The Srixon soft feel doesn't hide in the bush like expensive balls
16:59 most impressive thing i may have seen Matty do, watch the balls when he drops them. Elite level athleticism there.
I made it 43 minutes on the prez debate, hit refresh on youtube, TXG popped up.....perfect.
Steve Matheny sane here
Srixon Soft Feel has been my favourite ball for a long time. I swing at 110 and see very little difference, if any, against a super premium ball, even with my short game. Love them.
I like the Srixon Soft Feel Yellow and the Wilson Duo Soft yellow in the spring and summer because the yellow pops when I am looking for my ball. I switch to white in the fall because the yellow gets lots in the leaves. The soft feel ball works for me with my lower swing speed, ~90mph.
Guys, you should build a table with all tested balls, their prices and results!
thinking about this for a long time! Would love to see a matrix with spin and launch on the axis :)
A tip: you can watch movies at kaldrostream. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Draven Tate Definitely, have been using Kaldrostream for months myself :D
@Draven Tate yup, have been using kaldrostream for since december myself =)
@Draven Tate Definitely, I've been using kaldroStream for years myself =)
The Soft Feel is one of the most underrated Golf balls on the Market today. I Hit a High Shot from the 7 Iron on down so stopping is never a problem. Again ? GREAT VIDEO.
Honestly, one of the best "Cheap Balls" I've ever hit, is the Wilson Staff 50 Elite. Those are $1 a ball, and perform far better than most people realize. I would love to see you all test them!
I agree......... In Canada, Costco sell a box of 24 Calaway soft for $23 dollars
So glad you guys did this review. Fell in love with this ball the first time I hit one on the course
Great test, cool to see! A cool test would be finding some old balls on the course and see how aged balls perform since most golfers i play with get their golf balls from the course 😂 Love you guys, cheers!
I have been using this ball for about a month, you confirmed my assessment using science. Great job.
Each video you guys put out seems to get better! Awesome work guys!
Always looking for an edge that might apply to us ( me ) older players who are passed ( almost passed ) their prime ball speed days, and living on limited income that want to find that ball that helps us out. Thanks guys, always good to watch what is going on with golf tech.
This video really clarifies and validates the blurb on sleeves of the Srixon balls. I’ve played with this ball and it’s suited where my game has been until recently. My long game is finally showing the impact of fitting and practice, lots of practice, so I’m using a higher end Srixon ball because I need it.
Thanks for a very useful demo for a ton of golfers.
Love the info packed into these vids.
Appreciate the deep dive fellas. Best review on the internet, thank you.
would love to see the gauntlet of $20 balls.
Wilson Staff Duo
Srixon Soft Feel
Bridgestone e6 soft
I picked a pack of these up a few months back and loved them. I often find myself in the rough and don't have the best sight so found the orange colour was great for me.
For most of us these are great balls. And love the feel. I've used these and the Wilson Duo Optix in the matte finish when there are leaves on the ground. Only downside to those can be that they seem to pick up mud more easily. These are worth a try.
I play these and love them. Very straight off the driver, easy to hit in the air and really nice feel off the putter.
I really love this ball. I'm a newer player (27 handicap) and play with a variety of clubs with different levels of technology, and the Soft Feel has proven to be the most reliable ball I've used. It has excellent distance and roll out, the cover is "grippy" enough to catch the grooves in your wedges and it rolls lightly on the greens. Not to mention the way they sound and feel when hit purely, they have such a satisfying click to them with irons and a loud crack when hit hard with a wood or driver. The sensation at impact is barely felt, when you hit them clean they send almost no vibration back into the club and you barely feel the strike. For the price they're the best option available from Srixon, and maybe even the best overall at the $20/dzn price range.
I another great video guys. I'd like to see these choice of colours in more of the premium balls. The colours make it easier to see in the air, due to my eye condition.
