1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for determining an amount of compression of a golf ball that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:

  • record sound generated from an impact of a golf ball against a surface;

    generate data corresponding to the sound, wherein the data includes an audio signal corresponding to the sound of the impact between the golf ball and the surface;

    extract component frequency information from the audio signal;

    determine an amount of compression of the golf ball upon impact with the surface based on the component frequency information;

    automatically direct the golf ball to a first area after determining the amount of compression is within a predefined compression range, elseautomatically direct the golf ball to a second area after determining the amount of compression is not within the predefined compression range; and

    generate an output specifying the amount of compression of the golf ball.
