Insight into how a golf ball comparison is done

You need to get yourself a golf ball comparison if you want peak performance. Just like picking the proper golf clubs, choosing the correct ball is a matter of matching the different types of balls with your style of play and your swing. Wait, aren't all golf balls the same, you ask? Golf balls may be small, but they are one of the most engineered pieces of golf equipment.
Different balls have different feels, different densities, and different spins. Some of this results from the many types of cover materials out there. Some results from the materials and densities of the inside of the golf ball. You want to match every facet of the golf ball with your levels of skill and your tendencies.
First, you want to choose the right compression golf ball. This is a measurement of how tightly wound the ball. The compression comes into play especially when it depends on your swing speed. If you have a slower swing speed, for instance, you'll want a lower compression. The faster your speed, the higher the compression you'll want.
Overall, the compression ratings are broken down into three groupings. There's the 80 compression balls. These tend to be the softest, so they produce what is essentially a sling shot effect when you hit them. They fly farther, but they are harder to control. For their distance alone, though, these balls tend to be gobbled up by women, senior, and junior players.
The next compression rating is 90. Because they are middle of the road – soft enough to provide distance even on a slower swing, but hard enough to provide better control – these golf balls work for most male players in a golf ball comparison. They are also great choices for more advanced female players.
The last compression rating is 100. Because these are the hardest balls, they require fast swing speeds for top performance. This factor, and their high level of control, make them perfect fits for low handicap and scratch players.
Of course, feel free to do your own golf ball comparison. Take a few of each compression out to a driving range and test them out for yourself to see which works best for you.
