There are several more factors that determine the correct ball than just clubhead speed. Launch angle, backspin, ball speed are all factored in. You can't pick a ball without considering all of those factors. With the ball I've been using (Nike PD Soft), the spin was over 5700, way too high, launch angle was over 15 degrees. When I changed to an E6+, it cut the spin back to 2800 and the launch angle to 13. My swing speed was 92-95, ball speed was about 122 with the Nike, 130 with the E6+.

Now I have to try it on the course and see how it affects my driving distances.
