Titleist Introduces New TruFeel – The Softest Titleist Golf Ball (2024)

FAQs

What is Titleist's softest ball? ›

2024 TruFeel | Ultra Soft-Feel Golf Balls | Titleist.

New to TruFeel is a thicker, softer 3.0 TruFlex cover that increases greenside spin, while working in combination with a new, reformulated TruTouch core to provide long distance with Titleist's softest feel.

Every TruFeel golf ball is made by Titleist associates at Titleist owned and operated Ball Plant 2 in North Dartmouth, Mass., ensuring consistency in performance, quality and feel.

Titleist TruFeel Compression

The compression of the golf ball is the way in which the ball's shape changes when your club hits it. Balls with a high compression give the player more control, while low compression gives better distance.

Characteristics of a Soft Golf Ball

Softies generate a higher degree of spin than firmer balls, allowing a more controlled shot for skilled players. These balls also come to a faster stop on the green for optimal distance control.

“If we can pull off 300 or so RPMs of spin out of some of these shots, you're helping them hit it longer and straighter.” In general terms, Hogge said, expect the AVX to fly lower, spin less and feel softer compared to the Pro V1.

The Titleist Pro V1 is a three-piece solid-core golf ball provides total performance from tee to green with penetrating flight and very soft feel. The Pro V1x is a four-piece solid core golf ball provides total performance from tee to green with high trajectory and soft feel.

Durability and Reliability. Professional golfers demand equipment that can withstand the rigors of high-level play, and the Pro V1 delivers on durability and reliability. The ball's construction materials and design ensure that it remains intact and performs at a high level even after numerous powerful swings.

The Kirkland Signature ball can be classified as a mid-high launch, high-spin ball. We certainly experienced this during our 2023 Golf Ball test. The Kirkland Performance+ V3 is produced in Vietnam in the SM Parker factory that makes the PXG Xtreme ball.

On our gauge, the Titleist Tour Soft has an average compression of 67. That's all of one point softer than the prior generation, which suggests compression targets didn't change from one generation to the next. The Tour Soft qualifies as medium firmness across the market as a whole.

Any golf ball in the 80-compression range or less can be considered relatively soft. If your swing speed is below 90 mph, you will benefit from the forgiveness and overall feel of a golf ball with a lower compression rating.

The best way is to choose a number near your driver's swing speed in mph. For example, if your driver swing speed is 80 mph, keep the compression rating number around 80. Choosing a bit lower compression than your swing speed helps increase the distance, launch higher, and hit straighter shots.

This is normally the part where I remind everyone that with low-compression (i.e., soft) golf balls, higher swing speed players risk over-compressing the core and losing distance. Given Supersoft's compression (a preliminary test on our gauge puts it at +/- 40), that risk becomes a near certainty.

Soft golf balls

They are designed to provide players with an enhanced feel and softness around the green. Soft golf balls are typically made with higher compression cores that generate more spin off the clubface, resulting in a higher launch, greater ball control, and more overall distance.

The Pro V1x golf ball is a higher compression golf ball, meaning it is not as soft as the Pro V1. Only golfers with high swing speeds north of 100mph should play the Pro V1X golf ball, as it will allow them to compress the golf ball better.

The Supersoft and Supersoft Max check those boxes with two-piece, low-compression balls aimed at boosting distance for average golfers. The oversized Supersoft Max is about 4 percent larger in diameter to help those with slower swing speeds and prone to mis-hits launch shots higher through the bag.
