Golf Ball Compression Chart & Rank 2024

Golf Ball Compression Chart and Rank

Everything You Need To Know About Golf Ball Compression

For detailed articles about golf ball compression, explore the tabs above. To find the compression rating of a specific golf ball, explore the chart below. (You will also find some great info below this chart)

Of all the variables that determine a golf ball’s performance, compression may be the most mysterious. What, exactly, is compression? It’s a measurement of how much a ball compresses against the clubface at impact, expressed as a simple number (e.g. 75 or 100). If you’ve seen photos or slow-motion video of the moment of impact, you’ve seen the ball compress or smush against the clubface. The ball launches as this compression is released.

Sounds simple enough, and it is… on the surface. There’s at least some disagreement, however, on the role of compression in how a particular ball performs for different golfers.

In recent years, manufacturers like Bridgestone and Wilson have put a major emphasis on compression, with the goal of fitting each golfer with the ball best suited to his swing speed and skills . The idea is that golfers with slower swing speeds have an easier time compressing a lower-compression (softer) ball, therefore getting more distance than they can with a high-compression tour model .

It stands to reason that a softer ball will compress more than a high-compression ball, right? Most analysts think so. And nearly every company makes golf ball models of different compression ratings aimed at golfers of different swing speeds.

The lone dissenter: Titleist . The world’s No. 1 golf ball manufacturer insists compression isn’t important when fitting golfer to golf ball. Titleist argues that there’s little discernible difference in how much a tour pro and a rank amateur compress the ball, regardless of the ball’s compression rating. Instead, Titleist focuses on feel, backspin, accuracy, trajectory and greenside responsiveness in its fitting recommendations.

So who’s right, and who’s wrong? As of early 2014, there’s no definitive answer. But most of those in-the-know tend to sway toward the compression matters camp.

For the sake of argument, let’s assume they’re correct.

Which Compression is Right for You?

Should you play a high-compression ball (rated 90-plus), a mid-compression ball (66 – 89) or a low-compression ball (65 or less)? That depends on your performance preferences. But let’s assume that, like most amateurs, driving distance is a key concern.

If you swing the driver at 105 mph or faster: You’ll generate good distance from any ball. While you may get a few extra yards from a mid- or low-compression model, you could also hit it too high with excess spin, resulting in a lack of control. Your best bet – a high-compression tour or premium model .

If you swing between 85 – 104 mph: On the higher end of this range (95 – 104 mph), a low-compression ball could create control issues. Your best bet likely lies among the mid-compression models. On the lower end (85 – 94 mph), control should be less of an issue if you pick a low-compression ball. Still, a mid-compression model could be a better fit.

If you swing slower than 85 mph: Definitely try a few low-compression golf balls. Compare them against each other, and against some mid-compression varieties. In this swing speed range, control isn’t a huge issue – but every yard matters. There are plenty of distance golf balls that could serve your needs well.

To be sure, compression isn’t the only factor affecting a golf ball’s length. Its core, cover and mantle materials have an impact, as do dimple shapes and patterns. And, just because you hit Ball A farther than Ball B doesn’t necessarily make A your best bet. You may prefer the flight and spin characteristics of B, or simply like the way it feels coming off the club.

In other words, compression isn’t the be-all, end-all of golf ball fitting. But it is a variable you should take into account.

Basically, the ‘compression’ rating of a golf ball is a number that relates to that ball’s ability to be compressed. Low compression golf balls require less force to have their size compressed than do high compression golf balls. When you hit a golf shot, the ball is actually deformed for a fraction of a second at impact. This happens far too quickly to be seen live, but it can easily be observed with the use of a high-speed camera. The ball is ‘squished’ up against the club face before restoring to its usual round shape as it launches off into the air. If golf balls were too hard to be compressed, they wouldn’t fly very far at all – imagine hitting a rock with your club, and think about how far it would go (and how much it would hurt your hands). Golf ball compression is important because it provides the ‘spring’ that allows golfers to hit the ball 250 yards or more.

So, which is better, low compression golf balls or high compression golf balls? If only it were that easy. As you might suspect, the right golf ball for each individual is going to vary on a number of factors. Some players are going to be better served with a low compression ball, while others need to use high compression. The process of determining which ball is right for you doesn’t need to be too difficult, but it will take a little time and some critical thinking. Once you figure out which golf ball compression is going to be right for your swing and your game, you can move on to solving other problems and continuing to lower your scores.

