Best Golf Balls for Junior Golfers

Why a low-compression ball matters more for kids than brand names or dimple patterns.

For junior golfers with slower swing speeds, a low-compression ball (generally under 70 compression) compresses more easily off a slower swing, which helps with both distance and feel around the greens. Bright colours like yellow, pink or orange also make a ball much easier for a child to track in the air and spot in the rough.
