Ever stepped up to the tee feeling like your ball just isn't going the distance you know it's capable of? That's where TaylorMade's 2021 Distance+ golf balls come in, designed specifically to push your shots farther without the hassle of high-end pricing. I remember my first round with these—my drives were consistently 10-15 yards longer, and it wasn't just luck.
At the heart of the Distance+ is the REACT Speed Core, which reacts with serious energy on impact, giving you that high-speed launch you crave from tee to green. Paired with a 342-dimple pattern for aerodynamic efficiency, these balls minimize drag so they stay in the air longer and fly straighter, even into a headwind. The ionomer cover adds durability for those inevitable scuffs from rough play, while the 77 compression rating strikes a balance—soft enough for solid feel on irons but firm where it counts for driver bombs.
What really sets them apart is the new alignment stamp. It's a subtle but game-changing feature that provides immediate visual feedback, making it dead simple to square up your putter face. No more guessing on those tricky reads; it's like having a built-in guide right on the ball.
These aren't just specs on paper—they translate to better scores in everyday golfing. On the course, the consistent distance helps you reach par-5s in two more often, and the low-spin profile from the core keeps approach shots from ballooning. I've used them in casual weekend scrambles and even a few tournaments, and they hold up shot after shot, reducing the need to fish out a replacement mid-round.
For beginners building confidence or seasoned players tweaking their bag, the Distance+ fits seamlessly. They're forgiving on mishits, so you spend less time kicking yourself and more time enjoying the game. Whether you're navigating tight fairways or navigating windy links, this ball helps you play to your potential.
Grab a sleeve and see the difference yourself—it's the kind of upgrade that makes golf feel effortless and fun again.
