Golf ball selector

The right golf ball is a swing-speed and short-game match, not a matter of which one a tour pro plays. Three questions and you’ll have an honest recommendation with a live price.

1. How far do you carry your driver?
2. Do you spin your wedges to stop the ball?
3. What’s your ball budget?

Answer the three questions above and we’ll match a ball to your game — with a live price. No email, no sign-up.

How this works

There are only three things that really decide which ball suits you, and this tool asks about each:

  • Swing speed (via driver carry) decides the compression you want. Slower swings gain distance from a lower-compression ball; compression explained covers why.
  • Short gamedecides whether a urethane cover’s greenside spin is worth paying for. If you don’t spin your wedges, you can’t use it.
  • Budget — factored honestly against how many balls you lose. A premium ball you drown is money gone; see are expensive golf balls worth it.
