How It Works
There's no one-size-fits-all golf ball. Our online fitting process, the Golf Ball Selector Systemâ„¢, matches a ball to your swing characteristics and performance goals.
Golf balls perform differently for different golfers. Launch angle, spin rate, ball construction, compression, and cover hardness all influence distance and control. Choosing wisely means weighing these factors against how you play.
The right ball truly makes a difference. Whether you need help taming excess spin or want more feel around the greens, our approach highlights the model that complements your game.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the fitting tool work?
- Our upcoming selector asks a few quick questions about your game—such as your average swing speed, desired feel, and spin preferences. Based on your responses, it recommends golf balls that match your playing profile.
- Why is swing speed important?
- Swing speed determines how much compression a golf ball undergoes at impact. The wrong compression can rob you of distance or feel. Matching your swing speed to the right compression maximizes performance.
- What is compression?
- Compression refers to how much a golf ball deforms when struck. Low-compression balls are softer and better for slower swing speeds. Higher-compression balls are firmer and better suited to faster swings.
- Should I consider spin and feel?
- Absolutely. Spin affects control, especially on approach shots and around the green. Feel impacts your confidence and touch on putts. We factor both into our recommendations.
- Is this better than reading reviews or top-10 lists?
- Yes. Those lists are often generic and don't account for your individual playing style. Our approach tailors the results to your exact game.