When looking at golf ball compression ratings, it is important to understand the scale that is used. Ratings in the range of 70 and below represent softer golf balls with a low compression rating. From the 70-90 range is what would usually be considered a medium compression golf ball. High compression golf balls are those that are rated at 90 and above. It should be noted that the compression is only one aspect of the overall ‘feel’ of a golf ball, so you might not be able to tell the difference between compression ratings just by hitting a couple shots. It is possible for an 80 compression ball to feel similar to a 90 compression depending on the other characteristics of the ball.

If you are able to get a grasp on what is meant by golf ball compression ratings, and how they affect the performance of the ball, you should have an easier time picking out the right golf ball for you. Of course, it is always best to test golf balls out on the course when you have the opportunity before buying a full dozen of them to add to your bag. Use compression, along with other factors, to create a list of possible options for your game and then test them each out one by one.

You might be surprised to learn, then, that the pros actually play high compression golf balls. Why would they do that? If they want to blast it off the tee and reach the par fives in two, shouldn’t they be using a low compression ball? No. The average professional golfer doesn’t need any help hitting the ball farther than they already do, so they use high compression balls because of the control they offer. Soft golf balls can become extremely difficult to control when they are hit at high speeds, so pros use high compression balls that they can successfully manage around the course.

It comes down to a balancing act when trying to figure out which compression is going to be right for you. Maximizing distance is always appealing, but it won’t do you any good if it comes at the expense of your accuracy. You need to find that ‘sweet spot’ where you are getting good distance off the club face but the ball is still going where you expect it to (for the most part). This is very similar to the game that you have to play when picking out a shaft for your driver – soft enough to get distance, firm enough to maintain control. Technology in the way of club and ball fitting can help you answer these questions to a point, but you will also need to do some trial and error until you are sure of your decision.

The best way to start is by thinking about the ball you are using currently on the course. Find out what compression rating that ball has, and think about the performance that you have been getting from it. Are you happy with the ball flight? Do you think the distance is acceptable, or should the ball be going farther based on the swing you are making? Doing some golf ball compression comparison shopping with other balls on the market will give you the chance to try out some other models before deciding whether or not you need to switch. Remember, just like with any other equipment in your game, it will take some time to adjust to a new golf ball. If you have a club tournament or other important round coming up, it might be best to wait until after that is over to experiment with new golf balls.

Following are three things to look out for as warning signs that you are playing the wrong compression.

• Lacking distance compared to your playing partners. If you are golfing regularly with the same group of friends and notice that your ball seems to fall short of theirs on a consistent basis, take a look at what golf balls they are using. Do a golf ball compression comparison between your ball of choice and theirs to see what the difference might be. It could be that they simply have a higher swing speed than you do, and therefore are outdriving you. However, if the swing speeds are similar, it could be an equipment problem.
• Ball flight that is too high. One sure sign that you are using a golf ball with a compression rating that is too low is a ball flight that climbs exceedingly high into the air. There is nothing wrong with hitting a high ball flight, but there is a limit to how high you can hit the ball productively. At some point, the extra height just means there is too much backspin on the shot, and you will be losing distance and control over the shot. When a golf ball is too soft for your swing speed, it will spin at a high rate and the results will not be desirable.
• Ball flight that is too low. At the same time, a ball that is too hard will result in a flat ball flight because you don’t possess the necessary swing speed to compress the ball properly. Some harder golf balls will lead to quickly diminishing returns for players with low swing speeds that can’t really compress the ball on the face of the club to create that spring-like effect. If your best swing leads to a shot that is low and flat flying through the air, look to find a softer golf ball that will help you create some backspin and some loft on the shot.

Once you start to suspect that your golf ball compression is wrong and it is costing you on the course, you should immediately look at alternatives that could improve performance. The best idea is to start within the same brand of golf ball that you are currently using by trying their other models. Most golf ball companies have a range of compressions within their product line, from balls meant for beginners on up to their tour-level ball. Move up or down that spectrum depending on your needs and see if that solves the problem. If there isn’t a proper choice within the product line of the current company you are using, feel free to shop around until you find something that works.

Remember that your golf ball should perform properly off of all of your clubs, not just the driver. You want to be able to hit long and straight drives off the tee as frequently as possible, but you also need to hit good iron shots with the same ball. The right choice is going to be the one that provides you with a good ball flight no matter which club you are using, or what kind of shot you are trying to hit. Simply picking the ball and the compression that gives you the most distance off the tee might not leave you with a ball that optimizes iron play performance. Again, it is a balancing act. Make sure you take all clubs into the though process before making a final choice.

For most golfers, softer compression is going to equal more spin and a higher ball flight. Look in this direction if you live in a dry and warm climate where the weather is ‘golfer-friendly’ most of the year. You won’t mind launching the ball high into the air because the conditions are good, and you will appreciate the stopping power that the ball has when it comes down on the green. Playing a hard golf ball on hard conditions is going to require a specifically high club head speed in order to spin the ball enough to maintain control.

