    Balls????

    With all the big companies designating their balls to different swing speeds, what is the best process for selection??? Is the swing speed for the ball only based on driver? For example the Bridgestone 330 ....3 different types. This might sound dumb but I was just wondering.

    Knet golf has a pretty good selection system for different ball sorts.
    Distance , spin, control ,etc.
    If you click on their links they will tell you which ball is for which purpose , very helpful if your unsure of which ball type you need.

    Buy a sleeve of each ball you are considering and play a few rounds with each one.

    Once you figure out which ball gives you the best combination of driver distance, iron distance/feel, greenside feel/spin, and putter feel, buy that one.

    I'll do that! Just I was looking at the Srixon and Bridgestone balls and each is for different swing speeds. I was asssuming they were basing it off the driver.

    The swing speed recommendations are definitely for driver but there are more factors involved.
