This ball is played by a number of folks in my social club! Low swing speed test show it the longest ball, but getting it stopped is the problem except that it launches high. Good review Nick. Thanks
I've gotten addicted to playing Supersoft 5 years ago after finding one and giving it a shot It's so good for my game. I've gotten used to it not spinning back on the greens and have adjusted my game to accommodate that They are long and straight for me to where I'm at points close to the green that I've never been with other balls Whenever I hit any other ball I just think yuck..and I hope they never stop making them. I'm stocked up like crazy. Love the vids.😎👍
My wife’s favourite golf ball! She has R.A. but is still determined to play but her strength and swing speed have dropped! She used a few before this but loves her orange Supersofts! The launch, flight & extra distance help and she doesn’t have enough speed to check up a ball so not an issue!
Nick I'm 73 and a slower swing speed, close to 80, testing Legato and Wright and Ditson. Both excellent distance good around the green and real good height. I got both on sale for 23 dollars a dozen. Also checking out Vice pro plus.
I played this a bit last year, but I really like the new taylormade speedsoft has good distance and is actually good around the greens. I'm starting to get to the point it may be beneficial to play a premium ball, but information like this helps find good balls for a better price.
Great way to look at it. I'm glad you also mentioned the speedsoft. There has been so much positive feedback about that ball from everybody. I've yet to find anyone who doesn't like it
Thanks for the updated review. Was hoping for more spin ( any spin actually ) around the greens to move to this as my 2 piece option. Seems like an overall good ball, but not in the same league with the Snell Get Sum for sure. Still hoping for a review on the Hex Soft soon.
I tested and cut open this ball recently and it’s now one of my favourite golf balls, seems to suit my swing speed and I love the feel. Great video! 👍🏌️♂️
Thank you for watching and the feedback. Unfortunately I disagree. When I first started the channel I had people complaining about the 15 minute reviews, I was able to shorten it to 9 minutes but then I had massive complaints about all the detailed information I was leaving out. So now we're back to 20. It's a dual edged sword
I play prov1 to a five but have lost distance. I found a Supersoft and tried it out. I shot even par 71. My long game is not long. I play the low ball and usually come up short. The Prov1 doesn’t help. However it does help my chipping game. Today I played the same types of approach shots. The ball hits a bit short by then hops on the green. I had several opportunities to put for birdies. Ball putted really well. Ended with about 80% no pressure putts. The ball showed to have more spin with my PW, 56 and 60 degree irons from 67 to 110 yards. Although I chip the prov1 really well, I’d rather be putting. Super soft helped me get on the greens. As for the driver, I was longer with this ball than the Prov1. I’ll buy a dozen and give them a try as we come into fall and then winter golf. Btw, my buddy is 74 and drives the ball really well. He shot 4 over par today.
Nice. That's really good stuff there. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the different balls. Please let me know if you end up experimenting with any others also
This vid made me think about trying a harder ball. So I got the new Costco kirkland balls and done a direct test today with 3 balls each chipping and pitching. What I found was the supersoft didn't need to be hit quite as hard and had a higher ball flight, it definitely did roll out a bit further but by hitting the kirkland harder it landed a bit further and rolled less for both shots to be by the pin. I didn't take any full shots but on everything short game I didn't find the supersoft to roll out that much more 🤷🏻♂️ however if I were pitching into a front pin with very little green to work with, I can see the advantage to the harder ball. I can say though that on full shots with anything 9 iron or less the supersoft balls spin a ton even spinning back at times
So couple things here. First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to go out and do your own test and experiment. Kudos to you. This is what I'm hoping everyone starts doing. Although, I wish you had picked a different golf ball to test it up against. The Kirkland V3 is one of the worst golf balls I've ever tested. And it's extremely firm. I would definitely love to see you try the test again with maybe more of a balanced mid-range ball like a vice air or something of that nature. If you ever get the opportunity please try another test. But thank you so much for sharing your feedback with the channel and others about your experience 😁
@GolfBallAddict oh dayumn well that was an unexpected opinion on the kirkland ball. I saw so many reviews on how much people like the ball and how it stacks up really well with some of the other premium brands. Because of that I couldn't say no when I was doing my shopping and got the 24 pack haha. I found a lost pro V1 in the woods should I try that? Or I have a few titelist true feels new
I won 2 sleeves of this ball in my league. This ball goes long. This ball goes straight. When I hit a shot to the green, I was usually at the back of the green or off the back. The next round I played the Wilson Triad (3 piece) and happily found my ball on the green when I hit it there. I’ll pass on the Callaway Supersoft. My playing partners even commented on how the Supersoft just will not sit down on a green.
