Default Any harm hitting low compression balls with higher swing speed?
I started golfing seriously in '09 and now that I've learned more about the game, I'm trying to finalize my equipment. Last year I basically just went for low spin, cheap, distance type balls. I really had no clue about compression or my swing speed. I settled on the Srixon AD333, which is by most accounts a pretty good ball. I had my swing analyzed late last year and I averaged 117mph swing speed. My understanding is the AD333 is a fairly low compression, 75-80 ball.

Would I benefit from hitting something more in the 95-100 compression range?
Is there an issue (such as creating extra spin) with hitting a low compression ball with higher swing speed, maybe the extra compression allows the ball to "climb" the club face more?

My understanding is some of the "premium" balls like ProV1 and Srixon ZStar are high compression. I'm not losing balls so much anymore so I don't mind the price, but I'm a little concerned that these balls would have more spin than I would like, as they're designed for better players that want to work the ball. I still struggle with bad swings, the reason for the high handicap. I assume something like the ProV1x would be the ticket as it's basically targetd as the straighter ball flight option. Is there any resource that lists the compression of balls, I really haven't found that listed on any of the manufacturer's sites?
