Utilizing proprietary Titleist technology, the new TruFlex cover promises to provide an increased short game spin. It is an ionomer cover, which is not quite as soft as a urethane cover – but it’s still quality stuff, and is well equipped to do some impressive stuff around the greens. Four-piece balls aren’t all that common, but some players favor them for the enhanced feel and control that they offer. quote_box_center]“When you lower compression in a golf ball, it’s going to get slower and it’s going to generate lower spin,” Mahoney said. “That’s going to be across all shots. There can be benefits to that in the long game, but also detriments to that in the short game. We can bring compression down and we can leverage [low] spin characteristics in the long game, but then we continue with spin technology and cover technology that helps us deliver more spin in the short game.”[/quote_box_center]

Following are three things to look out for as warning signs that you are playing the wrong compression.

Things to Consider Before Buying Golf Balls

As with most things in golf, the choice of golf balls between low and high compression starts with distance. There are other considerations to be made – and we will get to those later – but it starts with how far you can hit the ball, and how far you want to hit the ball. In general, lower compression means more distance. If a golf ball is easier to compress (requires less force), it is going to be easier to hit it long distances off the tee. The total equation is not that simple, but that is the basic outline of how it works. If you are currently playing a medium compression golf ball and switch to a low compression ball, you will likely see your distance increase. The Titleist DT Trusoft is about as close as you can get to being a premium golf ball without actually being premium. It offers solid all-around performance, capable of good distance, moderate spin, tight control, and unmatched durability – all for a price that isn’t going to break the bank.

There is, however, a happy medium. There are some golf balls that aren’t quite classed as premium but can still offer excellent performance – and at a much fairer price. Is the Titleist DT Trusoft one of them? Let’s find out. Things to Consider Before Buying Golf Balls You might be surprised to learn, then, that the pros actually play high compression golf balls. Why would they do that? If they want to blast it off the tee and reach the par fives in two, shouldn’t they be using a low compression ball? No. The average professional golfer doesn’t need any help hitting the ball farther than they already do, so they use high compression balls because of the control they offer. Soft golf balls can become extremely difficult to control when they are hit at high speeds, so pros use high compression balls that they can successfully manage around the course. As a player advances their game into more competitive spheres, spin becomes an increasingly important element of a successful golfing performance. It can be used to roll a ball further, to stop it in a tight space on the green, to aid subtle directional play, and more. Two-piece balls are generally a bit firmer, providing more distance. However, this distance usually comes at the expense of control. The most distance-orientated balls are typically made with a two-piece construction and are well-suited to advanced players who are looking to push their game forward. The Titleist DT Trusoft is a two-piece ball. With the irons the spin and performance into the green was pretty close, so there is not much to choose here. Both balls will not generate as much spin as something like Titleist ProV1x golf ball but they are still pretty good.TruFeel strikes the perfect balance of extremely soft feel and all-around performance. Our engineers have advanced TruFeel’s low compression technology to add speed and distance in the long game while preserving the feel that golfers tell us they love and the playability on every shot.”
