Srixon’s new Soft Feel golf balls feature upgraded dimple pattern, core
Srixon announced today the launch of a new Soft Feel golf ball. The 11th generation of the Soft Feel ball, Srixon has designed the two-piece Ionomer-cover ball with a new core and dimple pattern.
“The all-new Soft Feel was designed to help players maximize their distance off the tee, while providing even better feel and control,” said Jeff Brunski, Vice President of Research and Development.
“The latest generation of Soft Feel accomplishes this goal offering a lower compression ball for incredible distance, but a softer cover to provide that greenside performance all players crave. The Soft Feel provides all-around performance at an incredible value which really separates this golf ball from the rest.”
The core is designed to be softer in the center and firmer toward the exterior of the 60-compresion ball. Srixon refers to this technology as its Energetic Gradient Growth (E.E.G.) core, saying it mimics the qualities of (more expensive) multi-core balls.
Key technologies, per Srixon.
- Energetic Gradient Growth Core. Soft Feel’s core technology provides a high launch/low spin trajectory off the tee for added distance with an ultra-soft feel.
- Soft, Thin Cover. The softer, thinner cover promotes more greenside spin and a softer feel on all pitches, chips and putts.
- 338 Speed Dimple Pattern. The upgraded dimple pattern reduces drag and cuts through the wind for more accuracy and consistency on every shot.
The Srixon Soft Feel is available now in Soft White and Tour Yellow for $19.99 per dozen.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

Eleventh generation of this ball? Geez wonder when they will get it right? These soft feel balls do feel great off the irons though. Seems like they stay on the club face a split second longer that others.

Soft Feel balls give you that spongy orgazmic rush when you squash them on your club. I love that feel, it’s so pleasurable.
