I'm wondering if there's a general consensus on what non-urethane balls players prefer. I personally enjoy the Callaway supersoft and find quite a few of them littered around the course.

I wouldn’t know. I don’t play any.

What do you like about the SuperSoft?

Welcome to TST.   We're glad you've joined.   

I have played the Supersoft and come back around to it every so often.  I've decided this year though that once I run out of my "stash" of golf balls, I'm going exclusively yellow because they are so easy to see.   I like the way the Supersoft sounds and feels when putting.   I can't say it goes any farther or straighter but it sounds and feels right when putting.   

I also like the Titleist TruFeel for the same reason.   I like @ChetlovesMer's ball the Srixon Divide and the Bridgestone E12 Contact.   

I am going to try the new Snell balls when available.   I'm looking forward to testing them when they become available in yellow.

The super soft has a rather pleasing whizz sound when I shank it. However, I do prefer the violent path and trajectory of a urethane ball when properly shanked. There’s just nothing comparable.

The feel. If you're bouncing the balls on concrete, you can really feel the "softness".

LOL. Haven't these been discontinued for years?

The Srixon Divide is a beautiful looking ball. Reminds me of the old Ping balls. Snell makes some fantastic balls. They should be more popular.

They’ve got two new balls out, the Prime and Prime-X. I just got a sample pack. The Prime is the softer feel ball. Their price for value packs is back too.

Over the years, I've probably hit most of the balls available in this sort of price range. For the most part, I can't tell much of a difference between any of them.

This is one of the few exceptions. It really does have that quality. It's enough where I'll tend to go with Supersoft over other options if the price is more or less the same.

I like the Maxfli softfli or strightfli balls. That's partially because matte neon green is an easy color for me to see, but I've been happy with the performance and cost.

I use to play maxfli softfli /straightfli / speedfli , and when they first came out years ago the price was really good and the performance was tough to beat for that kind of ball..

I have recently switched to Titleist Velocity and really like it. Did an experiment the other day. Played both matte green and matte orange balls side by side. Both balls are very high visibility, but without a doubt for me the matte orange balls were the most visible a mile away.

Srixon Soft Feel

+1 but the white one. Acceptable distance, low spin, soft feel of course and low spin around the greens (yes, I hate ball that have medium to high spin).

I'm currently testing Callaway WarBird because is also a 2 piece ball but with 90 compression (soft feel is 60), give me a little more ball speed but a little more spin with driver.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
