Best Golf Balls for Women

Soft, low-compression balls matched to typical women’s swing speeds.

Most women golfers swing the driver between 60 and 80 mph. At those speeds a low-compression ball launches higher and carries farther than a firm one. Several balls are made specifically for women, but any low-compression ball fits the same way; the label matters less than the compression.

The golf ball finder asks about your swing, scores and budget and narrows it to three. You can also compare every ball's compression in the compression chart.

How we pick

We score every current ball on how well its compression and swing-speed range match the golfer, its cover and spin, how it feels, and its price tier, weighted for the golfer this page is about. Specs come from each maker's published information. No brand pays to be listed.
