Callaway Supersoft Golf Ball Review |2024|

[@richardjacobs7632]

This ball is played by a number of folks in my social club! Low swing speed test show it the longest ball, but getting it stopped is the problem except that it launches high. Good review Nick. Thanks

[@GolfBallAddict]

Anytime. Thank you so much for watching and commenting

[@upclosegolf]

I agree having played it. I think the control around the green was ok for me but that’s not a strong part of my game 🏌️‍♂️👍

[@carpykeith]

My wife’s favourite golf ball! She has R.A. but is still determined to play but her strength and swing speed have dropped! She used a few before this but loves her orange Supersofts! The launch, flight & extra distance help and she doesn’t have enough speed to check up a ball so not an issue!

[@GolfBallAddict]

Has she tried the Reva or the max? I had much better numbers. Also, my mom loves the Reva and she will putt with the supersoft

[@jerrysilverstein4055]

Nick I'm 73 and a slower swing speed, close to 80, testing Legato and Wright and Ditson. Both excellent distance good around the green and real good height. I got both on sale for 23 dollars a dozen. Also checking out Vice pro plus.

[@carpykeith]

@@GolfBallAddict 👍🏼I’ll suggest it BUT the last time I suggested replacing it, I nearly got my head handed to me!

[@marybetheby5184]

I've gotten addicted to playing Supersoft 5 years ago after finding one and giving it a shot It's so good for my game. I've gotten used to it not spinning back on the greens and have adjusted my game to accommodate that They are long and straight for me to where I'm at points close to the green that I've never been with other balls Whenever I hit any other ball I just think yuck..and I hope they never stop making them. I'm stocked up like crazy. Love the vids.😎👍

[@GolfBallAddict]

Thank you so much for taking the time to show your feedback and for the positive words. Thanks so much 🥳

[@upclosegolf]

I tested and cut open this ball recently and it’s now one of my favourite golf balls, seems to suit my swing speed and I love the feel. Great video! 👍🏌️‍♂️

[@GolfBallAddict]

Thank you very much. Appreciate the love good sir😃

[@randygibsongolf4618]

I played this a bit last year, but I really like the new taylormade speedsoft has good distance and is actually good around the greens. I'm starting to get to the point it may be beneficial to play a premium ball, but information like this helps find good balls for a better price.

[@GolfBallAddict]

Great way to look at it. I'm glad you also mentioned the speedsoft. There has been so much positive feedback about that ball from everybody. I've yet to find anyone who doesn't like it

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

The super soft doesn’t stop on the greens, it just keeps on bouncing and bouncing and bouncing!!!!

[@GolfBallAddict]

That was my findings as well. Lots of bounce to the ounce

[@BruceOglevie]

Thanks for the updated review. Was hoping for more spin ( any spin actually ) around the greens to move to this as my 2 piece option. Seems like an overall good ball, but not in the same league with the Snell Get Sum for sure. Still hoping for a review on the Hex Soft soon.

[@GolfBallAddict]

Very soon. I just received another sleeve, so it's time to test

[@zackfishman3245]

Thank you for this review. You could tell the same story in 3 minutes. Twenty minutes is a big ask for us viewers.

[@GolfBallAddict]

Thank you for watching and the feedback. Unfortunately I disagree. When I first started the channel I had people complaining about the 15 minute reviews, I was able to shorten it to 9 minutes but then I had massive complaints about all the detailed information I was leaving out. So now we're back to 20. It's a dual edged sword

TM tour response is fantastic for slow to medium swing speeds plus it stops on the green!

[@GolfBallAddict]

I would still advise slower swingers to take a different route, but mid swingers absolutely I agree with you

[@calebm2161]

I just have become enamored with your channel. Being a golf ball nerd it has been so enlightening seeing these reviews. I have a higher swing speed than you, but I'm still able to gather the right information. Glad you're calling it like it is and not just saying good things because it's a "big brand" name. Now how do I get my Pop to quit playing the Super Soft? 🤔🤔

[@GolfBallAddict]

That's awesome. Thank you so much for all the watching and commenting you've been doing. It's helping the channel grow to new heights. The more the channel grows, the more time I can spend on it and have more reviews. I would let him try the speed soft from TaylorMade this year. A very similar ball but I had way better results

[@PJae00]

Hey, love the channel. I have a request. Is there any way you can add a golf balls compression rating to your reviews? Some believe compression isn’t really a factor but I can definitely tell the difference in performance. Thanks for all the content. Keep it up. I’m also waiting on a review for the Spalding SD Tour. I know you said you didn’t like it and even broke one, but I have had a great experience

[@GolfBallAddict]

If I can actually find the compression number I will gladly do so. So many companies don't even advertise it anymore. And I don't have a way to test it It's not that I didn't like the Spalding, just never have been able to fully test it

[@stevenszyper3916]

I used to play these during winter play but I switched to the Wilson Duos for winter now.... Closer to compression but more durable....

