  And which slow it down second most?

  Looking at Nivlac's very handy guide for everything equipment it seems this info is missing from the excel sheet.

  The ones called GI2-D (third page of the pro shop) are the ones that slow it down most. After that, you´ve got a wide selection of balls that slow it down a bit less. The cheapest of those are the GI-D.

  I may be wrong, but I believe the GI-SD balls slow the swing down to the same degree.  At least that's how they are rated in the pro shop.  And they have more spin and more distance.  However, I may be missing something...

  Yes, they slow it down the same as the GID. As I said, there are many other balls which slow it down, I was just putting the GID as an example because they are the cheapest.

  Updated the balls section of the charts.  The GI2 series balls (S or D) slow the meter down the most with a 4 of 10 feel rating.  First-gen GI balls are only 2 of 10.

  IMO, the best non-pro ball is the GI2-S because of the extra durability.
