Compression and swing speed
Slower swing speeds compress lower-compression balls more efficiently for better distance and feel; faster swings suit firmer, higher-compression tour balls. This is the foundation of a ball fitting.
Tour, soft, or distance
Urethane tour balls maximize greenside spin; ionomer balls prioritize distance, durability, and value. We recommend the best ball across every major brand for your game.
Frequently asked questions
What golf ball compression do I need?
Under ~85 mph driver speed generally suits low-to-mid compression (40 to 70); 95 to 105+ mph suits firmer tour balls (85 to 100+). Our fitting sets this from your carry distance.
Are expensive golf balls worth it?
Premium urethane balls add greenside spin and feel that better players use to score, but many golfers get more value from a well-matched mid-priced ball. We factor value in if you ask us to.
