I wouldn’t know. I don’t play any.

What do you like about the SuperSoft?

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.  

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. 

Thanks, I didnt know about these new models.

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..      

It is what it is

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.

    • Ass clown status? I have a lifetime exemption.
    • Dude, if you don't pull driver on every non-par-3, you are going to lose your ass clown status. 
    • Fair enough. You could be right.  Although, Cam Smith, to his credit, admitted it. His quote was something to the effect of "LIV Golf ruined my game. I have no drive what so ever to practice." I'm paraphrasing a little, but that was basically what he said. 
    • Okay, I gave this a try today.  Just for clarity sake I used a "Spin-the-wheel" picker ap on my phone to choose which order to do the distances. Then I used my Voice Caddie SC4, which I think is pretty good. Lastly, I used carry distance not total distance. I finished 9 over par.  The very first number generated by the ap was 125. Which I hit to 123 and made a birdie. I was like "This is going to be easy." Then I got the 160 which I hit to 171 and went from 1 under to 1 over just like that.  90 yards - par 95 yards - par 100 yards - par 105 yards - bogey 110 yards - par 115 yards - double 120 yards - par 125 yards - birdie 130 yards - par 135 yards - bogey 140 yards - double 145 yards - bogey 150 yards - par 155 yards - birdie 160 yards - double  165 yards - bogey 170 yards - bogey 175 yards - par Overall a fun little game. If you have an SC4 it will let you enter in a distance as a target and record your distance for you. Then once the picker ap tells you you've done all the distances you simply add up your score off the SC4 ap. Easy-peasy.  BTW - It was hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut out there today. 
    • On Saturday I played a short (~5900yds) but narrow course that has some quirky holes and very mature trees. Shot a 34-34 for a 68 on a par 71 which tied my lowest score relative to par at -3 (all time lowest round is a 67 on a par 70) and set my new record for most birdies in a round with 6.  That included a penalty stroke bogey on a par 5 and another sloppy bogey from 125 in the middle of the fairway. Hit a wedge from 110 to a foot on a par 4 and a knockdown flighted 9 iron from 140 to 2 feet on a par 3 for easy birdies. Add in driving it greenside on a par 4 and a couple tap in birdies on par 5s and it was a good day. Also helps that I made every putt inside 10 feet and only ended up with 27 putts for the round.  This is the SG compared to scratch and that includes losing 1.01 strokes approach on the 1st hole when I sliced a 5 iron into a hazard.
