Golf Ball Compression Chart: Top Ball Ratings By Swing Speed

Low-compression golf balls (30-60) can help high handicappers, beginners, or seniors with slow swing speeds get more distance.

3 Wood vs 3 Hybrid: Differences, Pros, Cons

A 3 wood is meant for distance, while a 3 hybrid is meant for accuracy. The longer shaft and lower loft of a 3 wood produce a low penetrating ball flight, perfect for those wanting extra yards. The shorter shafts and larger heads of a 3 hybrid produce easy launch, perfect for those who struggle to hit long irons accurately. High handicappers may struggle to hit a 3 wood, but most will be able to use a 3 hybrid. Remember: Using the wrong club could mean you never reach your potential.
