Choosing The Right Golf Balls

Golfers have a huge range to choose from when it comes to golf balls. Not only do these balls differ in terms of brand, model, and price points, they also differ greatly in performance. Selecting the correct golf ball can be especially difficult for beginners who do not know much about their game and benefits of a good ball choice. Golf balls can be huge game changers especially when playing courses with undulating greens. Performance of the golf balls is very important especially when you need the correct spin and control or when you need increased flight from the tee. With the right golf ball you will be able to develop a more consistent game.

The Ball compression is one of the most important things you should consider when choosing golf balls. Compression refers to the softness of the golf ball and how soft or firm it feels during play. Balls with a compression rating of 50-80 are considered the softest and will result in extra distance for slower swing speeds, which is why they are often chosen by lady and senior golfers. Golf balls with a compression rating of 90+ are the choice of many golfers, which is due ti the fact that they use a ball that compliments their game and maximises distance and control.

Premium ‘tour’ golf balls usually feel much softer than mid-range golf balls due to the softer cover, which increases the spin rate. Faster golf swings will benefit from a harder compression for extra distance but the cover of the golf ball is crucial to determine the spin rate.

Spin is a massive consideration because too much spin will result is loss of distance and not enough spin will result in a loss of control. Balls with softer covers are often said to be much easier to putt with. A huge amount of time and money has gone into the research and development of golf balls. Solid, two piece balls are cheaper to produce and aimed at beginners. Multi-layered golf balls (3, 4 and 5 piece) are the choice for the better players because they offer the best performance, distance, durability and value for money. The outer covers seem to get thinner all the time but the durability is getting much better due to the development of these balls.
