I think you might be thinking compression, not compressing. What they found, and I believe are saying is that we all swing fast enough to compress a golf ball, regardless of its compression rating. But those balls with higher compression ratings tend to go further.  That would match you and your buddies findings with the Duo.  

Two different things, similar words 😃

I am talking both. Compression applies to the compressing if the ball. Softer compression balls make it easier to compress the ball on contact. While it’s hard to over compress a ball what I have seen is the lower compression balls perform worse than higher compression balls for higher ss players. And vice versa for slower swing speed players. One of the guys I played with regularly over the last 20+ years before his passing always played Prov1. He had a typical slice ball flight but it was also predicable and he played decent for the flight and lack of distance. When he switched to a star and chrome soft his spin reduced as did the amount of side spin.

  I have also seen the spin reduction benefit a player. A friend who is a high ss guy and a scratch golfer also happens to be a high spin player. The avx ball improved his spin and his launch characteristics.

Really amazing stuff here. I played the chrome soft x last year then switched to Bridgestone RX this year but this has opened my eyes and I ordered the Snell to put in play. It's crazy to think that some of my inconsistent distances and direction could potentially be related to the golf ball. I am sure most of it is my swing but very interesting. The information is presented so well and wow the team at My Golf Spy really did an amazing job as always.

Perhaps the performance variables have more to do with changes in spin rates than golf ball compression ratings.

This would mirror what was stated in the blog about high speed/high spin players.

What I have seen and those I play with the several balls perform nearly identical. We have it different balls on the same hole in back to back swings and the balls end up in nearly the same spot.

So then high speed or low speed, high compression or low compression, all balls perform the same. What was the point of your previous statements??? Are you looking for answers or just trying to disprove some portion of the test that you don't fully agree with? I'm confused at this point...

I am between the MTB-X and the Oncore Elixr.  The driver distance average is nearly 15 yards with the MTB-X at 289.35 v. 275.62.  What jumped out to me was the significance of the shot area.  MTB-X 1494 v. 758 on the Elixr...that’s a big gap.

This is a great basis for trying to determine a gamer.  The trial Elixr was a nice tease and I really liked playing that ball.  We’ll see...

Gonna test the new Z-star and MTB-X since they're both cheaper than TP5x, available in yellow, and should perform similarly at my SS (105ish).

Is a difference but not really that big of one, 9x9 yard area vice 13x13 yard. 2 yards on the margins should still be finding fairways. 

Both are very good numbers.

Personal experience doesn’t agree with portion(s) of the test. The way a person drives the club is going to affect how a ball performs as us swing speed. 

Lower compression balls in my experience perform better than higher compression balls for slower swing speeds and guys with higher spin rates. Vice versa for higher swing speeds and getting better performance from higher compression balls. 

That goes for both distance and dispersion.

Just got to look at the Summary......

Bad news....been playing the QStar Tour and DuoU which were rated Fair.

Good news...just bought 2 dozen Maxfli Tour, rated Very Good and 2 dozen Maxfli Tour X rated Good.

We will see if they were right over the next few months.

Thanks MGS Staff, as always you are amazing.

Not sure if I'm reading all the charts right but am I correct saying that based on the information provided that the Vice Pro is the "straightest"?

Looks like I’ll continue with Z Stars, longish, excellent dispersion and in Australia, about $20/12 cheaper than Pro V1.
Great test by MGS, so much value for us everyday golfers.

I find this kind of strange.  I have 3 favorite balls... in no particular order.

Snell MTB Black

Vice Pro

Bridgestone Tour B RX

And all 3 balls fell into the Good category in their Performance Chart.  Should I be looking for a ball better than "good"?

Nope, i dont  think you will, unless you swing at 115 mph. Then you may consider it.

This was a really great read through with the data summarized nicely! Interesting to see Callaway not higher up in the ranks; just an observation no real data to back-it-up. 

If only I could follow the use one type of ball rule, currently floating between V1X (got a great deal) and the Bridgestone Tour BX

Great...I was pretty well sold on stocking up on Snell MTB-X...now I should really test Bridgestone Tour BX.  ProV1 as a solid catch all if I get frustrated.

It figures that the longest is also the most offline - can't have everything I guess!

Not so concerned about a driver being 4 yards offline when most of the competition may be about 2 yards off....more concerning that a 7 iron is a similar offline distance to driver...that's getting a bit more significant for me.

Nice stats!

The guys at txg just did some cut ball testing.

With all the issues that the site experienced I haven’t had a chance to look at the data but I’m going to guess that what wasn’t tested was quality of strike. Golfers with exact same ss but with a different contact point and/or club delivery (aoa, path, face,etc) are going to see different results

They state in the test the exact reasons they chose to use a robot. It was to test consistency of the golf balls. 

Bringing other variables into play wouldn't help us understand how a golf ball performs

I haven’t had a chance to dive into all the data yet but being someone who has plenty of inconsistencies with their swing, I like the idea of knowing the ball will be consistent.

With all the issues that the site experienced I haven’t had a chance to look at the data but I’m going to guess that what wasn’t tested was quality of strike. Golfers with exact same ss but with a different contact point and/or club delivery (aoa, path, face,etc) are going to see different results 

The data set is pretty immense, and it really doesn't say there is a "best" ball. But I think it really does give us huge amounts of information to guide us towards a ball that will probably work best for us. 

Most of the data sets have a pretty identifiable line slope, and the balls all fall basically on that line. If you are looking for a lower spinning higher launching ball, it shows you which to look at, same for the lower launch more spin. Or if you like the numbers you have it gives you that center area. 

Just a huge amount of information. And I think everyone can come away from it with a different "winner". I have ordered a box of the MTB X and the Bridgestone Bx to test, as I liked how they looked, but man, someone else could see those two as being awful choices.
