I play the Callaway Supersoft. For $24.99/dzn you really can't beat them. Should I be playing them with a 118-120mph club head speed in my driver? Probably not but I love the way they feel off all my clubs...especially my wedges and putter. Just the right about of stopping power on the green and spin for my game. They shouldn't work...but they do. Thanks for sharing...another nice video from ya.

I am solid on this one. QStar Tour for a majority of my game. If I know I am gonna need some shape, Srixon Z Star. Both are very similar, one is long, straight, feels great, and stops (Qstar Tour), and the Zstar does all that, but with more sidespin. Most of the time, though, QST is all you need

I play the discontinued Volvik S3. The compression is 85 and feels very similar to a Pro V1 which was my previous game ball. The AVX, at 80, has never been long off the driver for me. The Pro V1X can be long some days but is usually too spinny into greens for me.

[@zahimiibrahim3602]

Interesting and well done, thank you. If I may add, I think a large number of mid-handicappers and seniors like me swing between 90-95mph with driver and 70-75mph with 7 iron, and that would be good swing speeds to test if you intend to do similar in future. Liked and subscribed.

[@TKGolfYT]

I would do another one like this in the future I think 🤔 where my test fell short was the fact I was using the same still shaft with the different swing speeds 😊 so I’ll factor that in in the future! Thank you 😊

[@jonasmauritzson872]

Interesting! I am a slow swinger and have tested all the balls in your test. For me Callaway is shortest of them of the driver…and around the greens almost not playable. Srixon is a rather good ball for me. Titleist is possibly the longest of them, but shorter of the irons. I like the spin though, but I prefer a softer ball…like Srixon. For me Titleist AVX is the longest and best overall ball. Great feel! Maybe a little low flight. TaylorMade Tour Response fly higher, but is shorter from tee. There is a lot more than compression to consider, such as feel/sound, flight, spin and look. And price. And brand, possibly.

[@TKGolfYT]

That is interesting! What swing speed do you have with the driver? 🤔 I’ve really enjoyed the srixons. After the testing I did for the other video, I’ve put the Z-Star XV in the bag 💪🏻 All of those factors need to be considered as well of course!

If you’re not too worried about distance, you can creep your way up in compression. The harder the golf ball, the more it will spin for you (as a rule) 😊 but too hard and you’ll start to lose performance.

[@danielcohen3159]

I appreciate your effort and time in putting this test together! Subscribed. I've played all three of these balls and about a hundred others. These results fit with what I've seen - a little more distance off the tee with a firmer ball, but a lot more distance with every single other club with the softer ones. I'm in the low-mid speed - 95ish with driver, 7-iron is high 70s. I'm a 4.4 hcp (at the moment). I will say that I've never had trouble stopping the Supersoft or similar soft balls on greens - even pretty firm greens. But this may be because you were swinging at slower speeds with what I'm guessing are stiff or xstiff shafts - which would produce a pretty flat flight at low speed. I'm playing a very light, high-launching regular steel shaft. Having said all that, I've been gaming the Left Dash for a few weeks and I'm liking that ball quite a bit, too!

[@TKGolfYT]

Thank you Daniel! Appreciate the feedback and support! I think that’s the biggest issue with this test, I use my own clubs which are stiff. Which would have an effect on the flight and numbers like you said 😊 I might repeat the test one day but with different golfers at various speeds 🤔

[@hh0676]

Thanks for doing this am a just under mid speed but use Supersoft now knowing what it does for me. Low shots with any club even chips run out more than other balls and high shots have that good declination and hold greens, just have to make sure you do not mishit given this and can take advantage of it. What u are showing is that at the higher levels of mid speed there might be loss in Driver distance versus higher compression balls, Also putts going downhill can run out more but uphill the soft cover requires a little more roll/hit. FYI

[@TKGolfYT]

I think the SuperSoft is one of the best balls out there for someone around your swing speed 😊 even a bit slower, that ball is great! 💪🏻

[@Pwrcritter]

My driver swing is 85mph. I'm leaning tword a softer ball? Suggestions?

[@TKGolfYT]

If you want a premium ball, the Callaway chrome soft would work well 🤔 cheaper golf balls that should work well would be the Srixon q-star or Taylormade tour response 😊

[@fretless05]

One part of the data that you didn't share was the standard deviations for each data-point. The reason I was hoping to look at that was that I'm playing too soft a ball (accidentally ordered Vice Pro Soft instead of Pro) and am finding that my distance control has seemed to be worse than it used to be when I played the Cut Grey (switched to Vice because Cut was out of stock). I did change my swing a bit to help protect my aging back, but I still have to wonder if the much lower compression can lead to more dispersion front to back with a faster swing. From your testing, it seems that, even if someone loves the feel of a soft ball, they really lose performance if they have decent swing speed... I need to move up the chart one the Golf Sidekick post.