[@GolfBallAddict]

The Wilson duos are incredible for cold weather. That super low compression really speeds up when the temperature drops

[@davidwalters313]

Great review. I have found a couple of Taylormade RBZ soft balls. They seem to be quite a long ball and good round the greens. For the average golfer (10-13 handicap) are they a good choice? Thanks!

[@GolfBallAddict]

I haven't had the chance to test them yet, but are these golf balls even still readily available? I never see them in stores or anything

[@davidwalters313]

@@GolfBallAddictcertainly available on Amazon and ebay. I live in the UK - would that make a difference?

[@GONADSable]

RBZ are great balls

[@jerekilpinen6758]

Got few supersofts from work with company logo as a gift. Biggest issue with this for me is I can't trust my short iron lengths. Sometimes ball fires off from the face and shot can be 10-15 yards longer than normal.

[@GolfBallAddict]

I believe that 100 percent. The disparity between shots wasn't as good as I would have hoped

[@user-oo9zf1hx6n]

You give your honest opinion from hitting so many different golf balls. You can't please everyone. Their opinions will vary. It's not a bad ball but there are others to choose from. In my opinion, a good honest review as usual.

[@nickmillar9651]

I got a dozen of the speedsoft TM. I like that ball a lot

[@GolfBallAddict]

I was super impressed for a golf ball of that type. I think it's better than the super soft

[@nickmillar9651]

@@GolfBallAddict Yeah. I like better than the pro 1 and the Pxg. But I’m not a pro 1 fan

[@jonbuikema7399]

As I expected. Good review. Improvements made but better options are out there. Too many related feel to spin. Not so. Soft is not spin. Esp. around the greens short shot and chips. One can develop consistency but IMO that is easier to do with a better spin option ball.

[@GolfBallAddict]

I definitely have tested way worse balls. But I've also tested better. Falls in the middle for me

[@jeremy08410]

I game this ball in the matte green. Love the way it feels through the bag. Not my favorite for putting. I’ve been looking for something with a little more stopping power as my game has improved. I ordered a dozen of the Vice Air in the neon green after watching your review on it. I keep coming back to the Supersofts though. We will see how the Vice Air performs soon.

[@Medevah]

Snell 2.0 would also be a great ball for you to try.

[@GolfBallAddict]

Please let me know how you like the air once you start playing it. It's been a great ball and the feedback from other viewers has been awesome as well

[@jeremy08410]

@@GolfBallAddict played a few holes with both. Was not having a good round so more testing is needed. But from what I could tell when I hit it well it was a great ball, but when I didn’t it did me dirty. The forgiveness is much less than the Supersoft, but I’m getting to the point in my game I need a little more feedback. Didn’t have a good shot into the green to test stopping power, but short chips and putts felt great. I was a little longer off the tee by a few yards as well. More testing is needed, but it’s the first ball I’ve tried in a while that I felt like I wanted to keep trying.

[@pdoty13]

What’s a good budget ball for good green side spin? I want something that checks up good. Also, love the hat, I played the wedge at Cabot Citrus and loved it.

[@GolfBallAddict]

Thank you very much. I work there so that means a lot. There are a quite of budget three-piece balls such as the legato, the vice line, and even more recently the wright and ditson

[@Medevah]

Callaway has clearly went with a firm core and soft cover, whereas TM went the other way. Long response ahead. As far as spin goes, it’s all about club head speed. At 50 yards, I have several options: near full 60, three-quarter 54, pitch 48. As the club head and angle get lower, so will the spin. I’d hit the 60 if I needed to approach a pin close to the leading edge, a 54 if it’s somewhere in the middle, and the 48 if I want it to run to the back. If the ball compresses well on wedges, you will invariably reduce club head speed to compensate, thus reducing spin. Pro tip from a non-pro: never select a ball and compression on the driver speed and feel. 7 or 6 iron is where you want the sweet spot. You want your ball to force you to stay quick on your short game shots. For me, that number is 90-95. For everyone else, it’s different. My point here is that for $25 per dozen, there are FAR better options, unless your driver speed is in the low to mid-80 MPH range.

