- Two-Piece Golf Ball: Most common for beginners; offers distance and durability.
- Three-Piece Golf Ball: Provides better spin and control, ideal for intermediate players.
- Four & Five-Piece Golf Balls: Designed for professionals, offering maximum control and performance.
Compression Rating
- Low compression (40-70): Softer, more distance, easier to hit (good for beginners).
- Medium compression (70-90): Balanced distance and control.
- High compression (90-110): Harder ball, more control for skilled players with fast swing speeds.
