We spent more than 80 hours testing 47 models of balls, all to find the best golf balls of 2023. Our data shows which ball reigns supreme.
Aug 16, 2021 · Here are the official 2021 Golf Ball Test Results. We put 37 models to the test for the most thorough independent review you'll find.
- Srixon Z-Star. $43 ▶ These two balls ask golfers to decide which shot on every hole is most important to you. The answer leads to a ball and a specific technology geared to enhancing that shot.
- TaylorMade Tour Response. $35 ▶ You don’t have to watch a lot of 330-yard drives to realize that tour players are different than you are. But you also don’t have to be able to swing 130 miles per hour to hit a decent chip shot that checks instead of bounding off the green like a superball springing down your driveway.
- TaylorMade TP5. $48 ▶ Every ball that’s ever been created tells a similar story: how its latest technology makes it so much faster than ever before. The TP5 family isn’t shying away from that claim, of course, but it’s also not afraid to talk about how much better it is at going slow.
- Titleist AVX. $50 ▶ If ever there was a question that golf balls are designed to serve distinctly different player types, the AVX stands as a definitive example that one ball does not fit all.

Over the years, we’ve tested a lotof golf balls, and we’ve gathered our top picks from brands such as Titleist and Mizuno. Depending on the expert you ask, the best golf balls can cut any number of strokes off a golf score. To that end, some balls are designed to travel farther. Others are built to spin more or stop more accurately on a green. Taki...
It’s a hard reality that professional players on the PGA Tour play golf balls made to their exact specifications and delivered to them by their sponsors. To give the rest of us a taste of such rarified golf air, Titleist offers the 2021 Pro V1s. Completely redesigned from 2020, these new Titleist golf balls offer longer distance, very low long game...
Not every player can lay a drive out 300 yards or more; however, those folks can get some legal distance help if they pick the right golf ball. The Mizuno RB 566V employs its titular 566 micro-dimples to reduce aerodynamic drag and optimize spin rate, which means this low-compression ball is designed to travel farther with better accuracy. You’ll h...
When reviewing the best golf balls of 2022, there were a lot of high-quality Callaway balls to consider. We ultimately selected the new Callaway Chrome Soft for the incredible distance, soft feel and good short-game spin. Updated for 2022 with precision technology for ultra-tight dispersion, the latest Callaway Chrome Soft is designed to give the h...
Vice Golfdoesn’t have the longstanding reputation of Callaway or the high-tech reputation of Mizuno, but this newcomer to the golf scene is already making some of our favorite balls. Available with varying core designs and coverings, Vice Golf wants to appeal to every player, from high to low handicappers, whether they are looking for distance, spi...
Hyped up by TaylorMade for its “complete performance,” the 2021 TP5X uses a new dimple pattern to improve ball flight and five-layer construction to provide a soft feel. When you see a golf ball described as “soft,” that doesn’t mean it’s a stress toy or something a dog chews on when it’s bored. It means the ball is designed to land and grab. The p...
You won’t find a lot of these on the course. They’re a little more on the exotic side, just like the elite clubs that Honma makes. When it comes to their golf balls, multilevel construction and a 326-dimple design make for refined performance. One additional rare feature of the Honma D1 is the glossy paint job, offering a little more glint in the s...
If a hacker isn’t the best with the blade out on the greens, it’s best to stop the ball closer to the hole. It’s easier to avoid three-putts if the ball lands nearer to the cup or rotates back toward the pin. The Srixon Q-Star Tour 3 wraps itself in a “Spin Skin” with SeRM (Srixon’s urethane coating with flexible molecular bonds). That wrap allows ...
Amongst amateurs, there are power players, and there are touch players. The power types are of the “drive for show” club who bang the golf ball like a gorilla but add strokes with ham-fisted shots from 100 yards or closer. The touch player can shape shots and deftly judge both distance and terrain. This ball also features improved elasticity. The b...
Even veteran golfers always have an element of the game that needs work. You’ll find courses and driving ranges across the country full of players working on everything from driving to chipping to putting, chasing the dragon and looking to perfect whatever element is out of whack. The rookie golfer faces the different problem of needing to work on ...
Jul 25, 2021 · We tested every golf ball on our 2021 Hot List for spin and launch angle, so you can choose the ideal option for your game.
Jul 12, 2021 · Unlike our club testing where we gather our data with human testers, a golf ball test requires the consistency of a robot. This years’ plan is to test at three different driver and iron speeds. We’ll also be conducting a test of greenside performance.