Those of you living in cooler and wetter climates want to take the opposite approach and consider using a harder ball. Most players will have a lower ball flight with a harder ball, which is helpful because cool and wet climates tend to have other adverse weather conditions to deal with on the course, such as wind. When the weather turns ugly, you want to be able to keep the ball as close to the ground as possible throughout the day.

In reference to course conditions are strategy, there are a few other tips that could benefit you when picking out the right golf ball compression for your game.

• What kind of course do you play? In addition to the weather conditions in your area, you can also think about the style of golf course that you play and what shots work best on that layout. Courses that have small, well-guarded greens will usually be best handled by high spin golf balls. For courses with large greens and plenty of room to run the ball up onto the green, a lower ball flight might be just fine.
• What style of golf you do you play? Different golfers have different styles, and the golf ball you use should match your style. If you game is based around the short game, make sure your ball choice suits your short game technique and that you are comfortable putting and chipping it. If you are a power-first type of golfer, use a ball that helps you achieve as many yards as possible off the tee.
• What are your goals in golf? The vast majority of low handicap players, along with professionals, use a high compression golf ball because of the control and versatility that they offer. If you have designs on getting your handicap down into the low single digits, consider using a high compression ball even if it isn’t optimal at first. You can work on your game and ‘grow into’ the ball over time. However, if you are just hoping to shave a couple strokes but don’t expect to ever be a low single digit handicap player, a softer ball may work just right.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to picking out a golf ball. You need to take into consideration a great number of variable, in addition to trying so different models for yourself. Only when you have reviewed all of the options on the market and thought about the kind of game you want to play will you be able to make the right choice.

Most golfers are going to appreciate the feel of a soft cover more than a firm one when it comes to the short game. A soft cover will allow you to be more aggressive with your short game strokes and put a little more backspin on your chips and pitches. While this is the common preference among most golfers, you don’t have to agree if you have a different feel for your shots. Try various golf balls until you find ones that perform just right on your short shots – even if it isn’t the one that is the most popular pick among other golfers at your local course.

Try the following tests to settle on the right golf ball for your short game –

• Stopping power test. Take three different golf ball models to the practice chipping green and place them on the fairway cut of grass. Pitch each ball 10 or 15 yards onto the green and see how quickly they stop after landing. It will probably take a few trials until you can get a definitive result as to which ball spins the most for you on your pitch shots. Usually, you will want to use the ball that spins the most on these shots so you can get up and down from more places.
• Short putt test. Making short putts is often about having the right feel between your putter face and the ball. You want to be confident in how the ball is going to leave the face and roll toward the hole. Try hitting a series of short putts with each of the three different ball models you used in the test above. See which ball you can make the most putts in a row with, and which ball feels the best coming off of your putter.
• Bunker shot test. Don’t forget to evaluate how the ball is going to react when you play shots from the bunker up onto the green. Hit shots with all three golf ball models you are considering and make careful note of how the ball reacts when it lands and rolls out on the green.

None of these tests individually are going to tell you which ball you should use. Instead, you will have to take the results from all of them, along with the ball flights that you are getting, before you can pick a winner.

RZN Golf Ball Review

Nike exited the hard goods business in 2016, but the original manufacturer of the RZN balls has brought them back to live (and store shelves).

When Nike exited the golf hard goods business in 2016, fans of the Nike golf ball with “RZN” technology grabbed all of the remaining balls that they could, fearful that the ball would never be seen again.

It’s not often that truly new things happen in the golf ball industry. The last may have been the switch to the solid-core ball at the premium level, started by Top-Flite, strongly pushed by Titleist, and now the realm of everyone including direct-to-consumer brands like Snell or Vice. A strong case could be made for the introduction of Nike’s “resin” technology, which isn’t constructed quite like other golf balls.

As best as I can tell, Nike produced balls with Bridgestone for a number of years, but introduced the resin ball produced by Feng Tay Enterprises since 2006 .

So, fans of Nike’s later golf balls rejoiced, and the rest of the world? Well, I suppose we were interested to see if the golf world had moved on from 2016, or if Nike was truly on to something that was reborn in the RZN.

Read on to find out what we thought of the RZN HS-Tour and MS-Tour balls.

Design, Technology, and Esthetics

RZN says that their ball, compared to a typical rubber core golf ball, is both “lighter and faster.” The ligher resin core promotes a higher moment of inertia (MOI), which RZN says “grants the ball with a piercing and stable flight, especially in windy conditions.” Speaking from a physics perspective, a higher MOI ball (with more weight toward the perimeter of the ball) would spin less, but would maintain spin a bit longer into the flight.

