What is Golf Ball Compression?

Bridgestone, under 80 mph, between 80 and 90 mph, between 90 and 100 mph, between 100 and 110 mph, over 110 mph, experience level, swing speed, distance vs swing speed chart, golf ball layers, weather conditions, frequently asked questions (faq).

Golf Ball compressiojn is the change of shape that occurs when your club transfers energy to the ball as it makes contact. Whereas any golfer can benefit from any of the features in a golf ball, compression is the one feature dependent on your swing speed.

Golf ball compression optimizes the ball’s distance and control for a given swing speed. For this reason, this is the #1 research you should perform before you buy a golf ball.

A golf ball with a  low compression  will  compress more  when hit, assisting the golfer in transferring energy. A golf ball with high compression will require more swing speed to compress. Compression value is the same as hardness value if it helps to think of it that way.

Below is a complete golf ball compression chart for every golf ball currently available to buy in 2023. Make note of the compression rating; then, we’ll teach you how to match up the right golf ball for your swing speed.

Golf Ball Compression Charts

Golf ball compression is a measurement of how much the ball deforms when force is applied to the ball after being struck by a golf club.

It’s measured in pounds per square inch (psi) and is expressed in two ways: peak pressure and initial velocity. Peak pressure refers to the maximum amount of force exerted on the surface of the ball during impact. Initial velocity is the rate at which the ball travels after being struck.

Some golf brands measure compression of the core only and others will state compression for the entire ball. Either option is fine as long as you understand what you are reading. We prefer to see the compression values for the entire ball because it reflects more real life situations.

How Do I Know Which Golf Ball to Buy?

You can use the compression rating of the golf ball above in the golf ball compression chart, along with your experience to match up the right ball to buy today.

If you are a beginner golfer and you aren’t sure where to begin, a soft golf ball with a low compression is always a good choice for you. Lower compression balls can give you more yardage off the tee box when you are just starting out.

It will be harder to shape your shots with specific draws and fades, but most beginner golfers aren’t worried about this anyway.

Scratch players generally have faster swing speeds and get good distance off of the tee already. A harder ball will ensure that you don’t actually lose energy when you hit the ball. 

If you buy a launch monitor to measure and learn what your swing speed is, then you can buy a specific golf ball that matches your speed. A good rule of thumb is that you want a compression rating that matches your swing speed in miles per hour (MPH).

In other words, as your swing speed gets faster, you want a ball that will compressesoff the tee less (a higher compression value) as you transfer energy from the club to the ball. Slower swing speeds will benefit from a softer ball.

Curious to know what your expected distance will be depending on your swing speed? A chart of typical ball distance vs swing speed is:

What Golf Ball Features Effect Compression?

Different golf ball features play an important role in compression.

Golf balls can be manufactured with between 2 to 5 layers. A 2-piece golf ball has the inner core and the outer and that’s it. A lot of softer golf balls (low compression) are 2-piece construction because it is designed with a full core that is easy to compress.

A golf ball with more layers requires you to power through more material in order to transfer energy to the middle of the golf ball. So you will see 5-piece golf balls generally be very hard with a high compression value. 

Most PGA tour players, like Bryson Dechambeau, like a multi-layer golf ball because these extra layers give them greater control and spin on their shots.

The core of the golf ball is made from injection-molded or sythesized rubber. The core has the greatest impact on how hard or soft a golf ball is. When you hit a golf ball, energy is stored and released by the core in order to propel the ball forward.

Golf ball manufacturers can alter the core by changing how dense it is. A denser core makes the ball harder, requiring more swing speed to get energy to it.

The outer cover of a golf ball is constructed of one of a few different materials:

• Surlyn – a harder plastic resin
• Urethane – a slightly softer synthetic compound

Since surlyn is a harder material, it can contribute to some extra distance and durability out of the golf ball. Urethane is a bit softer and promotes more spin and control out of your shots.

A golf ball cover has dimples added to control the spin and aerodynamics of the golf ball. The pattern and depth of the dimples can effect how much golf ball makes contact with your ball and how efficient the transfer of energy is. A complex dimple pattern can be harder to manufacture and increase the cost of a golf ball.

What External Factors Effect Golf Ball Compression?

A golf ball is not immune to the elements of the day. Keep these factors in mind when you are select the right golf ball.

When it is cold outside, a golf ball (and other objects) stiffen up. If you play a lot of early morning golf, then a softer ball with a lower compression value is preferred.

If you play at a golf course in a higher altitune, the air density will be lower and there will be less drag on the golf ball in the air. For this reason, you should look to hit a golf ball with a bit higher compression value. You will already enjoy a little extra distance and the harder ball will give you some better control at higher altitude.

How does golf ball compression affect distance?

When a golfer strikes a golf ball, he or she applies a certain amount of force to the ball. This force compresses the golf ball and causes it to deform. As the ball deforms, it becomes less spherical and its drag increases. Drag is the resistance caused by the movement of air across the surface of the ball. The greater the drag, the harder it is to propel the ball forward.

The lower the golf ball compression, the less drag there is, so the ball flies farther. A high golf ball compression rating means that the ball has been compressed to a very small size. When a golfer strikes the ball, the compressed ball rebounds back toward him or her, resulting in a shorter shot unless they have a bigger swing speed to compensate for the added compression.

Why do some golf balls have a higher compression rating than others?

