Titleist Pro V1

Titleist

Pro V1

2025

Titleist positions Pro V1 as the softer-feeling half of its 2025 pair, with a cast-urethane cover. Its reviewed flight and distance results make comparison with Pro V1x useful before choosing.

View profile
Titleist Pro V1x

Titleist

Pro V1x

2025

Pro V1x is the firmer-feeling half of Titleist’s 2025 pair, with strong short-game spin in the retained evidence. Driver and iron flight did not follow the same family ordering for the tester, so height needs checking club by club.

Callaway Chrome Tour

Callaway

Chrome Tour

2026

Chrome Tour pairs a soft, responsive feel with four-piece urethane construction. Its reviewed low driver spin and middle-band wedge response make Chrome Tour X a useful comparison when deciding how much firmness and control you prefer.

View profile
TaylorMade TP5

TaylorMade

TP5

2026

TP5 is the softer-feeling member of TaylorMade’s five-layer pair. Strong distance and high-flight results stand out in the retained human cohort, while the wedge comparison shows why family claims and individual tests should stay distinct.

Srixon Z-STAR

Srixon

Z-STAR

2025 Generation 9

A 2025 Generation 9 tour ball with a softer family feel, strong distance and maximum greenside-control positioning in the current PitchMarx cohort. The matched driver data also produced high spin, which is an important fit consideration rather than something PitchMarx hides behind the manufacturer’s low-spin label.

Bridgestone TOUR B RX

Bridgestone

TOUR B RX

2026 VeloSurge

A 2026 VeloSurge premium urethane ball with a softer family position and a mid-flight profile. In the generation-matched PitchMarx evidence, the disclosed tester produced higher driver spin and a lower distance result than the product’s distance-led manufacturer positioning might suggest.

View profile

TaylorMade

Tour Response

2026

Tour Response 2026 offers a soft-feeling urethane route outside TaylorMade’s TP5 family. Reviewed distance is a stronger point than its middle-cohort wedge rating, with wet-shot spin a useful comparison to make.

View profile

Callaway

Supersoft

2025

Callaway positions Supersoft 2025 around very soft feel; the reviewed measurements show particularly low driver spin. Its modest partial-wedge spin makes it worth comparing if you are comfortable playing for release.

View profile

Bridgestone

e12 HiLaunch

2025

e12 HiLaunch combines a very soft feel with high flight and very low driver spin in the reviewed evidence. Its modest distance and wedge ratings make landing behaviour more useful to check than the launch-focused name alone.

View profile

Bridgestone

e12 Straight

2025

e12 Straight is a three-piece ionomer option with a low-spin, low-flight profile in the retained human comparison. Its measured results support a long-game emphasis while leaving more to check around the green.

View profile

Bridgestone

TOUR B RXS

2026 VeloSurge

TOUR B RXS is a three-piece urethane option whose retained test produced particularly low flight. That evidence is useful for comparison, but its missing feel rating leaves an important part of the fitting decision open.

View profile

Bridgestone

TOUR B X

2026 VeloSurge

TOUR B X returned above-middle distance and partial-wedge control in the reviewed human comparison, alongside very low flight. Bridgestone positions X as firmer than XS; the feel rating has low confidence.

View profile

Bridgestone

TOUR B XS

2026 VeloSurge

Bridgestone positions TOUR B XS as the softer, more spin-focused option beside X. The reviewed human test showed high driver spin but low flight, so spin alone did not deliver extra carry.

View profile

Callaway

Chrome Soft

2026

Chrome Soft is the softer-feeling starting point in Callaway’s Chrome family. Its three-piece urethane construction sits alongside low driver spin and a middle-band short-game assessment in the reviewed evidence.

View profile

Callaway

Chrome Tour X

2026

Chrome Tour X is the firmer Chrome option, with stronger partial-wedge control in the retained comparison. Its lower flight result makes it worth checking how approach shots land as well as how they spin.

View profile

Callaway

ERC Soft

2025

ERC Soft combines three-piece construction and a hybrid cover with strong distance and high-flight results in the retained human cohort. Its name gives less certainty about impact feel: that attribute is not rated in the approved snapshot.

View profile

Mizuno

Mizuno Pro S

2025

Mizuno describes Pro S as its very-soft-feeling option. Its middle-band long-game results and more modest partial-wedge spin make Pro X a useful comparison for golfers considering a different spin balance.

View profile

Mizuno

Mizuno Pro X

2025

Mizuno describes Pro X as soft-feeling. It produced more driver spin than Pro S in the reviewed robot comparison, although its flight stayed in the middle band across the comparison group.

View profile

Mizuno

RB 566

current carry-over; SKU 5N324112P

RB 566 is a continuing two-piece ionomer model. The reviewed evidence supports high flight and low driver spin, while feel remains unrated and partial-wedge control is more limited.

View profile

Srixon

Q-STAR TOUR

2026 Generation 6

Q-STAR TOUR Generation 6 offers a soft-feeling three-piece urethane option. Its retained low-spin, low-flight profile is a starting point for comparison, with other tester results showing why the flight needs checking for your delivery.

View profile

Srixon

Q-STAR ULTISPEED

2026

Q-STAR ULTISPEED combines three-piece ionomer construction with a strong distance result and very low driver spin in the retained human cohort. Reduced short-game control is the clearest trade-off to compare.

View profile

Srixon

SOFT FEEL

2025 Generation 14

Srixon describes SOFT FEEL Generation 14 as soft at impact. The reviewed test returned very low driver spin, low flight and limited partial-wedge spin.