Oh 100%. It's extremely difficult to get this golf ball to stop on a green for anything. It's all about distance with the super soft, kind of a niche market for just an average golf ball
Hey, love the channel. I have a request. Is there any way you can add a golf balls compression rating to your reviews? Some believe compression isn’t really a factor but I can definitely tell the difference in performance. Thanks for all the content. Keep it up. I’m also waiting on a review for the Spalding SD Tour. I know you said you didn’t like it and even broke one, but I have had a great experience
If I can actually find the compression number I will gladly do so. So many companies don't even advertise it anymore. And I don't have a way to test it It's not that I didn't like the Spalding, just never have been able to fully test it
Got few supersofts from work with company logo as a gift. Biggest issue with this for me is I can't trust my short iron lengths. Sometimes ball fires off from the face and shot can be 10-15 yards longer than normal.
You give your honest opinion from hitting so many different golf balls. You can't please everyone. Their opinions will vary. It's not a bad ball but there are others to choose from. In my opinion, a good honest review as usual.
Great review. I have found a couple of Taylormade RBZ soft balls. They seem to be quite a long ball and good round the greens. For the average golfer (10-13 handicap) are they a good choice? Thanks!
I just have become enamored with your channel. Being a golf ball nerd it has been so enlightening seeing these reviews. I have a higher swing speed than you, but I'm still able to gather the right information. Glad you're calling it like it is and not just saying good things because it's a "big brand" name. Now how do I get my Pop to quit playing the Super Soft? 🤔🤔
That's awesome. Thank you so much for all the watching and commenting you've been doing. It's helping the channel grow to new heights. The more the channel grows, the more time I can spend on it and have more reviews. I would let him try the speed soft from TaylorMade this year. A very similar ball but I had way better results
@ appreciate it! The numbers appeared better for the supersoft (distance, spin but it was different for each club) but you sounded much more positive on the Wilson. I’m still terrible but down to losing 1-2 balls a round so it can help be consistent! Just wanted a ball to grow with.
What’s a good budget ball for good green side spin? I want something that checks up good. Also, love the hat, I played the wedge at Cabot Citrus and loved it.
Thank you very much. I work there so that means a lot. There are a quite of budget three-piece balls such as the legato, the vice line, and even more recently the wright and ditson
I game this ball in the matte green. Love the way it feels through the bag. Not my favorite for putting. I’ve been looking for something with a little more stopping power as my game has improved. I ordered a dozen of the Vice Air in the neon green after watching your review on it. I keep coming back to the Supersofts though. We will see how the Vice Air performs soon.
@@GolfBallAddict played a few holes with both. Was not having a good round so more testing is needed. But from what I could tell when I hit it well it was a great ball, but when I didn’t it did me dirty. The forgiveness is much less than the Supersoft, but I’m getting to the point in my game I need a little more feedback. Didn’t have a good shot into the green to test stopping power, but short chips and putts felt great. I was a little longer off the tee by a few yards as well. More testing is needed, but it’s the first ball I’ve tried in a while that I felt like I wanted to keep trying.
It's a decent ball to play for slower swing speeds outside of 100 yards. But inside 100 yards it's a disaster pretty much. You're basically forced to play bump and run shots, can't use spin. And good luck trying to get it to stop out of a bunker.
The reality is for less money you can play a better quality ball It sports a 3 piece construction (in lieu of the CSS 2 layers) and fabulous feel around the greens without giving up distance...All hail the Maxfli Tour!
