Some of the long drive guys are up over 140. I've never seen a ball compress like that, and I have no idea how the cover didn't split. But, slo-mo vids usually show the ball coming off a driver, and the driver face itself has some give to it. I suppose it could be one of the low-compression balls designed for slower swing speeds.
