What is compression – and why does it matter?
Compression is the measurement of how much a golf ball deforms when a load is applied to it. Compression may not affect distance as much as golfers think – due to changes in golf ball construction techniques over the years, but it does offer control and feel options to the golfer. While “feel” is sometimes considered a subjective term – we have found that a golf ball’s cover hardness and overall compression do relate to how the golf ball feels when struck with a driver, mid-iron, wedge, and even off the putter on the green.
