What is the compression of a Wilson 50 Elite golf ball?

The 50 is the compression rating. Authorized dealers such as Golfballs.com list it at 50, and Wilson’s own catalog sells it on low-compression distance and soft feel without printing a number.

That puts it in the same soft bracket as Callaway Supersoft (49 in our catalog) and TaylorMade SpeedSoft (50). It is a two-piece ball with an ionomer cover, built for soft feel and low driver spin at a budget price rather than for wedge spin.

One caveat: that 50 is Wilson’s stated rating. Independent gauges often read a few points away from a maker’s number, and we have not found a published lab measurement for this ball. Treat it as “about 50” rather than exactly 50.

If you want a ball this soft with a urethane cover for more greenside grip, our low-compression guide lists the options.
