The ifrothgolf review

TaylorMade's budget-friendly, ultra-low compression two-piece ball, sold in white, yellow and the splatter-finish Ink colourways.

What's great

Feel is the headline, and off the putter it's genuinely lovely, soft without being mushy. Golfalot rated it strongly against far pricier balls, and several UK reviewers recommend it specifically for winter golf where soft feel on slow greens matters more than ripping wedges back. Distance off the driver is very respectable for a soft ball thanks to the PWRCORE. The Ink finish is also surprisingly practical, much easier to spot in rough and on frosty mornings. At this price you can play your good ball swagger without the good ball anxiety.

Worth knowing

Around the greens it releases rather than checks, so if you rely on spin you'll be frustrated. Quick swingers can overpower it and lose a bit of control in crosswinds. The splatter pattern divides opinion, and alignment fans find it busy over putts. It's no Tour ball and doesn't pretend to be.

The verdict

The smart everyday ball for most club golfers. Buy two dozen, relax for a month.
