Men's golf balls can be grouped in subcategories focused on performance characteristics such as distance, soft feel/low compression, tour level and more.

Women's golf balls are typically two-piece construction built for distance and control and are well suited for slower swing speeds.

Yellow and other brightly colored golf balls are easy to spot and a popular option for golfers who prefer a different or bold look.