As seen in the marketing materials from Nike and now RZN, the balls feature a “3D texture” on the resin core that helps “maximize surface contact for better energy transfer and longer distance.” This 3D texturing not only connects the core to the mantle, but the mantle layers to the cover, too.

The RZN balls have two more features worth noting. First, the company claims that the balls have “13,558 micro-dimples on the entire ball surface” that “reduces air drag and enhances carry distance.” You’ve likely seen Bridgestone balls with “dimple-in-dimple” designs designed to do the same things, and while I couldn’t particularly see these micro-dimples, I trust that at some microscopic level they could result in whole inches added to your tee shots. Penultimately, RZN claims that their balls’ “soft TPU cover enhances grip and control in wet conditions” by eliminating slipping (the ball riding up the club face). If true, this may have put Bryson DeChambeau’s water spritzer guy out of work.

Finally, RZN also calls their golf ball cores “nature-caring with fully recyclable materials.” And, though the odds of recycling golf balls is probably pretty slim, it’s important not to overlook manufacturing waste in considering recycling efficiency.

As for the looks, to be honest, the balls fall down here. The two balls feature a logo, a number, and the ball model all on both hemispheres, with a multi-line alignment feature on one “side” along the equator. The HS-Tour features red text for the model name and number, while the MS-Tour is black.

Several fellow golfers commented on the logo and alignment line, with one calling them “bargain bin graphics.” I couldn’t strongly disagree. On one hand, the graphics don’t really matter – ball performance should dictate whether you like the ball at all. And, to be sure, there is a natural bias in a ball not saying “Titleist” or “Callaway” on it. Other logos are bound to “look” cheaper because golfers simply aren’t used to seeing these fonts or these logos on high-performance balls. On the other hand, how you feel about the product you’re looking down at or playing can influence play.

As for me, well, I didn’t like the logos at all. The font choice just does nothing for me. But, the balls were easy to identify as mine, whether in the rough or near another player’s ball. So that’s a plus. Nobody’s likely to hit my golf ball accidentally!

Performance and Playability

As noted above, we tested the MS-Tour and the HS-Tour balls, designed for medium-speed (MS-Tour) players and high-speed (HS-Tour) players.

The MS-Tour is a three-piece ball with a soft urethane cover and:

• Long Distance on ALL long Irons, Woods and Driver
• Our Lowest Compression Tour Core Formulation ?soft feel on all shots.
• Good Control all around the green
• Reduced Air Drag due to Micro Dimple Surface
• High Grip in Wet Conditions
• Bigger Alignment for easier aiming while putting

The HS-Tour is RZN Golf’s four-piece ball, with a soft urethane cover, and:

• Explosive Distance on ALL long Irons, Woods and Driver.
• Specifically forgiving on driver miss-shots due to a low driver spin.
• Control all around the green through its High Spin on short irons and wedge.

In other words, the MS-Tour is a slightly softer ball that’s going to spin a little bit more, likely off the driver and the wedges both. In testing, this bears out, though the differences in spin were often only 300-400 RPM with wedges and 100-200 RPM with the driver.

In play, this bears out, too: it’s difficult to tell which ball is which if you don’t see the red text on the HS-Tour. The balls perform very similarly to one another, and quite honestly, to virtually all other premium balls on the market.

The RZN golf ball performs really well. It’s long off the tee, it launches at a good angle. It sounds good, and spins well enough into greens. I didn’t have to adjust my game to account for more or less short game spin than I’m used to. The lighter core (and heavier outer layers) and thus higher MOI didn’t noticeably reduce spin at all. The balls still curved as much in the air and behaved predictably landing on greens, whether from a 167 yards or from a green side bunker shot or pitch.

Durability was good. I found a few cart paths, and the RZN ball didn’t scuff more than most other premium balls, despite the “soft TPU cover.” One such scuff was right on the logo, improving the appearance of the golf ball. (I kid, I kid!) I did hit one shot from a bunker that seemed to unnecessarily scrape up the ball, but given the lack of bunker maintenance due to COVID-19, I chalked it up at the time to a small rock.

One knock on the Nike RZN balls was how they’d perform in cold weather. I didn’t have the most options to test these balls in cool conditions (55° F or cooler), and I’m not a robot, but I didn’t notice any noticeable decline in performance. I didn’t play Nike’s RZN ball much prior to 2016, though, either.

