Compression measures how much a ball deforms at impact. Match it to your driver speed and the ball returns the energy you put into it; miss the range and you either leave distance behind or lose the soft feel you paid for. The full golf ball compression chart ranks every ball we track, and the golf ball finder narrows it to your own speed.
Who the Titleist Tour Soft suits
Titleist publishes no compression figure for any ball. MyGolfSpy's gauge reads the Tour Soft at 88 and describes it as close to a Pro V1 in firmness — far firmer than the name suggests. This chart carried 65 until November 2026, which understated it by 23 points; the measured figure is what you see now. A two-piece ionomer ball at $40/dozen for golfers who want brand trust without Pro V1 money.
