Hey thanks for watching the video! If you enjoyed the video or appreciated the shot at 2:15 hit LIKE!!! Comment below which golf balls your prefer!?
Rick Shiels Golf I've been using Chrome Soft for some time about two years. It's definitely my ball of choice [unless I'm having one of those days]
Rick Shiels Golf rick, please do e6 speed vs e6 soft, thankss, good luck, keep up the great vids
How did the casings hold up? Did it mar at all or was it durable?
Eric Perry did you not watch the video?
I did I must have missed it. No need to be an ass, just asking a question.
As a senior golfer, I recognize that the difference in golf balls declines exponentially with swing speed. My wife, an avid golfer, can’t slice her driver because her swing speed doesn’t generate enough ball speed to create the necessary spin. She commonly flys her driver shot 145 yards, occasionally 175, with a skip to the right when it hits the ground. But, she’s always in the fairway. I’ve bought the lady Precept, Titleist ProV1, Bridgestone E6 soft, and she finally settled on the Calloway Super Soft. I have discovered that at our age that the slower your swing, the more important “feel” becomes. So, the 5-700 difference in spin rpm becomes meaningless if you don’t hit the ball at the optimum speed. The difference you saw in the 2 balls you tested, would be statistically zero if I did the same test. I appreciate your comment about there being so little difference in the performance of balls, as I was about to give in to the hype about that self repairing resin coating and the massive difference that was being claimed in the advertising. They’re great balls, no doubt, competitive with any premium ball in the world, better than some. But, are premium golf balls the right choice for us “old guys and gals”? In my wife’s case, the Calloway SuperSoft is worth every penny. She rarely loses a ball and they come in pink! As for me, the Wilson Elite 50, Duo and Zip sure seems to work well.
I started playing the supersoft and I love it! Good feel around the greens and more forgiving off the tee than a Pro V1x
Ive just started playing with the super soft and love how they feel...they have given me a lot more confidence in my shots
I like the supersoft because it comes in colors other than white and yellow
That's why I played super soft for a while until I hit a drive and noticed how much shorter it was than where I usually land
vice too
Been using Chrome Soft and Truvis, but recently changed to the Supersoft. Great round the greens, love the soft feel. I tend to hit the ball high so the lower spin numbers have made longer/full shots more controllable. Haven't noticed any problems with stopping the ball. Also 2/3rd the price..................I lose them before wearing them out, lol.
with you there, can't beat them for $22 USD per dozen
Same. I used to play Chrome Softs too, but just switched to the Super Soft. I also hit my shots very high and found it fairly easy to control my draw with the super soft. Distance was spot on too. I’ve also started putting with the ERC Soft ball. Love the feel and look with the 3 lines. Haven’t hit full shots with it yet though.
Holy cow Rick your swing is looking really amazing right now. Getting some speed on the down swing. I like it!
Great review of these balls. I prefer the supersoft for feel and distance. My best rounds came using the supersoft, 68-70. Keep up the great work for golf.
I love the feel of the super-soft and that's all that matters for me. Improving my score has a hundred times more to do with improving my swing than it has to do with the ball.
They’re amazing.
I love the callaway super softs they are literally my favorite golf ball that ive uaed yet still use them to this day amazing feel at least to me and i get great distance and it seems like I hit them better then any other gold ball ive used
Great review. I always game the super soft and you were right on with the durability issues. Good to see that I'm not missing out with the expensive balls.
Thanks Rick. Definately Supersoft is my favorite as putting with a soft ball really feels great and builds confidence. I find the reduced spin also helps reduce slices on Drivers. I hate losing these beauties! The Yellow ball helps my poor eye sight. They also now come in funky matt finish greens and reds to freak out your playing partners!
My other go to soft choices would be Wilson, DuoSoft or 50/50. Thanks again, love your videos!
i love the super soft ball for those exact reasons (even in 2034!). i like to get them in matte orange because they’re easy to find
Great review,
I have been playing CSoft Truvis for a year now and I think they are amazing, specially considering the price.
Great feel, spin and as u said, they don't wear out quickcly.
Thanks Rick!
Great videos. I'm currently playing chrome soft x - I am liking the srixon zstar as well.
Keep up the good work!
liked it, loved it, love the ball test videos Rick. Thank you and keep it coming! more more more!
Great review Rick! I know most of us believe that the softer the ball feels the more spin we should be getting. Therefore we think we get more back spin on the greens. Apparently this is not the case. I have played all trhee of these golf balls and now I am glad you taught me something extra about them, Thanks.
great review Rick - thanks for answering so many questions I had. I use Chrome Soft now and was wondering about the other two - might try the supersoft just to see.
