Ball Compression and Spin - Golf ball manufacturers have made outrageous advancements in golf ball development in just the last 15 years. In years past, the rule of thumb was that better players used high compression golf balls. Nowadays, golf ball companies are making low compression golf balls that are being used by all levels of golfers. You can now take advantage of a ball that gives you maximum distance and low spin with your driver while giving you more spin and feel with your wedges. One golf ball manufacturer is the lone rebel in this area. They maintain that compression has no bearing at all on ball performance. Perhaps they are making this statement with professional players in mind. For me at least, I believe that compression does indeed have an effect on both distance and feel.
