. I use the Tour Response. Love it. Good distance and control on the greens

Being someone who loves new golf balls and I have dozens of TP5 and Pro V1 in my garage I have just purchased a dozen striped I think they look superb and can’t wait to try them on Saturday

Great review , I have got to try the stripe now 👍

I play the Tour Response and love it for it's consistency from tee to green, but still have longer drives and better rounds with the Pro-V1.

Use the stripe you definitely putt it better! I’m hoping to try the stripe when our course opens in 4 weeks when I try different balls to pick mine for the season! I’ve been Pro V1X for several seasons.

Hi James, Played TP5 for few years. Great ball. Recently switched to Callaway Chrome Soft Triple Track. Love the alignment, really helps off the tee, never mind the putts. Chris.

Tp5x and pro v1x. Still trying to decide what I’ll use this season. Have been using the Taylormade all of last season but shot my best round ever the other day with the pro v

After watching your review of the new Wilson Triad, I bought 3 boxes ($39.99 per box). Love them. Shot back to back 39s to kick off my season. Also playing the Maxfli Straightfli and pretty happy with it as well.

James, would love to see your short game numbers with these two balls. As per your other video, I found the balls very similar in distance but the short game spin on the tour response was shown to be terrible in the MyGolfSpy 2021 ball test. I’ve seen the same on the course, the 2021 tour response didn’t stop round the greens.

Used the TP5 over the last couple of seasons, brought a pack of 3 TR stripes just to see what they are like. Played after work during the week and lost one out of bounds on the 5th hole, played one of the remaining two this weekend and won the match between our 3 ball. Found it really help with putting. Unless TM make a TP5 ball with the stripe in the future I'll be changing over to the TR stripe for the foreseeable.

Using Vice Pro. But like the Stripe and our pro shop has them in already - so might try a dozen ... I usually play with a yellow or neon green ball so the color works for me.

Used the stipe for the last couple of rounds and it’s honestly made a huge difference to my putting. Can’t see myself using anything else for the foreseeable.

I am using it for putting also. Will be buying a dozen when my Project A’s are gone (now on last sleeve).

Like the concept of both, but I must use yellow balls due to distance vision problem. After trying all premium yellow balls, I found the Bridgestone Tour B RX to be the best ball for me, Srixon Z Star XV a close second and Pro V1 was well short of both in distance. Since the Tour Response has a very wide yellow strip, I may give it a go to see if it works for me and if I can see it past 200 yards

I've used the all white Tour Response all 2022 season (110 rounds). I have mixed in the stripe version throughout the year. I like using the stripe for putt alignment but I don't use the alignment on the tee. The Tour Response is an excellent ball that performs as good at TP5 or Titleist ProV1. I am currently paying between $34.99 - $39.99 (USA) depending on where I buy.

I play the tp5x pix normally, but I tried the tour response and I truly love the ball! The tp5x is still my go to, but for 10$ USD less the tour response is now my #2. I play the response on courses that I don’t think require the additional benefits the tp5x adds. Awesome ball!

I used to use the previous model to the tour response, the project A and loved them, never really tried the TP5 unless I found one lol

I fancy trying the Tour Response Stripe. Putting lined up with ease… ⛳️👍🏻😃⛳️

Just got a dozen of the tour response stripe. Can’t wait to get them out on the course!

Very very impressive golf ball, fingers crossed that I find one soon 😂😂. Great video James and a great head to head. Go with the stripe James and give us your thoughts at the end of the year

I've enjoyed both videos about this ball. I'm definitely going to give the stripe a chance. I think with the performance off the tee and approach shot being relatively the same, you've got to go with putting. You've said that you feel you're holing more with the stripe, so I'd give it a go. I use the Callaway Supersoft in yellow currently and stripe my ball to be able to line things up. I'm excited to try this one out.

May try the tour response. Currently alternating between TheTitelist velocity and the Wilson Triad. Like them both.

Got to be the Stripe. Great video, as always. Interesting to hear your comments James about how you line it up on the tee. How do you feel about it being mis-aligned on the fairway, wherever it lands?

