What is a soft golf ball?

A soft golf ball is a type of golf ball that has a lower compression rating, which means it is softer and more flexible, allowing it to deform more when hit with a golf club. This can result in less spin and a lower trajectory off the clubface, which can be beneficial for golfers who struggle with high spin rates or want to maximize their distance off the tee. Soft golf balls are also known for their feel and control around the green, providing a soft and responsive touch on short shots and putts. They are often preferred by golfers with slower swing speeds or those looking for a more forgiving ball. Some popular brands of soft golf balls include Titleist Velocity, Callaway Supersoft, and Bridgestone e6 Soft.
