TaylorMade Soft Response — frequently asked
What is the compression of the TaylorMade Soft Response?
The TaylorMade Soft Response has a compression rating of 60. 60 is on the lower end, which compresses fully on slower swings (under 90 mph driver). It is a good fit for high handicaps, seniors, and juniors who lose distance with firmer balls.
Is the TaylorMade Soft Response a tour ball?
No. The Soft Response is a soft feel ball. It prioritizes distance and feel over greenside spin.
What swing speed is the TaylorMade Soft Response best for?
Best fit is driver swing speed under about 90 mph. The 60-compression core fully deforms at slower speeds, so you keep ball speed and launch.
Does the TaylorMade Soft Response spin a lot around the green?
No — the Surlyn cover gives less greenside spin than a urethane tour ball. It is built for distance and straight flight, not short-game stop power.
How much does the TaylorMade Soft Response cost?
MSRP is $25.00 per dozen. That is a value-tier price — under half the cost of a premium tour ball.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the TaylorMade Soft Response?
Amazon is consistently the lowest sticker price for the Soft Response, typically 10 to 20 percent below $25.00 MSRP once you factor in multi-dozen discounts. Pro shops and big-box retailers (PGA Tour Superstore, Dick's, Golf Galaxy) usually charge full retail unless they're running an end-of-season sale. TaylorMade.com itself charges full MSRP but sometimes offers free personalization, which Amazon does not. Used / refurbished options on Lostgolfballs.com run 50 to 70 percent below new but ball condition varies.
