2026 generation

Tour Soft

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.

Performance profile

What the reviewed evidence tells us.

Long game

Distance is in the middle band, with low driver spin and high trajectory. The distance result varies by speed, so useful carry should be checked rather than inferred from the trajectory band.

Control and feel

Soft feel is supported, though the retained evidence notes a firmer response than some ionomer peers. Greenside control is below the middle band; iron spin cannot stand in for partial-wedge performance.
