Low compression golf balls have their place in the game, and they usually offer a very soft feel. However, for distance and even spin performance, it’s best for slower swing speeds to have a little extra compression in the ball. These are new findings that technology has allowed us to s...
What are the best golf balls you can buy? From premium and urethane-covered, to distance and value, we reveal all.
Perhaps the most important factor to consider when purchasing golf balls is their spin characteristics. Different swing speeds will generate different levels of spin, so finding a ball to match your speed will produce optimal performance, while the wrong ball could drastically affect both accuracy and...
In simple terms, balls that have urethane covers (with a few notable exceptions) are generally the balls played on the professional tours. Non-urethane balls are all the rest, ranging from the softest two-piece balls designed for golfers with slower swing speeds to the pre-packaged 15-ball ...

Golf balls behave differently depending on how you hit them. That sounds obvious but the characteristics that make a golf ball travel a long way for high-swing speed players are different from those that are important for golfers with slower swing speeds. ...

The likes of Rory McIlroy might get close, but we wanted to test 28 different balls across different swing speeds and with different clubs; so a robot was our only option. When we did a similar test in 2019, we used the robot at PXG’s R&D facility in Arizona; this time, the ...
