of MyGolfSpy 2025 Golf Ball Test presented by UNRL showed that while the changes in driver spin can be subtle, the low-spin patterns make a lot more sense once you look at the irons, and even more so with the wedges. For players trying to reduce curve, fly the ball down, or stop losing distance from overspinning, understanding which patterns spin less is just as important as knowing which ones spin more.
Below, you’ll find the lowest-spinning high-, mid-, and low-swing golf balls for both drivers and mid-irons based entirely on 2025 bot data.
What does low rev do (and who needs it)?
In MyGolfSpy’s 2025 Golf Ball Test, low spin golf balls consistently produced:
- Straighter tee shots: Low spin reduces curl, a big help for players fighting a slice or hook.
- A flatter, more penetrating flight: Less lift means a stronger trajectory and more opening.
- Less stopping power on the greens: Low spin is great for drivers, but a trade-off for mid- and short-iron control.
- Biggest spin drop in irons and wedges: Even when driver spin differences were subtle, iron spin varied significantly from ball to ball. On 35-yard wedge shots, the difference between the highest- and lowest-spinning balls reached approximately 4,000 rpm.
High swing speed (115 mph driver / 90 mph iron)
At the highest swing speeds, the lower-spin golf balls were almost entirely soft-compression ionomer designs, a sharp contrast from the stiffer “tour” constructions that typically lead high-spin categories.
Driver: Lower RPM (High Speed)
| Golf ball | Rotation (rpm) |
|---|---|
| Callaway Supersoft | 2113 |
| Srixon SOFT FEEL | 2303 |
| TaylorMade SpeedSoft | 2,343 |
Iron: Lower spin (high speed)
| Golf ball | Rotation (rpm) |
|---|---|
| Bridgestone TOUR B RXS | 5,365 |
| Callaway Supersoft | 5855 |
| Vice Pro Air | 5949 |
Average swing speed (100 mph driver / 80 mph iron)
At average driving speeds, soft ionomer models again led the way in reducing driver spin. For iron rolling, ERC Soft AND Supersoft were the clear standouts while The tournament answer was the lower roll urethane option.
Driver: Lowest rpm (average speed)
| Golf ball | Rotation (rpm) |
|---|---|
| Callaway Supersoft | 1972 |
| Srixon SOFT FEEL | 2147 |
| TaylorMade’s tour answer | 2157 |
Iron: Lower spin (medium speed)
| Golf ball | Rotation (rpm) |
|---|---|
| Callaway ERC Soft | 5428 |
| Callaway Supersoft | 5430 |
| TaylorMade’s tour answer | 5555 |
Low swing speed (85 mph driver / 65 mph iron)
For slower swing speeds, the same trio of balls appeared on top again. Supersoft gave the lowest driver torque of any test speed while The tournament answer AND Pro Air showed the lowest rates of iron excretion in this group.
Driver: Lower RPM (Lower Speed)
| Category | Golf ball | Rotation (rpm) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver | Callaway Supersoft | 2589 |
| Driver | TaylorMade’s tour answer | 2740 |
| Driver | Srixon SOFT FEEL | 2761 |
Iron: Lower spin (low speed)
| Category | Golf ball | Rotation (rpm) |
|---|---|---|
| Iron | TaylorMade’s tour answer | 4264 |
| Iron | Callaway ERC Soft | 4292 |
| Iron | Vice Pro Air | 4,323 |
Final thoughts
The 2025 data reinforced a simple truth: Spin can be your friend or your enemy, depending on your swing. Golfers who balloon, add too much curve, or lose distance on too much spin can benefit from a low-spin profile, especially off the tee.
But low torque comes with trade-offs. These balls will not generate the same height, stopping power or greenside control as the higher-spinning urethane tournament models. But for some players, this is a worthwhile trade-off.