Callaway has clearly went with a firm core and soft cover, whereas TM went the other way. Long response ahead. As far as spin goes, it’s all about club head speed. At 50 yards, I have several options: near full 60, three-quarter 54, pitch 48. As the club head and angle get lower, so will the spin. I’d hit the 60 if I needed to approach a pin close to the leading edge, a 54 if it’s somewhere in the middle, and the 48 if I want it to run to the back. If the ball compresses well on wedges, you will invariably reduce club head speed to compensate, thus reducing spin. Pro tip from a non-pro: never select a ball and compression on the driver speed and feel. 7 or 6 iron is where you want the sweet spot. You want your ball to force you to stay quick on your short game shots. For me, that number is 90-95. For everyone else, it’s different. My point here is that for $25 per dozen, there are FAR better options, unless your driver speed is in the low to mid-80 MPH range.
@@skyemac8 True, but where is the compression? Cover vs. core compression makes a HUGE difference. The blab about swing speed is to remind folks to not judge a ball on wedge performance.
As I expected. Good review. Improvements made but better options are out there. Too many related feel to spin. Not so. Soft is not spin. Esp. around the greens short shot and chips. One can develop consistency but IMO that is easier to do with a better spin option ball.
I have found a few of these balls on the course and tried them over a couple rounds. I found them too lively on approach shots onto the green which isn't the end of the world, but the feeling from mid-iron shots was a deal breaker. I struggled to adequately describe how it felt (I personally described it as like hitting a spongy rock), but your description as a dead feeling definitely rings true from my experience. I won't be spending money buying any of these balls. I now use any Supersofts that I find for practice shots over water hazards. Great review as normal.
Brought a dozen and the 1st sleeve was ok then the rest had a sticky feel.Tried washing in Dawn with no effect. Tried white vinegar & baking soda and still sticky. What to do?
Honestly they could be good for her. My mom uses the super softs as well. Although I definitely recommend her trying the Reva for driver and iron shots. It's the equivalent of the max and honestly it's incredible how great the numbers were. My mom and I instantly saw better results than the super soft.
I am haunted by your comments regarding golf ball forgiveness, specifically related to the vice pro/vice air. That is a compliment. If I didn't trust your opinion, I wouldn't care what you said. So that leaves me wondering, do I want a ball that's more consistent or do I want better shots when I make better contact?
That's a question I think every golfer needs to ask themselves. The thing is though, not every ball that lacks forgiveness will give you better on pure strikes. Also, it really throws your game off when an average strike goes 150, a pure strike goes 165, and a miss hit goes 140. Consistency is king for me
I have two issues with the Supersoft…..#1 it explodes too much of the club chipping around the green for me, can’t tame the distance…#2 it explodes off the putter, once again, can’t tame the distance. I realize, if I only played the supersoft, I would get used to it. Just not for me.
If your skill level is higher, the Bridgestone BRX and BRXS would be high on my list. Both are around 65 compression, but both are tour level balls. Fred Couples plays the BRX.
Couple quick things. Please quit talking about overcompressing, you arent. Im a 9 and would be a 2-4 if i ever practiced or played more than once every week or two. I just played them last rnd because of all the reviews and had zero issues. I hit my 50 degree further than your 9. Not a knock just showing i hit much harder/faster than you and had zero issues. I butchered 2 holes and still shot 80. My review. Decent length, fairly straight Good iron spin Very consistent Great putting Nice feel but kinda dead Now the elephant…greenside spin. I could get it to check no problem but it had to be a perfect little nip. Anything less it does lack. Very consistent ball. As someone who has also tested a ton of balls last 3 yrs i massively disagree with your top 50 assesment, its far better than that. Its not a ball for me but its a good ball.
I would love to see a review of various balls at difference price points where the golfer has no idea what so ever what ball hi is hitting. Can’t help but think most reviews are heavily swayed by prejudices brought on by marketing.
Oh absolutely. They most definitely are. That's one of the things I strive for in my reviews. I try to leave personal opinion out of it as much as humanly possible. The design I can't do much about, I mean it's kind of subjective so I have to put my opinion in a little bit lol. But other than that I try to just give you guys the numbers and what they are. Then you can do with the information what you will. However I 100% agree that I have seen many golf ball reviews where you can tell from the beginning that the reviewer isn't going to give it a chance.
I can see buying them if you were down to the found TopFlites in your bag and you walk in the ProShop at the turn, boom, $25 out the door. Come to think of it, maybe just get a hotdog and a beer and play the TopFlites. You will find something on the back that is better.
