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 Wilson Chaos suits
Affordable 4-piece construction; more layers than most balls at this price, which adds short-game versatility.
