If you’re looking for high performance/low compression golf ball in 2020, we’ve just found out that TaylorMade announced recently the arrival of a brand-new model: the and Soft Response respectively. The new model is built with ultra low compression, and here’s the best part: they are not as expensive as other high-quality/premium models. For example, the Soft Response will cost a mere $25/dozen, and you’ll be able to order them by the end of February. Now, here are the details: the Soft Response golf ball, the cheapest of the bunch. However, despite its affordability, this baby features TaylorMade’s proprietary Speedmantle with HFMq, which in real-life translates into faster ball speeds. The golf ball’s second layer is firmer, and this firmer layer surrounds the inner core; this particular his design is aimed at providing an explosive transfer of energy. The ball also employs the company’s patented Extended Flight Dimple Pattern, which is critical when it comes to protecting distance in an ultra-low-compression/ultra-soft golf ball. The dimple design in the Soft Response is u-shaped to increase lift and also to promote decreased drag (better aerodynamics basically), which means the ball is capable of staying in the air for longer at a lower spin rate.

Who’s it for, you asked? Well, the Soft Response seems to be the perfect fit for average swing speed players who are having problems with keeping the golf ball airborne, and yes, this baby comes with a soft ionomere cover, which adds to feel and also protects the ball from wear and tear, increasing overall durability.
Moreover, the Soft Response has a 35 compression ZnO Flex Core, and it’s crafted to meet and exceed the expectations of golf players looking for softness and distance in an affordable golf ball. Here’s Eric Loper again:
“Soft Response is a multi-layer golf ball designed for even softer feel, and with our new Extended Flight Dimple Pattern the player can obtain explosive distance.”
