Penta, as in pentagon, as in five, get it?

We get it, but don't ask us how they did it. The folks at TaylorMade, under the watchful eye of Dean Snell and his beautiful mind, conjured up the first 5-piece golf ball.

Yeah, not one, two or even four layers. We're talkin' 5!

On the surface, its a urethane-covered ball with multiple layers that depending on how hard you swing, performs differently with the different clubs in the bag. TaylorMade claims that even the best players in the world playing the so-called best balls available have still had to make compromises, either for more distance and less spin, or more spin and less distance, more feel vs. less feel and so on. The Penta is said to be the most complete ball ever and with it's five layers, means no more having to choose one performance benefit over another.

It also means no more having to choose one premium performance ball over another from TaylorMade. Unlike past tour-inspired models lie the TP Red and TP Black, there is only one ball to choose from. Ahhh...thank you, TaylorMade.

Look for it this fall at a retailer near you.