When I find one of these it goes in my wife's bag. For me this ball is horrible off the tee, especially in hot weather. You mentioned the matte colored ball had a different feed to the touch, and I noticed the same thing. I also thought the matte seemed even softer and mushy. This in my opinion is one of the worst balls on the market.
Not going to lie I had to look this person up because I'd never heard of them. I'll admit I definitely see the resemblance. Maybe I can get as many majors as him also one day 😆
Point of concern: I know you like to present yourself as someone with a "normal" swing speed. But I don't think that's true. I think you're faster than most golfers. Why? Because THEY DON'T KNOW! They don't know how far they carry their clubs. They don't know their miss tendencies. And they certainly don't know things like swing speed, launch angle, etc. This internet thingy, as universal as we think it is, is just a bubble a lot of people live in. I believe that, if your driver swing speed is in the high 90s (like mine), you're going to overpower some balls that others love. Why? Because their swing speeds are much slower than they think. They fall in love with this ball because, for them, it's a mighty good fit and the softness is incredibly deceptive.. I've played earlier versions of this ball. It's softness is intoxicating. And (again) deceptive. It was so soft it made even badly missed shots feel pretty good off the face. But it can be deceptive. People who swing like you do (I'm only a little bit longer myself) would benefit from a 3-piece urethane ball right below tour-level. (TM Tour Response, Titleist AVX, Snell Prime 3.0, etc.) I subscribed to this channel because I thought you were relatively objective, thorough, and down-to-Earth in your expectations. I continue to get the impression I was right. This was a terrific video, one all golfers--even those not considering playing the SuperSoft--should watch. And a channel they should subscribe to.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe. It means the world to me. The only reason I advertise as the average swing speed is because of a study done by golf digest. I have no idea what the parameters of their study was, but it shows that the average swing speed for a male in the world is 92 to 93 mph. I granted over the last couple years I've gone a little higher than that. So you could be right.
I find a lot of these (and other) Calloway balls. I don't need to buy them. They play ok. what in god's name was your practice putting surface made of?
Turf. I mean yeah you can't beat the price of free. However if you ever find yourself actually wanting to get better and go through the grind as we call it. Performing tournaments and try to win them, I would definitely recommend getting some consistency and finding a great golf ball for your game. But as a weekend warrior yeah absolutely these will do just fine
@@GolfBallAddict I don't know but when I was fitted for a new driver last fall my swing speed was 80 mph and if I really tried to go fast it was 82 mph. I do out drive most of the guys that I have played on my senior league so I'm not convinced on that number.
If you knew how to chip properly the results would be true. This applies to EVERY golf ball you review. But you're a high handicap, regardless of how delusional you are about your game..like most of us. But seriously, look at your chipping, you lack control and consistency. I enjoy your reviews, but you have to be realistic about your own skill and ability to properly diagnose how much spin a golf ball really has unless you're chipping is on point.
Hey Michael. I appreciate the constructive feedback. However there's a couple things to keep in mind. The first is, I'm not a high handicap player. That's factual based on my handicap from ghin. At my best I was a seven, at my worst I've been a 12. I would definitely call myself an average golfer. Which I do. In fact at this point I would make an argument that I'm a little better than average. I'm consistently shooting in the low 80s and occasionally getting into the high 70s. Another thing, when I'm chipping on the Green I'm only looking for the rotation on pure strikes. That's all I'm doing. I use the hole as a basis but I'm not zoned or focused on getting the ball in the hole. I'm focused on seeing the rotation once the ball hits and how high or low it launches off the club. Last but not least, come on Michael. If you're going to pick a ball to debate with me on spin, make it be a decent one. The Callaway super soft is arguably the lowest spin golf ball that's ever been created. Now if you were debating the TaylorMade tp5, a golf ball that I recently had some issues with, I would understand a little more. Once again, I appreciate the constructive feedback, I always welcome in on this channel. But I just disagree with it. Have a wonderful day
Well that's disappointing. For a couple of reasons. The first reason is that, you had a bad experience with the ball. It happens sometimes but I always hate it when it does. The other disappointing Factor is thinking that every time I recommend a golf ball every single person on Earth is going to have a wonderful experience with it. It just isn't the way it is. My channel is based on collecting data not only for the last 4 years but for the future so we can continue to learn more and more. The proper way to handle this would have been to just tell me your feedback and why you didn't like it so that way I have even more data in the future. Simply saying that you're going to unsubscribe and not come back I think kind of misses the point of the channel. I'm not trying to be mean in any way, like I said I definitely apologize for the experience being bad. But getting upset over a $30 a dozen golf ball seems a little bit of much don't you think?
