Summary:
In the junior tour that I'm in, when you register every year, they give you a sleeve of balls with the logo on it. This year it happened to be the tp red. I had gotten a sleeve of the tp black after finding one on a course and loving it. But today on labor day, I had finally after having the balls for about 6 months tried the tp red with the logo on it ( i was afraid of losing them). What can i say, I absolutely loved it. The distance off the tees, how low the spin was, and how great the feel was.

I tend to draw the shot in a little bit, and I loved the tp black because i could boom it off the tee, but with the red i was always in the fairway.

Summary:
Well, I tried the B330-S and was rewarded with great preformancce, so I thought I'd try a couple more premium balls. Got sleeve of TP Black and a sleeve of Nike One Platinum. Played the the TP Black on the front 9. (and later on the last 4 holes after trying the Nike). The TP Black is the longest ball I can ever remember hitting. It was not quite as straight for me as the B330_S on drives, but never once flared into trouble...just kind of tailed off a little with my fade. Sits on greens and stops for me. Great putting ball too, not mushy at all. I felt it was a little firmer feeling on the driver than the 330-S, but this gave it a satisfying impact feel. I really like this ball. It's extremely long, and you can fire right at the flag without fear of run-through. As I said I played it on front nine and then after I switched to the Nike ONE Plat., I switched right back after 4 holes. I suppose the Nike is a great ball, but for me it can't hang with the B330-S and the TP Black. (the NIKE ONE seemed a club shorter and felt firmer). I'm going to go with the B330-S for awhile because it's just tad straighter for me. But, for you non-power faders out there...the TP Black has got to be heaven.

Summary:
I actually like this ball a lot and will use it as long as it's on sale (which shouldn't be a problem considering it's a fairly unpopular ball).

I think I like the Red ball for all the reasons most people don't...it DOESN'T spin a whole lot. I'm a high spin player, meaning that I have a problem with having the ball NOT back up on me. The TP Red has just the right amount of spin within 100 yards that I don't have to hit half-wedges all the time to control the spin. The TP Red will usually back up about 6 inches to a foot consistently, instead of the 4-5 ft. with the Pro V1x.

The feel is a bit firmer than the Pro V1x, but not as hard as the HX Tour or B330. I personally like this since it's not mushy nor too clicky.

Finally, I noticed that the TP Red ball flight is fairly consistent. I hit a draw about 95% of the time, and this ball consistently gives me that sweet 3 to 4 yard draw...not a 15 yard hook. Again, this is probably due to the low-spin characteristic of this ball.

I would highly recommend this ball. Play well.

Summary:
Only played one round with it. So far, the ball seems long, but they seem hard. I didn't feel like I flushed one all day but they were going pretty far. The ball lacks good feel. They have too hard of a feel for me. Played with a Pro V1 next to it and Pro V1 is best ball out. Much better feel especially around the greens and with the putter. For the price I paid they are a good ball.
