New golf ball helps with alignment problems

Taylormade's new TPX1 gives accurate alignment.

Enter TaylorMade’s Pix golf ball and its ClearPath alignment assistance. For your own clarity, you can see an illustration of the technology in action above.

It's caught the attention of professionals.

PGA star, Tommy Fleetwood originally used the Pix as a practice aid, further enhancing the ClearPath with a black Sharpie line. He then tested the TP5x Pix against his TP5x for the back nine of a practice round at Summit ahead of THE CJ CUP, measuring each of his shots on a TrackMan.

“He had to be certain that the Pix golf ball gave him the exact same performance as his TP5x gamer. Of course, we knew they were identical golf balls – the only difference being the markings on the cover. But at that level, they leave no stone unturned,” Rietveld said.

From a performance standpoint, Fleetwood found the Pix performed identically to the non-Pix TP5x, and the alignment assistance was welcome. He tied for 38th at THE CJ CUP before his top-10 at a recent event.
