Titleist TruFeel makes case that distance and soft feel aren't mutually exclusive in a two-piece, low-compression ball

This ball remains a very soft golf ball. But in our research, golfers actually talk more about ‘feel’ than they talk about ‘soft.’ We’ve maintained the cover from DT TruSoft and that really helps give them the feel they want.”

The advantage of the low-compression core is lower spin, which helps both produce more distance and limit some of the waywardness of tee balls with hook and slice spin.

The TruFeel, which has a new core that is also larger than DT TruSoft (better energy transfer), remains the softest-feeling ball in the Titleist lineup, and its thinner cover is designed to help with approach shot spin and short-game control. That new aerodynamics pattern is tailored specifically toward enhancing the long game also.
