It’s the stuff that’s literally hidden beneath the cover. It’s the part of the equation that speaks to the build quality how well a ball is made and whether the manufacturer can produce that same ball over and over again. Seldom, it seems, do golfers consider the quality spec. Most every golfer focuses on the performance spec: speed, launch, spin – stuff we can all see to some degree. One of the many insights gleaned from last year’s ball test is that every ball has two sets of specifications. In some respects, Ball Lab is even more exciting because we’re seeking to uncover the kind of things that are almost impossible for golfers to discover on their own. I haven’t been this excited about an initiative since we committed to large-scale, data-driven golf club testing nearly a decade ago. While the goal remains the same, today we’re announcing a different kind of testing program. Their purpose is to help golfers identify the best products for their game.

In summary, professionals and amateurs with good control may enjoy golf balls ratedĪt 100, whereas most golfers may be comfortable with balls rated at 80 to 90.

Professional and expert players who want the highest level of control off the tee and with the irons,Īnd who want the softest feel around the greens.The conclusions were, if you take different rated golf balls which have the same construction, aerodynamics, and cover material, and use an automatic golf swing machine such as the Iron Man, the yardage difference between the balls hit were negligible, less than two yards (this information provided by StrictlyGolf). There have been several published texts to prove that golf ball compression relates more to feel and your own superstition than its performance. Player’s ability to work the ball, “shape” shots, and hold greens, however, there isĪ small drop in distance, accuracy, and durability, although some have argued that this The better player to maneuver the ball around the course. Lower compression-rated golf balls offer higher spin rates, greater feel and control.īecause it is softer, the ball remains in contact with the club face longer, which allows Players who are prone to hook or slice.Players whose primary concern is distance.Provides accuracy, but restricts “shape” shots. Because harder golf balls do not make as much contact with theĬlub face as softer balls, they have less “feel” and spin at lower rates, a feature that These balls come off the club “hotter”, with increased distance both off the tee andįrom the fairway. Higher compression-rated golf balls offer greater distance, accuracy, and durability. Used for its cover, inner layers, and core contribute to a ball's overall rating. The construction of a golf ball and the materials Golf ballsĪre typically rated 80, 90, or 100 (plus or minus 3-5 points). A rating of 200 indicates that theīall does not compress, whereas a rating of 0 indicates a deflection of 2/10ths of an inch or more. Of an inch of deflection in a ball under load applied by a standard weight. Industry, compression is rated on a scale of 0 (softest) to 200 (hardest), where each point represents 1/1000th Words, the degree to which a golf ball's shape changes when subjected to a compressive load. Harder golf balls will have less face contact whereas softer balls will have more.Ĭompression is a measure of a golf ball's foot-pound resistance pressure to compressive stresses, or in other The point of impact, the ball flattens and more of its surface comes into contact with the club face. To the left shows that a golf ball undergoes compression and is deformed when struck by the face of a club (theīall is being struck from the left the club face is light gray in color and to the left of the ball).
