Golf Balls for Women

A golfer with a slower swing speed cannot compress a regular ball enough to make it rise and stay in the air, the new women's balls are designed to launch higher than any other category, even when struck at limited clubhead speeds.
Computer generated statistics reveal that increasing the launch angel by 2 degrees – while keeping ball speed and backspin the same – results in about 5 yards more distance. “The two ways to make a ball fly higher for a slow swing speed player are to give it a high trajectory dimple pattern and a soft compression,” so says Rock Ishii of Nike Golf.
