What swing speed does the TP5x need?

Roughly 105 mph plus with the driver, where its firm five-layer core fully compresses. It is the firmer, faster ball in the TP5 family.

The TP5x is firmer, faster and higher-flying with lower spin; the TP5 is softer with more spin. Speed seekers pick the x, feel and spin seekers the standard TP5.

Is the TP5x longer than a Pro V1x?

In Today's Golfer's robot test, yes: it out-carried the Pro V1x through the bag, including 3.2 yards with a 7-iron. The Pro V1x answered with more wedge spin.
