Callaway Supersoft vs Titleist Pro V1
The Callaway Supersoft and Titleist Pro V1 sit at opposite ends of golf ball design: the Supersoft is a low-compression, hybrid-covered 2-piece ball built for distance and forgiveness at any swing speed, while the Pro V1 is a urethane-covered ball built for players who want spin and control on approach and short game shots.
Neither ball is a better ball in the abstract — they're built for different swing speeds and different priorities, which is exactly why they're worth comparing directly instead of by star rating alone.
The Supersoft's hybrid cover and soft core compress easily, so a player with a moderate swing speed still gets a lively, efficient strike — the trade-off is less spin, which means less stopping power on the green and a firmer landing that runs out more.
The Pro V1's polyurethane cover grips the clubface longer at impact, which is what generates the extra spin that lets a competent player stop an approach shot near the pin — the trade-off is a softer cover that scuffs and wears faster, and a materially higher price per ball to replace them.

Choose the Supersoft if you don't yet have the swing speed or short game to use extra spin, or if you lose balls often enough that cost per ball matters. Choose the Pro V1 once your short game is good enough to actually use the extra control it gives you.

FAQ
Will a beginner see any benefit from the Pro V1's extra spin?
Usually not yet — control-oriented spin only pays off once you can consistently strike the ball where you intend to, so a beginner is more likely to just see a softer, pricier ball with no distance advantage over the Supersoft.
Does the Supersoft spin less on every shot, or just some?
Mostly on full shots and around the green, where cover material matters most — off the tee the difference is smaller, since driver spin is dominated by the club and swing, not just the ball's cover.
