TaylorMade's New Tour Preferred Red is a four-piece ball designed for higher spin players who want the ultimate in tour performance.
Its four components include :
1) NdV4 core, consisting of an advanced neodymium compound that delivers faster ball speed to promote more distance;
2) Distance Mantle, consisting of a copolymer compound that boosts COR and initial velocity to further enhance speed and distance;
3) Feel Mantle, consisting of an elastomeric compound that allows this ball to deliver 15% softer feel than the original TP Red, while also enhancing spin control; and
4) Cast Thermoset Urethane Cover, which is the tour standard for predictable spin and supreme shear-resistance.
Tour Preferred Red's 360-dimple pattern promotes a mid-to-low flight, and also incorporates TaylorMade's proprietary Low Drag Performance (LDP) aerodynamics to promote improved distance on the most common driver mis-hits, which occur on the upper portion of the clubface. LDP was developed to help golfers achieve longer average driving distance.
Additionally, Tour Preferred Red is engineered to promote especially high speed and distance off the driver; to deliver controllable full-shot and greenside spin; and to be exceptionally resistant to the effects of head winds and crosswinds.
