What does the ball compression of a golf ball mean?

I bought a box of Taylor Made burner tp golf balls and on the side it says it has a 75 ball compression could someone explain what that means and if they are good for me- I have a slower swing speed.

How does compression affect the performance of a golf ball?

I drive the ball about 250 yds. I’m wondering what kind of compression ball will be right for me?  I’m looking to maximize distance, but a little bit of feel would be nice as well, don’t really want to feel like I’m hitting a rock.
