Your not going to get much additional distance by changing balls. The best way to maximize your distance is making sure you have the right clubface (loft) and shaft to get the proper launch angle and spin rate. That will be your best way to maximize distance. Like the first person said, there are a lot of questions that need to be asked before the proper ball could be determined. If you slice the ball I would go with a lower spin rate ball. You will get less side spin keeping the ball more in the fairway. By going with a lower spin rate ball, you will loose ability to drop and stop the ball on the greens. The compression of the golf ball relates to its firmness. This was important about 15 years ago before the advances of the ball cover. The softer the ball, the longer it was able to stay on the club face. This really only come into play on driver, three wood and 3 iron. Most tour pros have a hard time compression a golf ball past a three iron. With the advancement of the cover, a 100 comp. ball can now feel like a rock yet spin like a yo-yo….
