TaylorMade RocketBallz Golf Balls Review: Made for Distance
Every golfer would like to increase the distance of their shot. While getting distance has a lot to do with technique, it also has a lot to do with the golf ball that you choose. In this TaylorMade RocketBallz review, we look at distance, construction, durability, and more.

Construction
TaylorMade RocketBallz balls have three-piece construction, consisting of a high-speed REACT core and SPEEDMANTLE outer core with a soft, thin, IOTHANE (Surlyn) cover. The REACT core is designed specifically to give the ball speed while allowing for a softer feel and more control than you would get with other high speed golf balls. The SPEEDMANTLE outer core maximizes speed and distance, while the IOTHANE cover’s material and 360 dimple pattern improve spin and control.
Compression
Golf ball compression is the amount that a ball’s shape changes upon impact with a club. Generally speaking, golf balls with a high compression level fly further, feel firmer, and provide less control. Golf balls with a low compression have a soft feel and good control, but do not travel as far as those with higher compression. With a moderate compression level, TaylorMade RocketBallz have a fairly firm feel when you hit them and get great distance and more control than other distance golf balls.
Spin
Spin is what gives a golf ball height. The faster the spin, the higher a ball will fly when you hit it with your club. The dimple pattern on this golf ball’s IOTHANE cover is designed to give the ball increased spin and the SPEEDMANTLE outer core gives it a faster spin as well.
Distance
No TaylorMade RocketBallz review would be complete without taking some time to talk about distance. What we love most about this ball is that it significantly improves your distance but doesn’t denigrate performance the way that other high speed, long distance golf balls do. This is because it has a softer feel than most golf balls designed for distance, so you get relatively good control and a straight, accurate shot in addition to excellent speed and huge distance.
Durability
In addition to their great distance, urethane golf balls are known for their durability. These balls will take plenty of hits from a club without even showing a mark, which makes them a great choice for people who want balls that last.
Final Thoughts
So, after all that, what do we think of this ball? The TaylorMade RocketBallz speed golf ball is an excellent choice for golfers who are looking to add distance to their game. These balls are most suited to golfers with a moderate swing speed of about 90 to 99 MPH. While the feel might not be as soft as some tour category and slower speed golf balls, it is quite soft for the amount of distance that you get. All in all, these golf balls are a great choice if you want to significantly improve your distance and still maintain enough control for a great short game.
