TaylorMade jumped back into the ball game today with two new golf balls:
The TP Black and TP Red.
TP Red
* Accelerated ball speed for greater distance
* High-launch and low-spin off the driver for greater distance
* Low-launch and high-spin off the irons for greater command
* Exceptional greenside spin for superior shot-stopping control
TP Black
* Accelerated ball speed for greater distance
* High-launch and low-spin off the driver for greater distance
* High-launch and high spin off fairway woods, hybrids and irons for greater distance
* Exceptional greenside spin for superior shot-stopping control
I can’t wait to get a good look at these balls close up. They use a “Pentangular Di-Pyramid Dimple” pattern.
A few players are already playing the ball: Sergio Garcia, Hale Irwin, Chris Perry, Justin Rose and others.
There are a few more pictures of these balls in the HOG Photo Gallery.
TaylorMade’s Press Release:
(more…)
The long awaited Guru – Swilor rematch is slated for today at 10:30am. This time it’s on the guru’s home course. Unfortunately, the Guru doesn’t necessarily play that well on his home course.
A report will follow this evening.

# denotes first Masters Tournament,
* denotes Amateur |
I loved surfing Masters.org last year and watching the live video from the practice tee. I work much of the day at my computer so I’ll just set up a little window on my screen and watch all the players practice. This year Masters.org is even better with more live features.
This year the live feeds will be from the practice range, live from Amen Corner (should be very cool), interviews and video from the par 3 contest and real time scoring all tournament.
The folks at Augusta National not only know how to put on a golf tournament, they know how to present it online.
Steve Elkington will not be playing in this year’s Masters due to injury.
