Survey: What Golf Ball Are You Really Playing? (Why?)

Earlier this year, we published lists of top-selling ionomer golf balls and top-selling urethane balls based on 2024 market share data. Those lists tell us what’s moving off the shelves but they don’t tell us the whole story.

What we really want to know is what you’re playing—and, more importantly, why you chose that ball over all the others.

Are you chasing distance? Spin around the greens? Playing whatever was on sale? Maybe you’re still gaming that sleeve you found in your garage from 2019?

To find out, we’ve put together our 2025 golf ball survey. It’s fewer than 10 questions and should take under five minutes to complete. Plus, if you’d like to be entered in a random drawing to win a $50 Amazon gift card, just enter your email address at the end—it’ll only be used for prize notification.

Here’s what we’re hoping to uncover: Which balls are MyGolfSpy readers actually putting in play? What drives your golf ball decisions? And how do your choices compare to what the broader market is buying?

As we typically do, we’ll share the results when we’re done—and some of the findings might surprise you.
