Callaway launches ‘softest’ ever golf ball
Published:
Callaway has announced the launch of its softest ever golf ball, Supersoft, which helps golfers with slower swing speeds put additional yards on their shots.
Featuring the lowest compression on the market and delivering supreme distance and super-straight performance, the new Supersoft Golf Ball’s ultra low (38) compression, which promotes low spin to combat hooks and slices, combines with Callaway’s trademark HEX aerodynamics, resulting in straighter, more stable and super-long ball flights, with no extra effort.
A perfect product for the golfer that struggles for tee shot distance, but still seeks a soft feel on greenside chips and off the putter face, the Supersoft’s two-piece composition includes a Trionomer Blend cover, specifically designed to maximise ball speed and optimise distance without compromising supreme feel and control.
Dave Bartels, Senior Director of Golf Ball Research & Development for Callaway, said: “Supersoft is engineered with an incredibly soft core — actually zero on the PGA compression scale. It’s easy to make a soft core, but it’s really difficult to make a soft core that is resilient, and we were able to do that with Supersoft. Because the soft core is so resilient, it enables us to put a soft cover on it and still achieve really good ball speeds. The soft cover is great for feel and control around the green as well.
“Supersoft has a very soft cover over an extremely soft core that results in a ball that is only 38 compression points. That’s a full 20 points softer than HEX Diablo, one of our popular two-piece balls. When it comes to accuracy, Supersoft may be the best ball on the market. It reduces hooks and slices so more golfers can get more distance and tighter dispersion.”
Besides the traditional white colour, Supersoft is also available in a newly formulated ‘Optical Yellow’ for greater visibility through the air and on the ground.
Available from January 31, 2014, RRP £19.99 per dozen.
