Soft golf balls are often preferred by new players and those with slower swing speeds due to their forgiveness, increased spin and better feel around the greens. But what are the softest golf balls on the market? This blog will list some of our favourite soft-feel golf balls so that you can find the perfect ball to elevate your game!

1. Titleist 2024 Tour Soft

If you’re looking for a good all-rounder with an ultra-soft feel, Titleist’s Tour Soft is an excellent choice. With a compression score of 65 and an ultra-thin Fusablend® cover, the Tour Soft is perfect for golfers who prioritise softness without compromising control.

Despite its incredible softness, the Tour Soft still feels powerful and stable off the tee, travelling a fair distance down the fairway with a low spin. Its faster, larger core and refined dimple design deliver optimised ball flight and speed for longer distances, making this ball ideal for any golfer that’s after a soft feel and doesn’t want to break the bank.

2. Callaway Supersoft

One of the softest golf balls on the market, the Callaway Supersoft has a compression rating of 38, making it ideal for players with slower swing speeds who want to maximise distance. This ultra-soft feel combined with the hyperelastic SoftFast core results in a more efficient energy transfer at impact, leading to higher ball speeds and better launch with less spin.

Callaway’s unique hexagonal dimple arrangement also helps to reduce drag and increase lift to help players achieve better launch angles off the tee.

3. Wilson Duo Soft

The Wilson Duo Soft has an incredibly low compression score of just 35 and has been dubbed by some as the ‘world’s softest golf ball’. This low compression score undoubtably helps to boost distance off the tee for those with slower swing speeds and also makes this ball a good choice for golfers who struggle with excessive spin.

In addition to this, the Duo Soft features VelocitiCOR technology, that is designed to extract and amplify every ounce of power from a player’s swing, resulting in great distance and an exceptional feel with every shot.

4. Srixon 2025 UltiSoft

The Srixon UltiSoft is Srixon’s softest ball with a compression score of 42, however this does not mean it compromises on power or distance! Delivering all-around performance across the course, the UltiSoft provides an ideal mix of distance and control. Featuring a FastLayer core, the UltiSoft is softer in the centre and gets progressively firmer towards the outside, providing penetrating launch and excellent distance of the tee.

The soft, thin cover of these Srixon balls also helps to provide more greenside spin and a softer feel on all pitches, chips and putts.

A golf rangefinder is an innovative tool that measures the distance to targets on the golf course, such as hazards and flags.

In this blog, we will explore everything you need to know about rangefinders, including how they work, their special features and where you can find them for a great price – let’s dive in!

What Is a Rangefinder?

A rangefinder is a device that measures a distance to an object. Rangefinders can be used in many different fields—including hunting, surveying and photography—but they are especially popular among golf enthusiasts, who use them to measure the distance between themselves and the hole. This can help golfers to improve their accuracy, distance control and shot selection.

How Does a Rangefinder Work?

Golf rangefinders use laser technology to measure the distance between you and your target. This is done by shooting the laser directly at the target and measuring how long it takes for the beam to bounce off and return to the rangefinder.

Some rangefinders even have technology that can account for slope angle to provide adjusted yardage!

At gimmeballs, we stock two colours of the Shot Scope Pro X golf rangefinder: black and white.

As temperatures drop and clouds turn grey, many golfers put their golf gear away, assuming that wet and cold weather is too harsh for a round of golf. While adverse weather itself can make the game less enjoyable, there’s another key factor that is often forgotten: how the weather affects your golf balls.

As summer fades into autumn, golf courses everywhere become dotted with fallen leaves. Although these leaves make for beautiful golfing scenery, their presence poses a challenge to golfers, particularly when it comes to finding lost balls. This is where the ‘Leaf Rule’ comes in, an unofficial but oft-embraced guideline that many golfers rely on during the autumn months.

What Is the Leaf Rule?

The Leaf Rule allows golfers to avoid penalty strokes if their ball is lost in a pile of leaves on the course. Although not officially a rule of golf as set by the R&A, the Leaf Rule is often adopted by golf clubs in the autumn months.

The idea is that if a golfer loses their ball in a pile of leaves on the course, they can take free relief by dropping a new ball in the relief area (a free drop) without having to take the usual penalty for a lost ball.

How Does a Free Drop Work?

A free drop, or ‘relief drop’, is a way to play a ball from a different location when an abnormal course condition interferes with your game and your ball is in a position that makes it difficult to play.

You should find the nearest point of complete relief i.e. a spot that is the shortest distance from where your ball is currently located where you are no longer being affected by the interference. This spot should be at most one club-length away from the place where you believe your ball landed.

Why Do Golfers Use the Leaf Rule?

The primary reason that golfers use the Leaf Rule is because fallen leaves really can make it nearly impossible to locate your ball, even if your shot was perfectly on target. Many players believe the rule makes logical sense as there is no reason a player should be given the same penalty for a well-struck shot that is concealed by a layer of leaves as a player who has sliced their ball into an out-of-bounds area.

Another key reason is that searching for a golf ball in thick autumn leaves takes a long time, slowing down the pace of play. The Leaf Rule allows players to swiftly move on and continue their game.

Some players argue that the Leaf Rule does come into play in the official Rules of Golf Rule 16 – Relief from Abnormal Course Conditions. However, this rule clearly states that free relief may only be given is the obstruction is ‘immovable’, which of course, leaves are not.
