2017 is shaping up to be an absolute banner year for golf balls. In the tour ball category, there are no less than five new products that will be officially announced soon – and that’s without consideration for the TaylorMade TP5, which hasn’t hit shelves yet.
Add to that another exciting offering that’s still about six months away, and there’s going to be plenty more than just the Kirkland Signature to talk about in the tour ball category.
That’s eight new tour-level balls by mid-season. Frankly, I’m a little giddy.
What About Everyone Else?
While that’s just wonderful for some of us, we also know that not everybody plays a four or even a three-piece tour ball. Plenty of you, especially those who might not swing as fast as you used to, are plenty happy playing a 2-piece ball, and so we wanted to make you aware of an updated offering from Callaway.
Just announced is the 2017 version of the Supersoft Golf Ball.
As the name implies, the focus here is soft. Supersoft is the softest feeling ball in the Callaway lineup. That soft feel comes from a low compression core that spins less off the tee. Worth noting, those same low spin properties help reduce sidespin and keep the ball flying straight.
It’s probably not unreasonable to suggest Supersoft is, by some measure, the answer to the Bridgestone e-Series.
A softer Ionomer (Tri-Onomer – it’s Trademarked) cover provides a softer feel and better wedge spin around the greens, while an updated HEX dimple pattern helps reduce drag.
The bottom line, if you love a soft feeling golf ball, and don’t obsessive over extra layers and urethane covers, Supersoft is the Callaway ball for you.

The 2017 Callaway Supersoft golf ball will be available in white, yellow, pink, and multi-color (white, yellow, orange, blue) packs beginning this Friday (1/13).

tried new Callaway supersoftt ball for 1 1/2 runs distance of driver about same or little further. irons seemed same or little shorter. big difference in feel and distance control of putting.l MUCH WORSE. seemed just little mis hit of ball with putter the ball seemed to come off putter dead. also sound seemed mushy. Also new balls have(old and new version of super soft) some surface blemishes. been using superset for nearly 4 years and will give new version more rounds.
