Sorry, I didn't see this before..your swing speed is high enough to get max compression on just about any ball. To my understanding, balls aren't rated as high for compression as they used to be. Back in the day, they used to be as high as 100 compression, and were for people with very high swing speeds. However, these days, about the highest compression you'll find is about 80 or so. I've heard that Pro V1s are around 85 compression. You really don't need to worry about this. Your 110 is more than good enough to get full compression.
