Supersoft MAX
The Callaway Supersoft MAX is an oversized (USGA-conforming) two-piece ionomer (durable, firm cover) variant of the Supersoft built for maximum forgiveness, delivering high launch and low spin for slow swings and beginners.
What do these specs mean?
Compression
How soft the ball feels. Lower numbers (70–80) compress easier and help slower swings get distance. Higher (90+) rewards faster swings.
Cover
Surlyn is tough and cheap — great for distance and durability. Urethane is softer and grips wedges for more spin around the green.
Layers
2-piece: simple, long, straight. 3-piece and 4-piece add layers for more feel and spin control on approach shots.
Trajectory
How high the ball flies. Low = flatter flight with more roll. High = peaks up and lands soft. Mid = balanced.
Spin
Low spin = straighter shots, less curve, more roll. High spin = more control and stopping power on the green (but also magnifies slices/hooks).
Tier
Price bucket. Value = budget-friendly distance balls. Mid = solid all-around. Premium = tour-level spin and feel, costs more per dozen.
Best For
Try a sleeve first — ~$5 for 3 balls before committing to a dozen.

Who It’s For
The Callaway Supersoft MAX is built for slower swing speeds (under ~95 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize beginners, seniors, slow swing speed, forgiveness. In the Callaway lineup, the Supersoft MAX sits firmer than the Callaway Supersoft and softer than the Callaway ERC Soft.
Feel
Callaway does not publish a compression figure for the MAX; our estimate of roughly 40 is derived independently from the Supersoft family’s soft-core positioning. With the ionomer cover, feel is noticeably soft off the face and quiet off the putter. The oversized shape also gives the impression of a larger, more confidence-inspiring ball at address.
Spin Profile
Expect low driver spin for more carry and roll — forgiving of minor strike inconsistency. Around the green, the cover gives you workmanlike short-game spin — not tour-grade, but dependable for chips and pitches.
Trajectory & Construction
A high-launching ball — better for golfers who struggle to get the ball up or want maximum carry. The 2-piece construction uses a straightforward two-piece build — a large core for distance and a cover tuned for durability over spin separation. Performs well in cooler temperatures.
Price & Value
At $24.99 per dozen, the Supersoft MAX is a value pick. Expect distance and durability over tour-grade wedge spin.
Buy it if
- Your swing speed is under ~95 mph and you want a ball that actually compresses.
- You play a lot of shoulder-season or cold-weather golf.
- You slice or hook under spin and want a ball that amplifies your good drives.
Skip it if
- You swing over 105 mph — you’ll overcompress the core and lose carry.
- You score in the 70s and greenside spin is your scoring advantage.
