New and Improved TaylorMade Tour Response Golf Balls: Will they go in your bag for 2025?
Published:
The TaylorMade Tour Response is one of the most favored golf balls in the amateur game and their all-new 2025 model featuring Tour-proven technologies is sure to brighten your golf game
The all-new TaylorMade Tour Response golf balls have very big shoes to fill thanks to the success of the original Tour Response that debuted in 2022. After three years, we’re blessed with a new and improved Tour Response destined to challenge not only the best golf balls for mid-handicappers, but also, the best golf balls in the game.
Much of the Tour Response’s success has been in the amateur game because although they’re a three-piece urethane golf ball, they aren’t quite in the same category as the TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x golf balls. While they aren’t classed as a premium golf ball, the Tour Response is packed with Tour-proven technologies, which helped the previous generation fly off the shelf, and the new model features more technology found in the TP5 and TP5x.
“The Tour Response golf ball is truly in a performance class of its own. And when we talk about making golf balls that are measurably and noticeably better, there’s nothing that offers that more than our Tour Response golf ball,” said Mike Fox, Global Senior Category Director for Golf Balls.
“The number one reason people love the Tour Response golf ball is for the feel and performance benefits the cast urethane cover provides.”
The Tour Response is a well-loved golf ball here at TG, and we were disappointed with how the original model performed in our 2023 golf ball robot test. However, given the upgrades made to the all-new Tour Response, we have high hopes for this golf ball in our 2025 robot test. Before we’re able to see how it performs with a robot, you can read my full review of the TaylorMade Tour Response and see if it sounds like a golf ball you should play.
Key technology of the TaylorMade Tour Response golf balls
New Hi-Vis 360° ClearPath Alignment
In addition to white and yellow colorways in Tour Response, Tour Response Stripe golf balls are now available in even brighter, easier-to-align colors in the 22mm 360° ClearPath Alignment stripe. The digital band wraps around the center of the ball to help golfers aim putts better, faster, and more consistently, all while providing instant feedback on the quality of the roll.
Working with leaders in ink and print technologies, TaylorMade was able to incorporate the first-of-its-kind golf neon digital ink into Tour Response Stripe golf balls using proprietary equipment. The ink includes fluorescent additives that are premixed and make the 360°ClearPath Alignment stripe even more vibrant.
SpeedWrapped Core
Tour Response golf balls now feature Speed Wrapped Core Technology which the R&D and engineering teams have spent years perfecting in TP5 and TP5x. The material reduces the density of the core which dampens the sound and fosters an overall faster construction for enhanced ball speed and distance. With a compression of 70, Tour Response balls give golfers an exceptionally soft feel using Tour-tested materials.
“The Speed Wrapped Core, which has had incredible success in our TP5 and TP5x product, is even better in Tour Response because it enables more ball speed and more feel within a single product,” said Fox.
SpeedMantle
Surrounding the Speed Wrapped Core is a new SpeedMantle with High-Flex Material (HFM) that allows the ball to interact more with the face, further enhancing both ball speed and soft feel. In totality, the three-piece construction of Tour Response decouples distance and feel. It’s designed to help golfers hit the ball farther while also providing, feel and control on short shots where it’s needed most.
Tour-Level Spin and Control
Tour Response balls are constructed with a 100% cast urethane cover for added spin and greenside control compared to ionomer. The soft material allows wedge grooves to grip the ball while also maintaining durability.
Enhanced Aerodynamics
Also in line with TP5 and TP5x, Tour Response balls feature TaylorMade’s Tour Flight Dimple Pattern. Employed in TP5 and TP5x since 2021, this dimple pattern is designed to deliver distance, ball speed, and aerodynamic efficiency in the all-new Tour Response. It promotes shots that come off the face fast, carry, and remain stable in the wind.
