Choosing the right golf ball can transform your game. The ball you play affects your distance, spin, feel, and even how confident you feel standing over a shot. But with so many options—Titleist Pro V1, Pro V1x, TaylorMade TP5, Callaway Chrome Soft, Srixon Z-Star—it’s easy to get lost.
That’s where our Golf Ball Selector Tool comes in. This guide walks you through a simple questionnaire so you can quickly discover 2–3 golf ball models that fit your game.
Best of all? Every recommendation is available right here at ReUseGolfBalls.com, where you get the same tour performance for up to 50% less than buying new.
Step 1: What’s Your Swing Speed?
Your swing speed helps determine how much compression your ball needs.
Slow (<85 mph driver speed, ~200 yards or less carry) → Low-compression balls that launch higher and travel further.
Medium (85–100 mph driver speed, ~220–250 yards) → Balanced balls that offer distance with control.
Fast (100+ mph driver speed, 260+ yards) → Tour-level balls that can handle more force and maximise spin.
Step 2: What Do You Value Most?
Golf balls can emphasise different strengths:
Soft Feel → A smooth, pure strike at impact.
Distance → Extra yards off the tee.
Spin & Control → Stopping power and shot-shaping precision.
Step 3: What’s Your Budget?
Premium Performance → Tour-proven models like Pro V1, Pro V1x, TP5.
Mid-Range Value → Excellent alternatives like Tour Response, Chrome Soft, Q-Star.
Best on a Budget → Financially orgiving options like Supersoft, Wilson Staff Duo Soft.