Hey no problem man. If you just want to click the donate button below and donate around $1,000 that should be enough to wear I can have ample amount of time to do that. It should allow me to be able to quit my job and then I can make all my content at the golf course. Or you can just deal with the turf. Up to you.

Very soon. I just received another sleeve, so it's time to test
The super soft doesn’t stop on the greens, it just keeps on bouncing and bouncing and bouncing!!!!
That was my findings as well. Lots of bounce to the ounce
The yellow supersoft sticks the greens and checks up I'm being for real try it

The Wilson duos are incredible for cold weather. That super low compression really speeds up when the temperature drops

Great review. I have found a couple of Taylormade RBZ soft balls. They seem to be quite a long ball and good round the greens. For the average golfer (10-13 handicap) are they a good choice?

I haven't had the chance to test them yet, but are these golf balls even still readily available? I never see them in stores or anything
@@GolfBallAddictcertainly available on Amazon and ebay. I live in the UK - would that make a difference?

Whenever Amazon has the Supersoft golf ball on sale, I usually buy a few dozen.
How much is the sale usually for?
@@GolfBallAddict over the winter, they were on sale for 20 bucks.
I have been playing this ball for 4 years. In the last 6 months I have broke 6 of them in half.
That's strange. I wonder what's going on.,
Thoughts on this vs the duo soft?
The duo soft is better in every way in my opinion. Just never been a big super soft guy. I do like the max though
@ appreciate it! The numbers appeared better for the supersoft (distance, spin but it was different for each club) but you sounded much more positive on the Wilson. I’m still terrible but down to losing 1-2 balls a round so it can help be consistent! Just wanted a ball to grow with.
I was also able to find them for $35 for 2 dozen figured I’d give them a try along with the straightfli or softfli
What’s a good budget ball for good green side spin? I want something that checks up good.
Also, love the hat, I played the wedge at Cabot Citrus and loved it.
Thank you very much. I work there so that means a lot.
There are a quite of budget three-piece balls such as the legato, the vice line, and even more recently the wright and ditson
I game this ball in the matte green. Love the way it feels through the bag. Not my favorite for putting. I’ve been looking for something with a little more stopping power as my game has improved. I ordered a dozen of the Vice Air in the neon green after watching your review on it. I keep coming back to the Supersofts though. We will see how the Vice Air performs soon.
Snell 2.0 would also be a great ball for you to try.
Please let me know how you like the air once you start playing it. It's been a great ball and the feedback from other viewers has been awesome as well
@@GolfBallAddict played a few holes with both. Was not having a good round so more testing is needed. But from what I could tell when I hit it well it was a great ball, but when I didn’t it did me dirty. The forgiveness is much less than the Supersoft, but I’m getting to the point in my game I need a little more feedback. Didn’t have a good shot into the green to test stopping power, but short chips and putts felt great. I was a little longer off the tee by a few yards as well. More testing is needed, but it’s the first ball I’ve tried in a while that I felt like I wanted to keep trying.
How is the super soft campaired to the speedsoft from taylormade
I had way better results with the speedsoft.
It's a decent ball to play for slower swing speeds outside of 100 yards. But inside 100 yards it's a disaster pretty much. You're basically forced to play bump and run shots, can't use spin. And good luck trying to get it to stop out of a bunker.
That's one of the issues with having zero spin.
The reality is for less money you can play a better quality ball It sports a 3 piece construction (in lieu of the CSS 2 layers) and fabulous feel around the greens without giving up distance...All hail the Maxfli Tour!
Lol new reviews for those coming soon
With golf and addict in the phrase you have to give it a like and subscribe if you are honest with yourself in that you yourself are addicted to golf.
I am definitely addicted lol. I can't get enough. Always craving for more.
Callaway has clearly went with a firm core and soft cover, whereas TM went the other way. Long response ahead.
