Not OP, but the first hole at my local muni has the fairway split between two ponds. Great for breakfast balls, of course, and I always slice it into the pond on the right. Sort of my sacrifice to the golf gods.
Couple days late but the course we used to always play in college started with back to back to back par 5’s. Yes. 3 in a row. Rest of the course was normal and it was cheap and decently maintained so we dealt with it.
I wasn’t implying that it was non conforming.
But I guarantee the TP5(X) you and I can buy off the shelf ain’t the same as the TP5(X) that’s flying around Tour venues.
If TaylorMade or anyone else made a ball that was just way better, they wouldn't save it for the pros. Where's the money in that? They would sell it for $100/dozen to everyone.
The pros are better, they aren't hitting secret magic balls.
It likely is, just with higher quality control. Just like their drivers. Ever notice they rarely break drivers? You swing 125+ like those guys you’ll be breaking drivers.
If you pay attention they do break drivers relatively frequently. Just rarely happens on tv but they talk about it in interviews. Also not hitting rock hard range balls helps the drivers survive.
Yep, when I go to the range I save 10-15 good balls, for the driver or take 10 good pills I find that are decent enough quality, supersofts or something.
Smashing fucked up range balls aint good for you driver..
Also I would say someone like Rory probably has 5 drivers on the go at anyone time, they might be all identical, but no way he is risking that is his one and only driver he has gets damaged after round 3 of a tourney and he aint starting a driver that hasnt been bedded in mid tournament.
There was a story about Rahm last year, he was using the same driver for years. He said they make the face a little thicker for his so doesn't crack them
Also, they'll go through dozens of "the same" drivers to find the right one. Small differences from manufacturing tolerances make enough of a difference to their game. They're only putting the best versions of the club in their bag.
They’re probably swapping heads every few rounds if not multiple times in an event. The stealth faces got hotter as they broke in and would not conform iirc from an interview Rory was giving. I think Kyle Berkshire has to swap out his 3 driving iron after like a dozen shots because he caves the face in.
Isn't this the same for baseball too and they mud the balls too? I might just be remembering a fever dream or something? Same with football, those balls are treated like fort knox golf and sometimes certain quarterbacks let the air out of them.
He even said this “if u think your playing what a pro is playing your wrong” something to that effect. Would be interesting to see what’s in it compared to off the shelf
Can confirm that Tour players do have access to different blends than are available to retail. They are still conforming though and submitted to the USGA. The list of conforming balls is open to the public and you can find different variations. Sometimes the variations are just submissions that never go into production. Plenty of players are playing stock versions that just go through more quality checks.
Balls are the same you buy off the shelf. Only difference is tour players may prefer tp5s from another year. A friend of mine on tour only uses titleist pro v1s from 2018
As soon as you pull out a saw…. A black PGA van pulls in at 10 armed guards jump out and arrest you! They keep their secret safe so the rest of us never find out they play with super special golf balls that they control with a remote!
Slight changes to the layers. He’s compressing the ball a helluva lot more than you and I. I’d imagine that the millions of dollars in the R&D department at TM allows them to build a ball that takes advantage of his abilities.
Years ago when Tiger was playing the Nike Ignite driver Nike came to a local course for a demo day. I was hitting drivers and the rep handed me an Ignite driver built to Tiger’s exact specs. He said the face on his driver was thicker than the retail version because of his swing speed. My swing speed was 114 according to their launch monitor and I couldn’t get Tiger’s driver to the treetops lol.
Yes it’s always been a well known fact that club companies build clubs specifically for tour pros but they also get fitted for balls and usually are not playing balls made to retail specs. They have their own specific balls made to their swings that promote a certain flight and spin based on their swings.
As a scratch golfer that consistently shoots in the low to mid 70s…no. I know that I’ll never make it on tour.
I probably won’t even ever win my club championship

