The Chart Explained

Golf ball compression: This is how much force it takes to compress the ball. Low compression balls are generally for slower swing speeds, while high compression balls are for faster swing speeds. Balls with compression ratings over 90 are considered high, while balls under 70 and considered low. Between 70 and 90 is moderate. Learn more about compression HERE.

Golf ball spin: This is how much the ball spins. Balls with high short-game (green side) spin will spin more with the short irons and wedges. Cheaper balls usually have less short-game spin and won’t spin as much. Most balls have lower long-game spin (driver, woods, long irons, etc). Some will spin a bit more or a bit less than others. Learn more about spin HERE.

Golf ball layers: This is how many pieces the ball is made from. 2 piece balls are cheaper and are designed for higher handicap or beginner golfers. They normally produce low spin and are great for golfers who hook or slice the ball. 3 or 4 piece balls will spin more and 5 piece balls will likely have the most long-game spin (not short-game). Learn more about the types of balls HERE.

Feel: This is how soft or hard the ball feels at impact. It doesn’t have a huge impact on the performance, but everyone will prefer something slightly different. Learn more about it HERE.

Golf ball cover: This is the type of cover the golf ball has. Urethane balls are typically more expensive, have higher spin rates, and can be softer. Learn more about the differences HERE.

Swing speed: Some balls will say they’re designed for a certain swing speed while others say they’re for all swing speeds. It can be a bit confusing, but it’s not as important as it used to be. When a company says this, it’s mainly to give you a rough estimate.

If you have a very fast swing speed, a low compression ball could feel way too soft. The opposite is true with a very slow swing speed. The main thing to look at is what you need your ball to do. Do you hit the ball too low? Look for a ball that has a higher ball flight.

But if you are curious about your swing speed, here’s a general chart:
