Golf ball damage evaluation (from a Titleist representative): “Our normal rule of thumb for regular golfers is as long as paint loss, a scuff or defacement of the golf ball is less than the size of a dime, it should be good to go,” the representative said.

5 dozen Taylormade TP5 golf balls; many in like-new to above average condition.  Some of these balls may have player marks and/or logos; may have minor discoloration or minor 'dings' (no major blemishes).  These are all balls I would play (I play more than 200 rounds a year, and have a 15 handicap...shot a 72 a while back with a ball that doesn't meet the standards of what I'm selling here).   Pictures show the actual balls you will receive. 

These TP5's, which sell new for close to $5+ a ball, are a mix of different model years (see pictures) and 3A, 4A and 5A quality (see grading below); some balls will have corporate or course logos and/or player marks.  

A subjective evaluation...I'd call probably 11 of these 60 balls 3A condition, and the rest 4A or 5A balls. 

3 ball have been professionally refinished

Some of the balls are indistinguishable from brand new balls...NEW RETAIL COST for these balls would be close to $250

Taylormade TP5/TP5x... (retail about $45/dozen new...$18 used)); this is Taylormade's current most expensive professional tour model.  From a review:  The TaylorMade TP5 and TP5x live up to the hype.  Both balls feel great, with the TP5 standing as my personal favorite at the moment.  More importantly, they perform in every aspect of the game from the tee box to the green.

The main differences between the Taylor Made TP5 and TP5x have to do with compression and cover softness. The TP5 has an overall compression rating of 85 and a softer cover while the TP5x has a compression rating of 97 and a firmer cover. This means that the TP5x will have less spin and a more piercing ball flight.

Who should play with the Taylormade TP5?

The TP5 with its mid compression of 85 is ideal for players with an average swing speed (80-90 mph) that are looking for and can benefit from the performance of a premium golf ball.  

The TP5 promotes a workable mid ball flight, if you are a player that enjoys to shape the ball on demand then look no further than the TP5

5A  Excellent Condition — The look & feel of this ball is similar to a new golf ball. Balls will have few or no physical imperfections and will look & feel a ball that has been hit just a few times. No scuffs or club marks. May contain team or corporate logos and/or player pen markings.

4A  Very Good Condition — Will look like a ball that has been played 9-18 holes.  May have slight discoloration and imperfections in some of the dimples. Overall good condition, may have very minor abrasions, discoloration, blemishes, larger player pen markings, team or corporate logos or a cosmetic imperfection that will not affect flight path, distance, or trajectory of the ball.  Some of these balls have been professionally refurbished.

3A  Good Condition — may have slight imperfections and scuff markings. The look & feel may appear to have minor discoloration and some printed balls may contain blemishes. Balls may have slightly more abrasions & larger scuff marks, varied discoloration/tint, contain team or corporate logos/ larger player pen markings, imprints of X-Outs or practice on them. Balls should all be playable with no performance degradation.
