2025 TaylorMade Tour Response golf balls: What you need to know

While the TaylorMade Tour Response golf balls won’t be racking up PGA Tour victories like its siblings, the TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x, the latest release of the soft-feeling urethane-covered ball is taking more tech from its Tour-level counterpart.

The new 2025 TaylorMade Tour Response features a new Speed Wrapped Core and Speed Mantle tech first introduced in the current models of the TP5 and TP5.

“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 TaylorMade Global Senior Category Director for Golf Balls Mike Fox in a release. “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.”

Speed Wrapped Core technology lessens the density of the golf ball’s core, dampening the sound and making the golf ball faster, leading to more distance.

The Speed Mantle is created with a High-Flex Material (HFM) that allows the ball to interact with the face more, again boosting speed and distance. With the three-piece construction, designers are able to de-couple distance and feel, making for a very soft ball (70 compression) that is also long.

With the new Tour Response, TaylorMade designers also included the same dimple pattern used on the TP5 and TP5x since 2021, which is optimized for distance.

The Tour Response Stripe with the 360˚ ClearPath alignment aid is also back for the new generation, but it’s been updated to be even brighter to help players hit their target. The company worked with ink and printing industries to incorporate what it calls a first-of-its-kind for golf digital neon ink which helps make the stripe more vibrant. The new ink also includes premixed fluorescent additives.

In addition to the standard solid white and yellow versions of the Tour Response, the Tour Response Stripe will be available in neon orange, neon pink, neon yellow, neon blue and navy colorways. There will also be multipacks featuring sleeves of Tour Response Stripe golf balls in different colors.

Tour Response golf balls will be available for $42.99 and Tour Response Stripe for $45.99. The golf balls are available now on TaylorMadeGolf.com and will be at retail locations starting Feb. 13.
