You can’t really pay any attention to manufacturer’s claims when it comes to golf balls. They all say they’re faster, longer, and have great greenside control. I’m 47 and a 4 Handicap at the moment, playing from the regular men’s tees. My driver swing speed is around 92-95 mph, creeping down to the high 80s when the back is acting up. In other words, exactly at the average male swing speed with driver. This usually means roughly 205-215 carry with a decent strike, and totals that range widely from 210 to 245. At this speed and below, golf balls go pretty much the same distance with the driver. The only distance gains I’ve had in golf (or seen anyone else have) have been through improving technique. Unless you’re playing a 15-year old driver. In which case you should really get one of these new drivers, because they are amazing.
Low-compression surlyn golf balls like the Supersoft spin less and they go a little straighter and carry further with IRONS. Again: at 93 mph and down, all golf balls go pretty much the same distance with driver. Given the standard deviation in most tests – it’s a wash. You will not see a benefit from a firm, fast ball until you’re pushing 100 mph and up. The ball speed might be slightly higher for us with firmer balls, but at 90 mph, that TP5x is not carrying further off the tee. What it WILL do is come up 5-7 yards short with your irons. But with driver – all the same. All the time in reviews I see people writing, “I picked up 10-20 yards when I switched to such-and-such ball!” No. They did not. These people are either lying, or delusional, or have highly selective memories.
Basically, the fast swinger has a conundrum: he (or she – looking at you, Jessica Korda) wants a ball that spins super low with driver, then spins a reasonable amount with mid-irons without flying too high, and is SUPER spinny around the greens. This means a three, four, or five-piece ball that’s expensive and difficult to engineer and manufacture, and one with an expensive cast urethane cover. Fortunately for them, many of these people are pros and don’t have to pay for golf balls.
All the SLOW swinger needs, on the other hand, is a ball that is low-spinning and high flying on pretty much every shot. We want low spin with driver for carry and roll. We want low spin with irons to get more carry. Also, the average slicer (we’ll call it a fade) is already ADDING too much spin to their iron shots, making them go offline and end up short. And around the greens? Nope, we really don’t need spin there either. We need to be bumping and running and getting the ball close by controlling trajectory. And stop hitting flop shots from three feet off the green and trying to carry everything right to the flag. For the love of God, I beg you, sell that 60º wedge and learn to use a pitching wedge and a putter around the greens.
And the good news is that such a ball is not only cheap to design and produce, it’s also more consistent from ball to ball. I’ve played the Supersoft for about a year, and I know what it’s going to do. No surprises. This new ball feels the same and the performance is the same through the bag. And it feels really good. I’ll play a Prov1 or a TP5 from time to time, and they feel just fine. But the “X” tour balls feel like rocks to me. Unless I hit it in the middle. Every ball is soft when you hit the middle.
I’d like to dispel another common myth that gets passed around. Ionomer/Surlyn balls are NOT more durable than urethane balls. The ionomer used for golf ball covers is hard. When it gets scuffed, it gets scuffed badly. And it stays scuffed. Because urethane is softer and more resilient, it absorbs a lot of the impact from trees, wedges with new grooves, and even cart paths. I’ve had urethane balls that hit a cart path HARD and I could barely tell where it had hit. But then they really ought to be durable for $48 a dozen.
So in a nutshell, the new Supersoft feels great, does what it’s supposed to do, and it’s cheap. And I think the new logo/alignment graphic looks pretty cool.

I am a male golfer in my 60’s, generally hitting 210-220 off the tee, and shooting in the mid 80’s. I like to hit orange balls, which I can track in the sky and find on the ground easiest. Before these balls, I went back and forth between the previous generation Supersoft and orange Titleist Velocity balls.
I liked the Titleist better off the tee, and would usually get about 10 yards more. But I liked the Supersofts everywhere else, as they seemed to come off my irons with more energy, and were friendlier on and around the greens. I tended to use the Titleists on long courses, and the Supersofts on shorter tracks.
The new 2021 Supersofts have changed things completely. They are every bit the equal of the Titleist Velocity off the tee now, and I have had to club down with my irons. These things seem to explode off my irons – I haven’t hit a ball this far with my irons since before my shoulders wore out. For reference, my average 7 iron hit increased from 135 yards to about 145. The new Supersofts fly just as straight as the previous model. They seem a bit softer on the green though, and I find myself having to putt a little harder to get the same roll.
The ball seems just a little shinier than the previous generation – maybe a tiny bit less of a matte finish. The dimples seem more pronounced and deeper, though that might just be a side effect of different finish. The surface feel is slightly different too. It’s hard to describe exactly – maybe slightly soapy? It isn’t unpleasant – not tacky or slimy – just a little different than before.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the new Supersofts. No more choosing between the Callaways and Titleists for me – this round goes to the Supersoft.