As far as spin goes, it’s all about club head speed. At 50 yards, I have several options: near full 60, three-quarter 54, pitch 48. As the club head and angle get lower, so will the spin. I’d hit the 60 if I needed to approach a pin close to the leading edge, a 54 if it’s somewhere in the middle, and the 48 if I want it to run to the back.
If the ball compresses well on wedges, you will invariably reduce club head speed to compensate, thus reducing spin. Pro tip from a non-pro: never select a ball and compression on the driver speed and feel. 7 or 6 iron is where you want the sweet spot. You want your ball to force you to stay quick on your short game shots. For me, that number is 90-95. For everyone else, it’s different.
My point here is that for $25 per dozen, there are FAR better options, unless your driver speed is in the low to mid-80 MPH range.
You know it’s a soft ball … why all the blab about your swing speed? Higher compression for faster swings. Nothing new.
@@skyemac8 True, but where is the compression? Cover vs. core compression makes a HUGE difference. The blab about swing speed is to remind folks to not judge a ball on wedge performance.
You are very knowledgeable about golf balls. Bravo sir. There's definitely more layers in the Glass Onion to peel back other than compression.
Can't beat the Srixon Ad333 great for mid to high handicappers and seniors (Srixon soft feel)
I haven't had a chance to test that ball yet but I've had plenty of people tell me it's amazing. I'll be testing it soon for sure
As I expected. Good review. Improvements made but better options are out there. Too many related feel to spin. Not so. Soft is not spin. Esp. around the greens short shot and chips. One can develop consistency but IMO that is easier to do with a better spin option ball.
I definitely have tested way worse balls. But I've also tested better. Falls in the middle for me
Would you recommend this ball over the maxfli softfli?
No
Is the pxg ball any good
I have found a few of these balls on the course and tried them over a couple rounds. I found them too lively on approach shots onto the green which isn't the end of the world, but the feeling from mid-iron shots was a deal breaker. I struggled to adequately describe how it felt (I personally described it as like hitting a spongy rock), but your description as a dead feeling definitely rings true from my experience. I won't be spending money buying any of these balls. I now use any Supersofts that I find for practice shots over water hazards.
Great review as normal.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I agree 100% on the Dead feeling. That just isn't any lively action to this ball at all.
Brought a dozen and the 1st sleeve was ok then the rest had a sticky feel.Tried washing in Dawn with no effect. Tried white vinegar & baking soda and still sticky.
What to do?
That sticky is by design. They put a little extra stick on it to help grip the green a little bit. It's becoming more common with budget balls
Thanks Nick. Based upon your findings, I'm not even going to try this ball.
Not a problem at all. I don't blame you. It's a very select market
any alternative "super Soft" balls i can recommend my wife to try instead? she only cares about the matte pink callaway supersofts unfortunately.
Honestly they could be good for her. My mom uses the super softs as well. Although I definitely recommend her trying the Reva for driver and iron shots. It's the equivalent of the max and honestly it's incredible how great the numbers were. My mom and I instantly saw better results than the super soft.
I am haunted by your comments regarding golf ball forgiveness, specifically related to the vice pro/vice air. That is a compliment. If I didn't trust your opinion, I wouldn't care what you said. So that leaves me wondering, do I want a ball that's more consistent or do I want better shots when I make better contact?
That's a question I think every golfer needs to ask themselves.
The thing is though, not every ball that lacks forgiveness will give you better on pure strikes.
Also, it really throws your game off when an average strike goes 150, a pure strike goes 165, and a miss hit goes 140.
Consistency is king for me
What are some other balls that perform better - can you list a few of your top three to five?
I will make a video on this soon.
Callaway super soft or the maxfli softfli? Which one you picking?
Maxfli all day. Couldn't hurt for a comparison though
Well i was gonna make a comment on the often disregarded maxfli soft fli . But you covered it.
I like the super soft better than the Pxg
Redo Srixon ball line up
Will do 😁
@@GolfBallAddict awesome! Srixon is one of my favorite brands and you are a reliable source (on UA-cam) for golf ball reviews
I have two issues with the Supersoft…..#1 it explodes too much of the club chipping around the green for me, can’t tame the distance…#2 it explodes off the putter, once again, can’t tame the distance. I realize, if I only played the supersoft, I would get used to it. Just not for me.
