CHEAP vs. EXPENSIVE GOLF BALLS: Robot Tested
Are you losing 30+ yards with your golf ball? For years, golfers have spent hundreds of hours researching, demo’d thousands of different clubs and spent millions on drivers just gain a few extra yards. Who would have thought the golf ball was what we should have been paying mind to?
Every golfer uses a ball on every shot. Wouldnt that mean the ball is the single most important item in your bag?
In this video, we’re comparing cheap vs. expensive tour-performing golf balls to see just how much performance is worth in dollars and cents. No matter what ball you play, you’re going to want to watch this.
In the summer of 2021, MyGolfSpy headed to Scottsdale, AZ. to revisit just how much reform had really taken place since our earlier and rather unsettling findings.
Using an industry-approved sophisticated robot, we hit over 4,500 shots with 37 different golf balls to give you the cold, hard data.
We broke down the top performers for each price category by swing speed for any golfer!
- LOW SWING SPEED = 95 AND LOWER
- MID SWING SPEED = 95-105 MPH
- HIGH SWING SPEED = 105 AND ABOVE

The launch angle averages were negligible between the two in the 2021 test. A distance difference of this size given nearly identical initial launch conditions points to the effects of aerodynamics and potentially weight distribution (a ball with weight more concentrated at the core may retain more spin throughout its flight which depending on the other conditions could result in longer carry).
