The Titleist TruSoft is no more. Say hello to the Titleist TruFeel. So what’s the deal?
I chatted with Jan Diprose, Titleist’s golf ball manager, who told me the TruFeel ball is engineered to deliver more distance and better control for golfers who rely on the consistent performance and quality of a soft-feeling Titleist ball.
The TruFeel, he said, is aimed at golfers who prefer a soft compression feel and it improves upon the DT TruSoft, offering a superior combination of soft feel, longer distance and short game control.
I know you all want to know what I think of it, but first let’s touch on the technology.
The TruFeel features something Titleist call TruTouch and TruFit, which basically means a low-compression core and aerodynamics that add up to more distance. A TruFlex cover, they say, provides ultra-soft feel for maximum control on shots into and around the green.
Visually, the Titleist TruFeel balls feature a new alignment aid to give golfers the option of not having to do their own marking. The design was the most popular chosen by consumers via the My Titleist customisation process.
As for colour options, the white and yellow return, and a matte red will be added to the range in 2020, which I can’t wait to see.
Titleist TruFeel: NCG verdict
I started by testing these on the putting green and was really impressed by just how soft they felt off the clubface. I tend to putt with a dead weight speed on my putts so having a soft, consistent feel off the face is really important to me.
Whenever I play I use a line on my ball for putting. The final few seconds before I tee off are often spent trying to get a perfect sharpie line round the ball so I was really excited to try out the new alignment aid this ball had to offer. It didn’t disappoint I found it really easy to line up on the green and get my putter face square to and I holed a lot of putts while testing this ball out.
