Titleist Tour Soft or Taylor Made Tour Response

Which ball would you game this Season Titleist Tour Soft or Taylor Made Tour Response?

That's an interesting comparison. Between the two, I'm taking the Tour Response for exactly one reason: greenside spin. The Tour Response is a urethane cover and the Tour Soft is not. The TR is still less spin than Tour-level balls, but it's more than the Tour Soft and for me and my game, I need to be able to control how my shots are going to react on the green. YMMV.

I can tell you for a fact that the Titleist Tour Soft does not hold up well. The cover is soft and you can barely get a full round out of the ball during normal play. I don't have cart paths on my course either. I'm just talking about normal play.  I haven't played the TaylorMade Tour Response ball yet but it was replacing the "a" which was a good ball.

The tour response also has a significantly low compression at 48

The Titleist Tour Speed is closer to the Tour Response.

I switch over to the Tour Response ball, its pretty long and great around the greens. ( i loved the Project A )this is an upgrade to that ball.

I was also going to point out that you might want to try out the Titleist Tour Speed. That being said, I just played the best 9 holes of my life at the newer Arcadia Bluffs South Course in Michigan (look it up, it is beautiful) with the Tour Response and now I am considering playing it a bit more....

The "core" is quoted in their website to be 40 compression, with an overall compression of 70, which I found on Dicks site, when looking for a place to purchase. Have not played this ball yet-looking forward to a round, after reading most of the reviews...

FWIW, I played a round with the Tour Response and found it not as good as the e12 Contact.  

The e12 was longer off the driver, longer with the irons, and did a very good job when hitting approach shots into the green.

The only edge I would give to the TR was off the putter.  The e12 seems to require a softer putt to go the same distance as the TR.  I found it a little easier to control distance when putting with the TR, but nothing I couldn't overcome with a little practice.

I played the Titleist Tour Soft this year as my "winter" ball.  I like the feel of it in cold weather; my normal PV1x is too firm and doesn't hold the greens any better than the Tour Soft.

I played the Tour Response recently, and it was OK, but not great.  In our hot weather right now, I think it's just too soft.  Might be a better ball when it gets cold again.  The Tour Soft is a little longer off the tee; the Tour Response felt good off the irons and putter.  The Tour Response seems pretty durable; I played 18 holes with it and looked nearly new at the end... better than the Tour Soft looks.

Give the AVX a look.
