Best Soft-Feel Golf Balls

Soft feel comes from low compression and a soft cover. The balls below all sit under 60 compression — among the softest in the market — and produce a notably muted impact sound and feel.

Frequently asked

What is the softest golf ball you can buy?

The Wilson Duo Soft at 35 compression is the softest active ball in our directory. The Callaway Supersoft (38) is the most popular soft-feel ball thanks to its wide retail availability. Maxfli SoftFli (45) is right behind.

Does soft feel mean shorter distance?

For slow swings, no — soft compression actually adds distance because the ball compresses fully. For fast swings (105+ mph), a soft ball over-compresses and loses distance. Match compression to swing speed.