It has by far the most explosion around the green I've ever seen. Huge learning curve for sure
Cool shirt
Thank you! 😃
I played the Supersoft in 2018. I stopped playing the ball because the durability was poor.
It still is. So disappointing compared to others
For those of us that enjoy this ball but are willing to try a different ball what would you recommend. Senior golfer with slower swing speed here..Thx
There's a few, but the first one I would try Is the Taylor made speed soft
If your skill level is higher, the Bridgestone BRX and BRXS would be high on my list. Both are around 65 compression, but both are tour level balls. Fred Couples plays the BRX.
Couple quick things.
Please quit talking about overcompressing, you arent.
Im a 9 and would be a 2-4 if i ever practiced or played more than once every week or two. I just played them last rnd because of all the reviews and had zero issues. I hit my 50 degree further than your 9. Not a knock just showing i hit much harder/faster than you and had zero issues. I butchered 2 holes and still shot 80.
My review.
Decent length, fairly straight
Good iron spin
Very consistent
Great putting
Nice feel but kinda dead
Now the elephant…greenside spin. I could get it to check no problem but it had to be a perfect little nip. Anything less it does lack. Very consistent ball.
As someone who has also tested a ton of balls last 3 yrs i massively disagree with your top 50 assesment, its far better than that. Its not a ball for me but its a good ball.
You are fair to disagree friend.
I would love to see a review of various balls at difference price points where the golfer has no idea what so ever what ball hi is hitting. Can’t help but think most reviews are heavily swayed by prejudices brought on by marketing.
Oh absolutely. They most definitely are. That's one of the things I strive for in my reviews. I try to leave personal opinion out of it as much as humanly possible.
The design I can't do much about, I mean it's kind of subjective so I have to put my opinion in a little bit lol. But other than that I try to just give you guys the numbers and what they are. Then you can do with the information what you will.
However I 100% agree that I have seen many golf ball reviews where you can tell from the beginning that the reviewer isn't going to give it a chance.
I can see buying them if you were down to the found TopFlites in your bag and you walk in the ProShop at the turn, boom, $25 out the door. Come to think of it, maybe just get a hotdog and a beer and play the TopFlites. You will find something on the back that is better.
LOL could almost get a steak dinner for that price
The splatter stripe 😂😂💩
Lol that's fair
When I find one of these it goes in my wife's bag. For me this ball is horrible off the tee, especially in hot weather. You mentioned the matte colored ball had a different feed to the touch, and I noticed the same thing. I also thought the matte seemed even softer and mushy. This in my opinion is one of the worst balls on the market.
My mom really likes them. Definitely for the slower swinger crowd
This guy looks like a very young Raymond Floyd.
Not going to lie I had to look this person up because I'd never heard of them. I'll admit I definitely see the resemblance. Maybe I can get as many majors as him also one day 😆
Point of concern: I know you like to present yourself as someone with a "normal" swing speed. But I don't think that's true. I think you're faster than most golfers. Why? Because THEY DON'T KNOW! They don't know how far they carry their clubs. They don't know their miss tendencies. And they certainly don't know things like swing speed, launch angle, etc. This internet thingy, as universal as we think it is, is just a bubble a lot of people live in.
I believe that, if your driver swing speed is in the high 90s (like mine), you're going to overpower some balls that others love. Why? Because their swing speeds are much slower than they think.
They fall in love with this ball because, for them, it's a mighty good fit and the softness is incredibly deceptive..
I've played earlier versions of this ball. It's softness is intoxicating. And (again) deceptive. It was so soft it made even badly missed shots feel pretty good off the face. But it can be deceptive. People who swing like you do (I'm only a little bit longer myself) would benefit from a 3-piece urethane ball right below tour-level. (TM Tour Response, Titleist AVX, Snell Prime 3.0, etc.)
I subscribed to this channel because I thought you were relatively objective, thorough, and down-to-Earth in your expectations. I continue to get the impression I was right. This was a terrific video, one all golfers--even those not considering playing the SuperSoft--should watch. And a channel they should subscribe to.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe. It means the world to me.
