There is much more to the performance of a golf ball than the "compression" of the ball. There is spin, trajectory and aerodynamics. In the hands of a better player, the "feel" factor and spin ratios become beyond important, they become required. If a Top-Flite XL performed the "bounce test" with the most success, then why did the tour players play a wound ball? Fred Couples and many were using the Professional 90's instead of the 100's. This was due to spin, feel, and performance.

Today's ball is completely different (Pro V's) Slightly harder in feel, yet spins plenty and fly's better than ever.

Yet, most practice balls or range balls are Top-Flite or Pinnicles due to the hard as rock feel and durability ..... not performance. Did Lee Trevino really win with Top-Flites?
