Callaway Golf Releases The Best ERC Soft and Supersoft Golf Balls

CARLSBAD, CA – ERC Soft is our longest golf ball with soft feel, and it’s built for increased control around the green. This complete performance ball suits a wide range of player types and swing speeds, especially low-to-mid handicap golfers, with a Hyper Elastic SoftFast Core that increases ball speed off the driver while enhancing feel. This softer, lower compression core is paired with a GRIP Urethane Coating System that provides even more greenside spin.

ERC Soft also features a significantly softer Hybrid Cover that creates high launch and low spin for long distance, along with great feel in a durable offering. Around the green, the ball provides outstanding control, so you can play aggressively on approach shots, and in your short game. Callaway’s High Speed Mantle works with this core and cover to further enhance ball speed and greenside control. And our popular, Tour-proven Triple Track alignment helps you choose the right line for better putting accuracy in the best ERC Soft ever.
