TaylorMade Project (a) Golf Balls 2018 Review

TaylorMade’s new Project (a) golf balls have a new 322 Dimple Seamless Cover and Dual-Distance Core.

TaylorMade’s latest Project (a) golf ball is a three-layer design that incorporates a new Dual-Distance core and a new 322LDP seamless dimple pattern which combined increase driver and long iron distance while maintaining excellent greenside control and feel.

Since its inception in 2014, TaylorMade’s Project (a) golf ball has been designed to deliver golfers Tour-level performance in a three-piece construction at an attractive price point. The original Project (a) gained notoriety by being designed with a cast urethane cover to provide Tour-level spin for the average golfer.

In 2016, the ball was made softer with lower compression while maintaining the greenside spin demanded by consumers. In 2018, Project (a) takes the next step in its evolution with new technologies that TaylorMade claims make it significantly longer than ever before.

Michael Fox, Category Director, Golf Balls & Accessories, said: “100% of worldwide Tours use a golf ball with a Urethane cover, while 0% use suryln. If every Tour player and Tour ball manufacturer in the world is telling you urethane is the best material, why wouldn’t you buy the only product outside the Tour ball category using this technology that’s now longer than ever before?”

TaylorMade Project (a) Golf Ball: Key Features

・New 322 Dimple Seamless Cover
The Project (a) now uses the same 322 dimple pattern as the hottest Tour ball in golf, the TP5 & TP5x golf balls; resulting in superior distance through a more aerodynamic dimple pattern. Less drag = more speed = more distance.

・Dual-Distance Core
The new Project (a)’s dual core design is comprised of a larger, softer-inner core, which scrubs off unwanted spin while providing great feel. The stiffer outer core allows for increased rebound and velocity. In addition to reducing driver and long iron spin, the stiffer outer core also aides in pinching the soft cast urethane cover between the clubface, creating more greenside spin.

・Pricing & Availability
The 2018 Project (a) will be offered in gloss white or yellow, available at retail on February 16, 2018 at an RRP of £39.99