Thanks for the informative video. Moved from this kind of ball to tiger ball. Many more chips by the hole. The cheaper ball def served its purpose when I was starting the game.
Great timing. Got 2 doz of these and a doz of Q stars just yesterday at a tournament.
Great review. Never tried those. Somewhat surprised at the results. Great price for a good ball.
Great test! Would have liked to see the return of "100mph" right handed Matt to test the performance difference between this and the premium balls and a more moderate swing speed.
Love this thanks guys! Last of this ball type I played was the Nike PDSoft which was like a decade ago. Great to see affordable quality options are still out there!
Yep, went from PD Soft to Srixon Soft Feel in 2017 ish when the swoosh stopped making balls.. Affordable, playable and scoreable @ 3000-3200 yards/nine
Got these in mat red. Love em and it's just easier to track in flight imo. If I have a funky shot day I'll loose double the traditional white because I can't track it's flight in the air to pinpoint the drop
I love this channel... I love this kind of ball review even more.
I like playing a colored golf ball (like the Cut Orange at the moment) but just play more for budget. I lose golf balls... period.. so I want to play something I enjoy for as long as I can keep it and not hate myself when I lose 4 in a 9 hole round.
lots of love to you guys. Thanks for doing this. I would be interesting if you had a lower swing speed review of them because Matt is a beast and the lower speed might show even less value added with a $2.00 price jump per ball.
Been waiting for a test like this from you guys with matte vs regular finish on the "same ball".👍 Glad to see there isn't really a notable dry performance difference. I understand there is a significant wet difference though...
Bridgestone E6 would be a nice comparison to see against this one
Bridgestone TruSoft is a better comparison prob. I got them on sale for $11.50 doz and they are great. Long and soft. At my course the greens are typically soft and I don't want tons of spin.
Good ball. Does what I need it to do and it's consistent.
great stuff guys....thx for the info.....
I use soft feel through the winter. ProV1 during summer. They’re absolutely brilliant ball.
Been playing the Maxfli tour in matte green for about 50 rounds now. The color is easier for me to follow through the air. The ball itself is amazing. I can spin it pretty well from about 7 iron up and Dick's sporting goods has them 2 dz for $50 US frequently. At that price that ball is a steal. Love the ball tests guys. Keep them coming!
Great honest review, I play the yellow version, great ball for my game and price. I can easily identify my ball in the fairway while the other guys spend time figuring out who's Pro V1 is who's. If I hit one in that is likely OB, I'll take a quick look and if I don't find it I drop and take a stroke, the same guys will look for what seems like hours because they don't want to loose their $4 golf ball.
I generally play 2 piece balls (for cost vs loss reasons). I haven't purchased these, but did find one and played a few holes with it. I was surprised at how pleased I was with it. I always thought I had too much compression for it too, but as Matt showed, there really isn't that much of a distance tradeoff. I have also recently determined that I do really prefer a softer feel on the putter after trying the xv and finding it a bit too "clicky"
Play with the Callaway matt color ball’s. Easier to find for me and when we play in a group or 4.
Try Titleist Velocity. Not as soft but low spin, plenty of colours and reasonably priced. I find the Callaway’s wear very quickly but I like the ease of playing with a coloured ball.
Ive been playing this yellow ball eversince snake eyes yellows were discontinued, i love it!
Great points there guys , definitely if you found that mid round and played it you would think it’s a great ball , maybe notice wedging into green a little more roll , but it seems like there are way more better balls than bad ones available now .
Played these today for the first time. I hit a 300 yard drive on my first time using driver. I’m sold. Great feel on iron shots and around greens
me too.. but it's a ball I've played in the past so very interested to see the outcome
Great video, would love to see the Ad333 tested as you mentioned near the end of the video! 👍🏾
I’d love to see a review of the Taylormade Noodle. I’ve been buying a bag of 30 off Amazon for 25 GBP. If Matt is over compressing the Soft Feel, the Noodle will get squashed! Ps for 80 pence a ball you can’t beat them 🤓
I wait for when Srixon does the bogo sale in the spring and stock up z star xv. $20 per dozen is the best deal in golf
This guy knows
Got a backup supply of Z Stars in the basement from this year's sale. Gonna buy more next sale whether I need them or not. Great balls.
