Swing Speed & type of Ball??

[juanrjackson]

I agree with HytrewQasdfg. Almost every ball is within a 5-10 yard distance range.....you should get a ball that feels good & you can keep in the fairway.

Does an extra 5-10 yards really make much of a difference on a drive?

I shoot the E6+ ball and love it....

I'm a fairly long hitter w/ a pretty fast SS but I'll fight a slice a bit too often for my liking..... so the E6+ is perfect for me....

lower spin to minimize the slice effect, and at the same time, these balls are soft around the greens too.....

just a good ball.....

I agree with HytrewQasfg. 5-10 yards do not make much differnece in a drive. It's better to get a ball you can keep in the fairway & play good around the green.

Most people don't know you have to have a high swing speed to compress these balls in order to get maximum performance.

That's inaccurate at worst and misleading at best.

A faster swing will always hit the same ball further (up until you hit literally 140-150 MPH swing speeds - then the ball starts to deform), so if you keep swinging faster you'll keep getting more "performance" (if "performance" == distance). There's no "boost" you get when you reach a certain swing speed. Listen to the question and answer in the podcast re: the "swing speed required to play a Pro V1." Or look at this image from the USGA (and read this article ). Where's the boost occur? It doesn't. Goes from 90 to 120+. Pretty linear, really. Heck, the slope even decreases at 110 MPH.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for balls with swing speeds over 120mph??

Yeah, get on the PGA Tour...

Yeah, get on the PGA Tour...

Seriously, I just knew someone would have a smart remark. Is there such a thing as too much spin? Certain balls that will overcompress? Balls that people like, balls that are definite no-nos. I ask the question because I don't know, and It's one part of my game that I have never discussed. The pro that fitted me offhandedly suggested a ProV1x, why, are there other options... possibly cheaper??
