We all know that golf ball speed is an important aspect of golf ball distance. It does not take a physics wizard to realize the relationship between them. Driving distance, swing speeds, golf ball velocity, advanced technology, we all know them. They are all geared to get your golf ball an inch closer to the pin. What does that mean? Yes, a chance for you to lower your golf score.

While Tiger Woods have been pumping irons in the gym and Annika doing swing training to improve the power off the club face, they all know the importance of it. But as far as golf ball technology is concerned, it no longer is the same old thinking of harder compression for longer distance.

Truthfully speaking, Coefficient of Restitution or C.O.R of golf balls have been increasing and making golf balls more resilient and produce more distance than ever. Getting it hard and fast will add additional speed and distance but you still have to depend on your technique, the golf ball materials and such to produce a further distance.

If we were to take a closer look, the capability of golf balls to not just depend too much on speed to deliver distance came some time back when the solid golf balls began to dominate.

Yes, it would be wonderful to see your tee shots zoom past others and go down at break necking speeds. I would love mine to do that too. Technology have made it such that lower swing speed players can deliver outstanding distances despite having lack of swing speed by playing with the factors like compression, resilient and hardness.

No matter how much technology can offer us, we still got to realize and salute the well drilled golfing machines that bring the speed out of the golf balls. They can generate and control the distance and level the playing field any time.

You maybe able to generate amazing distance but if you do not know how to control them, it would be pointless as the game goes. Experience will tell you that not every hole is played the same way. There are many different approaches that you can bring to make the game more lively.

Let us not just concentrate on golf ball speed. Technology have given us a chance to keep up with the pros but it is still the skills that we have in us and the fitness to out run the 18 holed race.