Yup same here but get the q star tour balls instead
@@jessehughes3877 yup just stock pile Z-Star XV when they go on 50% off here
Where does this sale happen?
I am playing the Vice Pro Soft in bright red matte. Now with the new models they stopped the matte finish due to performance issues. I noticed a significant difference between the matte and glossy finish. But only on the greens. The matte ball is running a lot slower than the glossy ball. I already noticed it on my training carpet at home but recently when I played I had to switch to a glossy Vice Pro and I my putts were much longer than with the matte balls.
Golftown Wpg. 19.95 today .. bought a box not cause of the price, because of the feel .. nice sound, feel good coming off the club .. very pleased
I’ve played the standard Q-Star for over a year now, as they can be had in a double-dozen at Dunham’s Sports for $32. Soft Feels are also offered in a double-dozen for under $30. For a 15+ handicapper with mid-to-low club head speed that loses a few balls from time to time, they’re a great value
An interesting option at this price point is the offering from Cut golf. They have a few interesting options as well. I've played them and found the Grey and Blue options to be very soft.
Also great video as always, gotta give these bad boys a try, love the flight and low spin but never know until you get on the course.
But for a request for these new balls; the Taylormade soft response or the Bridgestone e12
Yeah. Do the Soft Response next!
interesting, i just went back to the srixon soft feel after 3 months of the Bridgestone e12 soft, definitely got some much needed driver distance back from the very first hole
I play these balls with Mizuno zoid pro 2s blades and you haven't felt butter until you do that pair. This shines alot of light on what I been struggling with though. Great job
And reg flex shaft for good measure
I do like this ball. I have found it to offer me overall the best performance / value.
It would be be nicee of you would to review the honma tw-x golf ball it is also a midrange golf ball with a urethane cover
Matt’s spot on..I’m 34, I’ve been playing since I was about 12 and I use normal white golf balls..one of my best friends uses the green srixon balls or the green callaway balls and he’s just started playing..it really seems to be something they newer players enjoy..I like the looks, I just wouldn’t game it
Please do a versus each ball company in the bracket of like the srixon soft feel, Callaway supersoft, Titleist trufeel, taylormade soft response, Bridgestone e6, Mizuno rb 566, and Wilson staff duo soft.
add Maxfli noodle and Bridgestone TruSoft (cheaper)
Looks like a great value for the money ball with a little bit of included forgiveness, his drives and iron shots are so pure und straight, I am going to give these a try! :)
Golftown has good sales throughout year. Last sale I loaded up on Honma urethane balls for $30 Canadian a dozen.
Nice ball. Played the last couple rounds with a 12 pack I bought for $21.99 at my local Roger Dunn shop. Good ball good price nice feel. Would buy these again
I have been playing the Srixon soft feel yellow balls for 2 years and might try the Q-Star Tour since my course has firm fast greens.
Good call
I changed to q star tours this year
Excellent ball for a great price
I have been playing a e12 contact in matte for several months an ended up buying a white version an noticed a significant difference for me anyway..maybe psychological but might be an interesting test if there's a difference between brands an color finishes
I'd be interested to see the matte balls tested in wet. I've seen some noticeable difference in spin from the matte balls when there is moisture on the ball. Would be an interesting test.
LOVE the feel of matte golf balls I might never go back, neon bright green Maxfli 2x dozen for $35 when on sale is a great deal for rec golfers and serious golfers, great distance ,feel spin, and I can spot em a mile away. Been using them for years. Played it vs a Pro V1 yesterday I noticed zero difference we're not pros save your money , I actually ended up throwing the pro v1's in the bottom of the bag lol . Awesome ball go grab the MAXFLI !!!