Took up golf in March of this year & was recommended the SuperSofts featured in this video. I bought mine in bright orange matte finish as they were on offer & from a beginners perspective, I can recommend highly. I get good feel from around the green & consistent flight with them, and the bright orange finish makes them really pop in the rough. Rick is right about the durability & spin, they do scuff up quickly and the balls can roll off a green if your not careful. Even when they're not on offer, they're a good price so I'd recommend the Callaway Supersofts to anyone who is starting out or needs good balls on a budget.
Having said all of that, I'm now considering going to a harder golf ball & I'm really glad you did this video Rick. I may well go for a box of the Chrome Soft balls just to see if I can get a difference. Many thanks, Matt
I play ProV1X. When temps dropped below 45f last winter I tried the Supersoft and really liked it. Allowed me to have some feel with the ball. In fact it felt a bit like my ProV1X in warmer conditions. My wife plays the supersoft, her favorite ball.
Great long awaited and needed test Rick. Been watching you for years this just made me subscribe...
been quite a few years since I used a Callaway golf ball, but always liked using them when I did. I would very happily try the supersoft ball, as I really love the softer feel balls and will happily put up with a bit of scuffing for that additional feel around the green. I think the supersoft would be great for windy days and playing links golf, where keeping the ball down and making chip n run shots would be the order of the day. As much as like a ball to be able to spin nicely off a wedge, there are times that will forgo that.
Very good review Rick! I just recently tried the Chrome Soft X and found the same results you have highlighted.
Could you do a comparison of the AD333, AD333 Tour and the Z Star? All very popular balls!
I played some Callaways lately and they are very tough, go long, and feel soft around the green, can't ask for more than that I love them.
Supersoft is my ball for a year and its a game changer for me. Beautiful around the greens. Love it
I've been playing the chrome soft for a couple weeks now and I love it. I played Bridgestone 330 before
Great review Rick!
Chrome soft in my opinion is the best premium ball on the market. When comparing to pro v, the chrome soft feels much better on putts and shots around the greens. The pro v feels much harder and that clicking sound when putting makes me prefer the chrome soft a lot more.
I've spent most of this current season playing the Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X. But I've also played the Srixon Z-Star. I might want to give the Super Soft a try. I like the feel of a softer ball around the greens.
I'm holing more putts with the super soft I'm going to start playing them as my number one ball
I play now the chrome soft. I changed from the prov1 . More spin softer feeling and cheaper! Amazing!
Good analysis..fair, easy to follow...vintage types..me! supersoft flies well ..and for senior golfers getting to the green is a big deal not stopping ...
Long time pro v player. Switched last year to the chromies. I love the muted sound and the softer feel. I tried the new super soft for two rounds and could not get them to sit when I was chipping. I'll be sticking with the chromies
I used to play super inexpensive golf balls from Top Flite XL's and Intech Beta Ti's. Started playing a bit more this year and bought a sleeve of Chrome Soft's in the clubhouse on one of my rounds. I wound up not losing a single ball all game and was able to control my short irons and my chipping/pitching better than I ever have before. I also was able to putt much better than I have before. I'm now playing Chrome Soft's exclusively.
I'm hitting the Callaway super soft yellows right now. i just love the feel of them.
Still loving them a year on?
@@PaulWilliamArnold I've been playing them for two months and they are absolutely my go-to ball. As I've gotten better, I wish it had more spin. However, I will be sticking with Callaway golf balls.
I've been playing the chrome soft recently. like it a lot. I dig the tru vis color too. I'm interested in trying those Bridgestone B330s's next.
Great ball with a ton of spin due to the slip res cover. Highly recommend
I've been waiting for this video! Thanks Rick! 👍👍👍👍
Awesome review !! Love the Chrome soft (I play the Truvis Red/white). Was thinking about switching to the X but after seeing this review I don’t need too
Best review yet of this ball, thank you!
Yeah rick you gotta try out bridgestone b330... it's truly a game changer
100% agree about super soft!
It felt like I was using a rubber band ball. Made me nervous, I struggled with putting & chipping with it.
If you play chrome soft, switch to supersoft on days you're shorting chips to the hole.
Use the roll out to your advantage. Switch as needed.
Supersoft was my favorite ball to hit but it just doesn’t bite on chips or pitches. I’ve found the Superhot to be the best of both worlds, it feels great on full shots, checks up, and putts better for me bc it’s a bit firmer. Slightly more distance, too. Love ‘em!
I play Callaway, and like you prefer the feel, and price, of the Supersoft. I have found the Chrome Soft holds greens better, so it was good to see data that backs that up. I would play Chrome Soft if I did not lose so many balls.
Actual honest marketing. I'm impressed. I hope that's rewarded, I've thought for a long time honesty in marketing would help both the sales and the customer.
Do the B330 line of balls next!
Great video! I've done my own comparison with the Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X. I personally still like the Chrome Soft over the X. I've never liked the Supersoft.