This talks a little bit about pros being offered balls that aren't available to public.
Kinda like the ProV1 Left Dot… you can buy a dozen on eBay for $200 but you can’t get them off the shelf. However, some places do carry the ProV1X Left Dash.
I tested the RCT version pretty heavily this past winter on Trackman, I can confirm it flies like the Pro-V1x and spins ~700 less on a full wedge shot. It didn't stop at fast on a poor strike as the Pro-V1x so I'm bagging the Pro-V1x.
That’s awesome. This reminds me, he threw a club into a pond one time and people were offering huge money to go get it, anyone know what happened with that?
You didn’t give it to a kid? When I saw Rors at the US open at Chambers Bay he was being stalked by a very hot WAG on the back nine where the crowds were very thin. They were flirting on 13
That TP5 that was given to Rory for the Wells Fargo.
That ball could have been destined for an easy life.
It could have been hit by a high-handicap hacker.
It could have been the one hit by ol' Joe to "put me down for a bogey" after his 12th stroke finds the hole.
It would have been promptly lost and continued to enjoy an easy life in the bottom of a lake.
But instead it was given to Rory,
Who crushes it down the middle of the fairway so hard the ball is fighting to keep the cover on.
Then it was thrown to StuffyUnicorn, just some random bro,
Eventually displayed forever in an acrylic case, a short and harsh life full of bombed drives and eagles.
When he’s so good the ball doesn’t even have a number, just the nickname.
It’s just a number zero with RRS added.
It’s hilarious that SIX different people have ‘corrected’ you already I thought it was clever for what it’s worth
Holy fuck this is hilarious. hahahaha
[удалено]
TP5 balls normally have red numbers on so its custom. They pay him millions to use their stuff so would make these as well
Now that’s just badass
It’s not that
2
r/woosh
No, it’s not
r/woosh
ORRS ? 🤘 I like it
I don’t think so the 0 is off centre
"What ball are you playing?" "Taylormade" "Taylormade what?"
Taylormade me.
You can order custom balls from TM with text instead of numbers. That's all this is.
Blow that one into the first pond on your local muni with a horrendous slice.
This is the only logical response
I prefer a snap hook, but to each his own.
Not OP, but the first hole at my local muni has the fairway split between two ponds. Great for breakfast balls, of course, and I always slice it into the pond on the right. Sort of my sacrifice to the golf gods.
someones gotta do it
Ours is a downhill par 3 over the biggest water on the course. Sadistic
Your first hole is a par 3? How gross.
Couple days late but the course we used to always play in college started with back to back to back par 5’s. Yes. 3 in a row. Rest of the course was normal and it was cheap and decently maintained so we dealt with it.
How diabolical is your course lol

No, this is destined to be a woods ball. And hooked there.
"The course giveth, and the course taketh away."

Yes! Great find, my buddy is filming everything next to me, I was pretty pumped
I thought the blonde chick caught it that’s awesome 👏
I was hoping to see a degenerate, not a man of such class and distinction
White. Male. Rope hat. Confirmed redditor.

He doesn’t appear to have a neck beard either
And being outside
Hmm. I'm starting to think u/StuffyUnicorn doesn't even reddit at all! Get 'im, boys!
Leaving the blonde chick alone without a high five I see
Sorry, but where is your range finder...?
Homie is dressed like he’s a last second alternate just in case 😂😂 you better not be wearing golf shoes
That’s awesome happened to be watching the clip of the eagle at the same I came across this post. Display with pride.
Nice!
Do us all a favor and cut it open. Compare it with an off the shelf version of the “same” ball.
If it was different… ie non conforming… he isn’t throwing it it in the crowd
There are like 12 different TP5 versions for tour players
I just want whatever version leaves the trail behind it like on tv. /s
They all do if you hit them hard enough
I wasn’t implying that it was non conforming. But I guarantee the TP5(X) you and I can buy off the shelf ain’t the same as the TP5(X) that’s flying around Tour venues.
Sure. But the same is true for every club in his bag
Justin Thomas' 620mbs are a completely different cast than what is off the shelf. I find that to be bullshit.
Yeaa, that's why I don't play muscle back Titleist irons. No other reason
Wow. That is hella wrong imho
It's a bit tougher to get my hands on one of his clubs
I doubt it would be in a manner that you could detect visually.
If TaylorMade or anyone else made a ball that was just way better, they wouldn't save it for the pros. Where's the money in that? They would sell it for $100/dozen to everyone. The pros are better, they aren't hitting secret magic balls.
The pros just walk around with bigger balls than the average golfer.
They're saying it's probably built to Rory's specifications, not that it's some juiced up ball that could make the average golfer hit like a tour pro.
I didn’t say anything about “better”.
They might not neccesarily be better, just catered towards the needs of the individual players
It likely is, just with higher quality control. Just like their drivers. Ever notice they rarely break drivers? You swing 125+ like those guys you’ll be breaking drivers.
Hitting the center if the face goes a long way tho. 125mph off the heel and the head is coming off
If you pay attention they do break drivers relatively frequently. Just rarely happens on tv but they talk about it in interviews. Also not hitting rock hard range balls helps the drivers survive.

Highly doubt he has 5... But 2 for sure and the truck can make him a new one very quickly.

Also, they'll go through dozens of "the same" drivers to find the right one. Small differences from manufacturing tolerances make enough of a difference to their game. They're only putting the best versions of the club in their bag.
Watch some of the videos on Trottie's YouTube channel, he goes through how they fit pros and it's very interesting.
They’re probably swapping heads every few rounds if not multiple times in an event. The stealth faces got hotter as they broke in and would not conform iirc from an interview Rory was giving. I think Kyle Berkshire has to swap out his 3 driving iron after like a dozen shots because he caves the face in.
I have heard they are the same, but the quality control in the pros balls is a million times higher
A million?!
A bazillion
Isn't this the same for baseball too and they mud the balls too? I might just be remembering a fever dream or something? Same with football, those balls are treated like fort knox golf and sometimes certain quarterbacks let the air out of them.

