TaylorMade SpeedSoft Ink Golf Balls Review: Are they any good?
TaylorMade have come up with something new for 2024 with more to the Ink model than just being a colourful option to tee it up with.
The SpeedSoft range is an excellent addition and gives TaylorMade a contender to rival the Callaway Supersoft, Srixon Soft Feel and Titleist Tour Soft balls.
A very soft, low compression ball than is an incredibly cheap golf ball, they are an ideal choice for beginners and high-handicappers.
The Ink range won’t be to everyone’s taste but we liked the look of them in testing. There benefits on the course are good too with solid distance and a lot of short game control.