Another great review Rick. Can you do a test of the Wilson Staff Duo and Duo Spin. Also, could you do a comparison with the Callaway Supersoft and Wilson Staff Duo? I'm currently using the Duo and find it has a really soft feel. I've also had a few hits with the Callaway Supersoft and find it very similar to the Duo.
Great video, Rick! Love your analysis. Also, as noted on the Callaway website, the covers on the 3 balls are all different!!
Supersoft: Ionomer
Chrome Soft: Tour Urethane
Chrome Soft X: Thermoplastic Urethane
As an "all-around" ball, though.....the Supersoft sure looks like a winner for the price. Keep up the great work, Rick. Your channel is AWESOME! 👍👏
Hello Rick. I love the SuperSoft. I find that it fits my slower swing speed. It is very forgiving. I did pickup a box of Kirkland golf balls. I played 9 holes this Monday at a links style course near my home in St George Utah in the US. The Kirkland balls felt very good. Great feel around the greens. This link style course has very large greens with a lot of angulation. I had a shot from the fringe that was about 95 feet. I used my 6 iron and it came off the face very well and rolled within 3 to 4 feet. Only negative was I lost about 10 to 15 yards which is not good because I am not that long off the tee. Typical drive is about 225 yards. Just found your channel a few months ago. Love the Channel. Thanks!
Fantastic Review, expertly done, justifies the SuperSoft as a very good value ball; I still need to try the Soft and X
Yes! Really wanted to see this
I like the supersoft because I usually hit it on the front of the green or on the fairway, so I don't really need it to stop. Also I like the different colors they come in.
I enjoy the chrome soft, very good ball. I'm trying out the Wilson fg tour ball at the moment. That ball soars when you hit it.
Hey Rick great video as always I would like to see you review some of the smaller ball manufactures, like Snell, and Vice. Like to know your opinion on them and see what kind of data you can come up with compared to the big boys.
Love how i commented on Peter Finch's channel wanting u to do a ball video a few hrs ago and as if by magic u posted this!
Hi Rick I’ve been watching you since a long time way back when I bought my first set of Wilson staff irons .. can you do a video on the Wilson duo vs the 40 Compression and then the 60 compression
Rick, please try a test with the Maxfli series of balls.
I just played 18 today using 3 Supersoft balls, they definitely do take a beating but I agree they have a great putting feel. Course was wide with large greens, so spin control wasn't a huge factor, but I have a couple dozen Chrome Soft X that I'm excited to use when I play Port Royal in Bermuda next month where I'll need more control
I have the super soft and super soft max I had a hard time with them sticking in the green they would hit and roll out. I bought some referb pro v1x at Walmart $19.99 for 12 and what a difference great control, distance, and spin they stick on the greens. That being said I have not tried a chrome soft and think I will get the chrome soft x triple track to try. Great video as always
Can you do a review on TaylorMade Project A golf ball
I was surprised with the X on how hard it felt. I got them before release back in the day when I was at OCN. Thanks for taking a photo with me.
I can’t get enough of these reviews, even when I have no idea what Ricks talking about.
Great video Rick. Going to give the Chromesoft a try after watching that.
Hi I used the CS for the front nine and then the Srixon z star on the back nine last week and noticed I scored better with the CS than the zstar. In saying that I found the z star going further off the driver but other than that there was little separating the two golf balls.
Good review. Helpful information without getting lost in the numbers.
I've been playing the Top Flite Gamer (and later the Urethane cover Gamer Pro) for the past few years and have been very happy with it. Great feel, plenty of spin, durable and very affordable - what's not to like? Last fall I tried the Chrome Soft and fell in love. It's got an even softer cover, loads of spin but not quite as affordable (fortunately I don't lose that many balls anymore). I was getting a *lot* more spin off my irons - the first time I was backing the ball up with an 8 iron - and that sealed the deal. I've been playing the Chrome Soft since last fall and haven't had any regrets.
Rick, thanks for the great video. I'd really like to see the exact same test done with a player with a much lower swing speed than yours. For instance, a high HC player with an 85mph swing versus your 110 to 115mph swing. I wonder if the results would show more separation between the results of the 3 balls. Take care.
What I love about the Supersoft balls is they come in high vis orange, which I find very easy to see both in flight and on short grass. And they’re cheaper than Volvik Vivid.
As a beginner I can’t tell any difference in golf balls, price is more important when I’m always losing them in bushes or water hazards.
I'm always up to try new golf balls. I usually play the Bridgestone E5, ProV1 or the Snell MTB. Been wanting to try the Chrome softs.
Great videos. I'd love to see a golf ball match up video pitting snell mtb red vs vice pro vs cut blue golf balls.
Always play with supersoft as the feel off the putter us really good. As a 20 hcp, price is an issue with the no of lost balls. Found that a lot of my shots are chipping and putting onto greens within 50 yards so suit me just fine.
I've just recently changed to Srixon Q-Star. Amazing feel and decent spin.
