Looks
Out of the box, the TaylorMade Tour Response looks and feel just like the higher priced TP5 and TP5x balls. It screams premium.
Feel
For balls with a low compression core, the TaylorMade Tour Response and Project (a) don’t feel as soft as you’d think on full shots. They come off the clubface with a firm, solid feel and on mishits felt dull and heavy off the face.
Ball Flight
The spin profiles of the TaylorMade Tour Response and the Project (a) on the launch monitor test threw up some interesting results. Every golfer is different and so many findings are specific to the way I deliver the club, attack the ball and impart spin.
Distance
In driver testing, TaylorMade Tour Response launched high and flew with a stable consistent flight. Launch monitor testing returned spin rates just below 3000 – which is probably a smidge high for optimum driver performance – and producing high ball speeds and distances comparable to those recorded for premium balls.
Control
Given their lower price point, both balls deliver the distance they promise, the stability of flight and the control and spin on hitting the green.
Which ball should you choose?
Choose the TaylorMade Tour Response if... - You want a cheaper alternative to the TP5 and TP5x - Consistent distance control - You want higher launch, consistent distance and stable flight in the long game - You prefer a firmer feel green side
