The TruFeel is the softest ball Titleist sells, yet a 48-ball test found it among the fastest at slower swing speeds. The 2026 update touches only the alignment marking, and the price stays in budget territory.
What's new
Nothing under the cover changed for 2026. Titleist carried the 2024 ball forward and gave it the AIM 360 marking, a continuous marking that runs all the way around the ball.
Inside sits a three-piece build around a TruTouch core, wrapped in a 3.0 TruFlex ionomer cover that Titleist made softer than its predecessor. Compression is 62, and 376 tetrahedral dimples are tiled spherically across the surface. You can buy it in white, yellow or matte red.
How it plays
A ball this soft is not supposed to be quick, and the TruFeel is. At a 65 mph driver swing it posted the second-fastest ball speed in the test, it flew highest of the group at mid speed, and it still finished fifth longest at high speed, which earns its 8.7 for distance.
Feel scores 9.3, and at 62 compression it is the softest ball Titleist makes. Forgiveness lands at 8.2, while value reaches 9.6 because those launch numbers arrive at a budget price.
Where it lacks
Long-game spin runs low. Drives and irons go out straight but never climb and stop, and accuracy at 7.2 and workability at 7 say this ball would rather fly than be shaped.
Around the green, an ionomer cover gives up spin to urethane balls costing two to three times as much. It also rewards a mid- to low-handicap rhythm more than a loose one, which narrows the audience more than the price suggests.
“It is the softest Titleist ball, and it still moves fast. Just do not expect it to check up.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Second-fastest ball speed of 48 balls tested at a 65 mph driver swing
- Softest feel in the 2026 test, and the softest ball Titleist makes
- Launch numbers that keep pace with premium balls at a budget price
Reasons to think twice
- Low long-game spin keeps shots straight but denies them a high, stopping flight
- Greenside spin falls short of urethane balls costing two to three times as much
- A smooth mid- to low-handicap tempo gets more out of it than a loose swing
