This tells us which robot test condition to pull your data from — so carry distance comparisons are apples-to-apples. If you're unsure, pick the middle option.
Step 2 of 7
What ball do you currently play?
We'll use your current ball as a baseline for direct comparison. If it's not listed, select "Not listed" — we'll ask a couple of quick follow-ups instead.

Tell us about your preferences:
How much spin do you prefer?
How high do you want the ball to launch?
Step 3 of 7
How would you like to change your launch?
Higher launch maximizes carry and stopping power — great for most golfers, though more wind-affected. Lower launch performs better into the wind and maximizes roll-out, but stopping power must come from spin instead.
Step 4 of 7
More spin, less spin, or similar?
More spin increases workability and stopping power — at the cost of some distance and potentially more side movement. Less spin can reduce shot shape and maximize carry — at the cost of stopping power.
Note: No ball can cure a hook or slice on its own.
Step 5 of 7
Is feel important to you?
Softer feeling balls are typically lower compression which can sacrifice distance. Firmer balls tend to be brands' higher-spinning models, but there are exceptions in both directions.
Feel preference
Matching compression to swing speed is a myth.
Step 6 of 7
How important is greenside performance?
Prioritizing more greenside spin generally results in a ball that spins more throughout the bag — good for control, but can affect distance and tee-to-green dispersion.
