Srixon Soft Feel Brite balls bring three new color codes to retail
Srixon has launched its new Soft Feel Brite balls, offering all of the benefits of the popular Soft Feel balls, but in three new color codes.
Srixon Soft Feel Brite golf balls arrive in Brite Green, Brite Orange, and Brite Red. The balls feature Srixon’s Matte Visual Performance cover, designed of course to offer enhanced visibility.
The 11th generation of the Soft Feel ball hit the shelves last summer, and the three new color options will also contain Srixon’s Energetic Gradient Growth (E.E.G.) core. Softer in the center and firmer toward the exterior, the technology aims to offer a high launch/low spin trajectory off the tee for enhanced distance.
The balls contain a soft, thin cover for more spin and softer feel on and around the greens, while the Soft Feel Brite balls will also feature the 338 Speed Dimple Pattern, found in the white and yellow Soft Feel ball, which is designed for lower drag.
Srixon’s Soft Feel Brite balls are available now and cost $19.99 per dozen.

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter
Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.
This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.
Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.
The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.
Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.

Those green balls will be impossible to find! They look cool in the box, but will be worthless on the course.