The difference between golf ball compression ratings comes from the manufacturing process. Some manufacturers use a molding machine to compress the ball before it’s vulcanized. Others use a hydraulic press to compress the ball while it’s still soft. In either case, the manufacturer uses a specific number of psi to achieve a specific golf ball compression rating.

What does golf ball compression impact feel?

A high-compression ball feels firmer when struck because it allows for more deformation At impact. It is easier to control and requires a higher swing speed in order to maximize distance compared to a low-compression ball.

How does golf ball compression impact spin?

Spin is created as the ball moves through the air. Spin is affected by many factors including the type of material used in making the ball, the shape of the dimple pattern, and the amount of compression. Higher-compression balls tend to be spinnier.

Do golfers prefer a high- or low-compression ball?

Most average players like a medium-compression ball. High-compression balls offer better distance but require higher swing speeds to generate enough energy to launch them. Low-compression balls produce longer drives but they don’t fly as far.

Overall, you should match your swing speed (in MPH) with the compression rating of a golf ball in order to find a perfect match.

If you have a slow swing speed of less than 80 MPH, then try a low compression golf ball.

If you have a medium swing speed between 80 and 100 MPH,  then try a medium compression golf ball.

If you have a high swing speed between 100 and 110 MPH , then try a high compression golf ball.

If you have a tour swing speed over 110 MPH , then try a high compression golf ball with added features and more layers in order to refine the control of the ball for different kinds of shots.

Use the golf ball compression chart above to learn and understand the compression value of all of the top balls today.

Each of the top brands release a golf ball for every swing speed in order to maximize sales.

Try out a few balls in your compression range in order to find the one that suits you most. You might see a huge impact in your swing if you pick the right ball.

Golf Ball Compression Chart: Find Your match

Last Updated on January 31, 2024 by Matt Greene

If you can match the golf ball compression to your swing, you can gain distance and increase or decrease spin, depending on your goal.

A golf ball's compression rating is a rating of the softness or hardness of the ball.

Generally, the lower the compression rating, the easier the ball compresses.

Knowing which golf ball compression matches your swing speed, tempo and club head speed will get you closer to your goal. Understanding the compression of modern golf balls is the first step in the process of finding that perfect ball.

Golf ball compression explained

Golf ball compression is a rating or measurement of how much a golf ball deforms when it is hit. When a golf club hits a golf ball, the impact causes the ball to change shape as it compresses  against the face of the club.

The ball will then spring off the face towards the target.

Compression stated on the golf ball or on a manufacturers' website are for the entire ball, but often manufacturers refer to core compression only.

Golf Ball Compression vs Swing Speed Chart

When we refer to swing speed, we are referring to the DRIVER swing speed specifically.

Driver swing speed is an easy benchmark because it is predictive of the swing you'll have throughout the bag.

There is one foolproof way to work out your driver swing speed so you can match it to the correct golf ball for you.

• Go to a Trackman or other radar-equipped driving range. You can hit many balls with your driver to establish your driver swing speed.  This is the most accurate swing speed measurement equipment in golf.

With this information, you can now make an informed decision to select the correct golf ball compression from the ball compression chart and squeeze maximum performance from your golf ball. Keep in mind that you can increase your swing speed with the correct shaft .

There are cheaper options available within each swing speed bracket and I've included a price guide below.

Kirkland Golf Ball Compression

Kirkland Signature golf balls have a compression rating of 94 which places them in the high compression category. As a 3 piece urethane covered golf ball, the Kirkland Signature characteristics are the same as a Srixon Z Star or a Titleist Pro V1. 

What does a golf ball compression rating mean?

The golf ball compression ratings range between a score of 30 and 120. The softest being 30, and the hardest being 120.

Low compression golf balls are softer balls.

Higher compression golf balls are harder balls. 

Do low compression or high compression go a further distance?

Compression and ball speed are related very closely.

• Generally, for FAST SWINGS OVER 105 MPH specifically , lower compression (softer) balls produce less ball speed and these fast swinging golfers lose distance with a low compression ball.
• "Soft balls are slow balls" is a confusing catch phrase thrown around the internet, so don't get confused.
• The biggest loss in distance using low compression golf balls is only for a higher swing speed (105 mph+) with the driver. 
• For slower players (below 85 mph driver swing speed), the differences in ball speed and distance discrepancies between high and low compression balls are so small that we can disregard the notion that 'soft is slow' in this instance.
• For golfers who have swing speeds over 85 mph, producing more spin in excess of 2,750 rpm with the driver, lower spin produced by the low compression golf ball can actually make up for the distance you might lose with that same 'soft' low compression ball.
• In other words, the low compression ball reduces backspin enough to negate the 'slow' ball speed so that you actually benefit from the low compression ball. 

As swing speed comes down, especially on iron shots, low-compression balls may be faster than firmer balls.

Soft balls make slow ball speeds but under the conditions above, the softer covers on high compression balls explain the differences in speed.

It's important to also remember that, soft balls do not spin.

The same design principles that make a ball soft also make a ball spin less.

The lowest spinning balls are low-compression balls throughout the bag; whether you look at the wedges, irons and even the driver. 

If you need straighter shots with your driver or to remove spin in your irons, soft (low compression) balls work great. If however, you need more spin on approach shots, the soft low compression balls are not for you.

How does compression affect spin on the ball?