My favourite ball is the callaway ERC soft, however, having just changed my irons to Orka's, I will be having a ball fitting soon as I don't want to lose the spin I've just gained with the irons.

Use the Stripe. I too am intrigued by it. I just bought a box and will use it when we play our first round of golf here in Michigan.

I’d be interested to see how they compare from scoring distances. How they compare with mid irons to wedges on the greens over a round.

Friend of mine used the new Tour Response at the weekend, he's a 14 HCP and scored 41 Stableford points. He's always been a ball striker but putting let him down... with these it was like he couldn't miss!

I've played with both and the stripe is great but after 13 holes I noticed a little cut on the cover but they are definitely my ball for the season

This is exactly the video I was looking for. I've been playing Pix but I fancy trying the Stripe

Currently playing Wilson Staff DX3's as I couldn't find a Taylormade ball I liked in the right price bracket. Picking up my new 3 wood today so might just grab a dozen of the tour response to try while I'm there.

My dad used to be a groundskeeper at a course here, and from that he has friends whom still work there. In the summer, once a month he brings over a rubbermaid tub full of balls he finds while working on the course early in the mornings. Golf is already unaffordable, so these are the balls I use. And am very thankful for them :)

Great to see the dog out on the course with the Greenkeepers, so I'm sorry to say that I lost concentration, "what was the question"?

I game the Kirkland V2 when staring at a tough hole. The high spin gives me more control. I game the Maxfli CGx on a normal hole as they carry a long way for my 90mph swing speed.

I want TM to make the stripe with different colour options. I love using either Callaway chrome soft or srixon q star divide

James, got to say, you was striking the ball lovely on this video, every shot was almost identical to the other, well done.

I’ve recently bought both sets of balls and love them! My problem is, I like them so much that I don’t even use them because I’m worried I’m going to lose them, which is a real possibility. I know it’s ridiculous but that’s what I’m thinking haha.

I am in the same position, whenever I use a brand new ball I typically manage to lose it within half a dozen holes. Find a ball and I have it for several rounds. Would not be too bad but the TP5 even with a special price was over £3 a ball

@Mikesmeyer88

I've found if I only keep 1 ball out and treat it like my last one I don't lose them as much. Plus you don't take any crazy risks that could hurt you. Just play it no matter how bad you hit it.

I was bothered about this too and usually lose a couple a round. Changed to the AD333 and haven't lost a ball in 36 holes. Probably a coincidence, but maybe it helps somewhat subconsciously!

Buy used ones for cheaper and you wont care if you lose it... That's what I do with my pro vs Get the near mint ones for 2$

Just ordered the stripe yesterday and I will be gaming them this weekend!

Currently gaming the Honma Future XX, used a dozen of these and the tp5x for a TM promotion don't honestly mind TM balls, for a little less spent you get a lot more out of them. I also test new balls by trying to juggle them on my wedges but they have got a nice crisp sound and are beautiful to hit, I can appreciate how certain brands are trying to help higher handicappers with putting by trying to remove one variable out of the equations so big thumbs up from me 👍

I shoot a vice pro soft. But I will be switching to the kirkland golf ball once I run out. They don't feel as soft around the greens, but they do go further off the woods and cost much less.

Im new to golf so its the few i got with the set of clubs i brought and whatever iv found when ive been looking for my ball when iv sent mine into the bushes 😂

I've just put the stripe in the bag, love them! Definitely holeing more puts.

We've had the stripe in our shop for a couple of weeks now alongside the pix and have outsold the latter easily... Seems to be a very popular ball

currently using Titleist tour soft at approx 30 pound dozen, but thinking of changing to the stripe, as I like the feel.

I like the looks of those TM balls, but I switched from Vice to the Bridgestone TOUR B RXS "Reactive Cover" this year. I don't know if it's all in my head, but the Bridgestone balls do feel softer around the greens and pitch and chip shots, but hard off the tee and launch as far as my Vice balls did. So for me, it was the feel and performance. I can paint an alinement line on my ball to match the new TM balls, if I wanted to.

