Let me tell you, these Srixon Soft Feel Lady golf balls are the real deal. As someone who's tested countless balls trying to find that perfect balance of distance and control, these pink beauties surprised me with their performance.

The first thing you'll notice is how incredibly soft they feel off the clubface. That thin cover really does make a difference - especially on short game shots where you want that responsive touch. I've had pitches check up beautifully on greens when I needed them to.

Distance? Oh boy. The 338 Speed Dimple pattern isn't just marketing speak. Even with my moderate swing speed (let's be honest, it's not exactly tour-level), I was getting noticeable extra carry compared to regular balls. The higher launch angle really helps keep the ball in the air longer.

What impressed me most was the greenside control. Unlike some distance balls that feel like rocks when putting, these maintain that soft feel all the way through your round. My lag putting improved immediately because I could actually judge the weight of my strokes properly.

The bright pink color is a bonus - never lost one in rough all day (though my playing partners might argue that's not always a good thing).

Are they perfect? Well, in very windy conditions they do get pushed around a bit more than some premium balls. And while they're great for moderate swing speeds, faster swingers might want something firmer.

Bottom line: If you're a woman golfer or anyone with a slower swing speed looking for extra distance without sacrificing feel, these should be at the top of your list. They've earned a permanent spot in my bag.
