The cover for the TruFeel is softer than the previous version for better results around the green and the dimple pattern is designed for a penetrating low ball flight to help give more distance by additional roll.
The Tour Soft quadrilateral dipyramid dimple pattern, which I don’t understand so don’t ask me, Titleist says is “for optimized flight and distance,” and with the larger core added distance is produced. The cover is a proprietary formula called Fusablend and is a combination of ionomers and polymers which soften the cover for more spin and therefore control for scoring shots.
