Take the advice of the pro who has taught you over loads of internet strangers that know nothing about your swing.

Unless of course he appears to have a huge surplus of those balls he’s trying to shift at your expense.

Or Ultisoft ?
Both the Soft Feel and Ultisoft are for slow(er) swing speeds.
I used to play AD333 until trying the Soft Feel on a tracking device. There was negligible distance difference but the Soft Feel had different spin characteristics, which for me were positive, giving less dispersion. My Pro recommended I change to Soft Feel which I did.

Think that's a fair comment and I always find it mildly amusing folk asking strangers these type of questions though usually a lot worse, do I need a stiff shaft etc, anyway, in this particular case I believe being a 26 player the ball won't make a huge amount of difference at this point in time.

I lose distance with soft feel, someone else said that about them to. When I find them I try different years and all the same outcome.
I don't lose distance with Wilson DX2 soft so it's not that particular type of ball.

Use whichever is cheapest, off 26 it’ll make no difference & the cheaper they are the less impact on the wallet when you lose them.

I've mainly used Soft Feel for the past couple of years, but have also used AD333s as well. Little difference in reality, but I feel happier using a Soft Feel.

There isn't much difference between any ball these days, at least as far as distance is concerned. To me, it's all about putting and the feel (sound) off the putter. I believe they have hardened up somewhat, but the original Soft Feels (many years ago) were, to me, horrible to putt with - so were rejected! They also had sme strange characteristics with Driver (distinctly - aka 15-20 yds - shorter) and irons (a club or more longer!).

AD333s are good value, i believe. It's highly debateable whether it's worth getting (new) Premium balls if, as a (wayward) high handicapper, you are going to lose them often. You could try premium Lake Balls, but I suggest you stay away fron 'refurbished' ones.

Completely different view but I believe that you will 'feel' a difference when striking these two balls, especially around the green.
If you do, then go with the one that gives you the greatest confidence (for whatever reason).
If you can't then use any ball you find (and save money)
Underlying ball performance isn't going to be an issue.

If the pro has recommended the AD333 then I'd go with his suggestion. If you wanted to veer away how about the Titleist TruSoft. Plenty of choice of distance balls here at a good price https://www.clubhousegolf.co.uk/acatalog/Distance_Golf_Balls.html

Don't doubt it but was just putting a general post out there to show prices and choices

Got to be one of the most telling autocorrect ever...

 

[Jacko_G]

Don't buy any with the offset centres though!

Go with the one that feels the best off your putter. Putting is half the game, and confidence with the flat stick is a major influence.
