Best golf balls for under 80 mph swing speed
Our top 4 picks for golfers swinging under 80 mph. They come from the same ranking as the FitMySwing fitting. Your own fitting also weighs your miss, budget and current clubs.
All golf balls in the catalog.
How these picks are chosen
We run the fitting's own ranking code on example golfers: men, moderate tempo, mid trajectory, no budget and no usual miss, swinging 75 mph. Best overall uses a 15 handicap. The lower and higher handicap lists use 5 and 25.
For golf balls the ranking matches swing speed to a ball's compression and handicap to its cover, and uses ball flight and a ballooning miss to pick the spin. It does not read tempo.
Only current models with verified or partly verified specs are listed. Prices are approximate catalog launch prices, not today's.