Low compression balls otherwise known as soft balls, are lower spinning than firm balls. The reason is the way they are constructed, not the compression.

Spin is the result of putting a soft layer (soft cover) around a hard layer (high compression core) and that is why low  compression  balls spin less. Their core is soft with a hard outer cover.

The covers on low compression balls are often hard ionomer while high compression balls that create high backspin, have a urethane cover.

It is possible to make a lower spinning hard ball but the soft balls spin the least in general. 

How can low spin, low compression balls hold a green?

Most low compression golf balls have dimple patterns on the cover that create high trajectory shots. 

The ball is made to create a higher ball flight and steeper landing angle to negate the loss of backspin and that is how the ball will stop closer to its pitchmark. 

The soft inside core of softer balls means that soft or low compression balls usually produce lower spin.

Lower spin on a driver shot means a straighter ball flight, but a low spin iron shot can make it more difficult to stop the ball when you land on the green.

Any golf ball with a urethane cover ( MULTI PLAYER TOUR BALL ) will create more spin than a non-urethane cover (low compression 2 layer ball). By wrapping a high compression golf ball in a soft urethane cover, spin is created.

Does compression affect spin around the greens?

The main way that spin is produced on your short shots is from putting a soft layer around the hard layer - in other words, a urethane cover around the firm core of the ball.

Urethane golf balls will spin much more than ionomer/surlyn golf balls. This is universal and does not depend on a compression. If you want the most spin, you need golfball with 3 layers or more, and a urethane cover.

Callaway Super Soft, Srixon Soft Feel, and Wilson DUO will spin less around the green than a Tour ball like the Titleist Pro V1, Callaway Chrome Soft or Srixon Z-Star. The Tour ball has a urethane cover which is the softest layer of the ball, but underneath that, is a very firm layer. Onlymultiple layer balls with urethane covers spin significantly around the green. 

The balls with the biggest difference in urethane softness and the underlying layer firmness will spin the most. 

Which ball goes with which driver swing speed?

Faster swing speeds (above 100 mph).

Faster swings need higher compression golf balls.  A higher compression golf ball will perform the way a fast swing needs the ball to perform while a low compression ball will lose distance in this swing speed range. 

The options in this bracket will usually be a premium golf balls because high swing speeds are in the minority. A cheaper option in this category are the Kirkland Signatures.

Average swing speeds (85 – 100 mph)

If you are medium swing speed golfer, you have a choice when it comes to the ball you play.

Try out many golf balls depending on your driver spin rate and iron spin rate.

If you are a high spinning golfer, you may need a low compression ball to remove some of that spin. If you're a low spinning golfer, you do not need to lower spin even more, and you should go with feel. What feels best to you?

If you actually need  more spin, choose a medium to high compression ball with a urethane cover . 

Slower swing speeds (below 85 mph)

Distance is at a premium for slower swinging golfers so well-priced low compression golf balls are the best option. The softer the ball the more pleasant the sound, the lower the spin rate and the longer you'll hit the ball. 

Do number of layers make a difference?

Players of different abilities will get more from balls with a specific number of layers.

If you're a high handicapper with a slower swing speed, a premium 5 piece golf ball isn't going to be suitable for you. 

Here's a quick break down of how to choose the right number of layers for you:

2-Piece Golf Balls:  The perfect golf ball for all casual golfers especially those with slower swing speeds. These balls are often well-priced. A great example of a two piece ball is the Srixon Soft Feel.  

3-Piece Golf Balls : The Titleist Pro V1 is the gold standard of 3 piece golf balls and can be used by golfers with a variety of swing speeds and skill levels but I would reserve these balls for you when you lose fewer than 2 balls per round. Another good 3 piece ball is the Srixon Z star.  

4 And 5-Piece Golf Balls: Super premium balls specifically designed for experienced golfers to optimize distance and control. These balls perform best for skilled players.

How do high and low compression balls feel?

• High compression balls will feel firmer. The sound off the club face is very clicky.
• Lower compression balls feel softer on the club face and make a sound that is more pleasing.
• The compression is not the only factor in the feel of a golf ball.
• The cover makes a bigger difference. Urethane covered golf balls feel much softer and are usually found on 3 piece golf balls.
• Ionomer or surlyn cover golf balls are found on the 2 piece golf balls and feel much firmer and clicker.

Final thoughts

If I have learned one thing about golf balls in my 25 years of playing golf and watching other golfers, it's that more expensive doesn't always mean better.

Everyone who starts the game thinks they should be playing a Titleist Pro V1, Callway Chrome Soft or TaylorMade TP5, but it's just not the case. These balls can cost upward of $4 each and will they make that much difference to the game of most golfers? No.

I play the Volvik S4 as it matches my swing speed (115 mph)  and my needs around the green (stop quickly). This high compression golf ball wouldn't suit many of my playing partners and they would get better performance from a cheaper two piece ball .

As with nearly everything in golf, play around with options then stick to what works.

If you have some experience playing golf now, try not to bounce around different balls. Find one which works and learn how it reacts to your game. Learn the ball and learn with the ball. It'll save you strokes, I promise.

On first impressions there are a lot of balls in the box! 15 to be exact. Value wise you can’t grumble one bit especially looking at our best distance balls guide most brands give you just the 12. 

