These soft, high-launch balls are tailor-made for most women's games.

- Bridgestone e5+
An anomaly in this category, the e5+ is a two-piece design with the softer urethane cover usually found on tour balls. The 330-dimple pattern launches the ball high.

- Top-Flite Gamer
Forget the old "Rock-Flites"—this ball is buttery-soft thanks to a resilient core, responsive mantle and thin ionomer cover. Dimple-in-dimple aerodynamics add lift.

- Wilson Zip
A zero-compression core and an amazingly low overall ball compression of 50 give the Zip a super-soft feel. Flat "pan-head" dimples in the ionomer cover encourage a high launch.