[@TKGolfYT]

I think standard deviation is something I should include more in my test results actually 🤔 thanks for pointing that out. I will say though, the motivation to creat this video came from me trying to save some money and buying a dozen Callaway supersofts to play with. I was flying every green with a wedge or iron in hand. But every so often, one would go the distance I was expecting. To me, that suggests that the front and back dispersion with a softer ball was bad. But, that could don’t to build quality as well. There aren’t a lot, if any, premium golf balls that are on really soft end of the spectrum.

[@fretless05]

@@TKGolfYT Your statement on build quality is an interesting thought, though there are expensive soft balls (Like Chrome Soft) though I don't know if they're good or selling the name. In any case, it appears Vice is no longer making the Pro Soft ball, so I won't be buying them again! Since my driver speed is 100-105, I think I'd do much better with a higher compression ball and, hopefully, it'll help with my distance control.

Great stuff except for one thing. Urethane covers make a huge difference when chipping and putting, and with stopping short irons on the greens. I find the ionomer covers are far too hard (great for distance with driver and durability), the surlyn are softer but they dont stop or check as well as the urethane covered balls. Maybe do a similar test of urethane balls versus ionomer/surlyn balls? IMO the slower swing players like me, need high launching balls and with a urethane cover. Those who run the ball onto the greens and rarely chip, do not need Urethane balls - the rest of us do as long as they dont lose balls every round ((too expensive).

[@TKGolfYT]

That’s a very interesting insight 🤔 I figured the type of cover would matter more around the green, never considered that it could effect distance etc 🤔

[@AussieBob999]

@@TKGolfYT Yes indeed it does - I have tried nearly every urethane ball on the market (retired). With my swing speed 92-96 mph the softer urethane ones spin way too much with the driver, but are great with the 7-PW. Whereas the harder/pro urethane ones are great with the driver, but I lose 10-14 years with the 7-PW. The Pro/hard ones chip best - they stop so quickly so you can throw it right up to the pin.

Amazing video than you mate! Just a quick question, looking at that chart I have a compression of Low 70's (72/73 ish) but a swing speed of around 90/91 mph ... would you buy based on the swing speed on that chart or compression, as there is no range that fits both there.

[@TKGolfYT]

Thank you mate 😊 So, something in the range of a Srixon Q-Star would be decent. Great price and deals for them as well. If your budget is a little higher, a Chrome Soft would be great or Titleist AVX if you wanted to be a bit rogue and go for an over looked ball 💪🏻😊

As a rule of thumb, they correlate 😊 so the slower the swing speed, the lower compression needed 😊 for a 90mph driver swing, you should aim for a ball between 75-85 compression for the best results.

[@TKGolfYT]

I’ll be honest, I haven’t heard of that rule of thumb before. For example, the compression rate of that ball 😊 but further to that, spin rate, club delivery etc I don’t believe a blanket ratio like that can be applied for all golfers 🤔

[@miriamdalglish4072]

I've a slow swing speed but play pro v1 which I like the feel off. Its not hard nor soft. Is that OK as I don't feel the soft balls don't go as far as prov1 plus soft balls aren't as good when it comes to putting. I'm OK to play the provisional 1

[@TKGolfYT]

That’s fair enough 😊 I think this video and articles written about the subject of compression are mainly guidelines 😊 My theory is that there is a ball within a persons correct compression that feels right to them as well 😊 might be worth having a go with some different balls, maybe some you haven’t tried 🤔 The prov 1 will always be available to you if you don’t find something else 💪🏻

[@mikerodrick2430]

The slower your swing speed, the softer the ball should be. I believe Wilson makes a 35 that should be used by seniors & those with speeds 75-80 with driver. Slower swings can't compress the ball as needed with higher compressions. Obviously, faster swings need higher compressions.

@@TKGolfYT urethane cover or not has the most impact on spin, not compression. I have my own simulator and have done my own testing.

[@TKGolfYT]

I agree, urethane cover makes a big difference. But to say compression has nothing to do with spin is wild 🤷🏼‍♂️ a pro v1, a pro v1x and a -pro v1x all have a urethane cover, All designed to spin differently, All have different compression numbers 😊

@@TKGolfYT there is some confusion that you think I'm asking questions.

[@TKGolfYT]

You gave your two cents, I was just giving mine 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

What golf ball is best for me? I find so many when I play that I use them until I lose them! Or until they get beat up. I play from layouts that are about 6,000 yards and my handicap is around 12. Happy golfing! ⛳🏌

Hi Patrick! It’s all about your swing speed to be honest! What sort of speed you swinging your driver? 🤔 I think we all play with balls we’ve found to be honest 😂 just the way it is 🤷🏼‍♂️ but if you can stick to a certain ball when you buy, and it’s the right ball for you, you’ll sneakily lower your handicap over time 😊
