CALLAWAY SUPERHOT GOLF BALL REVIEW DRIVER
The Supersoft results in more backspin off the driver which can tend to cause higher ball flight and less roll out. In fact, you will probably see distance gains off the driver if you are switching from a harder golf ball like a ProV that was really designed for fast swings.Ĭomparing this to the Superhot…I would give the win to Superhot for driving. This ball performs great off the driver for those of you with slower driver swing speeds (under 90mph). The greenside spin with this cover is definitely better than other surlyn cover balls but not as good as a urethane cover. In my testing, comparing it to urethane cover balls and other surlyn cover balls, I will say that Callaway did accomplish that. The downside to urethane cover balls is that they usually cost more.Ĭallaway claims that their cover is better than the usual ionomer cover. Typically, surlyn (or ionomer) covers are harder than urethane covers and give you less spin on lower swing speed shots like pitches and chips. That’s because chips and pitches are struck at lower swing speeds so the core of the ball is not compressed very much. This ball is able to keep the spin under control on the longer clubs like the driver while still having such a low compression number, which makes it very desirable for players with a slower swing speed.Īs for short game spin, that really depends on the cover material. I found that they felt a little mushy at driver swing speeds over 100mph, but with a lower swing speed, the ball feels more solid. But if you remember and long for the days of wound balata balls then this might just be the modern answer.
For a lot of golfers, this can take some getting used to and some never really warm up to the soft feel. This ball is soft and you’ll be able to tell that right away.
It’s easy to figure out how this ball is going to feel.
