TaylorMade
Kalea
Designed for slower swing speeds.
$28.00 MSRPThe TaylorMade Kalea is a soft feel-tier golf ball released in 2023, built with 2-piece construction and a surlyn cover. Stymie's catalog records a compression rating of 65, placing it on the softer end of Stymie's current directory; manufacturers may use different compression test methods. Stymie's catalog classifies it as a low-spin ball with distance-focused positioning. Its feel is rated soft. TaylorMade positions it for slower swing speeds (often marketed to women golfers) who want distance and soft feel. MSRP is about $28 per dozen — a value-tier price, roughly half the cost of a premium tour ball.
Source note: specifications are normalized from Stymie's dated catalog record with a manufacturer product reference on file. This record's source was reviewed . Compression test methods vary by manufacturer, so use the number as a relative reference rather than a universal performance score.

TaylorMade Kalea — frequently asked
What is the compression of the TaylorMade Kalea?
Stymie's catalog records the TaylorMade Kalea at 65 compression. 65 sits on the softer end of Stymie's current directory. Manufacturers may use different compression tests, so compare cross-brand values directionally.
Is the TaylorMade Kalea a tour ball?
No. The Kalea is a soft feel ball. It prioritizes distance and feel over greenside spin.
What swing speed is the TaylorMade Kalea best for?
A 65 compression rating does not establish one required driver speed. Use it as a relative feel reference, then compare the Kalea's cover, construction, flight and spin positioning; TaylorMade positions this model for slower swing speeds (often marketed to women golfers) who want distance and soft feel. On-course or launch-monitor testing is the best final check.
Does the TaylorMade Kalea spin a lot around the green?
The Surlyn cover generally emphasizes durability and a different feel/spin balance than a urethane tour ball. TaylorMade positions this model around distance.
How much does the TaylorMade Kalea cost?
MSRP is $28.00 per dozen. That is a value-tier price — under half the cost of a premium tour ball.
Where can I check the current price of the TaylorMade Kalea?
Check the manufacturer and major golf retailers for the current Kalea price. Compare the same dozen count and model year because prices, stock, shipping, and promotions change frequently.
