Bridgestone and Srixon are good options, I’m not a tp5 player, for some reason I swear they aren’t as long as the proV

Look at the distance numbers. The TP5 was averaging almost 20 yards shorter than the ProV1x. I was using it for a while because I liked the feel around the green but I was thinking I was losing distance but figured it was maybe just me, but then someone posted this link. Finished the dozen I had left and never bought them again. Supposedly Rory is playing the 2019ish version of it, not the current.

I switched to the Z Star diamond. Even liked the Maxfli Tour X as far as a little cheaper option goes. Have a dozen of the Mizunos that I haven't tried yet.

I’ll second the Maxfli Tour X. That’s a really solid ball for something cheaper. I play ProV 1X when I’m playing on weekends, and Maxfli Tour X when just messing around or playing a quick 9

I remember starting a thread here a few years ago asking if anyone else felt like they were much shorter off the tee with the TP5/TP5x. I had switched to the TP5 Pix because I really liked the feel around the greens and the way it looks when rolling putts. But it really just seemed like I was so short on drives; the ball would just fall out of the air so quick.

I switched back to the ProV1x and I will never change to anything else. I got back 10-15 yards off the tee. It's the best ball out there, period.