This ball definitely went further thanks to a solid Ionomer cover with aerodynamic dimple pattern. These balls don’t mark up easily, even when the odd cart path was used to launch it a bit further it still looked as new. Just so as long as you keep it on the straight and narrow you’ll find they last round after round. Impressive durability.

The dimple pattern has been enhanced  to delivery a very satisfying trajectory: as a high ball hitter I found many of my drives really punched lower through the air and therefore clocked up the yardage.

This ball boasts a lower compression (70) meaning there’s a bit more control to be had about the greens. But talking of this I found it a touch firm for my own taste. I’d usually prefer a softer connection off the putter face which I get from the Titleist Pro V1x I'm used to playing with. The Wilson line around the ball was a handy alignment tool.

 I found the chipping took a bit of getting used to as the ball came off the face hotter, it didn’t bite as much on shots where I'd usually expect more grab on the green. As with any new ball I’d recommend practicing with anything relating to distance control to get to grips with anything shorter than a full shot. 

The spin was satisfactory with my wedge play but anything longer didn’t stop as fast I’m used to so I did find myself at the back of the green (if I hadn't airmailed it in the first place). This wasn’t just down to lack of spin, this ball really does go long!! Club wise I’d need to go down at least one with it and anticipate it running onto the green rather than assume the brakes will be applied!! 

If you were someone who practiced with your own bag of balls, the durability and satisfying distance these offer would make them a good practice bag filler. Especially as you get a lot for your money. These last.

A great, affordable distance ball but definitely catering for the recreational golfer rather than a lower handicapper. If you are after an all round ball that's a bit softer check out our guide to best value golf balls . You'll find your fit, though the Wilson Tour Velocity may well be the ball for you.

Golf Ball Compression Chart (2024 Update)

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn a teeny-tiny 🤏 affiliate commission.

Finding the right golf ball compression for your game is vital. Compression measures how hard or soft the golf ball is, with lower compression meaning a softer ball. So, let’s see where your swing speed fits in the golf ball compression chart and that will tell you which is best for you (and why). 

The golf ball’s compression is the density or tightness of the ball. The lower the compression of a golf ball, the softer they are. If a golf ball is high in compression, it is harder. Low compression balls work best for golfers with a slower swing, giving a golfer more distance with their shots.

Here’s a golf ball compression chart:

Let’s compare some different golf ball compression options and see what fits your needs.

Low Compression Golf Balls

Benefits of Low Compression Golf Balls

• Increased distance for slow-swinging players
• Increase ball spin
• Soft for easier ball control

Low compression golf balls have many benefits, especially for beginners, seniors, or people with slower swing speeds. When it comes to selecting the best golf balls for beginners , low compression balls are a great option as they can help golfers with slower swing speeds to achieve more distance and accuracy on their shots.

These golf balls can help with distance and spin. They are softer and compress more easily when you hit them. Because of their softness, these balls release more energy when contacted and therefore travel a greater distance.

Golfers who use low compression balls may have a lower swing speed.

Many golfers recommend starting with low compression balls when you are first learning how to play. This is because the ball’s softness allows you to feel how your shot impacts the ball. This feature is important for beginners to ensure they are swinging correctly. 

Downsides of Low Compression Golf Balls

• Golfers used to high compression may struggle to control the shot
• Too much spin can sacrifice distance

Low compression golf balls have downsides, too. If you are used to high compression balls and plan to switch to low compression, you may struggle at first.

Knowing how to control the ball with high compression balls is very different from low compression. So, you will have to rethink some of your strategies when playing.

When it comes to control, low compression balls can give slow-swinging players more control over their shots. However, they can do the opposite for those with higher swinging speeds.

The ball’s softness means it can go farther than you want it to when taking a shot. More distance is not always a good thing in the game of golf. 

Golfers Who Would Benefit Most From Low Compression Golf Balls

• Slower Swing Speeds
• Casual Golfers

High Compression Golf Balls

Benefits of High Compression Golf Balls

• Increased distance for fast-swinging golfers
• Optimal control
• Won’t go as high; better for distance

These benefits seem similar to those of low compression golf balls, but there are some major differences. You will only benefit from high compression golf balls if you have a high swing speed. Otherwise, you won’t see any of these benefits. 

You may wonder how these changes are possible based on swing speed.

When you hit a golf ball at a low speed, you may need some help from the ball to get the distance you want. This is where low compression can help you improve your distance. If you use low compression balls with a high-speed swing, it will actually decrease your overall distance.

This happens due to the construction of the ball.

The contact will force the ball to contract when you hit a low compression ball. As a result, the ball essentially jumps forward, giving you more distance. If you do this at a high swinging speed, the low compression ball will still compress but not in time with your hit. The delayed compression slows down the ball’s speed. 

Downsides of High Compression Golf Balls

• Low distance boost with slow swinging speed
• Feel different from low compression balls

The downsides of high compression golf balls arise for golfers with a slow swinging speed. If you are used to low compression golf balls, these will be difficult to get used to. They have an entirely different feel when you hit them compared to low compression. 

You can use these with a slow swinging speed, but you will not get as much out of them as possible. Instead, your ball will not go as far. So, consider that before switching or trying these instead of low compression golf balls. 

