The Srixon Soft Feel Brite is made for golfers who want a distance-enhancing ball off the tee that is easy to spot and that provides good control around the greens.
This update to last year’s original Soft Feel Brite includes Srixon’s FastLayer core, the same core technology found in the company’s premium offerings, the Z-Star and Z-Star XV. It is one solid core designed to be softer in the center and grow progressively firmer in its outer portions. Srixon said this construction allows the ball to feel softer at impact while providing the distance boost of a firmer ball.
Above the core, Srixon gave the ball a 338-dimple cover pattern designed to reduce drag off the tee and promote a more vertical angle of descent for greater stopping power on the greens. It is thin, so the grooves in wedges and short irons should be able to spin it easily on approach shots.
To make the ball easy to spot, the Soft Feel Brite comes in matte orange, matte red and matte green.