Currently Using TM TR, because my swing speed less then 100mph, i can feel i get more distance out of TR then tp5x, it took me about 6 rounds to getting use to TR balls, now i love it. very tempted to by TR stripe.

Hi James, coming to this video a bit late but really enjoyed the comparison. I am just starting back at golf after a 13 year break so have to catch up with the latest gear. Coincidentally , earlier today walking past my local course I found 3 balls - a TP5x Pixel, a Tour Response Stripe and a white Tour Response which led me here. One question though, what are those shoes you are wearing.?Nice. Subscribed and liked.

If you feel that the Tour Response helps you hole more putts that's the ball you should use. Statistically there's no difference in the performance of the balls, so any shots gained while putting are massive as a scratch (approximately) golfer. Personally I haven't tried the Tour Response yet. I still have 4 dozen Tour Star XVs left from a big discount purchase last year, so no need yet. Next ones I buy will probably have some optical help. The eyes don't usually get better once you hit your 50s & anything that can help me on the green is welcome. 😆😆 Thanks for all your hard work James. 🍻🍻

I'm considering using these this year over pro v1, based on price. I liked the previous version project a. If the driver numbers are similar then surely you have to go with the ball that suits your game from 100 yards and closer.

Im am a bridgestone tour xs guy. Love the feel/spin around the green. Love it off the putter. Feel great off the irons, spins a little more off the driver.. that is marginal though. Plus i get hooked up on pricing. So that helps too

It's hard for me to give up the prov1 or prov1x. They just have such a crisp feel and a very durable shell not to mention I get an average of 7 extra yards off the drive. However I do often use a taylormade tp5 for good ball control.

I use the line off the tee shot angled to if I want the hit fade or draw

I would be curious to see what the wedge spin numbers are between the two

Have used the Tour Response as a winter ball for the last couple of years and can’t fault it. However, I revert back to Pro V1 for the summer months as I feel I can control and spin pitches and chips better and it’s lovely to putt with on fast greens. Have recently been trying the Titleist Tour Speed and am really impressed with its distance and control. Maybe Titleist have made a similar mistake as TM with the Tour Response?

james,i use the kirkland signature golf ball after watching your vlog....to me i get more distance from this ball but the feel and spin seems the same as the pro'v 1 i can't test that theory as i don't have the same testing equipment....👍👍

I normally play either Wilson Duo Soft or Pro V1, the Wilson felt better with driver and irons but the pro v is so much better with the putter. Gonna try the triad balls after watching your review 👍🏻

Tried the stripe felt I got a bit more pop with my irons and love it off the putter. Another colour would be great.

Stripe for sure. I can't wait for these to arrive in Thailand. Lots of great golf here for a great ball.

I have just started using some titleist trufeel balls, because in the future I would like to use the tp5 or pro v1 if or when I get better. Am I doing it the right way or should you just use the ball you want to use in the first place?

I normally play the Soft Response, but I purchased the Stripe to help my putting. I also play thee QStar Tour Divide and the Callaway ERC Triple Trac which I feel help my putting. Will let you know how the Stripe performs next week! Play the Stripe, James! Great Review! Thanks!

Titleist Pro V1 and Callaway Chrome Soft Truvis. Love a soft feel ball and these both feel soft and will stop on a dime. I think I’ll try the Tour Response Stripe just because I like the stripe for alignment. 5 handicap.

I am currently playing the Kirkland v2, any really enjoy it, when I flush it off the driver and around the green. Looking at you vid today James, I thought the stripe was a better ball flight and if you hold more puts, which is really where you need to score, why would you not put it in the bag ?

James - how’s the 2022 Tour Response Strip durability. Especially the paint on the strip?

Budget I would use the stripe. I am like you I play the tp5x right now but I will try the stripe next time I buy golf balls

Looks like you’re getting more spin on the TP5X (which makes sense). I think the Tour Response performance is phenomenal.
