WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW? Now in its 13th iteration, the Srixon Soft Feel is one of the most revered ball models in the game. Its soft feel pairs with more than enough distance at an attractive price point to make it a viable option for a number of golfers willing to sacrifice a little greenside spin for a soft-feeling ball that can save you a few bucks.
PRICE/Availability. Srixon Soft Feel is priced at $23 per dozen. Available in stores from February 16.
1. In the center of things. The reason why Srixon says it can provide a soft feel while providing plenty of distance is due to what the company calls its FastLayer core. This technology allows the core to be extremely soft in the center and progressively firmer as you move closer to the perimeter.
Another advantage of the technology is that while the core is one of its softest to date, it is also very flexible, forming faster after impact to provide more distance while reducing long spins.
2. They’ve got you covered. For the cover, Srixon continues to use its 338 groove pattern, designed to create a lower drag coefficient. This allows the ball to cut through the air with less drag, allowing for a penetrating launch, while maintaining reduced ball speed for extra carry.
While low compression can affect greenside spin, it’s usually less of a factor than cover thickness and softness, leading Srixon to create a thin, soft cover for this ball that offers enough attractive chips and pitches to be useful. for:
3. Color it. Two additional Soft Feel variants include Soft Feel Lady and Soft Feel Brite. The standard Soft Feel is available in white and yellow, while the Lady model is available in white and pink. The Brite model comes in Matte Red, Matte Orange, and Matte Green.
