2025 generation

Distance+

TaylorMade Distance+ 2025 is now BallSelecta-eligible as a high-distance, lower-driver-spin two-piece option. Its strongest trade-off is equally clear: generation-matched robot testing puts its short-game spin at the very bottom of the comparison.

Performance profile

What the reviewed evidence tells us.

Driver

Generation-matched robot testing across several driver speeds supports a high-distance rating and a lower-spin tendency. PitchMarx stops at 4 / 5 for distance because the evidence does not justify claiming it is universally in the top market extreme for every delivery.

Flight

The same multi-speed data supports a useful middle trajectory rather than an extreme low- or high-flight classification. That keeps Distance+ suitable for a broad distance-led use case rather than a specialist flight correction.

Short game

The 40-yard robot pitch result was the lowest-spin result in the published TaylorMade comparison. PitchMarx therefore records greenside control at 1 / 5 and treats that as the ball’s principal compromise.

Feel

TaylorMade describes a softer response and lists 77 compression, but PitchMarx does not turn compression or marketing language into a feel score. Feel remains intentionally unrated until stronger comparative evidence is available.

Best suited to

  • Golfers who prioritise distance and lower driver spin over greenside stopping power
  • Players looking for a straightforward two-piece ionomer ball
  • Golfers who like a prominent alignment aid

Consider another ball if

  • Players who prioritise maximum pitch-and-chip stopping power
  • Golfers specifically seeking a urethane cover
  • Players choosing primarily on feel, because PitchMarx deliberately leaves the current feel category unrated

Strengths

  • High-distance rating from generation-matched robot evidence
  • Lower driver-spin tendency
  • Clear Plus Alignment Aid
  • White, yellow and multicolour options in the current range

Limitations and trade-offs

  • Very low short-game spin in the matched comparison
  • Feel remains intentionally unrated
  • Manufacturer UK and US pages have carried a dimple-count conflict, so PitchMarx does not publish a resolved number
