I have a relatively low swing speed and would like to find the best ball to match that. Everyone says don't use a high compression ball if you can't swing at least 100 mph, but you can't find out what the ball compression is! Any help with this appreciated.

Ps. the tour ballata 100 was the old performance ball from titleist if you feel comfortable with the prov1 around the green i think you'll really like the check and control this ball gives you erik try the hex hot by callaway or the titleist dt carry ED- i have the exact same feeling about the prov1 im pretty sure it was designed for only professionals to play therefore it is a much better ball for a faster swing.

I fell in love with it immediately. I'm a big hitter with a 118mph swing speed. The ball was still soft on demand around the greens. I've gotten away from the game with a new house and then a broken foot but hope to be back soon. Does anyone know what is today's equivalent of the HP Tour? Thanks! -Erik in Glendora PS: I do look very forward to ball fitting in the future. I think I just got lucky. Long ago I was matched up to the Titleist HP Tour ball after taking a brief quiz.
