Soft Without Compromise: Srixon Introduces Latest Generation of SOFT FEEL Golf Balls

Miami Herald19-02-2025
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 19, 2025 / The all-new line of SOFT FEEL golf balls from SRIXON® brings maximum all-around performance to the course with their irresistibly soft, yet remarkably solid feel at impact. Featuring an updated FastLayer Core, SOFT FEEL golf balls generate increased ball speeds for enhanced distance and feel.
Softer Feel, High Speed
At the center of the new SOFT FEEL golf balls lies the updated FastLayer Core, which generates increased ball speeds for enhanced distance and unparalleled feel. The innovative FastLayer Core gradually transitions from a soft inner core to a firm outer edge, mimicking a core with thousands of layers. This unique construction provides golfers with more distance and an exceptional feel without any compromise.
"SOFT FEEL has a long-standing reputation among avid golfers, and this new generation is pushing the performance limits even further," said Brian Schielke, Vice President of Business Planning at Srixon. "For a lot of people, feel is everything when they're choosing a ball, so having one that prioritizes feel but also values distance and playability makes it a game-changer."
In addition to the improved performance, SOFT FEEL golf balls offer enhanced accuracy off the tee, helping golfers achieve a straighter ball flight. The softer core reduces long-game sidespin, resulting in less curve on Wood and Iron shots.
Additional SOFT FEEL Options
Srixon offers a variety of options within the SOFT FEEL lineup, catering to golfers with different preferences. Alongside the traditional Soft White and Tour Yellow models, players can choose the SOFT FEEL BRITE or SOFT FEEL LADY. The BRITE models feature Matte Visual Performance, enhancing visibility on the course with three different color options while maintaining the high-level performance characteristics of the standard model. Meanwhile, SOFT FEEL LADY is specifically crafted for women's swing dynamics, providing game-changing distance and a higher launch, all while delivering the same incredible softness.
Key Features & Benefits
338 Speed Dimple Pattern: To get more distance overall and better performance in the wind, Speed Dimples reduce drag at launch and increase lift during descent. Soft Thin Cover: Provides more greenside spin and softer feel on all pitches, chips, and putts.

White House set to unveil closely watched crypto policy report

By Hannah Lang (Reuters) -A cryptocurrency working group formed by President Donald Trump is set to release a report on Wednesday that is expected to outline the administration's stances on tokenization and market-defining crypto legislation, among other issues critically important to the digital asset industry. Shortly after taking office in January, Trump ordered the creation of a crypto working group tasked with proposing new regulations, making good on his campaign promise to overhaul U.S. crypto policy. Wednesday's report is a culmination of the task force's work so far and its first public findings. In line with Trump's January executive order, it will lay out what rules and laws should be enacted to advance the policy goals of the pro-crypto White House. Those include making sure that the Securities and Exchange Commission has a framework in place for firms to offer blockchain-based stocks and bonds, according to one person familiar with the discussions. The report is also expected to discuss the administration's wish list for legislation Congress is currently debating to create broad regulatory guidelines for cryptocurrency, according to a second person familiar with the report. The working group led by Trump official Bo Hines is composed of several administration officials including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, SEC Chair Paul Atkins and Director of the Office of Management and Budget Russell Vought. The White House, Treasury Department and the SEC did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the report. "While there have been regulatory regimes in place that have maybe been piecemeal or have allowed the industry to grow in certain ways, the recommendations that we expect to see in the report will be a good roadmap for how to build out crypto as a continued important part of the economy going forward," said Rebecca Rettig, chief legal officer at crypto firm Jito Labs. On the campaign trail, Trump courted crypto cash by pledging to be a "crypto president" and promote the adoption of digital assets. That is in stark contrast to former President Joe Biden's regulators which, in a bid to protect Americans from fraud and money laundering, cracked down on the industry. The Biden administration sued exchanges Coinbase, Binance and dozens more, alleging they were flouting U.S. laws. Trump's SEC has since dropped those cases. TOKENIZATION, STABLECOINS, MARKET STRUCTURE Industry participants will be looking closely at what the report says about tokenization, the process of turning financial assets - such as bank deposits, stocks, bonds, funds and even real estate - into crypto assets. Crypto firms and others have been increasingly discussing the prospect of tokenizing securities as a new way to facilitate trading. Coinbase recently told Reuters it was seeking a U.S. green light from the SEC to offer blockchain-based stocks. The SEC has yet to weigh in publicly on that request. Wednesday's report is expected to recognize the need for the SEC to develop a framework for tokenization, according to a source familiar with the discussions, but the details of the language were not immediately clear. The report will also lay out what the White House would like to see from market structure legislation working its way through Congress, according to a separate person with knowledge of the report. The House of Representatives passed a bill called the Clarity Act earlier this month that would create a formal regulatory regime for crypto, and the U.S. Senate is considering its own version of the measure. Earlier this month, Trump signed into law a bill to create federal rules for stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency pegged to the U.S. dollar. That move was hailed as a major win for the digital asset industry, and the White House has said it wants Congress to pass market structure legislation next, which would have far wider repercussions for the industry. The crypto sector has for years argued that existing U.S. regulations are inappropriate for cryptocurrencies and has called for Congress and regulators to write new ones that clarify when a crypto token is a security, commodity or falls into another category, like stablecoins. The president's support for the crypto industry has sparked conflict-of-interest concerns, which at times have threatened to derail congressional crypto legislation. Trump's family has launched cryptocurrency meme coins, and the president also holds a stake in World Liberty Financial, a crypto platform. The White House has denied that any conflicts of interest are present.

