This is the first of a series of articles on golf ball comparisons. By making these comparisons based on my reviews, I aim to assist you in selecting the best golf ball for your game. We will start with two popular models and solid performers: the 2025 Callaway Supersoft and the 2025 Srixon Soft Feel.
Both have been updated for the season and offer solid performance without the price tag of a tour ball. But which one is better for your game? The comparison is based on my reviews in real playing conditions.

2025 Callaway Supersoft

- Beginners or high handicappers with slower swing speeds
- Anyone looking for high launch and durability at a low cost
2025 Srixon Soft Feel

Performance Comparison
Feel and Putter Feedback
- Supersoft: Exceptionally soft, almost marshmallow-like. Mellow sound off the putter. Easy to adjust pace, especially on long putts.
- Soft Feel: Still soft but more responsive. A slightly firmer feel helps with feedback and touch. Preferred if you don’t like the “dead” sensation.
EDGE: Soft Feel — for those who like a bit more feel without losing comfort
Around the Green
- Supersoft: Soft feel, predictable but limited spin. Bump-and-runs end a bit short, but easy to adjust. Lacks bite on longer chips.
- Soft Feel: Better greenside spin for a two-piece ball. High chips land soft and roll moderately. More short-game control overall.
EDGE: Soft Feel — more spin, better feel on chips and pitches
Approach Shots
- Supersoft: High launch, straight flight, and slightly improved distance over the previous version. Mishits still fly well.
- Soft Feel: Mid-to-high, more penetrating flight. Solid strike stops quickly on greens. Thin shots roll out more due to lower spin.
EDGE: Tie — Supersoft helps with high flight; Soft Feel offers better control
Durability
- Supersoft: Strong durability with minimal wear after a full round. Slight marks and scuffs, but nothing concerning.
- Soft Feel: Excellent durability. Barely shows any marks after a full round — among the best in its category.
EDGE: Soft Feel — slightly tougher over time
Looks and Visibility
- Supersoft: Bold splatter colorways and vibrant solid colors. Great visibility and personality on the course.
- Soft Feel: Clean design, subtle alignment tweak, standout green ball number. Bright color options, but more traditional overall.
EDGE: Personal preference — Supersoft for style, Soft Feel for a classic look
