Correct, Paul.

The stiffest Shafts. For Hitters, something to 'push against,' so it makes much difference. For Swingers, a 'piece of string,' so it makes little difference.

The hardest Balls. From shoulder height, drop onto concrete a medium compression Ball -- so-called 'right' for the average player -- and a high compression Ball -- right for the good player. Which bounced highest?

Now, ask yourself:

Why would I ever want to play the Ball that bounced lowest?

Lynn,

Could you clarify. I thought a softer, lower compression ball (like a noodle or a laddie), actually compresses more against the clubhead. The multi layered balls won't compress as well with a slower clubhead speed, and thus, won't compress the inner layers, which is the name of the game for distance. I'm very confused about all of this, needless to say.
