Most golfers dramatically under-think their ball choice. The ball is the only piece of equipment that touches every shot - and the right one can save you more strokes than a new driver.
StickFitter fits you for a ball the same way it fits you for clubs: conversationally.
How to ask
In the chat, just say:
"What ball should I play?"
"Can you fit me for a golf ball?"
"Is the Pro V1 right for me?"
StickFitter will ask about your driver distance (a proxy for swing speed), your short-game preferences (spin around the greens), and your feel preference (soft, firm, or in-between). Any of these you've already mentioned in prior conversation counts - it won't re-ask unnecessarily.
What the recommendation includes
The ball recommendation appears under your club recommendations in the right panel and includes:
Manufacturer and model (e.g., "Titleist Pro V1x")
Construction: 2-piece, 3-piece, 4-piece, or 5-piece
Cover material: Urethane, surlyn, or ionomer
Spin category: Low, mid, or high
Feel: Soft, mid, or firm
Compression (when relevant)
Price per dozen
Buy links: Manufacturer direct, major retailers. Balls are always new - no used market.
Why ball fitting matters
Common mistakes:
Playing a tour ball when you don't need the spin. If your driver swing is under 95 mph, a premium urethane ball may actually hurt your distance with minimal short-game benefit.
Playing a distance ball when you want to score. If your short game is sharp, a 2-piece distance ball robs you of the spin you need to stop approach shots.
Choosing by marketing, not fit. "Tour proven" doesn't mean "right for your swing."
StickFitter cuts through the marketing and matches the ball to your game.
Keeping it current
If you switch balls, just tell StickFitter in any chat - "I've been playing the Bridgestone Tour B XS lately." Your current ball updates, and future fittings take that into account.