Golfers Who Would Benefit Most From High Compression Golf Balls

• Intermediate to expert players
• Those trying to increase their swing speed
• Fast hitters who want better control

The Best Options for Low and High Compression Golf Balls

Now that we know the main differences between low and high compression golf balls let’s talk about some of our favorite brands. While there are some clear high and low compression options, you will also find several middle options for you to get the best of both. 

Our Favorite Low Compression Golf Balls: Titleist Velocity Golf Balls

[amazon box = “B09MG873G1″ template=”horizontal” description_items=”3″]

If you need a low compression golf ball that can help you get more distance with every shot, we recommend the [amazon link=”B09MG873G1″ title=”Titleist Velocity golf balls” /]

These give you the maximum distance on slower swings without too much spin.

We highly recommend these golf balls for slow-swing players because they tend to fly higher when hit.

Fast hitters do not need the extra height as it will force them to sacrifice distance. However, height can be difficult for slow-swinging players to achieve, so these balls provide a great opportunity to get the ball even higher on your swings. 

High Compression Golf Balls We Recommend: TaylorMade TP5 Golf Balls

[amazon box = “B08QSPK6LZ” template=”horizontal” description_items=”3″]

If you are looking for high compression golf balls, try the [amazon link=”B08QSPK6LZ” title=”TaylorMade TP5 golf balls” /]. These golf balls have five layers of material on the inside, allowing you to get the most out of high-speed swings.

From the core to the cover, many parts of this golf ball make it great for those who tend to swing fast.

The dimple pattern on the outside of the ball creates a more aerodynamic experience, allowing the ball to travel further. So, you can still find ways to get more distance from high compression balls, even if it may be a different method. 

Middle Compression Option: Wilson Tour Velocity Golf Ball Pack

[amazon box = “B07JNVDBHN” template=”horizontal” description_items=”3″]

We recommend the [amazon link=”ASIN” title=”Wilson Tour Velocity golf balls” /] for golfers with medium swinging speeds.

These golf balls give you the benefits of both high and low compressions without being too hard or soft. This feature is excellent for players who normally use low compression golf balls and are looking to move toward a higher compression without the drastic change. 

These golf balls provide a little bit of compression when you hit the ball without being too much and sacrificing distance for those with faster swinging speeds. They also provide a good amount of rolling after your ball hits the fairway or green. So, you can get a lot more distance after the ball hits the surface.

Try these golf balls as a middle ground for those who struggle with low and high compression balls and want something different. They provide good benefits to help your game without being too hard or soft.

Using the Right Compression

Now that we know the differences in golf ball compression, let’s talk about whether or not you’re using the right compression.

It can be difficult to tell what’s right for you as you, the average golfer, probably don’t know your exact swing speed. Even if you do, the speed can change over the years of playing the game as your skills and muscle mass change. 

When you see the swing speed of professional golfers, it can be difficult not to want to achieve those speeds. In reality, most golfers swing below 100 MPH (160.9 KMH). So, you may not swing as fast as you think.

How To Find Out Your Swing Speed

• Visit a pro shop
• Take a lesson as they usually have a radar
• Purchase a speed monitor

Each of these options can give you a better idea of your club swing speed . A radar monitor that accurately determines your swing speed is expensive. So, we understand that not everyone can afford that option.

Consider visiting your local pro shop and trying out some new golf clubs for a free option. There, you can measure just how fast you swing.

Once you know your swing speed, you can better determine your appropriate compression. So, let’s break down what your speed means when it comes to compression. 

Remember, this number is only an estimate. If you’re close to the limit for any compression type, we recommend trying both to see which works better for your play style.

Final Thoughts on Golf Ball Compression

The golf ball compression you need depends on how you play the game. Check your swing speed to get a better idea of which compression level is best for you.

Switching up the golf ball compression level you use may help you get more distance and better spin. So, consider switching to a different compression level depending on your swing speed.

One of the ways that golfers choose a golf ball is by looking at the compression ratings . Compression ratings vary from less than 40 to more than 120. 

If you have heard one of your playing partners talk about the need for a high or low compression ball, we have all the information you need. 

Understanding golf ball compression will help you make more informed decisions about the best golf ball to use on the course.

I recently did some testing of several different golf balls based on their compression, and here is what I found. 

Golf Ball Compression chart

This golf ball compression chart isn’t an exact science, but it’ll give you all the information you need.

Selecting a golf ball based off your swing speed and the golf ball compression that correlates best with it is one simple way to start improving your game.

Using the chart above, you can search for golf balls that are in your compression range.

What Is Golf Ball Compression? 

Golf ball compression measures how hard or soft a golf ball is. A ball with high compression is a bit harder, and it will take more for you to be able to compress the ball. 

In other words, you need more strength and power to get the proper results out of a high compression ball. 

With low compression, golf balls expect that you will need less swing speed or clubhead speed to get the ball to compress.

However, with having less resistance in your shots, you can expect that these lower compression balls won’t go as far for the faster swing speed player. 

It would be simple if fast swing speed players could use a low compression ball and bomb it, but that is, of course, not the way that golf works. 

Why Does Golf Ball Compression Matter

Golf ball compression has a big impact on the length of the shot that you can hit. Let’s face it, distance matters. 

All golfers should be thinking about the golf ball they choose in terms of its impact on their game. Don’t choose golf balls simply because of the price. 

There are performance factors that will greatly impact you based on the technology incorporated into the golf ball. 

Low and high compression golf balls can travel a long distance. However, if you want to get the most distance out of your shots, you must use a golf ball that has a compression rating that will match your golf game. 

