GregGarner Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 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.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 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.

RyanJohnson_Official Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 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.... jroot327 1 Quote WITB: Callaway Rogue ST - Driver Titleist TS2 - 4 Wood Titleist 818 H1 Hybrid Mizuno JPX 850 Forged Irons Bettinardi HLX 3.0 54 and Cleveland RTX4 58 #ROCKCHALK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjfcpa Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 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.
