Shoots in the 70s
Model Reviewed: Taylormade TP/BACK LDP
Summary: I have been playing Pro 1x for I don't remember how long. Been playing competetive golf ever since i been shooting mid 70's to under par and I would say these balls clearly aren't as good as the tour balls (Pro V1's).
The feel of the ball is really good nice soft touch but I definitely lost some distance. I drive the ball around 280 but clearly with this ball i was getting the ball out there only prob max 265-270 but it maybe my swing that day or weather or the fairways but I really feel the distance was lost.
For the price of these balls, they are great for the average golfers but I wouldn't recommend these if your a low handy and are picky with the equipment you use (like me)

Summary: Why do reviewers feel compelled to compare a $20 golf ball to a $50 golf ball. It's not a pro-v however it is a very good alternative. I just shot two rounds in the 70s with it no scuffs one ball. Long off the tee and good around the green.
Customer Service: Not needed.

I'm a golf cheapskate, never pay retail for any golf equipment. IMHO the quality of a golf ball is the only criteria regardless of price. Simply because golf ball prices for clean, used balls are all about the same no matter the brand. The Play it Again Sports franchsie in my town has bushel baskets full of Titleist Pro V-1X balls for $10 per dozen. I'd rather play a like new Pro V-1X over a Taylormade DLP. I shoot lower scores with the Titleist.

Summary: My usual ball is a Titleist Pro V1X. I'm a course marshal, I find lots of balls and try them out on the driving range. I found a few of these Taylormade Burners and initially thought that they went long off the driver. So I actually bought a dozen ball box for $19. That purchase may be a violation of the unwritten Golf Marshal's code of ethics.
Well I shot a whole game with the balls, and truthfully was underwhelmed. Yes the ball feels okay off the driver and maybe is a little longer than the softer Titleist Pro V1, but ball flight is not as predictable, does not behave as well in the wind. And putting with this 2 piece ball is somewhat unpleasant. Off the putter the feel is somewhat rock-like hard and cheap feeling.
My score for the round was 8 strokes higher than usual.
I won't play another round with these balls. I'll give them away to the junior golfers.
Customer Service: Purchased at Golf Mart.
Similar Products Used: I prefer Titleist Balls. I'd rather hit a Top Flite ball than these Taylormades.

Summary: Off the Driver/Tee: Added 15-20 yards off the tee with both the driver and irons. Reduced my slice by about 5 yards too. Overall off the tee 5/5.
Off the irons: No joke this added 20 yards to my irons (7 iron used to be 135-140) now its 155-160. Also I hit it straighter than I have with any other ball. I would have to say this ball is best with irons. Overall 5/5.
Off the wedges: Bounced off fairly quick and got up fast. Only rolled 5-6 yards after it hit the green (with a sandwedge) but the greens were soaked. Overall 4/5.
Off the putter: Good roll went with the grain pretty easily in the wet conditions. Averaged a 2 putt. Overall 5/5
Great ball that added a lot of distance compared to the other distance balls I used. I have found my new ball!
