When it comes to the topic of what's the best equipment for women, it’s kind of like what’s best for seniors. The equipment doesn’t know your gender any more than it does your age. So to do this kind of story, unfortunately, we have to make a few generalizations. Plus, we leaned on a recent GolfPass member survey to find the best golf balls for women in 2025.

And in this case, the equipment we’re focusing on here are women’s golf balls. 

Like we just established, however, the golf ball doesn’t care if you’re male or female. The best women players in the world, for example, are pretty much playing the same golf balls the best men are playing. And those are simply the most premium, well performing golf balls on the market. On the LPGA Tour, for example, the most played golf ball is the Titleist Pro V1x, followed by the Titleist Pro V1 with lots of TaylorMade TP5s, Srixon Z Stars, and Callaway Chrome Tours and the like.

So the short answer for the “best” golf balls for women are simply the best golf balls. The premium balls can be a great choice for most golfers because they go far, feel great, and check all the boxes. Of course, for players with slow swing speeds or limited skills the gains from using a golf ball that costs more than $5 each vs. a golf ball that’s $1 or $2 are negligible if at all, so for the purposes of this article, we’re looking for golf balls that benefit the majority of women playing the game, not the ones who play at an elite level.

Generally speaking, recreational women golfers have slower swing speeds. That doesn’t mean they necessarily need a softer ball for more distance; it simply means the difference between distances of many golf balls are minimal, whether it’s off the tee or on an approach shot.

A softer or low compression ball will probably feel better, though, with a slow swing speed. And with really slow swing speeds, softer balls may go further. After all, they are easier to compress.

Another factor, however, to consider, is spin. Balls that spin more should fly easier because backspin creates lift. But it also creates sidespin, which can accentuate a slice. Balls that spin more have more stopping power, too, but that may or may not be desirable depending on the player’s type of game. The softer balls generally spin less, by the way.

Many female players - from older women to younger girls - also want to express their own style or creativity. Many of them will play pink balls, for example, or other colors. I’d play a pink or purple ball if it meant lower scores, but color is really a preference not a performance enhancer.

And finally, let’s just be real here. Manufacturers do design and market balls specifically for women, and we will take a look at many of those here. But they are not the only balls women golfers should consider. What follows are some of the best and most popular golf balls for women in 2025.

The Kalea ball from TaylorMade is specifically engineered for women. This soft-feeling women’s golf ball is designed to promote greater lift and more distance for slower swing speeds. It achieves this with what TaylorMade calls a high-energy REACT core for distance and an aerodynamic 342 dimple pattern to help maintain lift for more carry. The ball comes in white and pink, as you might expect, but it’s also offered in purple, which is pretty popular.

Another golf ball obviously designed specifically for women, with pink lettering, and a new pink alignment aid. What’s more important is that the Srixon Soft Feel Lady is designed with a core that’s softer near the middle and gradually more firm around the perimeter. A very thin cover actually gives it some nice spin characteristics, and the 338 Speed Simple pattern used on its premium balls promises more distance with less drag. This ball is also designed to launch higher for more carry.

This is an interesting ball because it harkens back to the original Precept Lady, a popular soft solid golf ball that competitive senior men in the northeast were playing decades ago when tour balls were still wound. Some say that ball is what inspired the solid core urethane balls like the Pro V1 that followed and dominate the market today. Nevertheless, the Bridgestone Lady Precept is a great ball for women with gradational compression that is supposed to help players with slower swing speed compress the ball for longer drivers. A unique 330-seamless dimple design is also supposed to generate more lift for more carry. It comes in white with light blue lettering, but bright pink is its best color.

The previous balls on this list all have Surlyn or ionomer covers, but this is the first with a urethane cover, which means it is designed for better players (though any player will probably enjoy its performance characteristics). Introduced in 2023, the ERC Soft Reva has a “GRIP Urethane Coating System,” designed to provide more greenside spin. So if you have a little game, this ball will check up on approaches and from greenside shots. It also has a HyperElastic SoftFast core designed to increase ball speed so it goes pretty far. Not only are better women playing this ball, but some senior men have discovered it too.

Volvik golf balls, with their array of colors, have always been fun. The Pink Vivid ball from Volvik targets women players with decent swing speeds looking for more distance. It’s fairly firm with a compression of 85, has what the company calls a “Maximized Energy Core,” and its 322 dimple pattern promotes launch and carry. In addition, it comes in a really vivid pink matte finish. A new alignment tracking system on the ball aids in putting as well, and Volvik is donating money from sales to breast cancer research.

Most of our readers probably didn’t even realize that XXIO makes golf balls, but they do. And the pink Rebound Drive II Women’s golf ball is a premium selection. All the Rebound Drive II balls are three-piece balls with urethane covers. They are designed for players with at least moderate swing speeds, so this probably isn’t the right ball for women (and men, for that matter) who don’t generate much speed through the ball. The ball is constructed with three layers: a FastLayer Core, which is softer at the center but has outer rigidity; a hard, rigid mid zone; and a soft cover, which promotes plenty of spin and feel. The 338 dimple pattern is designed for launch and distance.

With a compression rating of 37, this is the softest golf ball on the market. That would make it ideal for many women’s games, although it’s certainly not targeted just for women players. The Duo Soft really has a nice feel to it, and it’s easy to get up in the air, and with slower swing speeds, it goes pretty far. This two-piece ball has a newly engineered high-energy core that supposedly makes it carry farther than other two-piece balls. It also has a new dimple pattern, designed for a straighter, more penetrating flight. It also comes in an array of colors, including (you guessed it) pink.