View profile

Srixon

Z-STAR DIAMOND

2025 Generation 3

Z-STAR DIAMOND Generation 3 produced very strong partial-wedge spin, with a more modest distance result in the same robot comparison. Srixon describes its feel as soft.

View profile

Srixon

Z-STAR XV

2025 Generation 9

Z-STAR XV Generation 9 offers a firmer response than Z-STAR with strong reviewed greenside control. The latest robot assessment places driver spin high, so its distance-oriented family brief should not be read as a low-spin guarantee.

View profile

TaylorMade

SpeedSoft

2024 launch generation (current carry-over)

SpeedSoft is a two-piece ionomer ball with very soft feel supported by TaylorMade and an independent reviewer. The robot comparison returned very low driver spin and limited partial-wedge spin, so check both long shots and pitches before choosing it.

View profile

TaylorMade

TP5x

2026

TP5x brings a firmer, solid response to TaylorMade’s five-layer pair. Above-middle distance and wedge-control results are supported, but its reviewed driver spin does not follow the manufacturer’s lower-spin family ordering.

View profile

Titleist

AVX

2026

Titleist describes AVX 2026 as very soft. The reviewed robot test returned lower flight and strong partial-wedge spin, with driver spin in the middle of the comparison group.

View profile

Titleist

Pro V1x Left Dash

2026

Titleist positions Pro V1x Left Dash 2026 as a firm-feeling, lower-spin option. The robot test placed driver spin and flight in the middle of its comparison group, while wedge results differed between tests.

View profile

Titleist

Tour Soft

2026

Tour Soft 2026 pairs a soft response with high flight in the reviewed robot assessment. Its lower driver spin and more modest greenside-control band make approach landing and short-pitch release useful fitting checks.

View profile

Titleist

TruFeel

2026

TruFeel 2026 has a clear very-soft-feel identity with low driver spin in the reviewed evidence. Its middle-band distance depends partly on release, while short-game spin is a more modest part of the profile.

View profile

Titleist

Velocity

2026

Velocity 2026 is a distance-oriented two-piece ball with very low driver spin in the reviewed robot cohort. Its low partial-wedge spin is a clearer finding than either universal distance gains or a strongly established feel category.

View profile

Vice

Pro

2024

Vice Pro is a three-piece urethane option with a lower-spin, lower-flight result in the retained human cohort. Its middle-band distance and wedge control give a useful measured starting point, while impact feel remains an open question.

View profile

Vice

Pro Air

2024

Vice Pro Air has a stronger wedge-control result than its middle-band distance assessment in the retained human cohort. The Air name should not be read as proof of high flight or a particular feel: trajectory is mid and feel is unrated.

View profile

Vice

Pro Plus

2024

Vice Pro Plus combines four-piece urethane construction with a firm response and strong reviewed wedge control. Its high driver-spin result makes it a distinct fitting option rather than a general prescription for extra distance.

View profile

Wilson

DUO Soft

2025

Wilson positions DUO Soft 2025 as a very soft ball. The reviewed evidence points to high flight and very low driver spin, but distance evidence comes from a manufacturer-controlled test and greenside control remains unrated.

View profile

Wilson

Staff Model

2026 revised construction

Staff Model 2026 is the less-firm counterpart to Staff Model X, with a balanced long-game assessment and high flight in the latest robot cohort. Its control profile changes with wedge length, making more than one short-game shot worth testing.

View profile

Wilson

Staff Model X

2026 revised softer construction

Staff Model X 2026 offers a firm response with above-middle distance and greenside-control assessments. Wilson describes the revised generation as softer than its predecessor, while positioning it as firmer and higher-spinning than Staff Model.

View profile

Wilson

Triad

2025

Triad 2025 offers a soft response with low driver spin and middle-band flight in the reviewed robot test. Its middle-band distance and wedge control leave feel and your own short-game comparison as the main reasons to shortlist it.

View profile

Callaway

Warbird Distance+

2025

Warbird Distance+ is Callaway’s 2025 distance-focused two-piece ball, with a tri-blend ionomer cover. The retained 2025 robot sample is probably applicable, but its match to the current UK product code remains unproven.

View profile

Srixon

AD333

2026 (G12)

AD333 Generation 12 is now a BallSelecta-eligible two-piece option: soft-feeling, relatively low-spinning from the driver and deliberately positioned as a balanced value ball rather than a premium-control substitute.

View profile

TaylorMade

Distance+

2025

TaylorMade Distance+ 2025 is now BallSelecta-eligible as a high-distance, lower-driver-spin two-piece option. Its strongest trade-off is equally clear: generation-matched robot testing puts its short-game spin at the very bottom of the comparison.

View profile

Srixon

DISTANCE

Generation 10 (SKU 10312782)

Srixon DISTANCE Generation 10 is the current white two-piece ball identified by supplier code 10312782. Srixon positions its FastLayer core and ionomer cover for distance; comparative performance remains unrated.

View profile

Srixon

UltiSoft

Generation 5 (SKU 10355893)

UltiSoft Generation 5 is Srixon’s soft-feel-focused two-piece ionomer ball, identified in UK stock by code 10355893. The manufacturer states 42 compression; that figure does not establish a personal distance benefit or an independent feel rating.

View profile

Callaway

Chrome Tour Triple Diamond

2026

Chrome Tour Triple Diamond 2026 is Callaway’s firmer, more penetrating Chrome Tour option for faster swingers. PitchMarx adds it because that combination fills a genuine BallSelecta role rather than simply extending the family.
