TaylorMade's New Tour Preferred Black is a three-piece ball designed for lower spin players who want soft feel, fast ball speed, increased distance and tour-caliber spin. Its three 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; and
3) Cast Thermoset Urethane Cover, which is the tour standard for predictable spin and supreme shear-resistance.
Tour Preferred Black's 360-dimple pattern promotes a mid-to-high 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 Black is engineered to promote especially high speed and distance off the driver; to deliver higher full-shot and greenside spin; and to be exceptionally resistant to the effects of head winds and crosswinds.
