Top Flite Hammer Tour — frequently asked

What is the compression of the Top Flite Hammer Tour?

The Top Flite Hammer Tour has a compression rating of 95. 95 is firm — designed for fast swing speeds (105+ mph driver). On slower swings it will feel hard and underperform a softer ball.

Is the Top Flite Hammer Tour a tour ball?

No. The Hammer Tour is a distance ball. It prioritizes distance and feel over greenside spin.

What swing speed is the Top Flite Hammer Tour best for?

Best fit is driver swing speed above about 100 mph. At 95 compression the ball is firm enough to compress correctly only on faster swings.

Does the Top Flite Hammer Tour spin a lot around the green?

No — the Surlyn cover gives less greenside spin than a urethane tour ball. It is built for distance and straight flight, not short-game stop power.

How much does the Top Flite Hammer Tour cost?

MSRP is $15.00 per dozen. That is a value-tier price — under half the cost of a premium tour ball.

Where is the cheapest place to buy the Top Flite Hammer Tour?

Pro shops and major retailers (PGA Tour Superstore, Dick's Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy) sell the Hammer Tour at full retail. Top Flite's own website is the most reliable source — they sometimes offer free personalization that third-party retailers don't. Used / refurbished options on Lostgolfballs.com run 50 to 70 percent below new.