Experian's 10th Annual Survey Finds Over a Third of Businesses Report Using AI to Fight Fraud

COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Experian®, a global data and technology company, today released its 2025 U.S. Identity and Fraud Report revealing over a third of companies say they are using AI, including generative AI, to fight fraud. As fraud threats grow increasingly complex, companies are accelerating their investments with over half adopting new analytics and building AI models to enhance customer decision-making. The report also highlights growing concern over AI-generated fraud and deepfakes with 72% of business leaders expecting these to be major challenges by 2026. While some businesses are more open to embracing AI for fraud prevention, consumer trust remains low. Less than 1 in 4 report interacting with AI-driven tools like chatbots, and just 18% completely trust these tools. 'With the widespread use of generative AI, fraud is evolving faster than many businesses can keep up with,' said Kathleen Peters, Chief Innovation Officer, Experian North America. 'As a trusted partner to organizations across diverse industries, we take a proactive approach to fraud prevention — combining data, advanced analytics and innovative technology to address both emerging and future threats. We're committed to ensuring the delivery of seamless user experiences while fostering trust at every interaction.' Rising fraud concerns for businesses and consumers This year's data shows that businesses are feeling the pressure with 90% reporting concern about fraud and 70% saying they are increasing their fraud prevention budgets. In fact, nearly 60% of companies reported an increase in their fraud losses year-over-year with identity theft, transactional payment fraud, account takeover, peer-to-peer payment scams and first-party fraud identified as the top fraud events experienced last year. At the same time, 57% of consumers are still concerned about doing things online. Their top fears include identity theft, stolen credit card information, online privacy, fake/phishing emails, messages or phone scams, and false information. In fact, according to the FTC, consumers reported losing a record $12.5 billion in fraud losses in 2024, which is a 25% increase from the previous year. The need for modern fraud detection As a result of these concerns, customers are raising their expectations for businesses when it comes to keeping them safe online. Over 80% expect companies to act on security or privacy concerns, and half want stronger online safeguards. While 85% of businesses believe their fraud controls align with consumer expectations, less than half of people are highly trusting of companies to address their concerns online. At the same time, businesses are still relying on verification methods like passwords and PINs, while more secure methods that people say make them feel safest, like biometrics and behavioral analytics, remain underused. This disconnect highlights the need for organizations to not only invest in innovative fraud prevention methods that meet consumers' expectations but also communicate clearly and consistently so their customers can feel more secure and confident. Last year, Experian's identity verification and fraud prevention solutions helped clients avoid an estimated $19 billion in fraud losses globally.
