Most junior golfers play adult balls they can't compress. LilLinks shows parents and coaches which low compression balls actually work for young swings, and where to get them.
Most adult balls require 90+ mph swing speed to compress properly. The average 10-year-old swings around 60 mph.
Playing the wrong compression ball can cost junior golfers up to 30% of their carry distance. That's 3-4 clubs of difference.
Junior golf has grown over 50% since 2019. The equipment hasn't kept up. Until now.
Simple breakdowns of what compression means, why it matters for slower swing speeds, and how to match the right ball to your junior's game.
Head-to-head comparisons of every low compression ball on the market. Bridgestone BOOM IT, Callaway Supersoft, Wilson Duo Soft, and more.
A standard Pro V1 has a compression of 87. The Bridgestone BOOM IT Junior? Just 41. That's the difference between a ball that fights your kid's swing and one that works with it.
Not every junior is the same. We match ball recommendations to age groups, swing speeds, and skill levels so you get the right fit.

Every junior golfer deserves equipment that matches their ability. LilLinks is building the go-to resource for parents and coaches who want their kids to fall in love with golf, not fight against it.
