I was looking forward to this. Why, you ask? Because the previous version was arguably the best two-piece low-compression ball I have ever tested. It was a solid all-rounder with consistent performance in every area of the game. The 2025 Srixon Soft Feel golf ball review will reveal if this version kept the standard or even improved.

Maybe that is the reason it might be a touch better performer across the board (at least for me). When a ball is a bit firmer, it will produce a bit more spin. This is mostly noticeable in the short game. Either way, enough with the intro. Let me tell you how the ball did on the course.

Who Is This Ball For?

To put it in a few words, it is for golfers who are looking for a soft feel, but don’t want to sacrifice performance too much. It is solid in all segments of the game, and that is something not too many balls in the category provide.

The putting feel is nice, and there is a decent amount of greenside spin. Plus, the mid to high flight trajectory allows you good landing angles with a decent stopping power and shot distance. Then, it is durable, so you are getting a very good value for money. Overall, I would recommend this ball to anyone considering it.

On the Green

Despite the ball’s slightly higher compression rate than the other soft balls, it felt nice and smooth. The sound produced when struck with the putter was mellow. This was the case for both short and long putts. I have enjoyed putting with this ball just for the feeling.

Now, the performance. My putting wasn’t the best when I tested it, but there was nothing wrong with the ball itself. It didn’t take me much to adjust to its pace. However, I did miss a few putts within 4 feet of the hole. I know, that’s unacceptable. On a couple of occasions, I left it too short, and maybe once it went too long. All good about the putting segment.

Around the Green

Oh boy, I chipped way more than usual this round. Which is good, since I got to experience how this ball behaves in different scenarios. So, like the previous version, this ball is a solid greenside performer. Trust me, I had to get creative at times.

For a low-compression ball, there is a fair amount of spin. Obviously, it is no comparison with premium balls, but in the soft ball category, it shines. If you read any of my other reviews, you know bump-and-runs are my go-to chips. They worked quite well, although I wasn’t getting too close to the hole. The sensation when connecting with the ball was simply enjoyable. Again, it was producing a mellow sound on contact.

Regarding higher trajectory chips, I was pleasantly surprised to see how softly it was landing on the greens. It rolled more after releasing than premium balls, but less than most soft balls. I would classify its greenside spin closer to mid than low. Chipping with this ball was not bad at all.

Approach Shots

When I test golf balls, I do it on par 3 courses, so every shot is an approach shot. I will break the shots into a few categories.

First, let’s start with well-connected shots. The feel on these was soft, and the strike itself felt nice. The flight trajectory was mid to high, which is what I expected. It was a bit more penetrating flight compared to some other soft balls. Distance-wise, it was long, but not the longest. The stopping power was good, and the ball would stop fairly soon after landing, even though the greens were firm.

Now, let’s move on to thin shots. The feel was not as nice with a more clicky sound on contact. The flight trajectory was lower, as expected. Also, the overall distance was longer, as it would take the ball longer to stop. As a consequence, I went over the green each time this happened.

Finally, when I hit some fat shots, and I hit a few today, it felt soft, but not as soft as when hit properly. Also, every time, with no exception, I was short of the green. On occasions, I was way too short. Surprise? Not at all.

I was able to manipulate the shot trajectory, which is an important segment of my game. Additionally, the ball flight was straight, on good or bad shots. In conclusion, the ball behaved as you would expect it to in every scenario. I did enjoy striking it when the strikes were good.

Durability

I would categorise its durability as great. Yes, I know, two-piece ionomer balls are supposed to be more durable. However, some are average and others are great, like this one. After a full round on a par 3 course, there were only a few spots where you could see any scuffs and marks. Even those were not too prominent to have you concerned over the ball’s longevity.

If at any point you decide to play this ball, you can count on durability.

Appearance and Price

I like how this ball looks. Ok, there is not much difference between all golf balls, if you look at it that way. But I do like the green number below the logo, it differentiates it from other balls. Also, I am a big fan of this type of putting alignment. Srixon has tweaked it just lightly, by adding two white lines, one on each side of the “Soft Feel” wording. It is nice, straightforward, and gets the job done.

At $24.99, it falls into the same price category as the Callaway Supersoft, TaylorMade SpeedSoft, and Titleist TruFeel. The soft ball market is very competitive, but at the same time, those are budget-friendly balls. Getting a solid golf ball for that price is a good deal. It comes in white and yellow colors. Additionally, it is available in brite green, brite orange, and brite red colors.
