TaylorMade Soft Response Golf Balls

Product Information

I conjured up sufficient velocity to launch my ball consistently high and achieve satisfactory carry yardage off the tee.

The simple story behind the new TaylorMade Tour Response and Soft Response golf balls is that they’re made for you. The made for you thing comes from the fact that when TaylorMade asked golfers what features they want in a golf ball, the #1 answer was, “I want a golf ball that’s designed for me.” They’re no Pro V1, but they are among the best distance balls I’ve tried for mid-handicappers. The construction is more complex than a traditional distance ball like the Titleist Velocity, leading to increased spin and control. FeelI produced consistent ball speed results thanks to a more effective rebound off the clubface on high-impact strikes. Extended Flight Dimple Pattern

The feel of the Soft Response golf balls impressed me, considering my experience with other firmer, distance golf balls. It produced a pleasant sensation off the clubface and felt soft in the hand. Its squashy feel stems from its lower compression core and soft ionomer cover to boost spring off the clubface and spin around the green. Wedge SpinGiven their lower price point, both balls deliver good distance, stable flight and solid spin control spin on hitting the green. The reduced ball speed and higher spin levels led to less total length. However, I was content with the results, given their consistency. Distance

A softer golf ball is good for getting more feel off the clubface especially when it comes to hitting shots around the green, and when on it as well. In the past using a soft ball would've meant compromising on distance but this is not really the case anymore because of technology.

Originally working with the best coaches in the UK to produce instruction content, he has also presented many Golf Monthly videos looking at all areas of the game from Tour player interviews to the rules of golf. The Tour Response has a firm feel but in short game tests, it was hard to tell the difference between it and more premium models like the TP5 and TP5 X.

If you are looking for an all-out budget urethane golf ball, this one offers good performance, especially in the short game. Now, admittedly, the long game performance was not as good as others in this list, or other golf balls on the market, but we think, given the price, the value on offer here is excellent, so it's certainly one of the best cheap golf balls on the market. Sam is a member of North Hants Golf Club in Fleet, Hampshire, where he won the club championship 3 times in succession from 2015-2017. His golfing highlight to date is shooting a round of 10-under 60 at his home club, narrowly missing a wedge shot for a magical 59. Contrary to most distance balls, TaylorMade inserted a middle layer between the low compression core and the soft ionomer cover. An ionomer Speed Mantle Layer works tirelessly to increase energy transfer and ball speed while restricting spin. For high speed, high spin players, lower spinning soft balls can work really well because the distance gained from spin reduction can more than offset the speed penalty. Those same high spin players typically don’t have issues generating enough iron spin.

I feel it’s ideal for moderate swing speed golfers battling to get the ball airborne. However, the elevated flight prompted a steep descent that resulted in a rapid stop on long shots reducing my roll and total length. Soft Ionomer Cover

Ideally, I’d prefer a golf ball that spins lower and optimizes length. However, I welcomed the easy launching nature and consistent carry distance it produced. The heightened spin rate continued into the middle irons as I exceeded my 7-iron average of 6,000 rpm by 650 rpm. I noticed the increased spin rate enabled my ball to bite faster on approach, enhancing my control. I found the Tour Response to offer more short game control and while the Soft Response felt great on the wedge and putter, it released more on chip shots and doesn’t offer the same precision as expensive models like the TP5 and TP5x balls.
