text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegolfshoponline.co.uk\/golf-balls\/\">golf ball<\/a> is one of the most impactful &#8211; and often overlooked &#8211; decisions a golfer can make. The ball is the one piece of equipment that touches every single shot, from a booming driver off the first tee to a delicate chip onto the 18th green. Yet many golfers simply grab the nearest pack on the shelf without considering whether the ball actually suits their swing speed, playing style, or priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Two balls that consistently appear at the top of the &#8220;soft feel&#8221; category are the <strong>Srixon Soft Feel<\/strong> and the <strong>Callaway Super Soft<\/strong>. Both promise exceptional softness, easy distance, and accessible performance for a wide range of golfers &#8211; particularly those with moderate swing speeds or anyone transitioning away from harder, two-piece distance balls. They are frequently recommended together, with many golfers genuinely unsure which to choose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 40px; color: #398100;\"><div id=\"gso-widget-6a109aebd2673\" class=\"gso-widget-outer\">Loading widget...<\/div><script>loadGSOwidget(370, 'gso-widget-6a109aebd2673');<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In this detailed comparison, our PGA professional team at The Golf Shop Online breaks down every dimension that matters: core technology, feel off the face, distance performance, greenside control, durability, and value for money.

The data is clear: most amateur golfers do not generate enough clubhead speed to compress a firm ball effectively, meaning a softer option genuinely adds yards and improves feel, rather than simply providing a marketing benefit. Both the Srixon Soft Feel and the Callaway Super Soft were engineered specifically with this golfer in mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SRIXON SOFT FEEL SECTION --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"srixon-soft-feel\" style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 2em; border-bottom: 3px solid #398100; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 50px;\">Srixon Soft Feel Golf Ball Review<\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 30px 0;\"><img style=\"max-width: 400px; width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegolfshoponline.co.uk\/assets\/images\/productimages\/original\/583A804E-E279-754C-69234110120C9943.jpg\" alt=\"Srixon Soft Feel Golf Ball\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The Srixon Soft Feel has earned a devoted following among golfers for one very simple reason: it does exactly what it says on the tin, and then some. Priced at just <strong>\u00a319.95 per dozen<\/strong>, this two-piece ball represents arguably the best value for money in the entire soft-feel category. With a perfect 5.0-star average from 20 verified buyers at The Golf Shop Online, it is the highest-rated ball in this comparison.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 1.5em; margin-top: 30px;\">Design Philosophy<\/h3>\n<p>Srixon has built the Soft Feel around their Soft E.G.G. (Elastic Golf Gradient) Core technology. Unlike traditional uniform-density cores, the Soft E.G.G. Core is engineered with a gradient structure &#8211; softer at the centre, gradually firming towards the outer layer. This design achieves two goals simultaneously: it creates an exceptionally soft feel at impact while maintaining efficient energy transfer to maximise ball speed. The result is a ball that feels pillowy off the putter face and irons, yet delivers genuinely competitive distance off the tee.<\/p>\n<p>The 338-speed dimple pattern is another standout feature. Srixon&#8217;s aerodynamic research produced a dimple design that reduces drag during the initial ball flight phase while increasing lift during the descent, creating a penetrating, stable trajectory that holds its line well in wind. For club golfers who often struggle with wayward shots in breezy conditions, this is a tangible on-course benefit.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 1.5em; margin-top: 30px;\">Key Features<\/h3>\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr)); gap: 20px; margin: 25px 0;\">\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Soft E.G.G.

Callaway has invested heavily in making this ball as approachable as possible for the widest possible audience. With the <strong>HyperElastic SoftFast Core<\/strong> and <strong>Hybrid Cover<\/strong>, the Super Soft delivers a combination of long, straight distance and a genuinely plush feel that few competitors match at this price point. At <strong>\u00a324.95 per dozen<\/strong>, it sits just above the Srixon in price but brings its own technology to the table.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 1.5em; margin-top: 30px;\">Design Philosophy<\/h3>\n<p>Callaway&#8217;s approach with the Super Soft is built around extreme softness as the primary design objective. The HyperElastic SoftFast Core is one of the lowest-compression cores Callaway produces, specifically tuned to maximise ball speed for golfers who swing the driver at under 95mph. Callaway&#8217;s research showed that these players were losing yards with firmer, higher-compression balls &#8211; the Super Soft was engineered to solve that problem directly.<\/p>\n<p>The Hybrid Cover is a proprietary blend of materials that sits between a traditional ionomer and a softer thermoplastic elastomer. This gives the Super Soft a noticeably different feel compared to a conventional two-piece ionomer ball &#8211; slightly more responsive on chip shots and with a touch more click off the putter face.

meaning each round costs approximately \u00a34.99 in ball costs.