[@skyemac8]

You know it’s a soft ball … why all the blab about your swing speed? Higher compression for faster swings. Nothing new.

[@Medevah]

@@skyemac8 True, but where is the compression? Cover vs. core compression makes a HUGE difference. The blab about swing speed is to remind folks to not judge a ball on wedge performance.

[@GolfBallAddict]

You are very knowledgeable about golf balls. Bravo sir. There's definitely more layers in the Glass Onion to peel back other than compression.

[@tjnaevans]

The reality is for less money you can play a better quality ball It sports a 3 piece construction (in lieu of the CSS 2 layers) and fabulous feel around the greens without giving up distance...All hail the Maxfli Tour!

I haven't had a chance to test that ball yet but I've had plenty of people tell me it's amazing. I'll be testing it soon for sure

[@enzy6434]

It's a decent ball to play for slower swing speeds outside of 100 yards. But inside 100 yards it's a disaster pretty much. You're basically forced to play bump and run shots, can't use spin. And good luck trying to get it to stop out of a bunker.

[@GolfBallAddict]

That's one of the issues with having zero spin.

[@brodyboylan3244]

Would you recommend this ball over the maxfli softfli?

How is the super soft campaired to the speedsoft from taylormade

[@GolfBallAddict]

I had way better results with the speedsoft.

[@fuzzybanana9128]

Couple quick things. Please quit talking about overcompressing, you arent. Im a 9 and would be a 2-4 if i ever practiced or played more than once every week or two. I just played them last rnd because of all the reviews and had zero issues. I hit my 50 degree further than your 9. Not a knock just showing i hit much harder/faster than you and had zero issues. I butchered 2 holes and still shot 80. My review. Decent length, fairly straight Good iron spin Very consistent Great putting Nice feel but kinda dead Now the elephant…greenside spin. I could get it to check no problem but it had to be a perfect little nip. Anything less it does lack. Very consistent ball. As someone who has also tested a ton of balls last 3 yrs i massively disagree with your top 50 assesment, its far better than that. Its not a ball for me but its a good ball.

[@GolfBallAddict]

You are fair to disagree friend.

[@petrotmyrcz308]

Thanks Nick. Based upon your findings, I'm not even going to try this ball.

Not a problem at all. I don't blame you. It's a very select market

Brought a dozen and the 1st sleeve was ok then the rest had a sticky feel.Tried washing in Dawn with no effect. Tried white vinegar & baking soda and still sticky. What to do?

[@GolfBallAddict]

That sticky is by design. They put a little extra stick on it to help grip the green a little bit. It's becoming more common with budget balls

[@MMcG25]

What are some other balls that perform better - can you list a few of your top three to five?

[@michaelblum3973]

I am haunted by your comments regarding golf ball forgiveness, specifically related to the vice pro/vice air. That is a compliment. If I didn't trust your opinion, I wouldn't care what you said. So that leaves me wondering, do I want a ball that's more consistent or do I want better shots when I make better contact?

[@GolfBallAddict]

That's a question I think every golfer needs to ask themselves. The thing is though, not every ball that lacks forgiveness will give you better on pure strikes. Also, it really throws your game off when an average strike goes 150, a pure strike goes 165, and a miss hit goes 140. Consistency is king for me

[@Kizinky]

any alternative "super Soft" balls i can recommend my wife to try instead? she only cares about the matte pink callaway supersofts unfortunately.

[@GolfBallAddict]

Honestly they could be good for her. My mom uses the super softs as well. Although I definitely recommend her trying the Reva for driver and iron shots. It's the equivalent of the max and honestly it's incredible how great the numbers were. My mom and I instantly saw better results than the super soft.

I have two issues with the Supersoft…..#1 it explodes too much of the club chipping around the green for me, can’t tame the distance…#2 it explodes off the putter, once again, can’t tame the distance. I realize, if I only played the supersoft, I would get used to it. Just not for me.

