Maybe Wilson will come out with one that has a little red hand print.

TaylorMade speedsoft by far the best ball I have ever used. Launches like a rocket

You crack me up. liked the review. would like to see a comparison to the super soft by callaway. tried the yellow ball in the cold,rain and mud .played 18 the ball ball had no marks on it.. shot my best round of the year. 82.in the cold.. good distance, good feel, went straight, good feel off the putter and control. bought 2 more dozen of the ink. 70 years old from Ohio. hope to shoot my age this summer. keep up the good work. thanks

would like to see if you lose much distance with these compared to the TP5 models with driver

Barking mad, funny as ever and love the content. Thankyou

I like the pick and mix idea. I currently carry a variety of chrome soft football colours but would enjoy playing those new taylormade balls

I've been a callaway supersoft guy for a long time and recently grabbed a box of speedsofts and am really impressed with them for the same price! After doing some testing on the sim, the speedsoft performs much better too with all the same feel, for me. They also make it about 1k strikes before cracking, which will never matter to me anywhere but into a net lol. Good stuff TM

Great stuff Alex , super fun to watch , from a rainy, dreich Scotland

Love the look. But which is best in the rough. How easy to spot. I find the tour response stripe not so easy to see. Can’t wait to try this new one

As ever a brilliantly entertaining vlog. Great to see you on the course as well. I bet like the rest of us you have been climbing the walls waiting for the weather (rain) to ease up?

At Sheffield pro golf they have a pick n mix jar with these ink balls. Got myself 4 yesterday 😌

I like the Taylormade tour response stripe ball. That now comes in at least 5 different stripe colors. I like it. Let's have some variety out there.

Love the look, If you have a lower swing speed, these are great. I've been using these the past couple of weeks, and they feel really nice off the face

Love the look !!! Can’t wait to try 😊

I play TM Tour response stripe love them

I started playing Q star Divides because I liked the colors in person so much. Absolutely love every time I walk up to my ball, know it’s mine and see a bit of personality on the course there.

@@TheSneezinPanda I was playing their XV’s right before but to be honest at the level I play they work just as well off all my clubs.

I like them. The blue one is my favorite as well.

Got to say that they all look good! If i had to pick one, would be a very hard choice between the red or green...

Just picked some up with the ink excited to get out on the course.

Got these before they were released and they are awesome. I love playing the Callaway SuperSoft but these have replaced them. They go longer and straighter and they feel great off the putter face. Can't complain at all. For $24.99....you can't beat them.

Been playing the RBZ soft for several years, found a brand new one of these Will give it a try

Played them last weekend, just a good solid ball, price point is good and honestly, it gives good feedback on spin etc. Great review inspired me to give them a try. (Alex reminds me that golf is supposed to be fun, one of the few KZreadrs I would buy beer and glady pay for his round with me)

just tried this ball and absolutely loved it

Greens my favourite colour but the blues look so good

So are they any good? How do they feel? What are they made of? How many piece construction? Is the spin rate good for distance or control around the green or both?

I personally think ball choice and consistency with that ball is very understated, played half a round with some Wilson premiums (my fave brand) 6 over for the first 9, got the pro v 1 out, back 9, 1 over, gonna get a box of these, BTW, love your houmor.

Kind of reminds me of something Vice would do. The problem is they usually put those designs on lower quality balls and I see them more as a gimmick. I'd be more willing to try it on a TP5 or TP5x

I like the yellow-green ones, more toward yellow and I’ve been playing the Vice ball or the Taylormade Tour Response. Both work quite well but the Tour response is not real durable. I would play these as the price point is really good.

I can look past the 2-piece construction if the results stack up and I think on initial thoughts they look like popular balls

Love the red one 👍

So, how do you find the putter aiming line?

You are THE funniest KZread golfer... I think you're brilliant!!!

This guy is the best.

Is the fact that TM are effectively putting Camo on a golf ball, does it make them harder to find in the rough? Asking for a friend 😮

Wonder which is the easiest to find because of the color

They done the pick n mix thing Alex, they sent us display cases and bags of individual balls to us here in the shop I work in 😂 you should take full credit

I am a die hard pix player and I love this concept, looks very appealing to me and a more pocket friendly price of bout €36 a dozen👍

Was Lisburn not a bit......Wet ? Good to see you over here playing in NI..

If you are used to a TP5 (97 compression), this ball is not for you. This is a sub-50 compression ball; basically made for women, or seniors, with very slow clubhead speed. Very cool design though!

For some reason, while watching this video I started having fond memories of the 90's and wanted to grab a drink of water with a disposable cup... I haven't hit this particular ball yet but I think I'll give it a try.

Those balls are sporting a retro-review aesthetic! No wonder you're smitten 😊

Good luck finding the green one in the rough. It's like camouflage.

00:30 though 😂😂😂😂

LOVE the looks of this ball now question is which do I choose TP5 PIX / TOUR RESPONSE STRIPE / SPEEDSOFT INK I am 59 years old , swing speed of 90-94 mph with driver , and a 7 handicap which do you think would suit me best I am curious on what you think and everyone else thinks thx cheers from Canada

Blue is best 👍

I got some free TP5x balls for free from Dick's Sporting Goods/Golf Galaxy. One of the few TaylorMade products I really like!

You are sensational. Keep it up! ...and yes, blueballs also never a good thing...doh!

Not gonna lie, kinda leaning towards the pink 🤷‍♂️.

TaylorMade should do a box with 3 of each color.

£27 for 12 is pretty good. If they do the pick n mix they should drop it to £25 with no boxes!!!

They look cute until you hit them in the grass and can’t find them because the colors work as camouflage….

The ball's picking up so much s**t from the course at the moment, you'd never find it with all that additional camouflage. Not for me, but would consider a screaming fluorescent yellow one.

To be honest I have never bought into these types of coloured balls. The truvis, the stripe the pix and the vice speckled offering. For me and it's only an opinion of course, it sort of takes my concentration away from the shot. I much prefer white, I don't even like coloured balls. These ones probably are in line with stripe and they aren't as spinny as my TP5 and control for me is the number 1.

Taylormade have the most cringe marketing, but i guess its for Americans who will belive any old shit.

From everything I’ve read I’m in the minority about the new Speed Soft. I picked up a dozen to compare them to my gamer ball, the TM Tour Response. After three rounds with them, there’s no comparison. The Tour Response is a superior ball! From its feel, performance and distance, so much better!!! Yes the TR is more money but I’m still gonna game them. So far, no ball has replaced the TR in my bag and I’ve tried a lot of different balls!!
