Choose the e12 Contact if…
- ✓ You have a slower swing speed or prefer a softer feel
- ✓ Budget matters — the e12 Contact costs less per dozen
- ✓ Contact Force Dimple creates better ball-to-face contact at impact for more accurate, straighter shots
Choose the TP5x if…
- ✓ You prioritize short game spin and greenside control
- ✓ You swing over 95 mph and want firmer feedback
- ✓ Faster, higher-flying TP5 for powerful swingers
