TaylorMade Changes Its Stripes With New Tour Response Golf Ball

Let’s get some of the most important stuff out of the way.

TaylorMade’s Tour Response is the company’s softest and lowest-spinning urethane-covered golf ball. It’s also their most affordable offering in the urethane space although I suppose there’s a case to be made that, at 43 bucks, we’re playing fast and loose with the concept of affordability.

Tour Response has carved a niche among golfers inclined towards alignment aids and I’d wager that when most golfers think Tour Response these days, they think Stripe.

The Stripe has become so synonymous with the ball itself that it’s practically a household name in its own right. It’s like when people say “Google it” even when they’re using Bing except in this case, they say “Stripe” when they mean Tour Response (ad nobody actually uses Bing).

The point is that Tour Response is perhaps the one ball where you could make a strong case that TaylorMade shouldn’t bother making it in white. Yet, they do.