[@GolfBallAddict]

It has by far the most explosion around the green I've ever seen. Huge learning curve for sure

[@johnwilliams8580]

For those of us that enjoy this ball but are willing to try a different ball what would you recommend. Senior golfer with slower swing speed here..Thx

[@GolfBallAddict]

There's a few, but the first one I would try Is the Taylor made speed soft

[@Medevah]

If your skill level is higher, the Bridgestone BRX and BRXS would be high on my list. Both are around 65 compression, but both are tour level balls. Fred Couples plays the BRX.

[@bigdogpete43]

I can see buying them if you were down to the found TopFlites in your bag and you walk in the ProShop at the turn, boom, $25 out the door. Come to think of it, maybe just get a hotdog and a beer and play the TopFlites. You will find something on the back that is better.

[@GolfBallAddict]

LOL could almost get a steak dinner for that price

[@MarciaHaymer]

Like the old Callaway Diablo, a lot better, never got any distance with the soft

[@GolfBallAddict]

I've had some requests for the new Diablo to see how they test. Hopefully it's a little better than the last version cuz I wasn't a big fan either

[@ejd1149]

When I find one of these it goes in my wife's bag. For me this ball is horrible off the tee, especially in hot weather. You mentioned the matte colored ball had a different feed to the touch, and I noticed the same thing. I also thought the matte seemed even softer and mushy. This in my opinion is one of the worst balls on the market.

[@GolfBallAddict]

My mom really likes them. Definitely for the slower swinger crowd

[@richdouglas2311]

Point of concern: I know you like to present yourself as someone with a "normal" swing speed. But I don't think that's true. I think you're faster than most golfers. Why? Because THEY DON'T KNOW! They don't know how far they carry their clubs. They don't know their miss tendencies. And they certainly don't know things like swing speed, launch angle, etc. This internet thingy, as universal as we think it is, is just a bubble a lot of people live in. I believe that, if your driver swing speed is in the high 90s (like mine), you're going to overpower some balls that others love. Why? Because their swing speeds are much slower than they think. They fall in love with this ball because, for them, it's a mighty good fit and the softness is incredibly deceptive.. I've played earlier versions of this ball. It's softness is intoxicating. And (again) deceptive. It was so soft it made even badly missed shots feel pretty good off the face. But it can be deceptive. People who swing like you do (I'm only a little bit longer myself) would benefit from a 3-piece urethane ball right below tour-level. (TM Tour Response, Titleist AVX, Snell Prime 3.0, etc.) I subscribed to this channel because I thought you were relatively objective, thorough, and down-to-Earth in your expectations. I continue to get the impression I was right. This was a terrific video, one all golfers--even those not considering playing the SuperSoft--should watch. And a channel they should subscribe to.

[@GolfBallAddict]

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe. It means the world to me. The only reason I advertise as the average swing speed is because of a study done by golf digest. I have no idea what the parameters of their study was, but it shows that the average swing speed for a male in the world is 92 to 93 mph. I granted over the last couple years I've gone a little higher than that. So you could be right.

[@Pwrcritter]

Almost too soft. Seems to "spring" off of the putter face.

[@GolfBallAddict]

It's definitely hot

[@Gabe00723]

[@deangilles718]

@@GolfBallAddict I don't know but when I was fitted for a new driver last fall my swing speed was 80 mph and if I really tried to go fast it was 82 mph. I do out drive most of the guys that I have played on my senior league so I'm not convinced on that number.

[@kurtheitman552]

I bought some Superfast balls based on your recommendation. Complete trash. Unsubscribed and never coming back.

[@GolfBallAddict]

Well that's disappointing. For a couple of reasons. The first reason is that, you had a bad experience with the ball. It happens sometimes but I always hate it when it does. The other disappointing Factor is thinking that every time I recommend a golf ball every single person on Earth is going to have a wonderful experience with it. It just isn't the way it is. My channel is based on collecting data not only for the last 4 years but for the future so we can continue to learn more and more. The proper way to handle this would have been to just tell me your feedback and why you didn't like it so that way I have even more data in the future. Simply saying that you're going to unsubscribe and not come back I think kind of misses the point of the channel. I'm not trying to be mean in any way, like I said I definitely apologize for the experience being bad. But getting upset over a $30 a dozen golf ball seems a little bit of much don't you think?