Rick I’m a high handicapper and currently use the Chrome Soft in a yellow ball and really enjoy my short game with these balls.
Curious about the supersoft. I spin the ball a lot with my current equipment on full shots, and I hit the ball very high, so stopping the ball is no problem. I also don't rely on spin around the greens (I like to bump-n-run, and use height for quick stops). This ball sounds like a fit.
Great video, really explains it all
I'd love to get your opinion on TP Project A. I've compared the A to several balls including Super soft and keep coming back to the A. Excellent spin for me and nice off the driver.
Thanks, next test will be to see what they changed for 2018 and are they really as good as the ProVx? I play the Chrome Soft x 2017 version and I'm curious about the difference with the new ball.
Great info, you have a new sub for sure.
Excellent review Rick. Thanks
Enjoyed this review. Could you do a similar one with the Srixon range of balls, including the newest Soft Feel?
Nice video. Would be interesting to see a run of the mill / no brand vs these 3 as an extra benchmark !
I play with the supersoft ball. Love it as it is longer than other balls I have used (or found!). Maybe give the chrome soft balls ago and compare. Thanks for the review and very useful
\
I recently picked up a box of the super softs and the titleist AVX. I’ve been gaming the Pro V1’s the last couple years. I prefer the softer feel of the softer balls on the putting green using a milled face putter. The jury’s not out yet but I seem to have better distance control with the AVX.
You're review matches my sentiment exactly. I love hitting SuperSoft but they will not stay on the green on approach shots.
I was using the Chrome Soft Truvis. But got a few dozens of Nike Rzn for very low price during their liquidation. Wow those were amazing golf balls! Thinking of picking up a few more on ebay.
I play Titleist Tru-soft on warm days and Callaway Supersoft on cold days. I like them both. I won three dozen Chrome Soft balls last year and I think they are OK.......but they feel a bit hard for my taste. BTW...... I used to be a decent golfer, now, after having neck fusion surgery, a hip replacement, and needing major back surgery....... I plainly suck. So, I am always looking for a longer ball that performs around the green. Supersoft is my go-to ball. GREAT review, Rick! You are very popular with my golf group up here in the cold Maine woods.
Big fan of your videos, very helpful. Just wanted to throw my idea out for your next video. I currently play a new Pro V1x, but recently I bought a dozen of the new Tour B330's considering I have a fast swing speed. Could you consider reviewing all 4 of the new B330 balls? Would like to see another persons review on those balls. Thanks
Great Vid Rick. I am a callaway fanboy. I have tried them all and pretty much have the same exact opinions. At the end of the day I game the supersoft.
The growth in your channel is exceptional rick you've surpassed Mark crossfield now! 🍻💪
Trying out the Kirkland 3 piece, so far I like the way they putt, I'm playing Friday so I will know how they do out on the course by then.
Been playing the chrome soft for some time and happy with them. Then given some supersofts a few months ago and they are brilliant (for me) i play off 13 and its mostly about the putter feel for me. They definitely wear out quicker the chrome softs but i cant see any difference in holding the greens. Maybe a lower handicapper who can create more spin will see the benefit. Price isnt the issue for me, i just want to use the ball which helps me better my scores.
After watching this, I am going to buy some SuperSofts to try out. I am not a long hitter but am generally very straight and want to see how they perform for me with the short irons. It's winter here in Michigan so I am getting cabin fever waiting for spring.
For years been a Srixon soft feel player, found a Supersoft on the course, used it and lost it straightaway, but loved the feel. I hit the ball low and with little spin anyway so I use Supersoft for comp days and my "store" of soft feels for general play. I'm not a long hitter but definitely gain 10 yards on irons with the supersoft, more with the big dog. Chrome soft "feels" hard to me now. I must try out Srixon's Ultisoft.
Been a big fan of the Taylormade balls over the last couple years. Penta TP3 has been my favourite so far but I havnt had a chance to try the new TP5 range yet.
I bought a dozen of supersoft but had problems getting a feel for them at the greens!
Great job. More videos like this.
I use Supersoft!...and I love it....Being a high handicapper I don't find the other 2 worth twice the price!.....Supersoft is an amazing ball for the price!...Cheers Rick!
Loved this video. Do you think that you could, in the future, do a review of the Callaway Super Hybrid and the Callaway Apex 21 hybrid?
super soft feels awesome around the greens and putting. feels way less wild off the tee as well.
Rick, I recently played some supersofts and found I liked the feel on all my shots. I had good stopping power on the greens but the greens were soft and forgiving that day. I have never hit a Titleist ball I did not like. Rick Shiels Golf What is your favorite ball of all time for soft feel and performance?
I enjoy playing the Truvis chromesoft, I think they are fun and I do notice that the chromesofts stick greens much better than the cheaper balls
Excellent test, Rick. Please do more ball tests.
