The right ball,
decided by data.

Yes. The check itself costs nothing and never asks for card details. If the ball you already play fits your game, you get a free certificate confirming it. If it doesn't, a £4.95, three-month plan names your everyday ball, an alternative and a winter pick.

188 current-release models from every major manufacturer, drawn from KaddieIQ's own database of 330 tracked balls. Superseded and retired models still rank for comparison but are never returned as a top recommendation, so you're never sold a ball you can no longer buy. That's how many balls are in a golf ball fitting BallFIT runs - a fixed, named set, not a handful of samples a shop happens to stock.

No. KaddieIQ does not sell golf balls and has no commercial relationship with any manufacturer. The recommendation is decided purely by how a ball's measured characteristics match your game.

This page is the fitting itself - answer a few questions and get your ball named in about two minutes. The BallFIT Guide is a longer, screen-by-screen walkthrough for anyone who wants to understand how the fitting reasons before they start.

The only honest way to know is to check - most golfers have never compared their current ball against the alternative that actually suits their swing. Run the fitting with the ball you already play named as your baseline, and BallFIT will tell you plainly whether it fits or whether something else would serve you better.

The usual signs are a miss that never quite corrects itself, short-game spin that feels inconsistent from similar lies, or driver distance that undersells your swing speed. Any one of those is worth a two-minute check rather than a guess.

If anything, mid-handicap golfers see the clearest gains from a fitting - enough swing consistency for the recommendation to mean something, without the individual attention a single-digit player already gets as standard from a coach or club fitter.

An estimate is enough. Your typical driver carry distance, a number from a range session's shot tracker, or even a rough sense of how you compare to golfers you know all narrow the fitting considerably - precision helps, but it isn't required to start.

At 100 mph you're generating enough clubhead speed to compress a firmer ball fully, and golf ball fitting for high swing speed players typically favours golf ball compression for 90 mph swing speed and above - cores that hold together on full shots instead of ballooning spin off the tee. The exact recommendation still depends on your miss and what you're protecting: a player chasing distance gets a different build to one who wants more greenside stopping power. Run the check with your speed or carry distance entered and BallFIT names the model itself rather than a compression range.

Golf ball fitting for slow swing speed generally points towards lower-compression balls that deform more easily at impact, helping transfer more of a swing in the 85 mph range into ball speed rather than losing energy to a core that never fully compresses. That's the mechanism BallFIT checks first for anyone entering a speed in this range, but the best golf ball for slow swing speed also depends on your miss and short-game needs - which is why the fitting still asks about spin and control before naming one model rather than giving every slower swinger the same answer.

Yes - excess spin off the tee is one of the specific problems BallFIT fits for. Tell it that driver spin is costing you shots and it weighs cover material and dimple pattern against that miss, steering you towards a construction that keeps spin down without sacrificing the greenside check you still want from a mid or short iron. The recommendation accounts for that trade-off specifically, rather than optimising for outright distance or short-game spin instead.

Swing speed decides how much compression a ball needs to perform properly, which is the starting point for how to pick a golf ball for your swing speed rather than going by price or whatever a playing partner uses. Slower swings generally get more out of a ball that compresses easily at lower force; faster swings can compress firmer builds fully and often prefer the extra control that comes with them. BallFIT turns that principle into one named model by asking your speed or carry distance alongside your miss and what part of your game you're protecting, since compression is only one of the four characteristics it weighs. Which golf ball suits my swing speed and spin is really one question split in two, and BallFIT answers both together rather than one at a time.

That's really two questions: how to choose a golf ball in general, and what's the best golf ball for my swing speed specifically. BallFIT answers both at once - your swing speed or carry distance, your typical miss, and what you're protecting (distance, control, or spin) are enough to name one ball, not a shortlist to compare yourself.

Searching for golf ball fitting UK options usually turns up one of those three labels, and BallFIT is closest to the last one. A golf ball comparison tool or golf ball selector typically leaves you to weigh up a shortlist yourself; a fitter is meant to do that weighing for you and hand back one answer, which is what BallFIT does.

Yes - a short one. A handful of questions about your swing, your miss and what you're protecting is enough; there's no club-by-club data entry and nothing to install.

If you have them. A golf ball recommendation based on launch monitor data is more precise than an estimate, but it isn't required - BallFIT uses whatever numbers you can give it, from a logged carry distance to full launch monitor data, and the process doesn't change either way.

Yes - that's the default, not an exception. Most golfers run BallFIT from an estimated swing speed or typical carry distance rather than logged numbers, and golf ball fitting without a launch monitor still produces one named ball, not a vaguer answer.

Yes - golf ball fitting online free of charge is the whole point of the basic check, run as a short quiz rather than a form. Whether you call it online golf ball fitting free of any cost or a golf ball fitting quiz, it's the same two-minute questionnaire, free start to finish for the basic recommendation.

Nothing, for the recommendation itself - no card, no catch. Shop around and the typical golf ball fitting cost UK golfers quote for an in-person session runs from free to upwards of £30; BallFIT's own version costs nothing for the basic result, with a £4.95, three-month plan only if you want an everyday ball, an alternative and a winter pick tracked together.
