To transfer the energy from your swing into the actual shot, your golf ball needs to compress at impact. This is why it’s so important that we take your swing speed into consideration when fitting you for the right golf ball.

The right compression will help you increase distance, but it’s all about finding the right amount for your swing. Too little or too much compression and you’ll actually lose distance.

Generally speaking, if you have a slow to moderate swing speed then a ball with a softer core will aid compression, helping you get the increased distance you’re after. And if you have a higher swing speed, a ball with a harder core is probably better for you.