I remember a story from when TaylorMade was coming out with their first tour-level ball in quite some time in the mid-2000s. Sergio Garcia was switching from his current ball to the TP ball, and kept insisting the TP wasn’t quite as good as his current ball. One day, unbeknownst to Sergio, Dean Snell (then of TaylorMade) printed his current ball’s logo on some TP balls. Sergio hit a variety of shots, and said “see, I want it to fly like that !” After awhile, Snell revealed that Sergio had been hitting the TP ball the whole time.

We hear tales all the time of players being able to detect the smallest of differences between clubs, balls, gloves, shafts… whatever. Some of them may even be true, and some may be a matter of superstition or rationalizing. What I know for certain is that we’re not at Sergio’s level, or Tiger’s, or Bryson’s, or JT’s.

In a crowded market, RZN Golf still has something unique with their resin technology and 3D textured core and mantle. The HS-Tour and MS-Tour perform just as you’d expect for a high-level, premium ball, and I recommend giving them a trial.

If you were already a fan of Nike’s RZN golf ball, I have good news for you: they’re back. They’re new and improved. They’re also a bit less expensive, though I had trouble finding a source to buy these RZN golf balls online. If you are able to find them, they should be run you about $34.99.

I live in FRANCE , I haven’t seen these balls . Where can I get them ?

Nice review. Which is closest to the Nike Tour Platinum, the 4 piece?

Yes, Ray, the higher spinning ball is more closely aligned to the Platinum. The lower spinning one is more like the Black.

What are the compressions of the MS and HS golf ball?

Live here in the US where can I buy them?

Nice review with information not found on the RZN web page (rzngolf.com). Bought and played the RZN Force and the RZN Tour (apparently being replaced by the RZN Distance and MS Tour, respectively). Both are very good golf balls. Long and straight from the tee (particularly on windy days); however, the RZN Tour is better around the greens (more spin/more control). The Force compares very well with the Bridgestone e12, and other 3-piece ionomer golf balls . The Tour compares very well with the Titleist AVX and Taylor Made Tour Response or the now retired Project (a), and other 3-piece urethane golf balls.

Thanks for your review! I started playing golf when these balls were no longer available, but I’ve heard a lot about them. And I’m glad for the news that they are back. I will definitely purchase one for myself and try it out. It’s actually true that we can tell the difference between all the clubs, balls, and if we’re given a new club in our hands there’s a 99 percent chance that it won’t work out right away. We get used to our objects and our tools, which in our hands makes the game. I had that with my shoes. It took me a long time to find the right one that I would stand on the field in and I wouldn’t have to think about the discomfort on my feet. I was lucky enough to find the best https://golfsupport.com/golf-shoes/mens-golf-shoes , and now I enjoy playing the golf I love. I look forward to purchasing this ball, I am excited to try it out.

I just tested the HS-tour. This got to be the cheapest cover layer, I’ve ever seen. Every wedge shot left deep scuff marks. I was hitting it on a simulator bay (no sand, clean face), and the ball was destroyed after 10 shots.

There is no way those are the same balls, as the Nike. They definitely cheap out, don’t waste your money.

I’m in Canada, I got them from Golftown.

RZN MS-Tour Golf Ball Review

• by Golf Reviews Guide Team
• December 6, 2020 December 6, 2020

The RZN MS-Tour ball is one of four models released as part of the return of the form Nike brand in 2020

The RZN brand was formed in 2006 and operated on a research and development relationship for Nike. Since Nike ended its golf equipment sales in 2016, RZN balls disappeared from the shelves.

Now they are back with the original developers now manufacturing the balls, with the MS-Tour model joined by the HS-Tour , Distance and Speed models.

What RZN say about the MS-Tour golf ball:

“RZN MS-Tour is a three piece tour performance golf ball with soft urethane cover and 3D speed lock technology.

“Designed with state of the art technology of the RZN Brand. Expect a soft and powerful tour ball targeted for medium swing speeds players.

“What to Expect: Long distance on all long irons, woods and driver, our lowest compression Tour Core Formulation (for) soft feel on all shots.

“Good Control all around the green, reduced air drag due to Micro Dimple Surface, high grip in wet conditions and bigger alignment for easier aiming while putting.”

RZN MS-Tour Golf Ball Design

The MS-Tour ball is one of two options in the RZN Tour range. This options has been designed for players with a medium swing speed, which is the reason for its name.

The MS ball is a three piece construction and features a low compression design to maximise distance from a soft ball.

The RZN MS ball has a urethane cover and features 3D speed lock technology to help produce the distance golfers are looking for.

Like the HS-Tour, the MS model has 13,558 micro-dimples to reduce drag and provide unrivalled carry and distances from the tee and with irons.

