People have mentioned the Exception as long. I have found the NXT Tour to give the most distance. However, I don't know everything about golf balls. Is there a super, juiced up golf ball on the market?

The longest ball I have ever hit is the Golden Ram 110 compression from about 10 years ago.:laugh:
R35
I think they used a very good golfer but i dont completly trust the numbers they came up with simply because there was quite a considerable difference in launch angles.Pro V1 X.
Today's golfer did a golf ball test eailer this year testing spin, carry, height , hangtime, etc. they used solid balls like the Ultra right through the spectrum up to the premium balls.
They found that the longest balls were actually the Premium 3 & 4 piece balls like the Pro V, HX Tour, etc. The distance balls fell well short with only the Cally Big Bertha racking up respectable numbers. The mid range HX Hot, NXT Tours were'nt to far behind.
They did the testing with a robot set at a normal 'club golfers' swing speed (if i remember rightly)? I've thrown the issue away now otherwise I would have given you all the details.

The longest golf ball, if you have a high swing speed, is most likly to be a premium golf ball.
I thought that was the driver test where they used a pro? For the ball test i thought they used a machine?
