Due to their smaller frames, female golfers have difficulty generating the same club speed as men. As a result, when a female golfer strikes a normal golf ball, the ball doesn’t compress as much, preventing it from rising and staying in the air as long as the shots from their male counterparts. Golf manufacturers address the problem by producing softer golf balls for women, with the improved compression at impact resulting in greater height and distance. The following models are a few of the best women’s golf balls on the market.
Nike Karma
Nike designed the Karma golf ball specifically for the female golf swing, which averages between 70 and 80 mph. A softened cover and core makes the Karma ideal for slower swing speeds, while the ball’s aerodynamic design, which features 312 high lift dimples, achieves longer carry and a more stable flight path. The Karma performs best when extra height is required, allowing for easy passage over trees and other course obstructions.
Callaway HX Pearl
Utilizing a unique three-piece design, the Callaway XH Pearl golf ball delivers speed and style to the female golfer’s game. The HX Pearl’s softer rubber core provides more resilience at lower compression, giving women improved feel and distance off the tee. A DuPont HBF boundary surrounds the core to grant even higher ball speeds. Finally, a pearlized ionomer cover further enhances distance and gives the ball a distinctive look, making it easy to spot. Some limited edition Callaway HX Pearl golf balls display a teal ribbon in support of ovarian cancer research, with 15 percent of all proceeds donated to Callaway Golf Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Initiative through the Entertainment Industry Foundation.
Pinnacle Ribbon
Featuring a 392 icosahedral dimple design, the Pinnacle Ribbon golf ball helps female golfers with average swing speeds keep drives airborne. A special compression core and a soft iconomer cover provide increased distance, consistent ball flight, and rugged durability. The Pinnacle Ribbon also comes in a pearlescent pink color and boasts a Susan G. Komen for the Cure Pink Ribbon stamp to help raise breast cancer awareness.
Lynx Crystal Cat
With a high energy core, the Lynx Crystal Cat golf ball brings unmatched power to the women’s tee. Lynx engineered the Crystal Cat’s thin cover to help convert core momentum into maximum distance without sacrificing any durability, as the cover resists cuts and scrapes better than most. The Crystal Cat’s surface has 432 dimples to guarantee superior control, minimal air resistance and flawless trajectory.