For the winter I tried some Srixon soft core yellow balls and whilst I liked them they were not that durable and even lost there colour so I tried these Calloways. These balls are not like any soft ball I have a ever tried in that they feel much lighter off the club and when putting do not give you the bit of extra run I get with a Srixon . At first I struggled to get my putting pace right with these balls but now I have got used to there feel I am putting as well as I ever had. For chipping and shots from 50 yards out they are the best ball I have ever used because they have such good feel. With my irons which are my weakest club the Srixon is maybe a touch more forgiving but it’s marginal. With the woods I cannot see much difference . On durability the Calloways are a lot better than the
Srixons ,they keep there colour, do not mark after a round or suffer much In the way of surface damage. In conclusion this ball has improved my game saving me shots on putting and chipping in particular.

I popped a ball down on the tee, and did my warm up stroke,
I played real bad last few times but this game had some hope,
Id prayed to jesus, God and all, id even tried the pope
I hit it hard, it ran a bit then rolled back down the slope
Holy smokes my team mates cried he’s going for a tripple bogey,
Malcolm got his in in five and he’s an old fogey
I got down on my knees and prayed, i was feeling rather holy
I spend to much time out of bounds, its getting rather lonely
2nd tee i jumped right up and took my lucky stance,
I missed the ball and span right round like some odd spanish dance,
The golfers all around gave me a nervous glance
I hit the ball it sliced – far right! Its heading out to france!
I stood there on the fourteenth hole – divots all around
I boast i sometimes miss the ball but always hit the ground
The groundsmen sometimes shout at me, they can be quite loud,
But when my stray ball clonked his head he never made a sound.
We’ll be here all day – talk about slow play, i heard my foursome mutter
I managed to get one on the green – the caddy brought my putter,
I got down and begged my ball – i looked like quite the nutter,
I hit it hard, it went to far then rolled straight in the gutter.

The golfball itself in my opinion is very good. It comes off the club extremely soft and takes off like a bullet. I have bought the Matte Green, the Matte Orange , the Matte Red, and the Yellow. I am very satisfied with the over all quality of them. The only one I really don’t care for are the RED ones. Don’t get me wrong, they are still great balls, but the only issue I have with them is the fact they are extremely hard to follow. Once it leaves the club and you lift your head to follow it, it’s difficult to pick it up In the air and see where it is going and where it lands. Unless you’re playing with a partner or in a group, you may lose more of these compared to the other BRIGHTER colors due to not seeing where it is going. Even the ORANGE are a little difficult to follow some times, but not nearly as bad as the RED. Take my advice and go with the MATTE GREEN, definitely the best choice all around. I am returning the 3 dozen RED boxes and want to exchange them for the GREEN. But not all is lost with the RED ones, they can still be used if you only want to use them for chipping practice in the yard or around practice greens. Hope this helps others when it comes time to buy them.

I’ve been hunting for a ball that feels great on every club, is soft, but without sacrificing more than 3% distance over a harder ball or a ProV1. This is it. And for prices that beat Vice, Cut, and a bunch of other cheap options. I’m buying quite a few boxes of this ball. Also, they hold up well! Played 9 holes with a single ball through 2 bunkers and some off-fairway woody stuff and it has no scratches at all. Even after a few thinned shots. Will buy more for sure.

White . Round . They don’t float and are hard to find if you hit into the woods . Besides that I would buy again

Never realised that the compression ratings for balls would have any effect for a high handicap golfer like myself. Seemed to fly off the tee and stay within the bushes and trees. Only lost one due to a duffed shot into the water. Most of my rounds would be spent hunting for my ball, but these caused a much higher success rate

I’ve played golf for as long as I can remember. In my personal opinion these are as good as any other soft feel ball around ive used these for over a year the matt colour isn’t for everyone. But I like the pop and can see them easily while I’m rumbling around in the rough😁😁

I’m a high handicapper, and in my 40’s. I can hit a far distance but when my drives go over 200 yards and the ball fly’s to the left or right of the fairway I struggle to find them in the grass and often lose sight of them mid flight. Not anymore. these green matte balls are amazingly bright and easy to track, I spot them easier then yellow or white balls, and to boot they look great with their nice Matte Green skin.
Have bough 2 sets (when in stock) and are now my go to ball.