High swing speed players that are looking for distance need to choose a high compression golf ball. 

Slower swing speed players looking for distance need a low compression golf ball. 

The higher the compression rating, the harder the feel of the golf ball. When you play with something that has a harder feel, expect that it’s going to impact performance on the putting green the most. 

Take a look at the video below to see how Titleist develops golf ball compression:

Soft feel golf balls are great, but they can sometimes get a bit too soft or even mushy feeling, and that makes it hard for players to adjust their shots. 

Pricing/Ball Category 

The price of golf balls will range from anywhere around $20 a dozen to more than $50 a dozen. 

Although compression and pricing are not directly tied to each other, typically speaking, the higher compression golf balls are the expensive type of golf ball . 

One of the things that can add to the compression rating of a golf ball is the number of layers the ball has. With three or even four layers of performance , the pricing of the golf ball increases. 

When pricing goes up and compression gets higher, the result is typically a golf ball that is considered players or tour level golf ball. 

Lower compression, softer golf balls are generally geared at the higher handicap players or beginners looking for more value type golf balls. 

Golf Ball Compression Examples and Ranges

Now that you have a better idea as to the differences between low and high compression golf balls, it’s time to look at some real life examples.

Some golf balls will advertise their compression right on the packaging, while others will make you do your own research to find it. 

Piper golf balls, for example, make it super easy to find the right golf ball compression for your swing speed. See our full Piper golf ball review .

Low Compression Golf Ball (Less than 40-65)

There are no hard set guidelines on what is considered low compression and what is considered high compression. Based on the overall options on the market, we consider anything less than 65 to be a low compression golf ball. 

The lower compression balls are soft around the greens. They are typically considered distance golf balls, and most will be advertised as having a softer feel. 

In addition, low compression golf balls are often very fairly priced and have branding geared at the slower swing speed players. Seniors, women, and new players are going to have plenty of low compression golf ball choices.

Low Compression Golf Ball to Try: Callaway Supersoft

The Callaway Supersoft is perhaps one of the most well known low compression golf balls on the market. This ball has a compression rating of just 38. 

In fact, it is one of the lowest compression golf balls, not just in the Callaway lineup but in any golf manufacturer’s lineup. 

Callaway Supersoft golf balls are soft, they are relatively easy to compress, and they make a great option for a slower swing speed average golfer or even a new player. 

With the Supersoft, you may notice that there is some trouble with getting the ball to spin around the greens. This is common with a lower compression golf ball; very few have the same high spin capabilities that you see from companies like Titleist and Bridgestone. 

Overall if you are a slower swing speed golfer that wants a little more distance off the tee, the Callaway Supersoft could do the trick. 

Other Low Golf Ball Compression Examples:

• Srixon Soft Feel
• Callaway Superhot

Medium Compression Golf Ball (66-85)

Medium compression golf balls are built for the medium swing speed golfer. Many of the medium compression balls are three-piece models that have some great feel and a mix of spin and distance technology. 

Many of the medium compression golf balls are average-priced balls. Most players that switch to something like this will notice that there is a bit more spin and workability built into the golf ball. 

Players that have slightly higher swing speeds or average swing speeds will benefit the most from the medium compression golf ball. 

Medium Compression Golf Ball to Try: TaylorMade Tour Response

TaylorMade Tour Response is my favorite medium compression golf ball. The Tour Response has gone through some rigorous testing in the last few years, and it is still one of the best sellers for TaylorMade. 

Essentially TaylorMade took their impressive TP5 golf ball and eliminated a few of the layers, and they came up with the Tour Response. This is like a three piece version of the high performing five piece golf ball. 

What players got in return was a mix of feel and distance that makes this is a really great choice for a large majority of players. 

Golfers with fast swing speeds who are playing in colder weather will find that the Tour Response helps them stay within the same general distance ranges. 

In addition, slower swing speed golfers who are working on getting their speeds up a little have noticed that the TaylorMade Tour Response gives them the added spin and control boost they need. 

Other Medium Golf Ball Compression Examples:

• Wilson Triad
• Titleist Velocity

High Compression Golf Ball (85+)

High compression golf balls are the player’s golf balls. These are the most difficult to compress and require the most clubhead speed in order to hit far. 

Almost all golfers on professional tours are using high compression golf balls. The higher compression also means that they re getting a few extra layers of performance. 

The four and five piece golf balls can allow golfers long distances off the tee while still maintaining high spin rates around the green. Don’t be surprised when you start spinning your iron and wedge shots back when using a high compression golf ball. 

High Compression Golf Ball To Try: Titleist Pro V1

Perhaps the most well-known high compression golf ball in the game, the Titleist Pro V1 allows players plenty of extra distance and some of the best spin in golf. High spin shots make it easier to control where the ball lands and therefore improve overall accuracy. 

I love the Titleist Pro V1, and I know hundreds of other golfers that feel the same way. 

Of course, the pricing of a Pro V1 golf ball is the downside. The Pro V1 is one of the more expensive golf balls in the game. 

However, for golfers with high swing speeds that need extra compression, the pricing will be well worth it. 

Other High Golf Ball Compression Examples :

• Mizuno RB Tour X
• Callaway Warbird

Frequently Asked Questions

Golf ball compression is a commonly misunderstood feature of the game of golf.

