I ntroduced in 2014, this ball has be- come one of Callaway's top sellers, as it is engineered to appeal to aver- age golfers who want tour-level caliber golf balls at an affordable price. Super- soft's added distance comes from a soft core composition that spins less off the long clubs to gain more yardage. Less spin also promotes straighter, more accurate ball flight. The softer feel comes from the new Trionomer cover formulation. Claim to Fame: With just a 38 com- pression, the Supersoft is the softest golf ball on the market. The Deal: Usually $21.99 per dozen, the price is now $35 for two dozen. Expires on 12/31/18. SHOP HERE. T here are three technologies Srixon touts for these golf balls: an energetic gradient growth core technology, which results in opti- mum launch conditions; a 338-speed dimple pattern that translates into less lag and improved flight for more distance and shot control; and a third- generation spin coating for more con- sistency on approach and greenside shots. Claim to Fame: Hideki Matsuyama used the Z Star XV in his second-place finish in the 2017 U.S. Open. The Deal: On sale now for $29.99, $10 off the normal $39.99 price. Available while supplies last. SHOP HERE. T itleist was already the top golf ball manufacturer in the world when it rolled out the Pro V1 and Pro V1x in 2000. The introduction was hailed by both touring professionals and weekend amateurs. Though both generate longer distance, the main dif- ference is the V1 has a softer feel, less spin on iron approach and pitch shots, and its trajectory is a touch shallower. Claim to Fame: Unveiled in Decem- ber, 2000, within four months the Pro V1 was the best-selling golf ball in the world. To date, it has racked up nearly 3,000 wins on professional tours. The Deal: The customary $47.99 per dozen retail price is dropping to a Special Holiday Offer of $39.99. Expires on 12/31/18. SHOP HERE. TITLEIST PRO V1 AND PRO V1X C allaway's top-selling golf ball now has a patented graphene dual soft core, which offers even greater feel and distance, less spin on drives, more forgiveness on mis-hits and added control on iron shots. The Chrome Soft X is recommended for players with faster swing speeds due to its extra softness. Claim to fame: PGA Tour star and Masters champion Sergio Garcia adopted the ball for 2018, and won his first tournament while using it, the Singapore Open. The Deal: Both models are available for $39.99 during the holidays, a $5 discount. Expires on 12/31/18. SHOP HERE.