Here is a plain-English guide to the key technologies featured across both balls in this comparison.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">What is Ball Compression?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Compression refers to how much a golf ball deforms at impact. Low-compression balls (rating under 70) squash more easily, which means slower swing speeds can still generate good energy transfer and distance. High-compression balls (over 90) are designed for faster swingers who need the ball to resist deformation until maximum energy is stored. Both the Srixon Soft Feel (compression 60) and the Callaway Super Soft (approximately 38) are low-compression options, making them ideal for the majority of club golfers who swing the driver at under 95mph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Two-Piece vs Multi-Layer Construction<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">A two-piece ball consists of a single core surrounded by a cover. This simple construction allows manufacturers to optimise distance and durability &#8211; the two things most club golfers want most. Multi-layer balls (three-piece and above) add a mantle layer or multiple layers between core and cover, enabling greater spin separation: lower spin off the driver for distance, higher spin on wedge shots for control. The Srixon Soft Feel and Callaway Super Soft are both two-piece balls, which are the right choice for mid-to-high handicappers prioritising distance and consistency over tour-level spin performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Ionomer vs Urethane vs Hybrid Covers<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Ionomer covers (used on the Srixon Soft Feel) are hard and durable, providing excellent scuff resistance. They generate less spin on short-game shots but are ideal for golfers who want a ball that lasts several rounds without significant cosmetic damage. Urethane covers (found on premium balls like the <a style=\"color: #398100; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegolfshoponline.co.uk\/titleist\/balls\/\">Titleist Pro V1<\/a>) are softer and grip the clubface grooves more effectively for maximum spin on wedge shots &#8211; but are more expensive and less durable. Callaway&#8217;s Hybrid Cover on the Super Soft sits between these two options, offering a slightly softer touch than pure ionomer while maintaining reasonable durability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; margin: 15px 0;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Dimple Aerodynamics<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The dimples on a golf ball are not merely decorative &#8211; they are precision-engineered aerodynamic features that govern flight. A smooth ball would fly roughly half as far as a dimpled one due to laminar airflow separation. Dimples create turbulent airflow near the ball&#8217;s surface, delaying the point at which airflow separates and reducing drag while dramatically increasing lift. Srixon&#8217;s 338-speed dimple pattern and Callaway&#8217;s HEX system are both designed to produce a stable, penetrating flight that holds its line in wind &#8211; a critical feature for UK golfers playing in changeable conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- BUYING GUIDE --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"buying-guide\" style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 2em; border-bottom: 3px solid #398100; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 50px;\">Buying Guide: Which Ball is Right for You?<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing between the Srixon Soft Feel and the Callaway Super Soft ultimately comes down to a few key factors.

Both balls deliver on these fronts admirably. However, the Srixon Soft Feel&#8217;s suitability for &#8220;all swing speeds&#8221; means it grows with the player as they improve and their swing speed naturally increases with practice. The Callaway Super Soft&#8217;s ultra-low compression is ideal specifically for the slowest swing speeds, which means a younger beginner who develops a faster swing may eventually outgrow it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The Srixon also costs \u00a35 less per dozen &#8211; a meaningful saving for beginners who may lose several balls per round while learning course management. For seniors or those with notably slow swing speeds, the Callaway Super Soft is the preferred recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">What is the difference in compression between these two balls?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>The Srixon Soft Feel has a compression rating of 60, while the Callaway Super Soft is approximately 38<\/strong>, making it one of the lowest-compression balls on the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">In practical terms, this means the Callaway Super Soft will feel noticeably squashier at impact and may add a few extra yards for the very slowest swingers (under 75mph driver speed) who simply cannot compress even a 60-compression ball fully. For golfers swinging above 80mph, the difference becomes negligible &#8211; both balls will compress adequately and deliver comparable distance. The Srixon&#8217;s slightly higher compression of 60 means it retains a bit more energy for faster swingers, making it the more versatile option across a wider range of players.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">In summary, the Callaway is softer for the slowest swingers, but the Srixon is the better all-rounder for most club golfers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">How many balls do I get in a box, and are multi-buy deals available?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Both the Srixon Soft Feel and Callaway Super Soft are sold as a standard dozen (12 balls) as the headline price.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">At The Golf Shop Online, the Srixon Soft Feel benefits from great multi-buy offers &#8211; including a popular 4-for-3 deal that brings the effective cost per dozen down even further, making it an exceptional proposition for regular golfers. The Callaway Super Soft is also available in single dozens and occasionally in multi-pack offers. We always recommend checking the current promotions page on our website, as offers change regularly. Free UK standard delivery applies to both products, meaning there are no hidden costs at checkout. Call us on <strong>0800 3681097<\/strong> for the latest multi-buy pricing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Can faster swingers (over 95mph) use either of these balls effectively?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Faster swingers can use both balls<\/strong>, but they will perform differently than they do for moderate-speed players.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">At swing speeds above 95-100mph, a low-compression ball can actually generate slightly higher spin than optimal off the driver, potentially reducing carry distance compared to a firmer ball. The Srixon Soft Feel&#8217;s 60 compression makes it better suited to faster swingers than the Callaway Super Soft&#8217;s ultra-low 38 compression.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">However, both balls will still be perfectly playable &#8211; the distance difference for a 100mph swinger between a 60-compression and a 90-compression ball is typically only 5-10 yards, which most amateur golfers would never notice. If you swing above 100mph regularly and want to maximise driver distance, consider stepping up to the <a style=\"color: #398100; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegolfshoponline.co.uk\/titleist\/balls\/\">Titleist Pro V1<\/a> or exploring Srixon&#8217;s Z-Star range.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Are these golf balls approved for competition play?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Yes, both the Srixon Soft Feel and the Callaway Super Soft are fully approved for competition play<\/strong> under the Rules of Golf.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Both balls appear on the conforming ball list maintained by <a style=\"color: #398100; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randa.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The R&amp;A<\/a>, which is the governing body for golf outside the United States and Mexico.