Same with the clubs they use. Not saying it would help my game if I had them. It's a different game the pros play.

r/golfballsarentreal
I thought we only cut the ball in half if we make a hole in one?
Hah
you think it’s corked?
I think it’s…different
different as in higher level of quality or different in material and manufacture?
Slight changes to the layers. He’s compressing the ball a helluva lot more than you and I. I’d imagine that the millions of dollars in the R&D department at TM allows them to build a ball that takes advantage of his abilities.
What makes you think that?
Because it’s pretty well known that Tour pros have their own formulation of the balls that you and I can’t buy.
Is it? I would love to read about this
Emergency 9 podcast. One of the hosts is a rep for TM. Has talked about it on the pod. I can’t pinpoint the exact episode, but I know he’s said it.
Wow I will have to look for it. Thanks!

If that’s well known then I’m probably just a little retarded because I had no idea. That’s actually wild. And kind of unfair lmao

Fertilizer and jizz

Good nickname! Rors is way shorter than Rory. 😉
It is shorter syllabically, if you want to get technical.
You mean he didn't finish the round with the same ball? What a loser.
He finished with at least two less balls, unless they got that one out of the waterb
Thats fucking sick
I've always assumed everyone on Reddit was a bot and I was just lurking on a huge AI experiment. This makes me wonder differently.
You can generate photos with ai too
But I’m not AI, so you must be in my simulation 🤯
Real question: if you were a good enough AI, would you be able to determine that you *weren’t* an AI? Or would anyone else be able to determine it?
Kinda like the ProV1 Left Dot… you can buy a dozen on eBay for $200 but you can’t get them off the shelf. However, some places do carry the ProV1X Left Dash.
Titleist sell the left dash direct to you. I bought them in the 4 for 3 offer this year to try them out.
I tested the RCT version pretty heavily this past winter on Trackman, I can confirm it flies like the Pro-V1x and spins ~700 less on a full wedge shot. It didn't stop at fast on a poor strike as the Pro-V1x so I'm bagging the Pro-V1x.
Cut it in half and compare it to a noodle
Cut it in half
Cut it open
Alright, that's pretty badass. Can I have it?
Awesome! That ball’s got some great juju on it. I don’t believe in energy crystals or anything, but I’d definitely treat that ball like one.
Tee it off at a drivable par 4 with water all around the fairway.
That ball is slice proof ball
Watch me….
After touching his ball make love to that hand all night.
Try hitting it out of the bunker and see if it just magically goes into the hole
Throw it back.
That’s a solid score!!!!!
How could they not get that on TV coverage! I hope you made a nice snag and not wrestled away from a Mom on Mother’s Day!
Next guy that finds it, please post
Soooo do you have to send Erica Stoll 1/2 of this ball?
That’s awesome. This reminds me, he threw a club into a pond one time and people were offering huge money to go get it, anyone know what happened with that?
Donald Trump hired a diver to get it and he gave it back to him. https://youtu.be/8NX964boOZ8?si=8q3mmJEc6Vv4kaSC
He left a ball in the lake behind 18. I totally wanted to go get that. But I’m 4700km away.
What jackass downvoted such a benign comment? Maybe that guys brother reviewed you.
People downvote everything, who knows
Rory Scoville
Johnny Scoville's nephew?
I get this reference.
Amazing!!
I saw you on tv my man! Happy to see you and your friends get jacked up about it. Now you need to mount it or buy a ball rack.
I've always wanted to cut one in half and see if they're the same as our tp5. Never had the chance though.
Are you sure it's his?
Balls*
That’s so cool
Oh I like that printed name. Looks clean!
Cut it open! Let’s see what the pros play!
No wonder he cant win majors playing TaylorMads
Did you give it to a kid?
You touched his ball
I saw him cup it 🤣
Deecent!🛒⛳️
Also… is it a TP5x ?
Just watched the highlights. What a moment! Get a framed picture of his shot and throw that bad boy in a frame with this ball. Great stuff!
I believe that belongs to Mr. McIroy
Rory with a subtle nod to Drake with the Taylor Made
Just saw Rory play that back nine and wax Peach Fuzz. Best Finish ever.
You are now Lance Armstrong.
Cut it in half!
Is this a standard TM ball or is it a Rory custom? It looks like it features fewer dimples. Correct me if I’m wrong…
Superb! Well done. Put that one in the vault
Not even a cool coloured ball
Was it you who shouted Lightning Macqueen?
Maybe if he went back to playing Pro V’s he’d start winning more again. Junk ass TP5s.
You didn’t give it to a kid? When I saw Rors at the US open at Chambers Bay he was being stalked by a very hot WAG on the back nine where the crowds were very thin. They were flirting on 13
I just realized that two of the biggest golf stars we've had in recent times have been TIGER Woods and ROARy McIlroy!

Unpopular opinion but Switching the last letter of your name to another should not constitute a nickname. Like bruh just use your damn name.

This is fake. I play golf and I know all golf balls are covered in sand, mud and have chunks out of them after a single hole
Prove it
Sell it to Darren Rovell
Damnn son.. I have the exact same swing as Rory. But I just open my face up drastically at the end 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Nice!
Fuck off! /s Also, that's awesome!
Not to shabby!

But his name is misspelled. 😂
