I have received a lot of questions about golf balls as the new season is underway and many people are looking for info on golf ball compression values for various brands.

In fact, the other day a golfer from CA asked a question I get quite often and it may also have crossed your mind. He asked what has happened to the “Compression” ratings on golf balls?  You know, those numbers like 80, 90, or 100, etc…

He’s right, they seemed to have disappeared in recent years and golfers are confused as to which balls are the hardest and the softest.  You know, low compression golf ball rankings.

In fact, golf ball “hardness” and “compression” are often misunderstood.  There is a lot of confusion in this area and I address it in a new Special Report below.

You see, the ball manufacturers have gotten smart here in one sense, but may have inadvertently confused the golfing public at the same time.

Check out the report here.  It will really help your golf scores and ball buying decisions:

Bubba Watson’s hooking 2nd shot onto the 10th green was arguably the best full wedge shot in Masters history given
the pressure, the playoff, the woods, etc..

Every time I see the top pros spin a wedge in close I am reminded of all the fuss regarding the phase out of the illegal “square grooves” in tournament play.

The game was to be fundamentally changed for PGA players after the switch (scores would skyrocket, etc…).

This “Great Grooves Controversy” caused some incredible turmoil on Tour, pitting high profile players against each other:

- Some players used 20 year old wedges to work around the new regulations.

- Phil Mickelson took heat from Scott McCarron.

- The word “cheating” was flying around like a wounded seagull.

I’d like to show you what are considered to be non-conforming golf club grooves (in pictures) by golf’s governing bodies.

Then, I might just blow your mind with a reality check on grooves performance.  Do they really do anything?  I’ve got an interesting story to share based on my work in the golf ball industry.

And at least one PGA pro proves my point with his comments on his own play without the “square grooves”.

Bubba’s “wonder” wedge shot also plays a big part in the story.
