One of the important factors to consider when choosing a golf ball is picking the right compression rating of the ball to match the swing speed of the player. Generally, the slower the swing speed of the golfer, the lower the compression number of the golf ball.

How do I choose the right golf ball for my swing speed?

A good rule of thumb is 100 compression for swing speeds over 100 miles per hour, 90 compression for swing speeds over 90 mph and 80 compression for swing speeds under 90 mph. Pick a golf ball with a construction designed to maximize the effectiveness of your swing speed.Nov 16, 2018

Does it matter what golf ball I use?

The quality of golf ball you use definitely matters and impacts on your game. Higher quality, more expensive golf balls generally have a urethane cover, leading to greater 'feel' and spin control. Premium balls will usually perform longer and hold greens more consistently, helping you shoot lower scores.Nov 2, 2020

Do golf balls really make a difference?

They can, but when we tested both types of balls at average-golfer swing speeds, the difference was almost negligible: six yards, usually less. The real advantage of urethane-cover balls is the extra spin, feel and control they offer on shots near the green.May 3, 2015

What golf ball should a mid handicapper use?

If you're a mid handicap golfer, you should be using a 2 or 3 piece golf ball. It'll really depend on whether you prefer distance or control over the ball. Both have their pros and cons but the main benefit to a 2 piece ball is distance and straightness. The main benefit to a 3 piece ball (Pro V1) is increased control.

Who should use Pro V1?

If you're looking for a softer feel, especially in the short game department – select the Pro V1. If you normally hit a high ball off the tee and don't mind launching a little lower, the Pro V1 is again the answer. However, the low-ball hitter will definitely benefit from the Pro V1x.
