What golf ball should I use? Take the 90-second golf ball fitting quiz.

Start with your driver swing speed, your usual miss and how much you want wedges to stop. Under 85 mph, pick on feel and price; if you curve it right, a soft ball spins least off the driver. At 85 to 99 mph, a mid-spin urethane ball is the usual starting point. At 100 mph and up, look at firm tour balls. BallCaddie's 90-second golf ball fitting quiz narrows all 72 balls to the ones that fit your answers.

You answer a 90-second quiz about your swing, your short game, what you want from a ball, and your budget. BallCaddie scores 72 real-world golf balls against your answers — compression, spin, cover, feel, price — and returns the ones that actually fit, not the ones with the biggest marketing budget.

The quiz, the ball catalog and your six-section Ball Fitting Report all cost nothing. The one paid part is the named answer: your #1 ball, your #2 and #3 with the reasoning behind each, and your Smart Buy Plan. That is the $29 one-time Full Unlock, which also opens Caddie Mode on-course testing, My Bag, saved fittings and unlimited re-fits. It never renews and there is nothing to cancel. BallCaddie Pro at $4.99/month is the same feature set on monthly billing.

Brand selectors only recommend their own balls. BallCaddie's golf ball selector is brand-neutral: the quiz scores 72 models across Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, Bridgestone, Srixon, Vice, Wilson, and more — and recommends whatever fits your game, with no affiliate kickbacks.

Yes. The quiz uses your driver swing-speed range, short-game priorities, trajectory, feel, and budget — things you already know from playing — so you can complete an online golf ball fitting from anywhere in about 90 seconds.

For most golfers, yes, and it doesn't take a launch monitor. In 2026 robot testing, 16 balls tied for driver distance at the slowest swing speed, so the right ball comes down to spin, flight, feel and price. A fitting narrows 72 balls to the few that suit your swing speed, your miss and your short game, so you stop buying dozens at random.

BallCaddie's quiz and six-section Ball Fitting Report are free. Naming your #1 ball is the paid part, the $29 one-time Full Unlock. A fitting run by a ball brand only fits that brand's balls, and store or launch-monitor fittings vary in price.

Online: take the 90-second BallCaddie quiz. It covers your driver swing speed, your usual miss, your short game, feel and budget, and scores every ball in the catalog. In person: a fitter compares balls on a launch monitor. Either way, finish on the course by playing two balls side by side for a round before you buy a dozen.

No. BallCaddie is independent and brand-neutral. Recommendations are driven purely by how well a ball matches your answers.

The catalog currently covers 72 models across Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, Bridgestone, Srixon, Vice, Snell, Cut, Wilson, Mizuno, and more.

The fairest test is a controlled A/B on the same course in similar conditions: play one sleeve of Ball A on the front nine and one sleeve of Ball B on the back nine (or rotate every three holes), and score each ball across three buckets — drives (carry and dispersion), approach shots (flight and stopping), and greenside shots (spin and feel). BallCaddie Pro's Caddie Mode scripts exactly this protocol as three on-course missions, captures your notes, and gives a data-backed verdict at the end of the round so you aren't deciding on gut feel.