The only reason I advertise as the average swing speed is because of a study done by golf digest. I have no idea what the parameters of their study was, but it shows that the average swing speed for a male in the world is 92 to 93 mph. I granted over the last couple years I've gone a little higher than that. So you could be right.
Like the old Callaway Diablo, a lot better, never got any distance with the soft
I've had some requests for the new Diablo to see how they test. Hopefully it's a little better than the last version cuz I wasn't a big fan either
What about SuperSoft Max? 😂
Actually I love the Max. Weirdly better numbers by far
I can spin it
Lol talented🏌️♂️⛳💯
Almost too soft. Seems to "spring" off of the putter face.
It's definitely hot
I find a lot of these (and other) Calloway balls. I don't need to buy them. They play ok. what in god's name was your practice putting surface made of?
Turf.
I mean yeah you can't beat the price of free. However if you ever find yourself actually wanting to get better and go through the grind as we call it. Performing tournaments and try to win them, I would definitely recommend getting some consistency and finding a great golf ball for your game. But as a weekend warrior yeah absolutely these will do just fine
10 yards shorter then the new AVX.
You must be a pretty fast swinger then. At least in the 90s
@@GolfBallAddict I don't know but when I was fitted for a new driver last fall my swing speed was 80 mph and if I really tried to go fast it was 82 mph. I do out drive most of the guys that I have played on my senior league so I'm not convinced on that number.
As a golf ball hunter, I can say people play and lose a ton of these balls.
They are all over the dang place. It's crazy.
Callaway makes some fantastic golf balls, this isn't one of them.
Definitely not my favorite from Callaway. I love some of their higher lines
If you knew how to chip properly the results would be true. This applies to EVERY golf ball you review. But you're a high handicap, regardless of how delusional you are about your game..like most of us. But seriously, look at your chipping, you lack control and consistency. I enjoy your reviews, but you have to be realistic about your own skill and ability to properly diagnose how much spin a golf ball really has unless you're chipping is on point.
Hey Michael. I appreciate the constructive feedback.
However there's a couple things to keep in mind. The first is, I'm not a high handicap player. That's factual based on my handicap from ghin. At my best I was a seven, at my worst I've been a 12. I would definitely call myself an average golfer. Which I do. In fact at this point I would make an argument that I'm a little better than average. I'm consistently shooting in the low 80s and occasionally getting into the high 70s.
Another thing, when I'm chipping on the Green I'm only looking for the rotation on pure strikes. That's all I'm doing. I use the hole as a basis but I'm not zoned or focused on getting the ball in the hole. I'm focused on seeing the rotation once the ball hits and how high or low it launches off the club.
Last but not least, come on Michael. If you're going to pick a ball to debate with me on spin, make it be a decent one. The Callaway super soft is arguably the lowest spin golf ball that's ever been created. Now if you were debating the TaylorMade tp5, a golf ball that I recently had some issues with, I would understand a little more.
Once again, I appreciate the constructive feedback, I always welcome in on this channel. But I just disagree with it. Have a wonderful day
I bought some Superfast balls based on your recommendation. Complete trash. Unsubscribed and never coming back.
Well that's disappointing. For a couple of reasons.
The first reason is that, you had a bad experience with the ball. It happens sometimes but I always hate it when it does.
The other disappointing Factor is thinking that every time I recommend a golf ball every single person on Earth is going to have a wonderful experience with it. It just isn't the way it is. My channel is based on collecting data not only for the last 4 years but for the future so we can continue to learn more and more. The proper way to handle this would have been to just tell me your feedback and why you didn't like it so that way I have even more data in the future. Simply saying that you're going to unsubscribe and not come back I think kind of misses the point of the channel.
I'm not trying to be mean in any way, like I said I definitely apologize for the experience being bad. But getting upset over a $30 a dozen golf ball seems a little bit of much don't you think?
You’re chipping on turf dude. Go to the golf course.
Hey no problem man. If you just want to click the donate button below and donate around $1,000 that should be enough to wear I can have ample amount of time to do that. It should allow me to be able to quit my job and then I can make all my content at the golf course.
Or you can just deal with the turf. Up to you.
Is the pxg ball any good
I tested it a while back and was very impressed. Especially considering it was their first attempt
