TaylorMade’s limited TP5 and TP5x Flamingo pix balls add tropical graphics and visual alignment to the company’s five-layer Tour models.
Certain things instantly signal you’ve arrived somewhere warm. Palm trees. Pink flamingos. A sunset that looks like it was a part of the opening montage on Miami Vice. TaylorMade is leaning into that vibe with its latest limited-edition golf balls, the TP5 and TP5x Flamingo Pix.
The balls come wrapped in packaging that looks like it belongs on a postcard from South Beach. Each dozen is covered in a tropical beach scene with palm trees, a setting sun and a flamingo standing in the water. Inside the boxes, TP5x balls come in sandy yellow sleeves and feature seafoam green numbers. The TP5 balls come in powder blue sleeves and have pink numbers. The back of the box adds a playful warning: “No beach balls. No splashing.”

Underneath the tropical graphics, these balls have the same performance characteristics that have made the TP5 and TP5x two of TaylorMade’s flagship models. Both balls feature a five-layer construction and a soft urethane cover designed to balance speed with control. The TP5 is the softer-feeling option, producing slightly higher launch and more spin around the greens, which can appeal to golfers who want a bit more stopping power with wedges and short irons.
The TP5x sits on the firmer, faster side of the spectrum. It tends to launch a little lower with irons and produce slightly less spin, characteristics many players prefer when trying to maximize distance and maintain a more penetrating ball flight.
What makes these balls visually distinctive, though, is TaylorMade’s Pix pattern. Yes, the design is decorative, but the pattern creates a high-contrast visual that helps golfers see the ball’s rotation more clearly during putting and chipping, offering a quick visual cue about whether the ball is rolling end over end or wobbling offline. In other words, the flamingos are doing a little diagnostic work while you’re trying to hole a 12-footer.
At $64.99 per dozen, the TP5 and TP5x Flamingo balls bring a splash of tropical color to TaylorMade’s tour lineup. They won’t make the fairway look like Ocean Drive, but they might make your next round feel a little more like a day at the beach. Just remember the rule printed on the box: No beach balls. And definitely no splashing.