Here are some of the things you should know about the compression of your golf ball before you make your next purchase. 

u003cstrongu003eWhat is a good compression for a golf ball?u003c/strongu003e

Compression is not good or bad; instead, it has to match your abilities on the golf course. A high compression golf ball, like a 90 compression ball, is best for faster swing speed players. A low compression ball around a 60 is good for slow swing speed golfers. 

u003cstrongu003eDo lower compression golf balls go further?u003c/strongu003e

Lower compression golf balls can go further if you have a slower swing speed. Golfers with high swing speeds will not hit a lower compression golf ball very far.

The compression of the Pro V1 is between 88 and 90. 

u003cstrongu003eDoes golf ball compression really matter?u003c/strongu003e

Golf ball compression only matters in the way it impacts your performance. If a golf ball has a low compression, it does not mean its low quality; it’s simply designed for a certain type of player. 

Final Thoughts 

Hopefully, you have learned enough about golf ball compression to realize that it’s worth considering before you make your next golf ball purchase.

Don’t buy something that is simply cheap, as the compression may not be enough of a match for what your golf game needs. Instead, choose golf balls that fit the specific needs of your game. 

Specifically, the faster you swing the golf club, the higher the compression you should be looking for. If you can’t find the compression of your current golf ball on the box, do a quick google search, and you should find something quite easily.

Golf Ball Compression Chart – Everything You Need To Know

• Last updated on October 20, 2021

With this article, we want to make sure you know your facts about compression.

With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to choose based on eeny miney mo. But after reading this, you will know exactly what you’re looking for.

Information and knowledge are so much more important in golf than other sports. Educating yourself will be the best way to lower your scores .

What Is Compression?

The first thing to do before choosing the proper compression is to understand exactly what compression means. This word gets thrown around a lot, but most golfers don’t understand its purpose.

Compression refers to how much the ball flexes or “smushes” against the club face at impact. When you see a slow-motion shot of a driver hitting a golf ball , it actually bends the ball. When it expands again, it’s launched off the club face.

The measurement of compression is how much the ball flexes. High compression means it does not flex as much, and low compression means it flexes a lot.

How Does It Affect Your Game?

Compression affects your game mainly off the tee . It can either help or hurt your distance. You won’t have to worry about compression on your wedges and high lofted irons as much. At those swing speeds , you’re not producing enough force to flex the ball.

Low compression balls will flex more, thus giving you more distance . High compression balls won’t flex as much but tend to provide you with more control.

How To Choose Compression?

To choose the correct compression, you must evaluate your game honestly first. Knowing how you swing the club and your strengths and weaknesses will determine the best compression for you.

Skill Level

We are all at different stages of our golfing careers. Beginners will require a much different compression than those who are more experienced.

A more skilled player will not require as much flex. They already produce the speed necessary to gain adequate distance. They are looking for more control or a softer feel around the greens.

New golfers will benefit from low compression balls to try and gain every bit of yardage they can. Control is not as big of an issue at this point in their career.

Swing Speed

Your swing speed is a significant factor when choosing compression. This will directly influence how you compress the ball and how you can take advantage of it.

No matter your skill level , if you swing at a lower speed, then a low compression ball will benefit you the most. You will be able to get the ball to flex more and thus get more distance.

At a higher swing speed, you will flex the ball no matter what compression it is. At this swing speed, it’s best to get a high compression ball that won’t flex as much. You can keep control of the ball flight more with this option.

Weather plays a huge role in how your ball reacts. Not just for compression but for other factors as well that could be a whole other article on its own. Weather affects your compression choice on a broader scale. It all depends on where you play the most.

If you play in colder weather, getting a low compression ball will help the most. At colder temperatures, the ball firms up and makes it hard. The harder it is, the more difficult a time you have trying to get it to flex.

This stands true for all levels of golfers. Even the skilled players may consider switching to a lower compression ball for a round in the cold weather. They don’t have to go to the other end of the spectrum but reducing the compression a little bit could make a huge difference on days like that.

Which Companies Focus On Compression?

Just like golf clubs , some companies place more importance on compression than others. Everyone researches differently and sees the game from a different view. This is the beauty (and the frustrating) part of the game.

Companies That Focus On Compression

Bridgestone and Wilson are the two ball makers that put the most work into getting each golfer the proper compression. Their research shows that matching your skill and swing speed to the correct compression will help you the most.

Bridgestone is at the forefront of golf ball fitting. They have developed a system to get each golfer a custom ball as close to perfect as possible. They have a vast selection of balls ranging in all types of characteristics, not just compression.

Companies That Do NOT Focus On Compression

The most notable company that does not spend time on researching the effects of compression is Titleist.

As the most popular ball in golf for over a decade, you may want to side with them and give up on this article and compression talks altogether. Before you do, it’s essential to know that they still do have different compression balls. Just because they don’t market compression the same as other companies do, doesn’t mean they neglect it entirely.

The ProV1 is a lower compression ball than their ProV1x model. Titleist chooses to focus more on feel around the greens, control with your irons, and level of spin produced.

So Which Compression Is Best For You?

Just like choosing clubs, the best way to find the right ball for you will be to test a few of them out. Use a high compression ball for a whole round, then use a low compression ball for the next. Taking a ball on the course is an accurate measure to see if it suits you or not.

