TaylorMade Tour Response — frequently asked
What is the compression of the TaylorMade Tour Response?
The TaylorMade Tour Response has a compression rating of 70. 70 sits in the middle of the market. It works for most amateur swing speeds (90 to 105 mph driver) without being too firm or too mushy.
Is the TaylorMade Tour Response a tour ball?
Not a flagship tour ball, but premium-tier. It has a 3-piece construction with a urethane cover, so greenside spin is still strong.
What swing speed is the TaylorMade Tour Response best for?
Best fit is driver swing speed in the 90 to 105 mph range — a typical mid- to low-handicap amateur. The 70-compression core balances feel and energy transfer.
Does the TaylorMade Tour Response spin a lot around the green?
Yes — the urethane cover grips the grooves of a wedge in a way that ionomer or Surlyn covers cannot. The Tour Response produces tour-level greenside spin (typically 9,000 to 11,000 wedge rpm), which is what allows pros to stop the ball quickly on firm greens.
How much does the TaylorMade Tour Response cost?
MSRP is $40.00 per dozen. That sits below tour-flagship pricing, which is typically $50 to $55 per dozen.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the TaylorMade Tour Response?
Amazon is consistently the lowest sticker price for the Tour Response, typically 10 to 20 percent below $40.00 MSRP once you factor in multi-dozen discounts. Pro shops and big-box retailers (PGA Tour Superstore, Dick's, Golf Galaxy) usually charge full retail unless they're running an end-of-season sale. TaylorMade.com itself charges full MSRP but sometimes offers free personalization, which Amazon does not. Used / refurbished options on Lostgolfballs.com run 50 to 70 percent below new but ball condition varies.
