MERIT Lab Tests
For anyone out there who like to dig into the numbers on their gear, we wanted to share the MERIT laboratory testing we did.
Our balls were tested at Golf Laboratories, Inc in San Diego with junior launch conditions, at 75 MPH and 85 MPH clubhead speeds and junior angle of attack.
We compared the results to a well known “PRO” golf ball that is a leader on tour, played every week by elite adults with 110 MPH. We also compared to a “Kids” ball that has a surlyn cover and is less expensive than MERIT or the “PRO” tour ball.
