Cut Blue Golf ball compression, specs & review

A four-piece urethane (soft, grippy cover) tour ball engineered for golfers with 95+ mph swing speeds seeking optimal distance, high spin control, and exceptional value.

Who It’s For

The Cut Blue is built for faster swing speeds (95 mph and above). It suits golfers who prioritize high swing speed, advanced amateurs. In the Cut lineup, the Blue sits firmer than the Cut Grey and softer than the Cut DC.

Feel

With a compression of 90 and a urethane cover, feel is firm and explosive, with a crisp click at impact that fast swingers tend to like.

Spin Profile

We rate the Blue high-spin (Cut says it “really spins”), so expect more driver spin than the lower-spinning DC and a flight that responds to shape. Around the green, the urethane cover is the reason to buy a Blue over a $25 ionomer ball: we rate it high-spin, and urethane is what makes wedges check.

Trajectory & Construction

Cut says golfers find the Blue launches higher, and we rate its flight high, above the mid-flight DC, Grey and Red. The 4-piece build puts two inner layers under the urethane cover, the same layer count as a Pro V1x or Chrome Tour X at less than half the price. Works best in warmer conditions.

Price & Value

At $24.95 per dozen (direct-to-consumer, no retail markup), the Blue delivers premium materials at a meaningful discount to the big brands.

Buy it if

• You swing 95 mph or more and want a high-spin urethane ball without paying big-brand prices.
• Wedge spin matters more to you than the extra roll of the lower-spinning Cut DC.
• You lose a sleeve a round; at $24.95 direct, a lost Blue costs less than half of a lost Pro V1.

Skip it if

• You want a soft feel. At 90 compression it feels firm, on par with a Pro V1 (92), even though Cut’s price puts it next to soft ionomer balls.
• You play through winter; the Blue’s 90 core isn’t flagged cold-weather suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the compression of the Cut Blue golf ball?

The Cut Blue has a compression of about 90, which puts it in the high-compression range. At 90 the Blue is 9 points softer than the Cut DC, so it feels firm but not clicky, and Cut aims it at 95+ mph players who want a tour ball for $24.95. It is one of several specs the BallCaddie fitting quiz weighs against your swing speed, usual miss, feel preference and budget.

Who should play the Cut Blue?

The Cut Blue is built for faster swing speeds (95 mph and above). It suits golfers who prioritize high swing speed, advanced amateurs.

What swing speed is the Cut Blue designed for?

Cut builds the Blue for golfers with 95+ mph swing speeds. Slower swings still compress it, and since the Blue wasn’t in MyGolfSpy’s 2026 robot test, choose it on its high launch, high spin and price rather than test data.

Does the Cut Blue have high greenside spin?

Yes. Cut says the Blue “really spins” and gives short-game control, and the urethane cover is built for wedge and short-iron grip.

Is the Cut Blue good in cold weather?

Not especially. Our catalog doesn’t flag the Blue for cold weather, and a 90-compression ball only feels firmer as the air cools.

How much does the Cut Blue cost?

MSRP is $24.95 per dozen.
