Callaway Supersoft Splatter Ball Review: This ball goes miles!

Callaway Supersoft Splatter Ball Review: This ball goes miles!

When it comes to golf balls, there’s no shortage of choice. But one of the most popular balls on Amazon right now is the Callaway Supersoft Splatter – and I had to test it. It's bold, bright, and promises a lot. So, how does it actually perform?

I took it out for a full test – from putting and chipping to full iron and driver shots, and of course, my signature durability test in the bunker.

🧪 The Tech Behind the Ball

The Callaway Supersoft Splatter is a two-piece ball designed for golfers looking for distance, feel, and visual flair.

Key Specs:

  • Hyper Elastic SoftFast Core for speed and feel
  • Hybrid cover for greenside control
  • 360° splatter alignment design
  • Built for increased ball speed and soft feel

It’s aimed at newer golfers or players with moderate swing speeds who want a bit of everything — control, distance, and a ball that stands out.

🎨 First Impressions: Design That Pops

Callaway has jumped on the stripe ball trend — think Tour Response Stripe — but added a softer touch with the splatter. I personally like it.

Why?

  • The splatter design isn’t too in-your-face.
  • The darker line within the splatter helps with alignment without being visually distracting.
  • It's helpful for putting but won’t bother you if the ball’s not perfectly lined up in the rough.

🎯 Putting: Soft, Smooth & Quiet

When I rolled a few putts with the Supersoft, the feel was exactly as you'd expect from the name.

  • Very soft off the face
  • Not clicky or springy
  • Pleasant sound and great control

Compared to my usual gamer (Vice Pro Plus or TP5x), this was noticeably softer, and I could definitely use it for putting.

🏌️♂️ Chipping & Short Game Spin

Let’s be honest: most two-piece balls struggle with greenside spin, and I was expecting the same here.

Studio Data:

  • 100-yard wedge shot: 7,000 RPM (compared to 9,300 RPM with Vice Pro Plus)
  • Launch angle: 29°, so slightly higher than I would prefer.

Despite the lower spin numbers on paper, out on the course I was pleasantly surprised. I hit a variety of chips, including my mini “Dan Grieve” soft landing shots, and the ball reacted nicely.

✅ Conclusion: Enough spin for most short game shots — particularly if you’ve got decent technique.

⚙️ 7 Iron Performance: Distance Gains

This is where things got interesting.

  • Ball speed: Around 130 mph
  • Spin: Averaged 5,200 RPM, sometimes dropped to 4,700
  • Carry Distance: 200 yards (10 yards longer than my gamer ball!)

For reference, my smooth 7 iron usually carries 190 yards. The lower spin helped the ball fly longer, but at the cost of stopping power.

🧠 If you have a slower swing speed, this extra distance can be a huge benefit.

🚀 Driver Performance: Long & Low Spin

For the big stick, here’s what I saw using a GC3 launch monitor:

  • Clubhead speed: 118 mph (smooth swing)
  • Smash Factor: 1.40
  • Ball speed: ~165 mph (5 mph less than a premium ball)
  • Spin: 2,300 RPM

Even with the slightly lower ball speed, this ball carried 300 yards and rolled out a bit more — impressive for a two-piece.

🧱 Durability Test: 10 Shots from the Bunker

As always, I finish my review by testing how the ball holds up after 10 bunker blasts.

  • A few tiny scuff marks, but that’s it.
  • Surprisingly, it held up better than my Vice Pro Plus (which scuffed more).

🛡️ Verdict: Passes the durability test with flying colours.

💰 Price Point: Not the Cheapest Two-Piece

At £24–25 per dozen, it’s around £2 per ball. That puts it at the top end of the two-piece market.

You can find cheaper two-piece options that perform similarly in terms of spin and feel

🏁 Final Verdict: Who Is This Ball For?

🎯 Great for:

  • New golfers
  • Players with moderate swing speeds
  • Those who want soft feel and extra distance
  • Golfers who like bold, modern ball designs

⚠️ Less suited for:

  • High swing speed players who need spin for control
  • Short game obsessives who rely on bite and check
  • Golfers who prefer firm feedback

⛳ Final Thoughts

The Callaway Supersoft Splatter is better than I expected. While I won’t be gaming it myself (I rely too much on spin and control), it’s a great all-rounder for casual rounds, practice sessions, and players chasing a bit more distance without breaking the bank.