Great winter golf ball.
ever since I first saw these matte finish balls, I've always wondered if they spin more, less, or the same. now I know!
Played Bridgestone e6 forever and tried the Srixon Q Star and didn’t like it. Switched to the e12 when the original e6 was changed and never really liked the e12. Then Srixon released the Q Star Tour 3 piece ball and loved it!! I would love for you guys to do an in depth review and test on the Srixon Q Star Tour. Really seems to be a tour level ball at a fair price point.
Play these but am about to try the Inesis. Can’t stand the matte finish, I wouldn’t pick one up if I found one!
I’ve become a HUGE fan of the AD333 ball only place in I can find them in stores in Ontario is at Sportchek normal retail price is $32.99 can get them 50% off towards the start of the season AMAZING deal for the performance of that ball would be more then willing to sacrifice a sleeve for you guys to test if you’d want to do that ball test 👍🏻
The AD333 is in north america. I picked up 5 boxes at 50% off from sport check. awesome deal.
As a long time player of premium balls, ie ProV's, TP5's (great ball btw), Chromes, etc....I really like this Srixon ball. Probably not the best ball in the heart of Texas summers on hard bermuda greens, but the ball just feels wonderful. And I can make double bogey with this one as easily with the $$$ balls!
You guys should try out the CutDC balls from CutGolf. $30 a dozen for their highest quality golf ball, $10 a dozen for their budget ball
I wish you guys would test out the OnCore Elixr and Oncore Vero X1 ball...they have some serious zip on wedges and so low spin off the tee
I really love these less expensive ball videos. I have a few good rounds a year and think I need to pay $40 for balls but then the next round I lose half of them. $20 is about the max price I can stomach to lose. I played the soft feel for a few years might need to go back.
Srixon AD333 on sale at Spork Chex for $15.98/dz
I felt this way about the ChromeSoft line of balls from Callaway. It felt like I was hitting a ball made out of waffles.
I agree, and it even throws me off while putting!
From the Midwest: The AD333 was readily available in the US for a long time, just about anywhere. It has become increasingly more difficult to find over the past 2 years. Golf Galaxy told me it was being discontinued in the US market. It was my go to ball. Was also told the Q-star is the AD333 replacement in the market bacause they are virtually the same ball.
Yup it is the replacement for the ad333
Try the q star tour 3 piece ball
Its a great ball
I saw the AD333 at Walmart yesterday.
Thank you
I’d be interested to see a review of the new RZN balls, looks like the design from the old Nike balls - quite liked the last generation of platinum and black.
I play the colored ball early Spring and fall so I can find it easy and I don't mind losing. When it get into the meat and potatoes of golf season then I use premium golf balls
Really interesting review for me. I got a few of these about 4 weeks ago just prior to playing a fairly difficult course in Johannesburg, South Africa. I decided to use them instead of my normal Srixon Z-Star XV or Bridgestone BXS. I am a pretty high spin, high launch player with moderate tempo and a driver clubhead speed of around 106 - 110mph.
I shot -2 on the day. Hit one of the longest drives I have this entire year of 355m (380 yards) and hit a 6 iron into an almost 600y par 5. Irons were going around half a club longer with a really nice high flight. I was surprised a few times by the run out I was getting with my short irons into greens but now I understand exactly why that was happening.
Being such a low compression ball I was worried about losing significant distance on the driver due to over compression but that certainly wasn't the case. Equally surprised to see such low spin numbers for the half wedge shots but it does explain why I was running out a little.
Thanks
110mph club head speed and 380 yard drives don't match up lol
They do at 6000 feet above sea level and hard fairways.
The AD333 is available at sports chek in Canada. Just saw it when looking for golf balls online
Keep the ball tests coming boys, could you test the Bridgestone BXS please?
Guys, Please check Callaway chrome soft VS Super soft VS ERC soft. Love the content.
