Best Low Compression Golf Balls 2022

Posted on by

There are many low compression golf balls to choose from in 2022 and the number can be overwhelming. We’ve made a list of the most popular of these along with their actual compression scores to help you decide which low compression golf ball is best for you.

Compression refers to the overall density of the ball. The ability of the ball to compress is what provides the spring like effect as the ball comes off the club. Golfers with a slower swing speed benefit from using a low compression ball because it requires less force to “compress” the ball at impact. This allows the golfer with a slow swing speed to gain more distance than they would with a higher compression ball. Beginners, ladies, and senior players often favor low compression balls for this reason.

Ranked from lowest compression (30) to highest, here are the most popular balls with compression scores lower than 70.
