I will be honest with you, I do not know too much about this golf ball. Yes, it is in the Titleist lineup, which is already a plus. However, the previous version I reviewed did not leave a lasting impression. All I can tell you is I remember the unique putting alignment. So, I am hoping the 2024 Titleist Tour Soft golf ball review is going to leave a mark.

Apparently, some industry experts find this ball to be one (if not the) most underrated golf balls on the market. Again, I can’t confirm or deny due to my lack of memory from the last review. Hopefully, now that I have reviewed a few more balls since then, I will notice more things to tell you. Keep reading and discover how good this ball was on the course.

My Verdict

Don’t get me wrong—this is a quality golf ball for its class. But I will say it might be slightly overhyped. I am not telling you this from a performance perspective. The ball does what it is supposed to do. However, if you read only what Titleist says on its website, you would expect it to make you look like Tiger Woods in his prime.

The price could be a bit lower since some balls cost about the same and can offer you more. This is my opinion and my opinion only. Without a question, it has a targeted audience. Again, this is a very solid ball, and that should be all that matters.

On the Green

This time, I will start with my putting performance. The ball, on a few occasions, made miracles and dropped into the hole when I least expected it. On the other side, I did manage to end up with a couple of three-putts, so that was not great. We can say it was a mixed bag.

Now, the feel off the putter face was decent, not hard, but not too soft. Ok, I will say it was soft enough. It does not have that classic low-compression ball feel to it. But this one is not quite in that category, it is at the bottom of mid-compressed balls. The putting experience was decent.

Around the Green

Here is where I lost the soft feel a bit, but not in a bad way. By feeling the ball a touch more on chips, I got better feedback. To make it clear, it did not feel hard, but again, it was not as soft as the lower-compressed two-piece balls.

When it comes to performance, it did an ok job. It produced more greenside spin than a typical “soft” golf ball. That should be no surprise, since it has a higher compression rating than balls in the “soft” category. My go-to chip shots worked well for the most part. A few times, it left me a close-range putt to finish off the hole.

On softer chips with a slightly higher trajectory, it would land softly. Unfortunately, I did not adjust to those, and every time it left me a longer putt. Chipping was not too bad for a two-piece “soft” ball.

Approach Shots

Honestly, the more I test golf balls for reviews, the more I enjoy striking them. There was no difference with this one. On the first few shots, I thought to myself, it feels soft off the clubface. Sure enough, it did, on every shot I did not manipulate and struck it properly.

Now we come to manipulated shots. The more I manipulated shots, the more the sound changed. To be fair, that is not so weird. However, it sounded quite different every time I lowered the flight trajectory. On those shots, I was hearing more of a click than the muted sound. Also, some of those shots were half and three-quarter swings.

Distance-wise, this ball went far enough. I was able to reach all my usual distances. Even on those half and three-quarter shots, it went a reasonable distance. The flight trajectory was mid, and I had no problem lowering it when needed. I have noticed it did not go as high as some other models when I needed it to. That is fine, since it is built to have a more penetrating flight.

What I liked a lot was the straight flight. Even when I tried to curve it a bit, I only got a mini draw. That is good for everyone who does not shape shots.

Just a reminder, I test golf balls on a par 3 course, so every shot is an approach shot. For this part, I can say the distance was its strong suit, but control was not the best, as expected.

Durability

I tend to praise golf balls for their durability, and sometimes I might over-praise them. However, there is no exaggeration here when I say this ball showed amazing durability.

Usually, there are at least 2 to 3 spots on balls with visible damage. This ball has one, and I inserted another less prominent one, and that’s it. Granted, there is a barely visible yellow mark from glazing a branch, but that is all. I had to look a few times to make sure I did not miss anything, and I didn’t.

Durability places it among the most durable golf balls I have tested and reviewed so far.

Appearance and Price

A Titleist ball looks like a Titleist ball, nice and clean. Nonetheless, this one has something I am not the biggest fan of. I don’t like the putting alignment design. That is odd for someone like me, who uses that aid on the green. But I don’t like this design. It does look a bit nicer than the previous one, but still not nice enough for me.

Now, the price of $39.99 places this two-piece ionomer ball in the elite two-piece golf ball category. I mean, that is a steep price. Titleist says, based on performance, it competes with non-tour three-piece urethane balls, but still. Again, durability could kinda justify it, although I am sure it has its audience. It is available in white, yellow, and green colors.