These are the balls I play. Obviously, the price point is the main reason. I also have a box of Chrome Softs that I break out on occasion. There's definately a difference around the green and on shorter wedges. After that tho, I'm happy with the softfeel. And after seeing this vid I feel alot better about gaming them. Thx gents 👍
Great job again. Keep it up guys. Kirkland vs Pro v1..........?
I like to play the matte orange balls for better visibility in the air and on the ground. Depending on the day I struggle to see white balls in the air if it is cloudy. I should mention that I have some colour blindness issues so the orange, yellow and white are the best options.
More balls need to be reviewed in this price range for us more value minded golfers! Walmart in the US and Amazon sells the AD333 and I find they check up a touch better than the Srixon SoftFeel. I'd love to see a review on the Vice Tour ball and Mizuno RB 566 as these keep popping up in my research as being great value 2-piece balls but with no real numbers behind the recommendations. There are only reviews of high end "tour" balls but the reality is there are a lot of people trying to find the cheapest ball that fits their game.
Got them two-for-one Father’s Day special on Srixon website...with custom printing!
I found one of these (flat coat green) golf balls last week.
I used it on the next (7th) hole just to see what it played like...
339 yard drive, straight as an arrow, 42 yds from the green.
Chipped it up, 8 inches from the cup.
1-putt for birdie.
Funny thing is, I felt like I was hitting a bag of jello & right when I hit it, I thought it was only going to be about a 240 yd drive. I complained that I duffed it, and everyone laughed when we were looking at about the 240-260 range but saw it way TF up the fairway another 70+ yds! HAHA!!
Used my Pro V1 and TP5 for the remainder... maybe once of twice the whole round with those balls I hit 300 and some change yds, the remainder were less.
Then I pulled out the Srixon Soft Feel again for the 18th.
Drove it straight as an arrow again, 312 yds.
Pitched onto the green from 41 yds away, 2ft from the cup.
Putted it in for birdie.
I LOVE THESE SRIXON SOFT FEEL GOLF BALLS!
Great ball for a 15 HC. Feels clean off the club face and keeps the ball in the fairway
I've played with the matt golf balls and the only gripe I would have is that, for some reason, they seem to pick up more mud when they land. Not great when you can't clean the ball. Maybe it's just my perception though...maybe I should stop hitting them in the swamp! They are definitely easier to spot though...unless it's Autumn and those lovely red, orange and yellow leaves are everywhere.
I get them in multiple colors to help me determine my distances w/ multiple clubs.
I switched from ProV1 to srixon soft feel. My wedges hit and stick now, instead of spinning back 20ft with the ProV1
I’ve found that when putting with a matte golf ball, there is a bit more grip or friction between the ball and the putting surface causing me to have to put a little more pace on putts than when putting with a ball with a standard cover.
I’ve found this too. Using a Bridgestone e12 matte and had to hit it harder than a few others I use
179 carry and 180 total is sick. I"m getting 12yds of rollout on my 7i.
Should do a Srixon Soft Feel vs Callaway Supersoft comparison video…maybe throw Titleist soft feel in there also
I’m a beginner player lover the Srixon Lady soft feel, don’t know why just seems to work for me
Here in the states we have Reload Pro V1 refurbished balls for $21 a dozen and the only drawback I've had with them is theyre all numbered 1. I find they're just as good as new ones. Not sure if that varies from company to company who sell refurbished balls
Little off topic but curious as to what you expect to see in club head speed drop off going through the set??? Driver to wedges
I thought Callaway ERC felt soft until I got some of these balls. $21 Walmart. I play a course that is only a few miles from gulf coast. Normal wind speed can be 8mph up to 12mph. This ball is excellent for that purpose. I have found my new cheap ball...Srixon Soft Feel. I do prefer the Callaway ERC or the ProV1 around the greens for more spin, but this Srixon is very adaptable. They are going to sell tons of these.....
