The Srixon Soft Feel has a compression of 60 and like most balls at this level, it suits mid to slow driver swing speeds of around 90mph or less as the softer core enables those players to get better spin and distance numbers than they would get with a firmer golf ball.

Soft golf balls They are designed to provide players with an enhanced feel and softness around the green. Soft golf balls are typically made with higher compression cores that generate more spin off the clubface, resulting in a higher launch, greater ball control, and more overall distance.

If you struggle to get distance off the tee box or even in the fairway, you'll want to prioritize a ball with a low compression rating. Low-compression balls are also recommended for players with slow swing speeds because they compress at lower speeds, meaning they translate more of that energy into distance.

However, most golfers say they see less distance and less spin from a range ball than a regular ball. This is because of the thicker cover and the biggest difference between range and regular balls: the feel. Range balls feel harder than a regular ball when struck, making it harder to spin the ball.

Srixon® is a young brand created in 2001 by the Sumitomo Rubber Industries group, a company that has been manufacturing golf and tennis balls since 1930 under the Dunlop®, Maxfli® and Tour Special® brands, and golf clubs since 1964. It is the company that has filed the most patents in the golf industry.

In 2005, the distribution arm's own brand was created with the Srixon Z-UR golf ball. Two years later, SRI acquired North American golf club manufacturer Cleveland Golf Company. In the intervening years, SRI has built Cleveland Golf and Srixon Golf as its international flagship badges.
