I f soft is what you're looking for, con- sider these golf balls from a com- pany that has been making some of the softest golf balls on the market since the introduction of the Duo in 2011. Designed for the average golfer, Wilson touts these balls as having the lowest compression of all 3-piece suryln golf balls, which means longer distance and straighter shots. Claim to Fame: The brand. Before the revolution in golf ball design that began in earnest in the 1980s, Wilson was The Brand, renowned for its irons and the best players in the world using its products. The Deal: Usually $26.99 a dozen, they're now $45 for two dozen. Avail- able while supplies last. SHOP HERE. V olvik's Vivid soft line features a premium urethane-covered ball with lower compression suited for players with low- and mid- handicaps and moderate swing speeds. Volvik markets the line to- ward golfers looking for more dis- tance and accuracy off the tee without losing greenside control. Claim to Fame: In addition to performance, Volvik's niche is color, offering orange, pink, yellow, green, blue and white versions across most of its line of golf balls. The Deal: Usually $32.99 per dozen, they are now selling for $55 for two dozen. Expires on 12/31/18. SHOP HERE. B oth the Tour B RX and the Tour B RXS are designed to give golfers of all abilities more distance and accuracy, with the latter also intended to give better players more control on their shots. A combination of propri- etary core construction and an im- proved dual dimple design explains the enhanced aerodynamics, while the ac- curacy comes from lower side spin from tweaks to the gradation core. Claim to Fame: Talk about legacy – the original Bridgestone company began manufacturing golf balls in 1935, and Tiger Woods used the golf balls in his 2018 comeback campaign. The Deal: $38.99 per dozen, $6 off. Expires on 12/31/18. SHOP HERE. BRIDGESTONE TOUR B SERIES T aylorMade made some noise when it entered the ball market in 1999, but after acquiring Maxfli in the early 2000s and then in- troducing the TP5 in 2005, golfers re- ally started noticing. The TP5 brand features a five-layer construction de- sign to increase distance, control and spin without compromising greenside efficiency, and is meant to complement every club in the bag. Claim to Fame: Do the names Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy, mean anything to you? All of them are TaylorMade tour players who use some version of the TP5. The Deal: On sale now for $34.99, $10 off the $44.99 price tag. Expires on 1/18/19. SHOP HERE.