The alignment line on the ball has been made bigger and easy to use than in previous models under the Nike banner.

RZN MS-Tour Ball Verdict

The MS-Tour is an extremely value for money ball. If you are in the market for a soft ball at a reasonable price, this could be the answer.

RZN have come up with a ball that helps maximise distance for players specifically with a medium swing speed. You don’t have to swing hard and fast to get the most out of your game.

It is a durable ball, despite being low compression and soft, and stands up well against similar products on the market – just with a cheaper price tag.

RZN MS-TOUR GOLF BALL REVIEW

When I received the opportunity to review the RZN MS-TOUR golf balls I thought that the name rang a bell for some reason.  Then I remembered, Nike!  When Nike left the golf hard goods arena they left a lot of golfers bemoaning the loss of one of their favorite balls, the RZN.  Well the good news is that RZN is back!

RZN is now manufacturing the balls under their own label and they haven’t forgotten about us aging golfers with slower swing speeds in the process.  Enter the RZN MS-Tour.

First off, thanks to Joe Wieczorek of The Media Group, Inc for sending us the balls for review.

So, you can go to the website or look at the image on the back of the box and get the tech info.  I say, let’s bring the MS-Tour ball to Disney World Golf and see how it performs.

Let’s go for a drive!  I have to say that off the tee the MS-Tour behaves just as well as any other ‘soft’ tour ball out there.  In fact, even better in some instances.  By this I mean that when I used the driver there was really no noticeable difference in flight or trajectory, but I did pick up an extra couple of yards over another ‘pro soft’ ball that I used.  The real improvement happened on the par three holes where I used a 7 or 5 iron.  First off, the alignment stripes printed on the ball really aided in aiming the tee shot.  Second, I easily gained 5 to 6 yards off the tee with the irons!  This is great when you play a course that has elevated greens due to the simple fact that you can go right at it without worrying about overshooting the target.  Another bonus is that the confidence level goes way up when you know that even when you don’t get all of it on your swing, you still have a few extra yards built in to compensate.

From the fairways the ball shot straight and true when I needed it too.  I really believe that this is  due to the micro-dimples and anti slip urethane cover.  Again, a great confidence builder not only from the fairways, but from the rough also.  It’s nice to know that RZN has built in to the ball a way for it to basically ‘grip’ the grooves of your club.  Wedges performed just as well with the ability to stop the ball when you wanted it to; or to use a 7 iron to hit and run it across the green.  The MS-Tour is very easy to control.

On the putting surface the parallel triple lines allowed me to easily line up my putts.  There is something about the multi alignment lines that gives me a feeling of accuracy.  So, even though I had my share of three putts throughout the round, I did get the ball closer to the cup each time.  I also liked the sound of the ball off the putter.  There was a distinctive ‘click’ that you usually don’t get with other soft balls.  Let’s you know that you either struck it well or didn’t.

Now that we have a ball that has treated us well throughout the round, let’s do right by it and cut it open!

As you can see, the layers are distinctive and well balanced with good symmetry.  The RZN MS-Tour also uses a technology called ‘3D Speedlock’.  This basically allows the mantle to grab onto the urethane cover without slipping or shifting resulting in a purer transfer of energy throughout the ball.  I don’t have the camera capability to show you the micro-dimples but you can see them when you look at the ball.

In conclusion, the RZN MS-Tour is everything that you would expect from a tour quality softer ball.  Great fight and trajectory from the tee; an excellent response with fairway woods and long irons;  control around the greens and out of the bunkers; an alignment system that inspires confident putting and a great overall sound and feel from a ball that easily wurpasses the other ‘tour soft’ ball that I was playing.  Nike may have gone the way of the Do-do in the golf ball business but RZN has picked up the mantle and even surpassed it with the new technology that they infused into the RZN MS-TOUR.  

For more info and tech specs go to www.RZNgolf.com   I highly recommend that you pick up a dozen and try them out for yourself.

Stay safe and play well,

What is Golf Ball Compression?

Bridgestone, under 80 mph, between 80 and 90 mph, between 90 and 100 mph, between 100 and 110 mph, over 110 mph, experience level, swing speed, distance vs swing speed chart, golf ball layers, weather conditions, frequently asked questions (faq).

Golf Ball compressiojn is the change of shape that occurs when your club transfers energy to the ball as it makes contact. Whereas any golfer can benefit from any of the features in a golf ball, compression is the one feature dependent on your swing speed.

Golf ball compression optimizes the ball’s distance and control for a given swing speed. For this reason, this is the #1 research you should perform before you buy a golf ball.