If you’re lucky enough to have a Bridgestone fitting center at your local driving range, then that’s even better. You can save a lot of time and speak with a professional about your specific needs.

In general, a lower swing speed will benefit most from a low compression ball. Control is less of an issue at those speeds, and you will want to get as much distance as possible. Higher swing speed will be able to compress any ball with the speed they generate. They will be looking for more accuracy and control around the greens.

Compression Breakdown

Here is a handy chart to help you determine where you fall on the compression scale.

Swing Speed Under 85 mph — At this speed, control should not be as big of a concern as distance. These golfers will benefit most from a low-mid compression ball to squeeze every last yard possible out of your drives.

85 mph – 94mph — Here is where you can start experimenting with either low or mid compression. Monitor your ball flight and how the ball spins. Different brands come with different characteristics. Match your swing and natural tendencies as best you can by experimenting.

95 mph – 104 mph — If you fall into this category, then the low compression golf balls will start hindering your ball flight more than helping it. A mid-compression ball will probably suit you best but test some high compression balls as well.

Over 105 mph — High compression will most likely be your best option. At this speed, you will compress any ball sufficient enough to get the distance. A loss of control will offset the little distance you gain from a low compression ball. Stick to a high compression ball to get the best of both worlds.

Compression Chart

Other factors to consider when choosing a ball.

Compression is not the only thing to consider when choosing a ball. There is a lot of science that goes into making a ball so that you can find one that compliments your playing style over your entire game.

This part of the ball is highly regulated, and there are specific rules about dimple dynamics that all manufactures must adhere to.

Dimples are the main factor contributing to speed. A basic explanation is that a smooth golf ball will not travel as far because it creates more drag. A low compression ball will have its dimples closer together to try and max out the amount of distance you can get.

Dimples further away will reduce distance slightly but offer more control and less spin. This design is usually found in higher compression balls.

There are two main types of golf ball covers;

Surlyn — This is the firmer of the two and will be found on range balls and other low compression balls. It has been used since the mid-1960s and offers low spin and lots of durability.

Urethane — More commonly seen in higher-end balls, urethan is softer. It offers much more control around the greens as it has a softer feel to it. For playing fast and hard greens, this will be the best option.

The core drives compression, which refers to the overall density and firmness of the ball. Higher compression balls are generally for more experienced golfers with faster swing speeds.

Golf balls briefly transform shape at impact, and the core needs to support this energy transfer. Golfers with slower swing speeds looking to gain distance tend to lean toward lower compression golf balls. They will maximize the spring-like effect created through impact.

Some companies choose not to acknowledge compression, but we think it should at least be considered, especially if you are a more skilled player looking to get your ball flight as optimized as possible.

Even if you are a beginner, we hope you now understand compression and how it can help you.

Ultimately nothing can replace practice. Having more experience will also work to your advantage. Hopefully, when the topic of compression is brought up at the 19th hole, you will be able to join the conversation.

Wilson New Releases for 2024

Looking to learn what you need to know about the latest new products from Wilson ? These handy thumbnails will keep you up to date on the company's new releases across all club and ball catetgories.

Drew Meredith

Wilson Staff Model RB Utility iron: Wilson sought input from its staff of professionals to get the ideal aesthetics for this hollow-bodied, long-iron alternative, and those visual accents also led to a more forgiving design. With elite professionals Padraig Harrington and Kevin Kisner offering guidance on what they were looking for, the RB Utility features a thinner topline that allowed for saved weight to be redistributed low and in the toe for both an easier launch and more forgiveness on mishits. The face insert is made of a high-strength C300 steel alloy. 18, 21, 24 degrees. Available July 9.

Wilson Staff Model golf balls (2024): Wilson’s Staff Model golf ball not only has received an update, but gets a twin as well. Previously a single model, now the balls come in the standard Staff Model and a firmer Staff Model X. Both are four-piece, cast-urethane construction with an emphasis on delivering low spin off the tee and high spin around the greens. The Staff Model has a mid-compression core for a slightly softer feel and flatter trajectory. The Staff Model X has a compression of 104 and is the firmest ball in Wilson’s entire line and produces added height on approach shots. Wilson engineers tested prototypes with its advisory staff members and the following tour players have put the ball in play: Brendan Steele, John Augenstein, Quade Cummins, Ricky Barnes, Martin Trainer and Willie Mack III. “The fact that we have tour players making the switch to play our Staff Model balls speaks volumes to the favorable numbers they are obtaining on launch monitors,” said Frank Simonutti, global director of golf ball Innovation. “Elite golfers looking for higher velocity and spin will benefit from the X ball while the new Staff Model will be the perfect choice for golfers who generate enough spin on their own.” The Staff Model and Staff Model X will be available at retail in both white and yellow colors starting Jan. 12 at $50 a dozen.

Wilson Staff Model CB, Blade irons: Wilson Golf has consistently evolved its approach to players irons, resulting in a string of well-received models, most recently the Staff Model CB and Staff Model blades. Both receive an upgrade; however, the primary idea was to do so as a family of irons rather than individual models, making it easier to blend sets as better players are often inclined to do. That meant both irons feature common lines and weighting, similar aesthetic details and parallel performance attributes. The face milling on both allows for longer ball-to-face contact for more consistent spin.  $1,200 for a seven-piece set in steel (4-PW with 2- and 3-irons available through custom order)
