Golf Ball IQ fits it properly. Answer 10 questions about your swing, your miss, and what you want the ball to do. We score 73 balls across five factors — compression, spin, flight, feel and cost per round — and tell you which one actually suits your game. WHY TRUST IT We don't make golf balls. We have no brand to protect and no premium tier to push, so when the right answer is a $20 ball instead of a $50 one, that's what we'll tell you. Sometimes the answer is the ball already in your bag.
