Why Soft Golf Ball Is Even Better Than Premium

Last time we talked about myths surrounding soft golf balls, today let's focus on soft feel and lower compression. Some golfer might think soft golf ball like bouncy ball from Kmart. At faster swing speed s of around 95 mph and upwards a softer compression ball may produce a slightly slower ball speed. That is because softer compression ball allows players to compress the ball with less effort and efficiency, laws of physics will limit the maximum ball velocity at various compression rating, that's where the trade off between softer feel and higher velocity usually comes into play.

For example the lower compression ball, like Tour Performance S and SS2 Soft, can offer most mid-high handicappers good compression ratio and give them the best chance to max out distance on longer shots. On the other hand, the benefits for higher swing speed players are it's buttery feel and penetrating ball flight when occasional course conditions demands it.

Without taking into account the difference in the ball's cover technology, a softer compression ball will usually spin less than a higher compression ball. When the ball's core is compressed it reduces spin and that's the main reasoning behind multi-layer construction, where best of both worlds can be achieved. When the ball is struck by metal woods and longer irons with higher efficiency the core is compressed to reduce spin, while the construction ensures minimum compression on approaching shots.

With Forte's patented ultra thin and ultra soft U-Cast Urethane cover, we've bridged the gap and given golfers of all ability to enjoy softer compression ball while maintaining extremely spin on approaching shots.
