Hit The Big Golf Drive - But Do You Use A Rock Or A Marshmallow Ball?

When your driver strikes the golf ball, you want the ball to have as much energy (technically called "kinetic energy") transferred into the golf ball as possible. The ball compresses and then seeks to regain its round form. In general, the more energy you transfer into the golf ball, the farther it will go while it's in the process of regaining its original round form. But different golf balls regain their round form in different way depending on whether the ball is high compression or low compression as well as other factors.
