The ifrothgolf review
Titleist's entry-level ball and the softest in the range. It is a simple two-piece design built around the TruTouch core for speed and a soft 3.0 TruFlex cover for a bit of bite near the green, wrapped in a 376 tetrahedral dimple pattern that gives it a low, boring flight. Think of it as the honest workhorse of the Titleist lineup, not a Pro V1 in disguise.
What's great
The feel is the headline. For the money there is nothing this soft with a Titleist on the side, and it sounds and feels lovely off the putter and wedges. Ball speed is genuinely respectable for a two-piece, the low flight holds up in the wind, and there is more greenside spin than you would expect from a budget ball. At roughly 25 pounds a dozen it is forgiving on both your scorecard and your wallet.
Worth knowing
This is not a premium ball and it does not pretend to be. Faster swingers (think 116 mph and up) will find it spins too much with the longer clubs, making trajectory and flight harder to control, and total distance falls short of premium urethane balls. The greenside spin, while good for the price, will not stop a wedge shot dead the way a Pro V1 or AVX does. If you have the swing speed and short game to use a tour ball, you will feel like you are leaving performance on the table.
The verdict
If you are a mid-to-high handicapper, a slower swinger, or you just go through balls faster than you would like to admit, the TruFeel is one of the easiest recommendations in golf. Buy it for the soft feel, the low price and the badge, not for tour-level spin. Faster, better players should spend up.