All products sold by The Golf Shop Online are genuine, authorised goods &#8211; we do not stock counterfeit or non-conforming equipment. If you are ever in doubt about whether a specific ball is approved for a particular competition, it is worth checking with your club secretary or consulting The R&amp;A&#8217;s conforming equipment lists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">How long do these balls last compared to premium urethane options?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #f0f7ff; border-left: 5px solid #398100; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong>Both balls offer excellent durability thanks to their ionomer and hybrid cover materials<\/strong>, which are significantly more scuff-resistant than urethane-covered premium balls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Urethane balls like the Titleist Pro V1 or TaylorMade TP5 feel wonderful but can show visible scuff marks after a bunker session or cart path contact. Ionomer and hybrid covers resist this kind of cosmetic damage far better, meaning a Srixon Soft Feel or Callaway Super Soft can last several rounds before showing significant wear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">The Srixon Soft Feel&#8217;s ionomer cover is particularly robust &#8211; multiple customer reviews reference its durability as a specific positive. The practical implication is that for the same budget, you get more rounds of play from either of these balls compared to a high-end urethane option. This further reinforces the outstanding value proposition of both choices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- WHY BUY FROM TGSO --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-tgso\" style=\"color: #398100; font-size: 2em; border-bottom: 3px solid #398100; padding-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 50px;\">Why Purchase Your Golf Balls from The Golf Shop Online?<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin: 25px 0; text-align: center;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">Award-Winning Service Since 2002<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; margin-top: 10px;\"><strong>Average Rating: 4.9 out of 5.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 15px;\"><strong>29,000+ Total Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 5px;\">8,000+ on Reviews.co.uk \u2022 6,000+ on Trustpilot \u2022 15,000+ on Google<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 15px;\">Led by PGA professional <strong>Mark Crossfield<\/strong>, with over 330 million YouTube views<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr)); gap: 15px; margin: 25px 0;\">\n<div style=\"background: white; border: 2px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100; margin-top: 0;\">60-Day No Quibble Returns<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Buy your golf balls with complete confidence.

At \u00a319.95 per dozen &#8211; \u00a35 less than the Callaway Super Soft &#8211; it represents exceptional value without any compromise in performance.<\/p>\n<p>The Soft E.G.G. Core delivers a genuinely plush feel on every shot, the 338-speed dimple pattern provides excellent wind resistance, and its suitability for all swing speeds means it works for a far wider range of golfers than most soft balls. Customer David Grey captures it perfectly: &#8220;Premium feel and performance for a currently great price.&#8221; If you are looking for a soft ball that punches well above its price tag, the Srixon Soft Feel is your answer.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">Callaway Super Soft &#8211; A Strong Runner-Up<\/h4>\n<p>It would be unfair to characterise the Callaway Super Soft as anything less than an excellent golf ball. Its 4.7-star average from 13 verified buyers is still a superb score, and its global popularity among millions of golfers speaks to its genuine quality. Where it wins outright is for golfers with the very slowest swing speeds &#8211; its ultra-low compression of approximately 38 is specifically engineered to maximise distance for players swinging under 80mph, a group for whom even the Srixon&#8217;s 60 compression may still feel a little firm.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a senior golfer or someone with a naturally slower, tempo-based swing, the Callaway Super Soft deserves serious consideration. At \u00a324.95 per dozen, it is not significantly more expensive, and the brand&#8217;s engineering expertise is evident in every dimension of performance.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #398100;\">The Bottom Line<\/h4>\n<p>For the vast majority of golfers &#8211; mid-to-high handicappers, club competitors, and recreational players of all ages &#8211; the <strong>Srixon Soft Feel at \u00a319.95<\/strong> is the better overall value and our recommended choice. It delivers everything a soft ball should: distance, feel, durability, and straight flight, all at a price that makes stocking up on a season&#8217;s supply genuinely affordable. The Callaway Super Soft remains a worthy alternative, particularly for the slowest-speed players, and no golfer would be disappointed choosing either option.
