TaylorMade Distance Golf Balls

The Design Philosophy Behind Distance+

TaylorMade’s engineering team approached Distance+ with a straightforward goal: maximise distance for swing speeds under 95 mph while keeping the ball soft enough to feel forgiving on mishits. The design process focused on three core pillars:

1. Low‑compression core – To increase launch angle for slower swings.
2. Aerodynamic dimple pattern – To reduce drag and promote a stable, penetrating flight.
3. Soft‑yet‑durable cover – To deliver a pleasant feel and sufficient spin on wedges without sacrificing lifespan.

Unlike tour balls that often use multi‑layer urethane covers and high‑compression cores, Distance+ stays within a “mid‑compression” envelope to keep cost low while still delivering measurable performance gains over a standard two‑piece ball.
