Compression Design

Why Compression Matters

Every golfers are build different. Physical strength, swing speed, and even the club design, can affect how they swing and hit the golf ball.

When golf ball compression does not match golfer’s swing characteristics:

• Energy transfer becomes inefficient

• Launch conditions become inconsistent

• Distance and feel suffer

Trust’s compression design addresses this mismatch by offering multiple compression-tuned cores, allowing golfers to select a ball that deforms correctly for their swing speed.

Engineering Definition

Compression Rating Formula

During research and development, Trust Golf evaluates compression using an industry-recognized (PGA Rating) physical model:

Compression = 180 – (Deformation × 1,000)

• "Deformation" is measured under 200 lbs. of applied load

• Each 0.001 inch of deformation corresponds to 1 compression point

• Higher compression values indicate lower deformation (firmer golf ball)

• Lower compression values indicate greater deformation (softer golf ball)

This approach allows us to quantify compression not as a subjective “feel,” but as a measurable mechanical response of the core.

Core Design Principle

Our core technology is engineered around three measurable performance objectives:

  Durability  

The core formulation maintains compression stability over repeated high-energy impacts, ensuring consistent deformation characteristics throughout the ball’s lifespan.

  High COR (Coefficient of Restitution)  

Optimized polymer structure maximizes elastic energy return, increasing ball speed and extending flight time.

  Consistency  

Tight manufacturing tolerances ensure uniform deformation behavior across all production batches, improving shot-to-shot repeatability.