A golf ball with a  low compression  will  compress more  when hit, assisting the golfer in transferring energy. A golf ball with high compression will require more swing speed to compress. Compression value is the same as hardness value if it helps to think of it that way.

Below is a complete golf ball compression chart for every golf ball currently available to buy in 2023. Make note of the compression rating; then, we’ll teach you how to match up the right golf ball for your swing speed.

Golf Ball Compression Charts

Golf ball compression is a measurement of how much the ball deforms when force is applied to the ball after being struck by a golf club.

It’s measured in pounds per square inch (psi) and is expressed in two ways: peak pressure and initial velocity. Peak pressure refers to the maximum amount of force exerted on the surface of the ball during impact. Initial velocity is the rate at which the ball travels after being struck.

Some golf brands measure compression of the core only and others will state compression for the entire ball. Either option is fine as long as you understand what you are reading. We prefer to see the compression values for the entire ball because it reflects more real life situations.

The Best Compression Golf Ball For Every Swing Speed

In my opinion, here are the best golf balls to buy according to your swing speed. I picked highly ranked golf balls from the golf ball compression charts above.

• Callaway Supersoft
• Taylormade Distance+
• Titleist Tour Soft
• Callaway ERC Soft
• Mizuno RB 566
• Srixon Soft Feel
• Bridgestone E12 CONTACT
• Srixon Z-Star
• Taylormade TP5
• Titleist Pro V1
• Bridgestone Tour B X
• Callaway Chrome Soft X
• Bridgestone Tour B XS
• Callaway Chrome Soft X LS
• Srixon Z-Star XV
• Titleist Pro V1x

How Do I Know Which Golf Ball to Buy?

You can use the compression rating of the golf ball above in the golf ball compression chart, along with your experience to match up the right ball to buy today.

If you are a beginner golfer and you aren’t sure where to begin, a soft golf ball with a low compression is always a good choice for you. Lower compression balls can give you more yardage off the tee box when you are just starting out.

It will be harder to shape your shots with specific draws and fades, but most beginner golfers aren’t worried about this anyway.

Scratch players generally have faster swing speeds and get good distance off of the tee already. A harder ball will ensure that you don’t actually lose energy when you hit the ball. 

If you buy a launch monitor to measure and learn what your swing speed is, then you can buy a specific golf ball that matches your speed. A good rule of thumb is that you want a compression rating that matches your swing speed in miles per hour (MPH).

In other words, as your swing speed gets faster, you want a ball that will compressesoff the tee less (a higher compression value) as you transfer energy from the club to the ball. Slower swing speeds will benefit from a softer ball.

Curious to know what your expected distance will be depending on your swing speed? A chart of typical ball distance vs swing speed is:

What Golf Ball Features Effect Compression?

Different golf ball features play an important role in compression.

Golf balls can be manufactured with between 2 to 5 layers. A 2-piece golf ball has the inner core and the outer and that’s it. A lot of softer golf balls (low compression) are 2-piece construction because it is designed with a full core that is easy to compress.

A golf ball with more layers requires you to power through more material in order to transfer energy to the middle of the golf ball. So you will see 5-piece golf balls generally be very hard with a high compression value. 

Most PGA tour players, like Bryson Dechambeau, like a multi-layer golf ball because these extra layers give them greater control and spin on their shots.

The core of the golf ball is made from injection-molded or sythesized rubber. The core has the greatest impact on how hard or soft a golf ball is. When you hit a golf ball, energy is stored and released by the core in order to propel the ball forward.

Golf ball manufacturers can alter the core by changing how dense it is. A denser core makes the ball harder, requiring more swing speed to get energy to it.

The outer cover of a golf ball is constructed of one of a few different materials:

• Surlyn – a harder plastic resin
• Urethane – a slightly softer synthetic compound

Since surlyn is a harder material, it can contribute to some extra distance and durability out of the golf ball. Urethane is a bit softer and promotes more spin and control out of your shots.

A golf ball cover has dimples added to control the spin and aerodynamics of the golf ball. The pattern and depth of the dimples can effect how much golf ball makes contact with your ball and how efficient the transfer of energy is. A complex dimple pattern can be harder to manufacture and increase the cost of a golf ball.

What External Factors Effect Golf Ball Compression?

A golf ball is not immune to the elements of the day. Keep these factors in mind when you are select the right golf ball.

When it is cold outside, a golf ball (and other objects) stiffen up. If you play a lot of early morning golf, then a softer ball with a lower compression value is preferred.

