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.

A 2-piece ionomer (durable, firm cover) ball with a 58 compression FastLayer core for ultra-soft feel, low driver spin, a low driver flight with a high iron flight, and enhanced distance at a budget-friendly price.
Who It’s For
The Srixon Soft Feel is built for slower swing speeds (under ~95 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize beginners, slow swing speed, soft feel, great value. In the Srixon lineup, the Soft Feel sits softer than the Srixon Q-Star Ultispeed.
Feel
With a compression of 58 and a ionomer cover, feel is noticeably soft off the face — marshmallow at impact, quiet off the putter.
Spin Profile
Low driver spin means drives run out rather than carry, and the pattern is tight: its 7-iron dispersion ran 36% tighter than its comparison group in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test. Around the green it flies high and lands soft, 9th of 48 for 35-yard wedge apex in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test, though the ionomer cover means it releases rather than checks.
Trajectory & Construction
A high launcher by design, but with so little spin the ball does not stay up: at 86 mph its driver peaked at 54 feet, the lowest apex of all 48 balls in the 2026 robot data. Two pieces: a 58-compression FastLayer core (soft center, firmer edge) under an ionomer cover, with the core doing the feel work. Performs well in cooler temperatures.
Price & Value
At $24.99 per dozen, the Soft Feel is a value pick. That is about $2.08 a ball, $5 less than the firmer Q-Star Ultispeed and $15 less than the urethane Q-Star Tour.
Buy it if
- You swing under 95 mph and want a soft ball that carries its irons well.
- You play a lot of cool-weather golf and want a ball that still feels soft when the temperature drops.
- You want a soft ball that still launches high; it was 4th of 48 for driver launch angle at 86 mph in that robot test.
Skip it if
- You swing over 105 mph and need carry; at 116 mph it carried 268 yards in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test, shortest of the 48 balls.
- You want a long ball off the tee at speed; its driver ball speed ranked 47th of 48 at every swing speed MyGolfSpy tested.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the compression of the Srixon Soft Feel golf ball?
The Srixon Soft Feel has a compression of about 58, which puts it in the low-compression range. At 58 it is the softest Srixon we list (Srixon calls its core the softest FastLayer core it has made), and that softness is the reason to buy it: the feel off the putter and short irons, not extra speed. It is one of several specs the BallCaddie fitting quiz weighs against your swing speed, usual miss, feel preference and budget.
Who should play the Srixon Soft Feel?
The Srixon Soft Feel is built for slower swing speeds (under ~95 mph). It suits golfers who prioritize beginners, slow swing speed, soft feel, great value.
What swing speed is the Srixon Soft Feel designed for?
Srixon pitches it at slower swings, and the robot data explains why: at 86 mph its driver carry ranked 35th of 48, then last at both 102 and 116 mph. Its irons are the strong suit: 7th of 48 for 7-iron launch and 4th for 7-iron total distance at 80 mph in that test, so pick it for feel and iron play, not tee-shot speed.
Does the Srixon Soft Feel have high greenside spin?
Greenside spin is moderate. The ionomer cover is built for durability, and Srixon’s Q-Star Tour is the step up if you want a soft ball that also grabs on wedges.
Is the Srixon Soft Feel good in cold weather?
Yes. Its 58 core keeps a cushioned feel when firmer balls start to sting in cold hands, and we flag it as cold-weather suitable for that reason.
How much does the Srixon Soft Feel cost?
MSRP is $24.99 per dozen.
