Who the Callaway ERC Soft is for
- Golfers with a driver swing speed of about 75–100 mph.
- Players who care more about distance and straightness than greenside spin.
- Anyone who fights a slice or hook: lower driver spin means less curve.
- Golfers who like a soft feel off the putter and irons.
The maker pitches it at: low to mid handicaps wanting high-launch, low-spin distance off the driver.