If you play at a golf course in a higher altitune, the air density will be lower and there will be less drag on the golf ball in the air. For this reason, you should look to hit a golf ball with a bit higher compression value. You will already enjoy a little extra distance and the harder ball will give you some better control at higher altitude.

How does golf ball compression affect distance?

When a golfer strikes a golf ball, he or she applies a certain amount of force to the ball. This force compresses the golf ball and causes it to deform. As the ball deforms, it becomes less spherical and its drag increases. Drag is the resistance caused by the movement of air across the surface of the ball. The greater the drag, the harder it is to propel the ball forward.

The lower the golf ball compression, the less drag there is, so the ball flies farther. A high golf ball compression rating means that the ball has been compressed to a very small size. When a golfer strikes the ball, the compressed ball rebounds back toward him or her, resulting in a shorter shot unless they have a bigger swing speed to compensate for the added compression.

Why do some golf balls have a higher compression rating than others?

The difference between golf ball compression ratings comes from the manufacturing process. Some manufacturers use a molding machine to compress the ball before it’s vulcanized. Others use a hydraulic press to compress the ball while it’s still soft. In either case, the manufacturer uses a specific number of psi to achieve a specific golf ball compression rating.

What does golf ball compression impact feel?

A high-compression ball feels firmer when struck because it allows for more deformation At impact. It is easier to control and requires a higher swing speed in order to maximize distance compared to a low-compression ball.

How does golf ball compression impact spin?

Spin is created as the ball moves through the air. Spin is affected by many factors including the type of material used in making the ball, the shape of the dimple pattern, and the amount of compression. Higher-compression balls tend to be spinnier.

Do golfers prefer a high- or low-compression ball?

Most average players like a medium-compression ball. High-compression balls offer better distance but require higher swing speeds to generate enough energy to launch them. Low-compression balls produce longer drives but they don’t fly as far.

Overall, you should match your swing speed (in MPH) with the compression rating of a golf ball in order to find a perfect match.

If you have a slow swing speed of less than 80 MPH, then try a low compression golf ball.

If you have a medium swing speed between 80 and 100 MPH,  then try a medium compression golf ball.

If you have a high swing speed between 100 and 110 MPH , then try a high compression golf ball.

If you have a tour swing speed over 110 MPH , then try a high compression golf ball with added features and more layers in order to refine the control of the ball for different kinds of shots.

Use the golf ball compression chart above to learn and understand the compression value of all of the top balls today.

Each of the top brands release a golf ball for every swing speed in order to maximize sales.

Try out a few balls in your compression range in order to find the one that suits you most. You might see a huge impact in your swing if you pick the right ball.

WYNTK: Feng Tay Enterprises based in Taiwan is a long-time supplier for Nike and in addition to several types of shoes made a portion of Nike’s golf ball line until in 2016 when Nike exited the golf equipment business. They purchased the patents for Nike’s RZN ball technology and their Adtech D&D subsidiary relaunched the RZN brand at the PGA Merchandise Show last January.

There are four ball models—HS-Tour, MS-Tour, Distance and Speed—all have a core formulated from a special resin which the company says is both lighter and faster rebounding that rubber cores plus helps create a higher moment of inertia (MOI) for more stable flight. The inner mantle of the HS-Tour and mantle of the MS-Tour have a textured surface which the company says improves energy transfer.

The dimple pattern of each model includes 13,558 micro-dimples to reduce drag and improve aerodynamics. Sold only over the Internet on the RZN Golf website .

After on-the-course testing by myself and a fellow weekend warrior we agreed the two RZN Tour models were certainly worth a trial by those looking for less expensive alternatives to the Titleist Pro V1 with the RZN MS-Tour and the Pro V1x with the RZN HS-Tour.

Nothing on my end. They will be included in Ball Lab, but not sure what the schedule is for those specific reports.

My experience is only with the Nike RZN balls - I did not like them compared to a tour ball at all. 

The USGA lists it as 3 and 4 piece with a 1 piece cover. Also note, it says L-L for spin which means low spin off the driver and low spin off irons.

The Titleist AVX is also listed as L-L on the USGA list. 

If you are a high spin player looking to reduce your spin then it could be a cheaper AVX option. 

Golf is simple - people are complicated.

Yes, I am a very high spin player off the tee (3500-4000), but I want a harder compression for my swing speed (110). To be perfectly honest, I'm really just wanting to experiment and see what happens. I'm a bit of a button pusher.....

I am a button pusher too. Hehe

I have had good results from the Titleist AVX, Taylormade TP5X, and Titleist ProV1x, in that order, to lower spin and gain distance off my driver - the only balls that I have ever hit over 300 yards. 

I am hopeful that the RZN HS Tour checks all those boxes for you.
